DENT REPAIR: Using PROSHAPER'S Shrinking Discs!!! 1940 Willys Hood (Pt 3)

Thanks a lot John I appreciate that

Thanks again Michael I really appreciate that! I’m so glad that information is coming across well

[@troysgarage]

Watched the whole series, what an amazing transformation! Thought at the beginning there was NO WAY to save that hood! You are a skilled craftsman! Earned my sub! 🙌🏼😱

[@keithrbrown8179]

One of the better shows especially discussing hammer and dolly and torch shrinking. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesmann1243]

Your technique is beyond amazing. I used to know an old time body man, who worked for Raleigh Motor Sales, who used a home built " Slapper" exclusively , made also from a leaf spring, but his planishing hammer was all hand finished with specialty hammers. I am impressed with your skill and expertise.

Cheers from Canada! Thanks so much Andrew! I’m stoked with how much of it I was able to smooth back out

[@endoxr4]

@@MakeItKustom I was surprised too that planishing hammer you made is life saver and I bid on something similar but missed out on one but it wasn’t adjustable like yours. I just wish I’d of got into metal shaping 30 years back not when I was 48 2 years back old now takes much longer using hammers. Lol I’m hoping mrs buys me some metal shaping goodies soon for my 50th I can hope 😊

Great evolution of the operations in 3 parts! Skills +++. good for you with the ear protection dude!!! Nice work!

[@MrSloika]

I really appreciate these videos. A big difference from the usual Bondo artists I see on KZbin.

[@MakeItKustom]

Some use metal some use Bondo lol in the end they look the same though

[@MrSloika]

@@MakeItKustom I should elaborate a bit. I use Bondo as well. It's a fine product when used as intended. Unfortunately I see too many paint and body 'pros' use the stuff the wrong way. BTW, I'm very impressed with your skills. You're a very talented young guy. Lately I've been in slump, numerous projects not making any progress. Watching your vids had motivated me to get off my ass.

[@erbthatsright1103]

The shrinking disk will most definitely take out a golf ball size dent protruding out. Wray took a hammer to the inside of a NOS fender of mine from the 1960s and shrank it out with one pass with his 7” disc. I immediately bought his disk set at his class I was taking. Awesome tool he invented.

[@Zaranathax]

Not only is he a great panel beater but a great teacher too. And a shout out to the camera work too - she really knows how to show me what I want to see!

[@arthurrose6473]

I must say watching you triggers something deep down in many of us- to give so much of yourself thru almost a physical artistry of hard work- leaving behind a bit of yourself in what you recreated. We all need to do more things that are tangible reflections of our spirit. This said from an old retired flooring guy! You gave great tips for my project 1969 Sport Fury! Peace brother.

[@ronmoore3275]

Absolutely the best metal working channel on KZbin bar none. Most body guys wouldn't have the patience that you have and would have covered the piece in filler nor can they teach like you do. Great job! Keep up the great videos. Cheers!

A appreciate that you show a full range of techniques, from backyard beating to coach building, plus the shop built tools you use.

[@michaelkorolev2115]

I really enjoy all of your videos . They definitely help me . Even though I don’t practice enough. You said that your using a variable speed polisher for the shrinking disc. I took. Ken Sakamotos metal finishing class . Which is a excellent class .Ken is very good and a good teacher. He also invented the original shrinking disc. He taught me that you need 5000 rpm’s to run a shrinking disc. I metal finished a sun visor for a 53 Chevy that was dented all the way across and surface rusted. Using hammers Dollie’s, slapper and shrinking disc. I delivered it in raw metal . I used dykem and Kens serrated shrinking disc

[@adamrives6353]

My grandpa used to build hot rods in the 60s and 70s. He taught my dad a lot mechanically but he didn’t have the patience to pick up on the metal work. I’ve been told I have the patience of my grandpa and I’ve been thinking about picking up where he left off. I do fabrication on bigger stuff (I am a fabricator in the oil and gas industry). I really appreciate these videos (especially the 4 door to 2 door ‘55) and they have motivated me to start trying to find me an old project car. Keep up the good work brother 🤙🏼

[@adamrives6353]

I watched him heat shrink a cj2a hood for my dad and I was amazed 🤣 I was quite young then and he can’t really see these days so you are teaching me what I need to know 🤙🏼

[@justfloat1]

Wow, totally amazing, that hood was a mess now its ready to paint, good job!

[@maxfolio940]

Shrinking disc is amazing for oil canning and welding warpage too it seems. With just a few go's it took the canning right away from quarter panels and stiffened up the warped trunk lid from welding to be ready for bodyfiller. It is good for hobbyists like me, its easy to use for fast and effective result, I am not that good of a panel beater to do metal finish but it helps alot for those flat and floppy panels so that you can skimcoat with bodyfiller and it doesnt flop around when you sand it down. Takes practice and effort to metal finish for sure, but if you can live with few mm of filler then it makes this job real easy with this tool, definetly worth to have. Lifesaver on panels that you cannot get behind with dolly, as gas setup is way costly for hobbyists.

Funny you should be working be working on a Willys. My next door neighbor (older gentleman) has four Pre-WWII Willys Hotrods ('40 and '41 are the dates I remember). A Fire Engine Red one, a yellow one, a flat Black panel (truck/van ?), and one in his other garage that's still in parts, waiting for some attention. What little I can see of it under the piles of stuff, it still looks stock. He's got a couple of three buddies in the neighborhood that are also into Hotrods. I get treated to a mini-carshow from time to time. The guy down the block has a purple, open top, chopped Model T, wide rear tires. They're all classic Hotrod style, not Rat-Rods. My neighbor just came back from a show down near Bakersfield, CA. , and said his panel truck was a hit ( Yes, he did trailer it down there) You would approve of how he's detailed them out. Thanks for covering shrinking disks. I've been wondering about them for years. Useful to know (everything I own is dented, rusted, or both).

[@larrycluness5438]

I have one of these discs but it's the smaller 4 and a half inch size. The smaller grinder spins it faster so it's more aggressive and heats up the panel quicker then I used a very wet cloth straight out of a bucket so it quenched the heated panel quicker and encouraged shrinking. It seemed to work quite well, I used it to help smooth out a section on a rear quarter that I'd done some localised heat shrinking to help smooth out the resulting hammer marks. It certainly saved time to get to a stage where it was a thin skim with filler. I'd like to try the larger one you have as it should help to level out a larger area. Good video, I've just subscribed to your channel! A big thumbs up from the Shetland Isles at the far north of Scotland!

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s awesome Larry! I’ll have to try it with a grinder one day! Thanks so much for watching and keep up the awesome work!

[@tobygathergood4990]

The marker is acting as a guide coat. I LOVE that mobile planishing hammer! If I could afford one, I buy one for certain, it takes away hours of hammer and dolly work. I really don't like filler. If I absolutely have zero choice, I prefer to use lead, and very little of that. Mostly it's metal work. I also like the shrinking disc. I've read about them but didn't any opinion of paint and body men that I trust. You have quantified the dilemma for me in a positive manner. I appreciate that you pay so much attention to the metal work rather than skim coating an entire area and then "reshaping" it with a body file. I consider that to be very poor workmanship.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yeah I’ve tried a little bit of leading I like it but I still use filler if needed mostly a thin skim coat doesn’t bother me

[@tobygathergood4990]

@@MakeItKustom Some people like filler a little too much. I still have a '68 Mustang Fastback that I acquired years ago. When I looked at the right fender after getting it home I realised that there was damage there. I removed the inner fender and found a large dent fully 9 inches long, about 5" wide and 3" deep, totally filled with bondo. The "repair" had been done years ago but the bondo in the center was still slightly soft and smelled fresh. It took so long to cure that it eventually started to rust out the base metal underneath...Some peoples kids eh?

[@garymucher9590]

Not by any means saying you're doing the shrinking wrong, but I've watched others using the grinder shrinker disc and they use it 'til the metal gets very hot so when they spray the water on it, it steams off. That is what causes the shrink to take place. But since I have never used it myself, that is only what I've seen multiple time as others use it. IDK, just passing on how others use it... Thumbs Up for your channel.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yes it’s hard to tell that it’s steaming because I’m only concentrating on very small places during this. But believe me it’s getting hot and it’s definitely working. Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS]

@@MakeItKustom so I absolutely love your channel I’m just starting to teach on my channel as well but I thought I’d help in an area I’m proficient at. The shrinking disc needs to have a 6k rpm grinder to make it work like it should. If it’s higher than that it’s hard to control and if it’s lower it takes forever. Your description talking about the golf ball dent you can actually shrink even that down with it. Anyhow I hope that tid bit helps you keep up the great content 👍🏻

The marker also is used a a lubricant to keep it from gall the disk as well. . Wray uses a high speed grinder not a buffer to create heat quickly you need the heat from the high speed to move the metal and to cool it quickly with water or a very wet rag to shrink itback

So cool man. I work at a body shop and an old school guy used that shrinking disc on a door that was tin canny or really flexible. He ran that disc on the door and it popped right out. Guys who know how to shrink metal are so hard to find. People either wanna fill it or replace.
