Banging steel

Who here beats their own metal? I'd like a few tips and tricks, as I have work one the Beast and Blue to do. I've never done bodywork in the Army, despite having a kit for it since about 07.

Back in 1998, while in South Africa, I ran across an old fashioned body shop. That business was referred to as "Panel Beaters"! A dying art.


Today, most remove and replace.

I've done a little but not recently. Search "hammer and dolly" you'll find some utubes and also some metal working sites that have pictures and detailed information.
