Hi Wesley, Thanks for looking.
It's a skillset that I've been developing over a number of years...and still continue to develop every single day. Seems the more I learn, the more questions I get.

Tucks
Nick,
When forming the aggressive tucks, are you using mounted tucking forks? Sure looks like a deep tuck with a lot of elbow grease behind it. Nice build,

Hi John,
These tucks, bout 3" deep, were created using a set of hardened 'deep work' forks I made. The vice on the steel bench is used to hold the forks, so I can really wrap the metal around them. Once the ends of the tucks are closed, the mashing process goes pretty quick. Biggest thing to watch out for is the end rolling over onto itself. The stump could have used the stump to accomplish the same task. Thanks for checking out the progress.

I'm really enjoying following this Nick - great work!
On the tucking forks, I've taken to mounting mine horizontal instead of upright - much easier to apply the force needed on thicker or 'locked up' panels... |

Great tip Barry, will definitely give that a whirl next time.
Thanks!

Some progress on the driver's side rear 1/4.
Enough excess material has been left to trim away the marred area created by the shrinker. I thought I caught the inner trunk seal area in the photo...guess not. If you look closely you can just make out that the top part of the 1/4 also includes the trough. Will get a better photo next time. Once the passenger side has been roughed in, the parts will be welded, edges rolled and shoulder line created. Moving onto the other side. Manually rolling an edge on the rear cab panel. After cutting out the flat blank, some initial shape is put into the panel ... which makes it bend the wrong way!!! No worries though. Initial stump shrinking followed by some time in the wheel starts bringing it around where it needs to be. The fender flare isn't wide enough yet, so we'll need to address that.
