Auto Body Replacement
Installing new auto body panels on a car is an inevitable part of most restorations. If you've fabricated fresh sheet metal or just need to put a replacement on that you've freshened up, then you will need the right tools and accessories to do it right. Eastwood's body panel installation supplies can be used for full-size panels or patch panels that are going on your latest steed. Back by four decades and counting of DIY knowledge, this equipment will give you secure, properly aligned results.
Body Panel Installation Kits
Get all the materials you need for repairs or replacements with one of our body panel kits. The Eastwood Panel Install Kit includes aluminized sheet metal, pliers and hardware for creating and attaching patch panels, while the separate auto patch panel kit has numerous raw panels that can be cut and formed as needed. A solid rivet kit is a complete solution for attaching full-size panels in a structurally sound way. We even have a no-weld repair kit for plugging small rust holes with minimal surface prep and filler.
Tools & Accessories
Your car will look like it was professionally assembled when you use the right body panel tools. Riveting is still the preferred method for securing thinner sheet metals, and we have many sizes of rivets and blind rivets plus the rivet guns to install them. Get an auto body flange tool for repairing flush panels or a combination flanger and hole punch that creates the rivet holes as well. With panel gap setting tools, plug welding tools, compression pliers, profile gauges and other equipment, there's no shortage of options for any new install.
Easy Body & Patch Panel Work
Just because you know you have to put new panels on doesn't mean it has to be hard. Eastwood wants everybody who does auto body panel work to have the strongest results without back-breaking effort. Call us, stop by one of our stores or pick up our how-to book for tips on doing first-rate body repairs.
When you're working with hot metal, an ordinary workshop table is apt to crash and burn under the pressure - sometimes literally. Eastwood welding tables and work stands are designed to handle the heavy loads and heat that are common with welding or plasma cutting projects. Made of heavy-gauge steel, ssthese welding benches have elevated work surfaces that you can set doors, fenders or hoods directly on while working. You'll be more comfortable and more effective than if you're slouched over on a concrete floor.
We carry several styles of welding tables for DIYers who need a good place to work. Eastwood has folding welding stands that store easily when not in use, adjustable welding tables that can be set at different angles and slatted plasma cutting tables that make it easy to clamp projects in place. Turn your fender stand into a welding workstation with a work stand welding top or get a fixturing set-up table for precision fabrication. In addition to the welding stands and accessories developed by our R&D guys, Eastwood also carries a number of CertiFlat modular fabrication table kits for projects of any size. Customer satisfaction is 100 percent guaranteed on all of our welding equipment.
