It went surprisingly well&#8230;which always scares me.<\/p>\n<p>Here I laid out the inner sill according to Barney&#8217;s (Gaylord) dimensions and I used my digital 12&#8243; caliper to give me the dimensions which are in inches but in a 100th scale. This was absolutely the easiest way I had to matching the dimensions. These digital calipers are pretty inexpensive and give pretty good readings &#8211; way closer than I would ever need. I actually used it once to give me ball park measurements on a crank. I was able to lay out the inner sills and cut them to size and rough cut out the inner sill panels in 1 hour. I have had several email conversations with Barney Gaylord and I think I have my angles all sorted out. Good thing he has this nailed down solid because geometry wasn&#8217;t my best subject (ok it was my worst).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2567_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43934\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wow what a fun day. Everything went perfectly. I will say I did a lot of prep work for this to make sure I understood the angles and how to make them. Barney was able to easily answer my questions and point me in the right direction. Thanks Barney.<\/p>\n<p>I laid out the bend lines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2575_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43935\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And made a to size template to keep everything straight in my head.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2578_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43936\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I made the next bend.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2581_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43937\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2582_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43938\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With templates verified I was going in the right direction and I pretty much followed Barney&#8217;s write up paragraph for paragraph. I bent the flanges 8&#8243; at a time and measured them so I would have a nice straight and even bend. When you do this much bending on sheet metal it takes on a shape of its own and the flange bend straightens it out again.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2583_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43939\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2584_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43940\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I made the graduations for the twist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2585_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43941\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2586_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43942\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2587_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43943\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2589_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43944\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2590_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43945\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2591_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43946\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I laid out and cut out the inner panels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2594_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43947\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The punch and die for the big flanges.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2596_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43948\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I rolled the flanges and done!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PBP_IMG_2597_resized.jpg\" alt=\"Repair of the Inner Sill\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43949\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight is date night with the Mrs., so I nibbled away at the project right<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43933,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-restoration-play-by-play"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
