Re: Sheet Metal

Some guys here have found that the best strategy is to get a new panel and graft it to the original panel portion with the alignment and mounting holes intact (see Bam's build thread). I am currently having issues with my passenger fender/door/cab/hood alignment (all original parts) because the truck had been hit in the front and I "corrected" the previous body mans bent metal. I now suspect it was in the shape it was to get the panels to align.
