Nevin,
Thanks for the recognition....
Always flange the REPLACEMENT Panel
1)The main panel may have a curve or compound curve that you will want to
use as reference.
2)You may screw up and, you can buy a new replacement panel, not your orig.
piece...
3)I prefer butt welding but..... there you go!
40 This was answered quickly, I'm heading out to a wedding but I wanted to
answer your question..if you need more e-mail me.
"Restoringly" Yours,

Subject: panel flanging
Hi all, I'm about to start doing my panel replacements tomorrow, with the
nibbler and flanger I ended up getting from Eastwood. (I would have been
doing it today, but that "You asked for it you got it" car needed its
second starter in as many years).
The question is this: When replacing panels, it seems one could either
flange the replacement panel and put the edge under the original, or flange
the panel on the car and then lay the replacement panel on top of that
flanged edge. Is there a preferred way of doing it, and why? Thanks. (Where
are you, Bryce?)
