Re: 1966 F100 Short Bed Styleside Metal/Body/Paint Work
Quote:
I lightly hold the dolly on top and use the hammer to push the metal up, pretty much just letting the weight of the dolly hold it down- no added pressure. The dolly is mainly there to squeeze the metal between the hammer and dolly for stretching the metal, and the hammer is also pushing the metal upward as it stretches. The dolly will somewhat keep the metal from moving up as much as it could so some hammer blows without the dolly will rearrange the metal into the correct shape if there's enough stretching. It would still stretch the metal if the hammer/dolly were on opposite sides but I feel like hammering in the direction you want it to go is more effective.
