Now I have a spot that's warped. What's the best way to shink the metal back in to shape? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 |

I will give it a try. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 154 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 154 | reheat it with the tourch. not real hot just enough so that when you hit it with a really wet water rag it will shrink. do about as many times as needed untill it's back in shape.
I am not sure if this can be over done. I have done it in the past but quite when I though I was close.
I also have cut it with a cutting wheel to reelieve the excess and then when finished wire welded the damage back up and did the necessary body work, filling & sanding. | | |
