Body hammers and body dollies. Make a template of the piece and flatten it out, trace yo new metal and work it. It might be one of the more fun things to do on a resto. 18 gauge is about the thickness. I've make more intricate shapes by welding smaller pieces together.

Harbor Freight. I joined their club at the same time I bought a set of dollies and saved more than enough to pay for the membership.

You won't break a nail pushing your car around! Lol

The reason that I had the engine sitting so high on the dolly was to have it at the same height as the car was while sitting level on the roll around body dollies.

40 deep is the key........ my 30x40 space fits 6 and a bench.......if everything is on dollies, and pushed to the sides, there is room to work there are 5 full size cars in this picture lol

...caster. This plays hell with steering feel. Now, if you're just looking to raise the car to push around a shop on smooth floors, those dollies are great. To drive on the street, The rise in height makes for a poor handling car. You could get a set of those multi-adjustable upper control arms...

Yeah I will clean more off this week and post some more pics. Was more asking what sort of tools, dollies etc.

...tilted it like you show in your first post. Mine didn’t have the front or rear suspension or any doors or bolted panels and was on home made dollies. I was able to lift it by hand onto its side. I used a sawhorse on the opposite side to keep it from going over all the way. The roof rail...

...do a job like this. It's on a 69 Coronet. In front of the rear left wheel one of the POs has done some dodgy work and I wanna fix it. I've picked up some tools, basic panel hammer and dollies, english wheel and a bead roller. Haven't really used the wheel yet but looking forward to the day I do.

I've had a set of Craftsman body tools from probably 50 years ago and imo, they are pretty decent (hammers and dollies). The hammers all have fiberglass handles with rubbers grips. The grips are not overly soft and are not overly too hard either. I have a Craftsman framing hammer from the late...

Agree, doesn't work on reconductoring, only on wide open new stuff. Our reconductor bids always had a trip out penalty clause by the home utility. That is one of the reasons that kind of work is expensive, it has to be figured in to bidding. It's one of the variables we were very good at. Since...

I do six cars 30ft wide no problem..... 10 of width feet per car x 3 .......... 25 ft wide x 40 deep will get you 4 cars easily, dollies are your friend a lift would make things very tight I'm gonna do an out door lift with a car port over top, but I have a rear door and an area out back that...

That was a simple build. I just used three car dollies and some scrap steel.

...current thought is to use the lift to raise the rear portion of the car and an engine hoist to raise the front. Install the assembly. Install dollies of the front and rear then roll the car back to where the scissor lift will safely support it. As you can see, there would be a LOT of weight...

I used several HF moving dollies, and scrap wood. I bought 2 large, and 2 small dollies. I put a small one inside the larger one. Then attached 4x4, and 2x4 wood to cradle the K member. The other dollie is to support the transmission. With the wheels off of the car, I could reach the K member...

Depending on the car there should be either a button (use a pen or paperclip) or a grenade pin inside the console near the shifter, to let you get out of park. Steering...dunno. Dollies? or just slide 'er the shortest distance possible (presuming you have a winch)

...of my K frames have holes for the guide pins. I was wondering if they put holes in the K frames the next year or so because I am seeing K frames on dollies using guide pins. I guess I'm going to have to drill holes based upon the pictures I see of newer K frames with the holes as a template.

Until Works good until the grunt or ape losses a pea line then your setting up anyway. I rarely set a pole with dollies on it, seems like as soon as I do I end up going back and moving them and only pea line dollies if it a reconductor job. We usually string rope lay it up and dolly up 1 step...

...few other projects and the frigid cold temp (-25c) . Warmer weather this weekend was able to get back out there. With car up on some roller dollies i was able to get under the car and maneuver the drivers side header a bit more and gave me much better access to the head bolts. I didn't have...

...had and a $45 wheel and compound kit from Princess Auto (read Harbour Freight). Other than that, a few sheets of sand paper and what ever dollies and hammers I have lying around does some amazing work on grills, trim pieces, etc I'd never done it before myself, but after my paint shop sent...
