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

On this episode of Make It Kustom, I try out my new shrinking discs from Wray Schelin's ProShaper Workshop. Along with my planishing hammer and hammer and dolly techniques, the highs and lows "equalize" with shrinking from the disc. This rare Willys hood is officially SAVED!

You've got the gift of great explanation that sets some instructional KZbinrs apart from the rest. Well done!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks a lot John I appreciate that

[@DougCook-hv3ps]

Great videos with great explanations!! You do great work and I’ve learned a ton from you. The thing I like the most of the 3 videos I’ve watched so far is you keep the language clean unlike other KZbinrs videos! Keep up the great work!!

[@0lddragracer426]

I love watching you kid...you understand what you're doing, and you easily make me understand it too. Thanks....keep up the good work.

[@MakeItKustom]

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! 🙌🏼😱

[@keithmaxwell2169]

I like that You Straighten the Metal and Not Just pack it full of Bondo, I have learned some New tricks from You Thanks Bud

[@keithrbrown8179]

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

[@user-tt3em9ep1h]

Thank you for the Demo on shrinking great info. I have some kinks in my roof of my 1955 210 chevy near the back of the car like someone sat on it. Great Job!

[@Photobombin]

It's been an amazing transformation watching where it started and where it's at. The biggest take away is time and patience. As always I appreciate the knowledge.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Erick! It’s definitely come a long way and I’m pretty happy with the results! Patience is definitely key haha. Thanks so much for watching!

[@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.

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.

@@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.

[@jimbayler4277]

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).

[@Jan2594tax441]

One of the best channels on KZbin! It’s crazy how guys with such talent and great teaching like you don’t get more views but just wanted to let you know I’m out here appreciating you putting the time into sharing this!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks so much for the wicked compliment!! We’re stoked you’re enjoying the channel so far. We just started this channel at the end of this April, so we’re really happy with how much it’s been gaining traction thanks to the help of some shoutouts from a couple great builders on here. Thanks for your support! Cheers!

[@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!

[@MakeItKustom]

I’ll pass that on man thank you!

[@roy2689]

Hi i'm certainly not an expert on body work, but I watched a whole load of Wray Schelin's videos and i'm almost certain he said to leave the marker pen on the panel as a lubricant and to help stop the shrinking disc from galling on the panel...

[@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.

[@73Shovelhead68]

[@PhillipBurnett-dk8fd]

What a great explanation of what's actually happening in the metal surface and to get an effective result. I'm not a pb so its great to see a master at work and the result.

[@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

I remember when those discs first came out. I think it was in the early '70's and one of the rodding mags did quite a favourable article and a demonstration by the inventor. It seemed to fall out of favour . Good to see they work well.

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 🤙🏼

Revisit Wray’s videos. He runs the disc on the marker as a lubricant to avoid sparks and galling. He just says that if you have too much marker it can prevent heat build up. He does not recommend running the disc on bare metal.
