After doing the Jaguar E-type bonnet I decided that some people may like to see whole sections being shaping in a much shorter amount of time. So I grabbed episodes 1-5 of the bonnet build and sped them up, so you can now watch the whole section being built in 25 minutes. You're welcome!

@gearhed78 4 жыл бұрын

What's really cool about this format is that you can really grasp all of the steps as a whole. All of the explanation on the other videos lets you know the general technique but fast forwarding makes it make more sense somehow. You guys have to do more of these! Especially if you have mirrored parts. Explain one and speed up the second. There is something there for sure. Oh and you get both crowds. Instant gratification crowd and the guys that want all the gritty details (like me).

What an old school master. With a huge shop full of machines it comes down to using your hands. I must say there are other ways of doing this much easier by making fiberglass splashes of the parts you want, then hammer forming them into place. A once over with the wheel to planish them and you’re done. I will say we owe you some gratitude for showing us the old tried and true traditional way. Nice work!

This isn't "Old School"... It's the ONLY school for shaping metal. People love throwing that term around. It's annoying. Not everything has a "The way it used to be done, compared to how it's currently done" train of thought. It's still THE way. Yeah... I'm being a dick!

This might be off topic and maybe you already know this trick but I'm a sign painter and we use something called a 'Pounce Pad' and a 'Pounce Wheel'. The wheel looks like a tiny cowboy boot spur that pokes little holes in your tape template, so you would trace your layout lines in your pattern with it, then the pad is full of chalk that you dab over your pattern to transfer your line via tiny chalk dots that go through the pattern on to your work piece. Once you have the chalk dots on there you can connect the chalk dots with a sharpy. You've been doing this since Noah was a cabin boy so you're probably familiar but it might help someone. Also I love the sped up videos, I watch all the others too but the quick ones are good for my friends with extremely extremely short attention spanss who hit a piece of metal stretching the Christ out of it then keep hitting it the same way thinking it will shrink if they hit it enough times.

This is very interesting because of course the E Type wasn't designed to have panels hand made, as they were mass produced steel stampings. I'd imagine that there's quite a lot of detail in a steel stamping design that is very diffecult to reproduce in a hand made alluminium panel.

Hi wray luv the show most old trades and skills are a dying art form which when lost we cant get back ,i was wondering what thikness material you use in alloy and steal to make car body panels stay safe and god bless.

@proshaper 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Les, Glad you are enjoying the channel. When using steel you can use 20 gauge ( .035" strong enough easy to shape but on the light side) 19 gauge ( .040" excellent and the best choice, most often used on original stamped panels strong and still easy to shape) 18 gauge (.045" excellent superior dent resistance but harder to shape.) With aluminum you have .040" shapes very easy but has minimal dent resistance. .050" shapes easy has better dent resistance. .060" shapes with more effort and has excellent dent resistance- the preferred thickness.

Hi Wray :Hope your Christmas was very good and thanks for the postings on KZfaq they are enlightening and stir the interest of creation . I have been looking closely at your flexible shape pattern. At anytime does the tape do a cross hatch affect with the glass tape "or" are you overlapping closely layering the glass tape and how close ? I want to do this on a project but don't want to waste material in the Genesis of my project . Just wondering is your blacked thumb nail from what was called at on time a Garand Thumb or from the from the English wheel? Thanks Dan R.

@proshaper 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dan, The low stick layer of tape goes on first. You lay it done so it goes over the shape easy. Any overlapping you carefully cut out and remove. The second layer is the fiberglass reinforced tape. You can run it the same way as the low stick or 90, or 45 degrees to the low stick layer. Overlap the fiberglass reinforced tape by at least 1/4". I sell the best tapes for the job at my website www.proshaper.com. I squeezed my fingernail on the jump shear safety hold-down . It hurt for ten minutes.

@proshaper 4 жыл бұрын

@@LaredoHandyman How much gets "charged" for anything depends on your cost structure. Countries that have low wage rates and cost of living have tremendous advantages when a labor intensive item like a hand made aluminum bonnet is made. Also specialists that make those items over and over and have developed specialized tooling to help production also have an advantage. Currently the price range of one of these hand made bonnets runs from $6500.00 to $14000.00 plus shipping costs. Quality level is super important from the purchasers perspective, because the "purchase price" might be a bargain, but post purchase corrective costs might be more than was bargained for. I will never enter the business of "building hand made aluminum E-Type aluminum bonnets". I'll let that opportunity stay with the current producers.
