[Chevelle-list] '66 roof body work

[Brad Waller]

Good explanation of oil canning.  And yes, when I was a kid I always helped
my dad by inserting the spout into the oil cans.  We also have an old rotary
phone in an alcove in the hallway, but our house was built in the 40's and
the phone is close to the right vintage.  In fact, when we remodeled we had
them move the alcove to the other side of the hall so we could keep the
feature.

It's a shallow dent in the metal that will 'pop' in and out where the metal
stretched just enough. The name refers to the old metal lidded oil cans that
would do the same thing when you squeezed the sides. Does anyone remember
the old oil cans that you had to have a spout for? What about rotary phones?
God I feel old.
