I will show to you how to shrink and stretch sheet metal with only simple tools. This is the episode 02 of Fixing Rust on my Ford Ranger where I will do metal shaping and body work with only a Hammer, Grinder, a Stick welding machine, some clamps and I lot of Thinking!

To shrink the sheet metal I will use the tucking fork technique that I learned from Make it Kustom Youtube Channel. And I also learned a lot from Fitzee's Fabrications Youtube channel. Those 2 guys showed me that you can do anything on sheet metal with simple tools. Thank you!
