Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Love seeing your progress. Everyone has already said all that can be said about how amazing your skills are. You inspired me and taught me thru this thread so I went out to try to get a few dents out of my 66 Lincoln that I was going to have someone do for me. While my results aren't nearly as wonderful as your work I was able to get a pretty good sized crease out of my lower quarter panel in which I had little access to the back side. I don't have nearly the tools you do for body work but seeing your use of everyday things got my creative side going. Used my cheap hammers and a pry bar on the backside to get down into the lower quarter panel and watched in amazement as the dent started to disappear a bit at a time A little filler (approx. 1/16 to 1/8 at what was about a 5/8 inch crease) so I called it good for a beginner.
Thanks for sharing and getting me out of my comfort zone and into the wonderful word of metal shaping. When your in my position there's no where to go but up!!
