I think it looks really cool in the bare aluminium especially with the matt and polished contrasts - I'm sure it will look great in paint too though, fab work!

@The_Cotswold_Engineer Ай бұрын

Absolutely outstanding again! A master craftsman at work, it's lovely to watch the way you manipulate the metal. Inspiring! And the car is looking superb 👌

Thanks Pete . Cheers for the kind words 👍

I’ve been in the motor trade most of my working life, 70 years old next February,but on the mechanical, side rather than bodywork/ fabrication, but I really enjoy watching your videos and hopefully learning from them, as I would say to apprentices… every day’s a school day, when you stop learning your dead 😂, thanks for your time and inspiration 👍👍🔨🔨

Greatly enjoyed, will be a stunning car. Would have been good seeing the video that didn't work to see how it didn't and wasn't working. Great looking homemade panel roller you made. Cheers Tom.

@@RR-mt2wp get what you mean but I really wasn’t worth my time editing it. I hardly make anything off the videos and all I wanted to do was just get on and put it right.

@RR-mt2wp Ай бұрын

@@Metal_shaper_tom I see what you mean, I never thought the amount of editing would drive me nuts. All the best, Tom I'll be looking forward to the next adventure bud.

@Metal_shaper_tom Ай бұрын

@@RR-mt2wp it’s about 10 hours editing per video plus all the extra time setting up the camera to film it all to make £15/20 per video. I definitely don’t do it for the money 😂 looking forward to the next steps!

Insane skill and dedication. I salute you. Can’t wait to see that car out and about at hillclimbs.??

Thanks Hopefully next year🤞

liking the panel delineation. Going forward, I think people would enjoy a more detailed video on different aspects. We don't see many top class builders, so getting inside knowledge is invaluable

I've got a job for you Tom. How about finishing of some of the panels at your day job so I can get on! 😊 All joking aside, fantastic work on the Austin and a pleasure to work along side you.

Speak to Dom Chinea regarding your next project. He needs help with his 356 restoration. Or Bryan Andrews I think that Bryan is planning on building a single seater ? I guess that it needs a body

@angusmackay7281 Ай бұрын

It seems a shame to paint this, Tom, can you not just polish it? I think it would look incredible. I love your channel, you're a real inspiration.

I not a fan of polished cars if I’m honest. Thank you for the kind words!

Beautiful job Tom - those are awesome skills that you have built up. As for the next project.... I have an Alfa 105 body shell that has been ruined by poor workmanship and would only benefit from a year or two of your weekends! 😏

The Bedford CA and CF vans had nice shapes but I reckon they're going to be more rare than an Austin 7 lol. MG or Triumph maybe. Something built on a separate chassis might be easier, more flexible in design

@paulfarrell-fs7tz Ай бұрын

Tom, great channel and great job. Your car is going to be so nice. I’ve recently saved an old Lagonda Saloon in pretty bad shape. Chassis, Alloy and Leather can be saved and I intend to save the interesting chassis and try and use as much of the WW2 surplus alloy on a Special. What’s your thoughts on recycling 40’s Aluminium. Can it be flattened into pieces of sheet mechanically or adapted on a wheel?
