Re: 1947 Biederman Truck Fender repairs

Been tripping over the 8’ linear slide on the Lennox for the past couple months, time to knock out these Biederman skirts so we can break the linear slide down. This will likely be the last Metalshaping done on this machine before it goes out the door and the replacement comes in.



These two bends were done in the magnetic brake, the final fold for the U-shape is done in the Lennox using these dies..





Comparison



Here's the folding process...

Next we took them to a local machine shop, Triton Defense, to hem the U-shape. They used a knife blade in the press brake.



The only thing left for these is to fold the top flange for bolting to the underside of the cab, fit, and paint.
