Hi to all,
After receiving my welding course from JoeSpark (thanks!!!). I'm going to start to tackle repairing the big holes in the car. First though I need to make some replacement panels but have never really done any metal working. If I want to make the exact same part as in this picture below, what would be the best way to proceed. Should I make the flanges fisrt and then try and bend the whole thing or vice-versa? It's probaly very simple to do but I'm sure there are steps to follow. Any help is appreciated. Mihai Attached image(s)

Hey
Almost missed the thred... I was thinking about strenghthening the box from the inside, with triangled bracing, I think I saw a pic of this ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) If we can get together one weekend, stick it on my frame machine, lock it down, weld away. Maybe we can hook up with freezing14, and set something up. Mihai and I spoke about keeping the car strait while doing the work, he's got it down. The good thing about doing this on a frame machine is the car can be adjusted before welding in new parts. In my shop I have a 914 that had major surgery, and is too much opened (opposite of rust sag) the person that replaced the rockers, then reinforced, he was expecting a "bounce" so it was put with an intentional oversized clearances. It never bounced...car weighs nothing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) I would like to see the differences of a hand made part and a pre-fab metal replacement panel (installed pic), little pricey for us Canucks.... Later Joe Attached image(s)
