Thanks Ron, I used to quench but i found it would build more tension and some times cause more harm than good. So i found letting it cool on its own would work the panel slower and in a more relaxed state that could still be easily corrected with a slapper and dolly as needed

Great to see a PRO Leaning from PRO! Your never too old to learn. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY🇺🇸

I am learning more from these videos than working in a shop. Some people are meant to teach and share their abilities. Well done

Cornfield,Ron covell and Lasse I think I spelled that right I've learned a ton from these guys and I've been doing sheetmetal for years these dudes have showed me tips that make my jobs at my shop way easier! Thanks for sharing your work men!

Awesome, thank you! I will have to send Karl a thank you message

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful

Awesome! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

thanks for watching and glad it was helpful for your projects

Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thanks man, extremely humbling the responses I have been getting about the channel lately. I greatly appreciate the support

Thanks for watching, check back in and let us all know once you try continuous tig seams

I am not pulsing, just controlling the heat to not blow through

Thanks for watching

Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching

Thanks for checking out the channel

Thanks for the kind words, I am very glad you are enjoying the content

It happens at every start and stop due to the heat variations. Its why i prefer one continuous weld

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it

Many thanks!

Thanks man

Thanks for watching

Thank you

Thank you and thanks for subscribing

Thanks 👍

Thanks i appreciate it

Thanks

I dont know, i would have to look at the time clock for that day and guess at what was just on that area of the roof.

Thank you very much!

i used the lennox reciprocating machine

There is a sign on the door that says by appointment only, no walk ins. Thats why i thought it may be an emergency the way they kept ringing the bell

it all comes down to specific applications

The same way it was originally, with a rubber gasket

Dude i hate it. especially when they are strutting their stuff as great metal work, but then hide all the greatness with random grinding patterns. lol

Not really. Any time heat is added it is going to shrink. The tension was caused by shrinking during to separate heat cycles stopping and starting at the stop of the weld. If you add more heat it will just shrink more and cause more warping that needs correcting.

It will be glass.

its one i got from MAC tools

@@cornfieldcustomsThx for the reply

Mine is spelled VIXEN but sure they are similar

@@cornfieldcustoms That was just me mis-spelling it. Apparently that brand is not made anymore.

Please post some links to your work so i can check it out

@@cornfieldcustoms Not trying to be critical you do amazing work. After thinking more about it the thickness of the flange would cause the cut to be short not long, my bad.

Nah, it doesnt really matter

unfortunately the nature of this work is repetitious

The factory lead seam is an eye sore and not needed since it was a solid weld joint. It was removed to look better and save on putting filler where it is not needed if removed. The car is a custom so between the chop and all the other custom metal work removing the seam is no big deal.

@@cornfieldcustoms I don't understand "eye sore" and "look better". If it is under the paint, it is not seen. Is this right ? Lead is used to smooth the body panels and become invisible. An I still missing something? -Doozer

yes your still missing something, but I dont think its something i can explain to you. I am the type of High level craftsman that takes the same amount of pride in the underlying metal work that will most likely never be seen as the outer finished painted surface. Its just the level I work at and my clients expect. I dont work by the mentality of when its body filled and painted it wont be seen so it doesnt matter. That mentality is how you get scabbed together over lapped mig welded, and packed full of filler custom cars, which I end up fixing a lot of times from other shops. Every step needs to be done to a high level before moving onto the next level. If you dont understand it, I cant help you understand.

@@cornfieldcustoms Thank you and that was a good explanation of where your mind is at. But you come off sounding a bit high and mighty. So let me say where my mind is at. We don't have to agree, but hear me out. The OEMs use lead in the factory. Or they used to. It lasted for ever. It was not a hack job. A seam is a seam, and lead was a way to produce two joined panels by spot welding 2 flanges and the lead finishes the surfaces of both panels together. It was easier than MIG welding and grinding and blending on the production line. And lead is real metal, just like steel is real metal. It is not Bondo or the like. It deal with temperature changes and plays well with the steel. No disadvantages there. Many high end restorations are done with lead. It is considered a premium thing, over plastic filler. Many see it as the real deal. Anyhow, you speak of your high level of craftsmanship. I think I get it. You have a mindset that the car body must be all steel and welded and ground and so on. I think you are creating something to sell to people. Something being a method of metalworking that you are selling as superior, to attract business. Well good on you for creating a demand and selling your services. For sure. But I think your head is a little in the clouds for looking down on using lead to smooth body panels. Maybe it is spot welded seam design that you think is inferior. Maybe because they are lapped panels, you think it will attract rust, or it is the easy way out to do body work. I will say, many OEMs build cars with lapped panels and they last for decades. I think you have built a tightly constructed fortress of what you consider good construction and good workmanship. That is fine. But you are missing out on more efficient and potentially better ways to do things. Life is not you against the world with a hard line way of interacting with it. It makes you tired and when you old, you look back on a life spend year upon year, with your energy spend defending the castle you have built. Lead and spot welds are not the enemy here. Don't be so harsh on them. ---Doozer

@@kooldoozer just move on dude. You still just dont get it. You are comparing apples to peanuts. I could care less how the rest of the world does it. I have my standards that i stick to. Dont like it or think i should do it different? Good for you, that opinion doesnt effect my life or the way i do things. Oem vs Coach built is different worlds. I guess this is what i get for “ Suffering fools gladly “

Thanks for watching and the feedback. sorry that i feel that there is a need to explain exactly what I am doing and thinking while I doing it to teach viewers. I have plenty of other videos were I dont talk at all, make sure to check them out.

Thanks man. Glad a few people are making it to the end
