A GREAT mini-metal lesson! Beginning metal shapers often shrink when
stretching is necessary. Here Mark Gerisch leads us through his
throught process while fabbing a panel for a Shelby 427 Cobra in
aluminum at his Academy for the Art of Metal Shaping. His students
learn on modern power hammers. www.aametalshaping.com

Finding out the dies used explains how the metal moves. I had trouble knowing from the side view. Great instruction.👍🇺🇸🤙😃

I have seen a fiberglass cobra with a 351 windsor for 7000. Even a hand fabricated steel body has to be worth $100,000

What? "easier"....first off there more grades of "aluminum " than I have time to get into here and admittedly 90 percent of my business is aircraft related therefore I am more familiar with aluminum alloys than ferrous metals. There some aspects that do make aluminum easier to form and shape but overall ferrous metals are much easier.
