KiwiTR6 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi all. I'm not actually doing a restoration as such but recently came across the following YouTube video which may be worth a look for anyone doing panel work. Gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PodOne Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Useful technique will give it a go at some point. Thanks Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Really useful tip about cutting at 45 degrees but the one thing I found slightly strange was the square corners - I always thought it was better to "round" corners so as tosee avoid stresses building up in the panel - you could still do that with his technique from what I could see.

RobH Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 The odd thing I noticed was that he apparently doesn't use a welding helmet. Must like arc-eye then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He`s doing the "Shut your eyes every time" method, often works for tacking but you do get a good suntan! Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I like it. Time consuming but it makes a very neat job and probably avoids issues with sheet metal warping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
