dude learning is one thing, you do this and ya screw it up guess what its going to cost you allot more money in the long run, and if saw your car pull up to my shop and this job gone a stray, i would tell you striaght out, that i would have to charge you 2-3 more labor hours just to clean up the mess you made

todays metal is between 16-18 gauge, which is flimsy but yet thick so its inbetween, metal gets it s strenght from shaping heating and cooling all in the same time, so my question is can you use metal shaping hammers??

do you know how to use a torch?? can you use a shot bag to shape the metal on, basic knowledge on metal shaping, and no a you tube video isnt going to teach you shit

do you know how to use a english wheel, metal plannisher, a throatless sheer, sheet metal break, CAN YOU WELD!!!!
