Hello from South Africa
 

Hi
I am Craig and have a passion for Cars and Bikes
I have built a few custom Bikes and want to do proper sheet metal shaping

One of the things I am looking at is should I buy or build a stretcher shrinker

Hopefully i will be able to contribute to the forum :)

Hi Craig welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum Craig. Glad to see another South African here.

The shrinker/stretcher does speed things up, but is not a necessity. I found with my tank, the usual Adendorf ones just can't get in deep enough. I ended up doing it with tuck shrinking. I find my English wheel more useful even though it is a wet noodle. It smooths things out afterwards with some light pressure.
