Making body panels from sheet metal.
The first step was to shape the fender flare detail around the wheel opening.
With a bead roller you put the metal between a male and female die that are tightened down to press the design that is cut into the dies into the metal.
For this task schrock cut two separate panels one for the inner fender lip and another for the outer quarter panel from sheet metal stock and welded them together.
It is done with steel panels by heating the metal with an oxy acetylene torch to a temperature between 1 550 and 1 600 degrees f between bright red and salmon red and allowing it to air cool.
Mark drew out the area in which the flare metal needed to be stretched in.
If you elect to make a single panel measure the total dimension required and cut the panel to size.
A panel beater bag is the most diverse piece of metal shaping equipment and can be used to back the panel.
Using two separate pieces and welding together will make the piece stronger and also make it easier to shape the metal than making the piece out of one piece of metal.
Then mark and bend the panel in your sheetmetal brake before you use your bead roller to add structural ridges to the part.
