Gentlemen
After some advice as to what tools / equipment should take priority if I was looking to get into basic automotive sheet metal fabrication. As you will see below, per my reckoning I would like approximately $2.5K AUD worth of home enthusiast level gear - just curious if others think I am prioritising correctly.
It's always been on my bucket list along with tig welding. My initial need is to make some inner wheel arch fenders for an F-150 I'm restoring.
I already own most welding / automotive tools.
I have already purchased:
Hammer and Dolly kit (collecting dollies looks like it could be send me down a rabbit hole of addiction)
Mallet and sandbag
I was planning on purchasing an:
English Wheel
Shrinker / Stretcher
Bead Roller
Panbrake
Appreciate any help...
