'56 Door Corner Radius...
...I know this has been done successfully by some members here...
I was wondering if anyone did a photo documentation of their progress
for the metal-working-new-B's like me?...
I've pinched a finger or three in a Planishing Hammer & English Wheel
before...
...but this Eatwood Shrinker/Strecher set just grabbed ahold of a small
piece of one of my pinkies and...I gotta tell ya...gloves will never fit the same again...
...
Anyway...back to the radius thing......

I did mine myself, there is pictures in my gallery but probably not as informative as you're looking for. There was an article in classic trucks or custom classic trucks magizine some time ago. You could try doing a search on thier web site and might get a better how to on there. I didn't find it to be to hard to do. Make a template of the radius you want and cut, on the door weld up the edges of the door skins. On the pillar cut out and shape to the contour of the body and weld in, remembering to allow for gaps. The pieces can be formed by hand very easily, sorry I can't be much more help.Maybe having this bumped back to the top someone else can add some expert help.
