: flangers drptop70ss Apr 15th, 01, 5:09 AM What are you guys using to flange metal for hanging partial quarters and installing patches? Air or manual style? Can anyone recommend a good brand, I want to get a decent tool that will last. ------------------ Dave (NY) 70 chevelle ss396 conv 66 chevelle ss396 hdp/conv 72 chevelle TC member #493 Never forget Earnhardt! MARTINSR Apr 15th, 01, 8:04 AM I have the small converted "ViseGrip" that Eastwood sells, it of course is indestructible. It is a little small and on a large panel you'll get pretty tired opening it and closing it a hundred times but it is small enough to make it through on the curves. I have used an air one at work and don't like it, the manual one is the way to go for me. But if I may add, putting a strip of metal behind the patch with plug welds works better than a flange in most cases. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" 70isfine Apr 15th, 01, 5:07 PM This one is cool http://www.sktoolstore.com/astro/astmat03.html#600pt MARTINSR Apr 15th, 01, 8:25 PM Hey 70isfine, Thanks for the great link! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif I went back to the home page and that site has a ton of tools. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" | ||
