More post dollies

[knoba]

Either vice mounted or hand-held.

I've been using them vice mounted with my metal horse to make new body panels, from 1.0mm zintec sheet steel, for my old rust-prone van (originals/replacements are no longer available). They did an outstanding job!

These 2 panel sections, shown bordered by white, had to include the seal profiles at the bottom, lower style line & original right angled joining seams for spot welding;



Hand-held, they allowed me to shape & redress, in situ, the metal roof (originally entirely corrugated) to fit both these sunroofs, as there was no provision for them in the original design (I have a good collection of bodywork dollies, but none that would properly address the shapes the new roof openings needed);



They're like mini shaping anvils. Great too for new panels, that never seem to fit like they should.
