Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Don't worry Boss, I should be back out there after the kiddies go to bed. The neighbors might run me out of the neighborhood if I keep this up. I don't know how much I can get done tonight cause I gotta make somemore noise.
I'm having a ball working from home. I can get so much more done since I don't get the interruptions that I get at work.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Same concept Alan, you lay a sheet over the wet paint and wiggle your fingers around and remove. Bake then clear.
* Bed is coming along great!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I can actually understand all the jargon you're using now..lol
The bed looks to be in decent shape considering. How did you shrink the stretched areas?

There were several others dents around that area. I kept picking at them trying to get the contour back and the tension came back. I didn't have to use heat/quinch method this time. It was just a combination of a bunch of dents close to each other. I can shrink metal, but not as good as I want to be. You should have seen the first time I tried to do it solo.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I talked to Ron Covell at the Fathers Day LA Roadster Show about shrinking. He said he doesn't even quench it. He lets it cool natural. I haven't tried it yet. Ron is one of the best metal guys around. He's the one that has all the videos, and class rooms seminars.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I have heard this from Ron be for. He said that if you dont let it cool natural it will work harden. then will get more brittle as you go.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
How did I know that was going to happen.
It took 5 batches to wipe the whole bed side. It sounds like a lot, but those are big panels.
