I made this some years ago when I was repairing my 66 superminx estate.  No longer got it  Thought it might prove useful to you guys doing bodywork.
Find yourself a decent 4 inch door hinge weld two strips of the same gauge
metal that you want to joddle,one to the outside edge of the hinge and the other to the edge on the opposite side nearest the centre. put it in the vice and drop the sheet in ,squeeze it up and Bobs your Uncle 
" oh and leave a gap between the two stripps when the hinge is closed of about 2 mm"..

That's clever Paul.
For those that don't know, a joddler puts a step in the edge of a body panel so you can overlap it with another panel to create a nice joint when the panels are welded together, rather than just butt welding them. I always fancied buying one just so I can say I've got a left handed joddler.  Smiley

In a frenzied bout of Spring cleaning, we've now added this to the tech section of the Motors, 4 wheels part of the website. Many more how-to threads will be shamelessly stolen & added to the main site in the coming weeks.
Thanks Paul.  Wink
