Since I've started doing more sheetmetal work on trucks I've had my eye on Eastwood's Shrinker/Stretcher combo to help speed things up. I ordered a set before I went to CT and today I finally had time to try them out. These things are the slickest tools I've come across in a long time. It's really amazing how they work and make just what I'll need. I'm redoing Jill's PPE Townwagon currently and the one fender she brought has a badly rusted trailing edge. With this new tool I'll be able to make a perfect patch panel and save a huge amount of time. Plus it will be a better job in the end. I also ordered a set of Cleco pins and pliers to help with laying up panels. If these work as well as I think they will it should make a big difference in doing the rear wheel well lips. I'm no pro at bodywork but these new additions will help make the job easier.
