Bending the Radius and Dent Repair

In this installment of our Restoration 101 series we have a Jaguar 150 OTS door that after removing the paint and cleaned up the rust, saw a great amount of rot on the bottom of the door skin. So Wray decided to cut the bottom half of the Jaguar door. So now he cuts out a template of the door skin, and cuts a piece of sheet metal larger than the template for "cheat room" and leverage. Using two thin strips of sheet metal he marks the radius of the door in the front and rear. Puts the marks on the sheet metal and using things everyone has in their shop bends the radius. Now that Wray has access with a dolly, he uses a slapper to take out the dents in the door. If there are any high spots Wray uses his shrinking disc and a bottle of soapy water to bring the high spots down.
