This is a beefed up version of a Kansas Jack.

My father made this one over 50 yrs ago.

It pulled our El Camino cowl back into place very

nicely.

It was necessary to pull from several different points while

hammering the buckles and creases.

A bolt in the fender mounting hole now stands straight and

it lines up with the fender much better.

The spot welds in the flat area were pulled loose, they

have been drilled and tig welded.

They are also pulled loose here.

Front clip is starting to look a lot better.

Have replaced the bent up radiator support

with a straight used one.

The left fender is a bent up, welded up piece of junk.

Also the hood has a buckle on the right side.

Here is why it is so important to fit everything before doing

any body work, this fender mounting tab is bent down

and has gouged the door.

There may be other surprises before this is straightened out.

This could have cost a lot of time and materials later

in the project.
