Recommend tools for an auto body project

[decableguy2000]

Starting on a car rebuild that was crashed. Need some recommendations for auto body tools. This will be an on going project time and money coincide. Will have to cut and weld some panels. I already have grinders, welder, and most basic tools. Won't be painting any time soon.

Air belt file is excellent for cutting spot welds. Strikeable gasket scrapers work well for separating panels. Depending on severity you may want a port-a-power.

Give the scope of work and we can better recommend tools.

A painter's tool is great for separating body panels. I would also recommend some spot weld cutters and a center punch. The 3/8" belt file is a nice tool, but the one I got from Astro constantly throws its belt. If I were to do it again, I'd spend the extra cash for an electric one.

You can adjust the belt alignment with the screw on the side of the arm
