Hi I'm Dave from Prescott, I'm looking to restore an early 55 chevy pickup (series 1) and I wanted to find out some of the best ways to shape the sheetmetal outside of having some body else do it for me. I know it's probably cheaper to have the local body shop do it but I'm kind of funny that way.

The problem is that the local body shop will just pop rivet a couple beer cans or window screen in place and slather on the bondo. Finding a 'body shop' that can shape sheet is like looking for a honest politician.
