Quarter panel sheet metel Q's...

[d.j. moordigian]

I'm getting close to removing the quarter panels on my 28 roadster.
The hem at the bottom, from the "B" pillar to the back, is bent 180
degrees over on the sub rail. I was thinking of annealing, right at the
edge of the 180, to get a clean bend back to 90 deg's. I'm thinking
the bend is NOW worked hardened and should make it easier to bend back.
It should make it more friendly for the bottom reveal also.

Anybody done this/any thoughts ?

Thanks, Dudley

Dudley, mild/carbon steel does not "work harden" therefore it really does not require annealing like some alloys, brass & copper do. Heating it will soften it by making it molten which will assist bending but it will not stay solf and pliable like annealed metals will.

Thanks Brent, it was a thought and I had to ask.
