Metalshaping question
I was hoping to get some advise on how to go about making this panel. This is my next little job its a panel from the rear of a 1953 Hudson suburban.
Most of the inner structure is repairable but the complete outer skin is rotten as you can see and needs to be replaced. Its made from 16 g. The panel with the little swage (BEAD) is 19g. All suggestions readily received David

I'd farm it out to a bloke called David Gardiner. He does brilliant stuff.

Hi David,
i think i would go like this 3 pieces...welded in the radius ... For the beads you van make a hammerform just cut out the shape in a piece of steel and make a little tool to hammer the bead. Next pictures show a firewall from a Lancia Aurelia i did a while back. Last edited by Ben; 12-17-2014 at 03:59 PM. |

Ben,
How do you clamp your cut-out metal guide to your sheet metal? What do you put under the sheet metal. I'm about to start an Alfa Giulietta restoration and believe I'll be doing some of this on the floor pans.

i just clamped the blank (oversize) onto the hammerform then i used a rubber mallet and hit the panel with it so you start seeing where the beads are. Then i used the little tool i made and chased the beads with it...There was nothing under the sheet metal.The tool was made for the dept i needed. Hope this answers your question. Ben |

I think this is Davids Holiday test.

Thanks Ben that is how I planned it. I just wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. The possible problems is the flat face distorting because of the heat of the welding.
