Hi guys,

I'm looking for recomendations for body files and holders. Autobody depot has a flexiblre file and holder but they are about $35 each! How many teeth do I need (6,8, or 15)?'ve seen some cheapies on ebay but am not sure what to get. This is my first attempt at metal working on my '66 so I'd like to get the right tools. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks as always!

Don't know about the tooth count, but Eastwood sells some good files.

Martin Tool and Forge makes great hammers and dollies, they might make files too.

I have a flexable one that I use very rarely. My good old wooden handle is what I use 99% of the time.

If you want metal working tools, go to a REAL pro. click here for Ron Covell site (http://http://). He is a stand up guy who I have had the pleasure of chatting with many times and have bought many tools and videos from. You just don't get any better than the stuff this guy puts out. His videos are as good as if you had the man in your living room giving a clinic. He is a super gentleman. His prices on super high quality hammers and dollies can't be beat.

I get nothing what so ever out directing you to him, he is just such a stand up guy and his tools are so nice I have to highly recommend him.
