I'll let you know how it goes. I got the '57 wagon out this weekend. Man, is the front end screwed up. That pothole did a number on the lower A-arms. Pushed them back about 2 inches. Can's wait to get that Art Morrison frame under that one . . . wanna help? Heehee. Thank you again for the welcome. I'm gonna have fun here.

welcome Ellen, it's always great to have a female involved in the hobby.

Rick the tool you want is called the Run Razor. It works in much the same way as a wood plane does (blade positioned at a very shallow angle). I have never used one myself, however I watched a pro painter do it one time and it works amazingly well.

Thanks for any advise you may have.

I would have them shot.....




But thats me....
