Hi guys and gals
We are looking for a metal shrinker/stretcher and have come up with nothing in UK so are looking to the USA. We have contacted TM Technologies who supply a kit and plans to put your own together. Have any of you heard of them or have a machine from them? It is an air powered sheet metal power hammer for shaping 3D sheet metal, esp car bodies. We would prefer to buy from UK or Europe if at all poss, if anyone has any recommendations. Andy is getting busy with old cars, working on a 1930 rapier lagonda at the moment, new rear and rear wings followed by a whole new front end for a 50's austin healey. Picture attached of 1925 Renault which he made running boards and wings for. His poor old arms are getting very tired and there is only so much you can do with a cut and weld!
