I had less time in this repair than the insurance company and 2 local collision shops estimated for using bondo > BTW I LOVE this car and have dibs on it should it ever go up for sale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) That's the way it should be.

Excellent work! I wonder how much lighter the DP car would be if I took out all the bondo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Scotty,

So splain the shrink disc to me please (or vendor). I always used a low heat torch setting and dollys in the past. Does it draw the metal up tight after it expands? No Tiger Hair or Bondo needed?

I'm all about shrinkage for necessity, ummm, limited to vehicle body work that is.

Simply put, spot heating and shrinking is just that. It does a great job but only works a small area. the shrinking disc heats a larger area and while heating it you can use the disc to manipulate the metal and " move " it where you need it. Then you quickly cool the area with a wet rag just like you would using a torch. that draws everything up tighter and locks it in place.
