    Are you talking about a panel flange maker? It steps the panel down to make a flange to support it?

    welding is NOT hard at all... if you have a home depot near you, go rent a welder, buy some wire, they will show you what kind to get, and take it home, get some scrap metal and just start playing... you will find it a lot easier than you think

    this might be a stupid question... but how are you going to locate the rear end in the back of the car without anything to reference off of, and after you cut the entire back end off the car..


    seems to me like you cut too much off at once... but i have never done it, so thats why i am asking.

    looks like Plum Crazy might have some competition one day

    stmanser not a stupid question but a good one there is alot of premeasureing and taking notes and finding referance points on the car to measure to so that it all can be squared back up and in the right place in the end

    Wardf that is the 1/4 off of Bruces 75 or76 what ever car he had before the one he has now.

    ericglo square 2x3 box and Chris Alston 4-link
