We have been working with some of our advanced metal working tools. Here is a patch panel mockup, where a shrinker stretcher was employed to precision-craft a 90-degree bend, matching the specified radius. Subsequently, the English wheel was utilized to meticulously shape the complex curves of the fender. As the damaged section is replaced and the new piece is fine-tuned for a flawless fit, this restoration project is progressing with very satisfying results. Stay tuned for further updates.
