Re: Making your own patch panels.

Looks really good, and its nice to see someone work the metal instead of the bondo. Looks like you need a wider curved hammer to do the bottom of the fender though. When I did the bottoms of my fenders I used my shrinker first and shrunk my patch to the general feel, then hammer'ed and wheeled it, shrunk again, and wheeled it smooth.

for the top of the fender, if you weld an argon bottle top to a piece of pipe it works well. I'd say the argon top is my best/most used hammer...
