English Wheel

 This tool came into being about 100 years ago. Evolving through the European coach building trades, this tool most likely began as a big improvement on a small hand tool known as the fender smoother. As time went on, it was realized a larger and sturdier version known as the english wheel would be forming sheet metal into compound shaped panels from a flat sheet. To make a long story short, this tool can create compound fenders from flat sheet metal material. 

Auto Body Rotisserie

This is an important tool for any auto restoration shop. An auto body rotisserie can turn your vehicle 360 degrees. True auto restoration means removing body rot from places that are hard to find. The rotisserie eases the process of body repair and paint, while saving time and labor.
