Hi all,

A friend gave me a while back a box with old bodywork tools.I know most of them, but I have no idea of the use of this one.
Do some of you have any idea what is the use of it?
It weights a lot!

might be hand made. My arm and shoulder would be screaming holding that thing behind a panel.

That's an old Porter Ferguson GD-4 made for getting into the lip around wheel arches on fenders. They're quite old, a bit hard to find, and bring decent money when they do sell. I'm still looking to add one to my collection. If you were here in the US I'd probably be sending you a pm right now with an offer to purchase it instead of typing this. Good score! Post some pics of the rest of the stuff!

We have a thread, Tools of the Trade: Collision Repair. It would be great if you added your pics to it. Here's a link....

Thanks! I always wonder what kind of use this dolly was design for. I received several others old dolly and even a well beat up copper hammer in the same box.
I only have this photo with some of my bodywork tools, but I will take some of the older one this week and post them here.
