Hello all and John if your reading along today.
I've been doing some fender slicing and welding... of course lots of pounding also... specifically, I need some technique advice. So I've got a spot that I want to shrink or tighten extra metal in. I know John sells the shrinking disks which I'm considering, ... but in the interm, what is the old fashioned shrinking technique. I know to heat the area with a torch.. but then do I cool it rapidly with water or something... or do I let it cool slowly to get the most shrink out of it? hope this makes since brant |

QUOTE(brant @ Oct 1 2003, 11:01 AM) JP... You should see the back fenders... b Yes I should. Where's the freakin' pics, damnit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm always lookin' for ideas to steal. I don't like the GT flares, I don't like mine....I like Johns full pooch smooth bulge jobbies, but I need wheel well width of about 11 inches...maybe 10 will do. The rear is the problem area.....humm...just like my own body, go figure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
