Hi all!


I'm just getting started with metal shaping after having watched pretty much all of Trev's Blog on youtube. I have a wagoneer in the works that will need some custom panels made as well as some patch panels. I joined to learn as much as I can from the guys that actually are metal shapers as opposed to just talking about it.



One of the things I'm finding hardest to learn is layout. I'm not sure how to account for panel deformation in my dimensions so that the final panel has features in the right places to line up with existing panels.


Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for the kind welcome! I'm near the coast in what's called the Inner Banks.
