    Hey,

    I'm just curious, why the cutout just above the Lt. B Post in the top panel, and why is he using a radius faced hammer on a low crowned panel like a roof?:confused:

    That's a good save on that roof and all involved should take a bow;)

    The cutout was necessary because that area was too far gone to m***age (It must have been where the hit first&did the most damage). Jon (metalinnovations) is going to have to address exactly why he used that hammer . I'll give him a heads up.

    I am using a radius hammer on the inside of the roof down near the gutter because it is the perfect shape for that area. Still allot more metal finishing to go. We will start laying out the chop soon.
