straightening mangled aluminum panels - feasible?
I saw a documentary about the "lightweight" E-type Jaguar.
Only 12 were made, so they are worth millions. Some bloke bought a crashed specimen, and restored it, allegedly repairing original panels. Now these were aluminum. How can you straighten it when something is creased over nearly 180 degrees? I guess you would have to heat it, then bend back about 20 degrees, then heat again in many steps, until original shape is apparent. Even then, I reckon he would have needed a lot of bog filler to getting it looking half decent. |
