This is a very effective technique called “Flow Forming”
I modified my old door skin tool that I no longer use to be the male shape that I needed.

Hey folks. I have been slacking on posting lately.
Im stoked to have my son back while he is in summer vacation….
Things are moving rite along. I will post up some photos up later from the last rotation. This one is getting real close to being finished. I just got the hood, doors and decklid back from blast and prime.

Ok folks …. an update on the KG …. We have wrapped up all the major metal work. I’m removing the body from the rotisserie to a cart in preparation to receive the pan here shortly. It’s important to me to get the body and pan married back together so I can finalize fitment and gaps. This one is really close to moving to the next chapter. I’m really happy with the rate that we are able to get these cars wrapped up on the metal phase of the restoration process.

We put the 61 on the back burner for a minute but now we are back at it and wrapping it up hopefully this week. Going over and taking care of tasks here and there then loading it on a pan to do the final fitting/ gapping of the doors , decklid and hood.

I have been dialing in the door gaps multiple ways these days. First one is the spacing as per this diagram. Then I took a page out of the Porsche design and started hand making different thickness hinge shims so I can correct unevengaps from top to bottom as well as push the door back as needed.
In the absence of the use of lead these days I add weld to the doors and or the body to mimic what they did in the factory with Lead by using Welds . I’m happy with the doors so now im finalizing the decklid gaps them into the hood.
