Hi,
I am a hot rodder with three homes.....:D
I also have old cars in all three places and very often I need to shape some metal to repair rust or do a modification. I am looking forward to what I can learn here.
Right now I am planning a cab stretch on my Willys 1938 pickup truck. You may think it is a shame to cut up a reasonably rare specimen, but you sit like crap in there with you gas knee up in your chin. So, better to ride in comfort than saving a specimen.
I have two options for the cut, either behind the door or right in the middle of the door. Both requires some metal shaping.

Thanks
Bo

HI Bo welcome to the forum

Welcome to AllMetalShaping Bo. This link is some photos of a bunch of work done on Bennett Chapman's 41 Chevy pickup. Top was chopped 2", 4" longer in the doors and 2" wider behind the doors. His cab was pretty rough but the principles are the same.

Hi Kerry,
The link works but I see no pictures! :dunce:
Am I doing something wrong? I really like to read and see more of that project!
Thanks
Bo

I don't know Bo. I see them fine. Are you signed in when you look at them? Anyone else can or can't see them?

the photos are in one of my albums: http://allmetalshaping.com/album.php?albumid=52

I BO and welcome!:)
If you add to the back behind the door I think it would easier.
Just support and brace everything before you cut it apart.

Hi Bo, Welcome to the forum, I am sure you willfind info here to help you.
