Call me crazy,but fitting to the buck with the back and forth. Being able to see what you've accomplished is what I love most about metal shaping. And when it fits! The sweet satisfaction of clecos! Nice work...

This is a great series. I recognise how much effort it must take to put these videos together so much appreciate you sharing your techniques. I really wish I could try something like this. Like many talented folk, you make it look easy when I'm sure it isn't. Looking forward to the next episode.

My namesake, nice work. I've actually admired the Maserati 450S and thought about building one. Your build is similar in proportions and the steps you are doing will help to undertake such a project. Enjoying from Sydney 🇦🇺 .

Hi Chris. I can tell you're a young guy with a healthy back because I would definitely have that buck on some type of lift. Take care.

Informative and well done series of presentations! I am doing somewhat similar fabrication, 18 - 20 gauge steel, tig welding, no pullmax haha. I would greatly appreciate any comments you have on how you decide where to cut and make separate panels that are later welded together vs trying to make the whole compound shape in one sheet of metal. Thank you.

Kinda wondering why you don’t have the buck on a lift to save your back a bit on the lower panel fitment? Great information!

Wonder if hes built a car round the driver and luggage before making the car. Lemans style front with a shooting brake back. Looks fun to build and design.

At a certain point I understand you'll run into mechanical lock, where you can no longer get the body panels on/off the buck to double check fitment. Does it just become a measurements game at that point?

Жыл бұрын

Great question, As you’re moving through the shaping of each panel, confirming it’s as close to the buck as possible but also stepping back and looking at the overall flow… you have to finally decide if everything is satisfactory enough to weld together. At that point you’re committed and there’s not much turning back! Although, I have cut an entire welded clip apart to make adjustments 😅

@edwardtaylor4785 Жыл бұрын

Really great series!!! I particularly enjoy the explanation of your thought processes as you move from stage to stage. Just out of curiosity, what is the actual elapsed time for a panel like this? Once again, thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.

Жыл бұрын

This panel took 14 hours.

@edwardtaylor4785 Жыл бұрын

@ Thanks! So, in this case, roughly an hour of actual work for each minute of the video.

@dougstenger4085 Жыл бұрын

I love this series. Hopefully you will show later, how you attach the skin to the structure underneath. Question: how often do you have to replace the plastic thumbnail dies?

Жыл бұрын

Great input and question! If I had to estimate how many hours I get out of a set I would probably say around 200 actual working hours. That’s about 1.5 years worth of service with my builds.

The shrinking does are available from Stan Fulton metalworks In Illinois. Google the name/info and it will pop up. Tell him I sent ya!

@chriszucker7500 Жыл бұрын

Chris...curious, you started this lower panel thinking you would begin by stretching/blocking an area before you started shrinking. Yet, you ended up not doing that and went straight to shrinking and then used your wheel to blend and stretch. What did you see that changed your mind to omit the initial blocking operation?

Жыл бұрын

Great point, I believe my explanation for this got edited out. Here it is: Because the radius was fairly tight, I felt the shrinking was more favorable than blocking over the shotbag. In hindsight, the shrinking actually creates a challenge by forming a sort of hard shoulder (which I’ve talked about in earlier videos). In the end I think if I would have given it a little bit of crown by blocking that shoulder wouldn’t have been so pronounced and would have shaved off about 1/2 an hour of cleanup (and a little bit of panic!)

@RUNGECARS Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand that the intended path can change in this craft based on "the road conditions observed".
