I made tops a little long and then used my tank roll dies on bead roller to turn edge . Now edge blends real nice into 1/4 panel.

After being rear ended in a collision and cutting all sheetmetal and supports out the rear of the car is sagging. So I am makeing a brace from bumper bracket mounts and now I have someway of jacking the rear of car back to the proper place while I am welding car back together. And hopefully it will stay !!

Got Bella when down for the classic. She is a hand full, Dam she pee's every 10 minutes it seams! That and she likes to run and body slam yoda, Yoda try's to catch her but being 15 she is not as quick as she us to be. Cool that you did not put them in, I am makeing the inner braces and would like to put a set on your panels. They will be made from heavy'r guage for strength.

Close up of bottom, Originally they where made from 20 guage and choose to go with 18 guage for a little more strength. And the steps from pattern to parts being made.

For those that have never rolled a bead on bead roller. When finished, the ends are not finished and here is a tool I made to hammer down and shape or finish end of bead.

Getting started on some rust repair. First thing is to make some patterns and I was lucky to have a donner corner of a 1/4 panel to kinda work from and I have a nice unhit corner for final fit.

Clamped onto a virgin 1/4 , I think I will leave it alone tll I get the edges or inner structure remade on the bottom of rusted car. So I can see if there is some fine tuneing on shape.

Besides a hard rubber pad and some hammers, These are the tools I used. One is a hand held wheel that I restored, Had to make the block that holds upper wheel manually on the mill and my other wheel that was wood grained by artist john rayburn. Thats bella next to it, Not john ! LOL !!

Also my Eckold power shrinker/stretcher made in switzerland, Great machine. Look up eckold and check out the trick machines they make for manufactureing in the automotive industry, I used a larger version of this machine to make frame rails for a car when working at a studio building concept cars.
