Using my Panel cart on its first job- holding the Bantam toolbox I recently found, while I take some minor dents out of it. The clamps hold the odd shape very well, makes filing WAY easier!! #porterferguson #panelcart #vintageautobody #bodywork #autobodytools #sheetmetalfabrication #sheetmetalshaping #blackhawktools #blackhawktoolbox #bantam #toolbox #vintagetooljunkie #vintagetools #bodyhammer #portapower #portopower #pickandfile https://www.instagram.com/p/CEt9HPGnkHf/?igshid=1oz7vcmd3jphp

Top side is finished, ready to start in the bottom and side panels.

100 years old and the Oliver 17 still slices through wood like butter. Got all of the stations cut out, ready to start final assembly soon. #vintagewoodworking #vintagebandsaw #oliverbandsaw #oliver #oliverwoodworking #vintageequipment #sheetmetalfabrication #sheetmetalshaping #sheetmetalbuck #woodenbuck #metalshapingbuck #customcar #handbuilt #vintagetooljunkie https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rL8vkH76L/?igshid=i1p1xzg8f8kl

Newly made dead cowl flap for the Corsair. This goes on top of the center section, right behind the engine. Don't be fooled by it's simple appearance, it has a ton of shape in it. The last pic shows the quick drill guide I made and how much material I had to move.
