I started out to help a friend with some rust repair on his Mercedes. Things got a little out of hand.
I started on this car last year but had to put it on hold. I worked all summer, fall and early winter out of town. Attached image(s)

No worries Scotty! That is exactly the same section I'm doing. Here's the front floor.

Hey Rich, Here's my hammer. I modified with this shrinking hammer. It doesn't do much but it will smooth sharp dings and edges.

Rick if you're interested in building a larger hammer there WAS ( I can't seem to find him now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) a guy on E-bay that sells a C.P. style hammer with the mounting bracket for around 750.00 I have been looking at several options and he has the best price, but doesn't state which size air unit it is. A friend of mine got one of them and it was a pretty nice unit. I am, planning on building one similar to this when I get a little more room. If you're interested, I also have the specs on building the holding bracket from a metal shaper.org member from a while back.

Rick,
I won't screw around with a shrinking hammer any more. Get one of John Kelly's shrinking disks. Ken |

Larger hammers like the one I posted above will do more than a shrinking disc ever can. Not to diminish the usefulness of the disc at all though. Here is the Ebay hammer and bracket if interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/Chicago-Pneumatic-Plan...1QQcmdZViewItem |

The disk is nice when you have a panel mounted on the car. My space is limited. I also have in floor heat so I don't really have a way to secure large equipment. When I build my next shop I plan on leaving an area where I can drill anchors into the floor. No comments on the stacked "W" on the bench... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I liked the stacks...look cool.
For your floor...ask the local highway department where to get a 4*8 plate of 1/2 inch steel... It wont budge, you can weld tabs to it and bolt to that.. It will heat up just like the floor, even better so it wont be cold. Getting it in the door will be fun, but it will work. I wish I had a heated floor... I am considering doing a jig like Gary Emory uses. Its two octaganal hoops that go around the car. Sounds odd, but take a look Once you bolt it all together and bolt it to the car you can turn the car on its side, on its back etc...and you can move it all around the shop. Its universal (kinda) so I could use it for different chassis setups. The Used Cellette....talk to me..is it for sale? What Jigs come with it? I do have room. We could share it...happy to meet in the middle once a year and trade it for our projects.. Rich |
