Hand Shaping a Simple Aluminium Hood | Cardboard Template Technique - Hot Rod Build!

[@ericargo9157]

Love it. Something about the words Jalopy, Aluminum, Aircraft Rivets and Louvers that gets me every time. Well done Jordan.

[@mopar4656]

I never miss Lee's videos, much the same as I never miss yours. A lot of excellent stuff seems to come from Canada.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Great people haha

[@ivanolsen8596]

Top job Jordy, really adds to Rexy's rocket. Seeing that carton of lunatic soup near the scales at the beginning brought back memories of nasty encounters with the contents!

[@charlietabone6162]

Good to see you don't try covering up your mistakes you're naturally smart enough to know you don't have to hide nothing

[@bennettscustomsco]

No hiding here!

[@stugillett6646]

Jord, somebody once told me that the difference between an enthusiast and a craftsman is the craftsman knows how to hide his mistakes and the the fix is usually an improvement on the original plan. You are definitely a craftsman! Well done boyo.😊

[@larryreece1403]

Taking out your frustrations when things go wrong can be very satisfying. It doesn't "Fix" the issue but it feels better! Thanks for being honest! I got my Sweatshirt and key fob. Thanks for all you do.

[@joecioe8566]

Two wrongs make a right. came out really nice great job Jordan. Looking forward to the race car on the track again.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Joe. Always better the second time haha

[@tomfortson5147]

Hey Jordan, I'm really impressed with your results on Rex's hood. IMHO, so what that you had a failure on the first hood. You LEARNED! And in so doing, you TAUGHT US what to look for. The hood is spectacular! And the way you added the bracing channels on the edges with those rivets really looks intentional. And I think that your result is better than it would have looked had you followed the true cut line. It looks so good, that you might want to repeat on future hoods.

[@murdoc6501]

Besides your artistry, love the honesty and integrity. I am no fab man, but I have left a boot print on a failed patch panel for my 46 and had to start fresh the next day! Admire your work, and the tutorials are some of the best. Awesome hood. Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward! We'll be watching!

[@gregjobson4844]

Nice work on putting the louvres in Jordan I bet it was beer o'clock after you finished !, as others have mentioned a 200 x 50mm poly urethane pallet truck front wheel can easily be fitted to most English wheels for about $60 instead of the PU band. Tell Rex to keep an eye on the "pleather" straps they tend crack and tear. Cheers Greg

[@bennettscustomsco]

I think they already have and replaced them with leather haha

[@motorv8N]

Great job and love the honest assessment of progress, setbacks, and solutions.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you!

Many years ago I was a sales manager of a body shop with no previous experience in the business. One day our lead painter came to me and said; “I need you to look at something and give me your opinion”. My reply was, “you don’t need my opinion as to if it’s “good enough…because you already know it isn’t”. I’ve noticed some similarities in the mutual trait we have of listening to the little voices in our heads that whisper: “No one else will probably notice, but I’m not happy with that.” You have gone far Pilgrim!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Gary!

[@rodschweiger4195]

Love your videos, with background music I can actually enjoy listening to. ❤

[@darylthexton2287]

Another awesome piece of bennetts customs work!. Great job!

[@daleking8529]

Super job on the hood! Really nice detail with the rivets too!! Always enjoy your videos! Take care!

[@paulblack2402]

Beautiful job , Well done Jordan.!!

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks for watching

[@glennstatham960]

I like the Bennetts stamp! A guy I follow on a channel, Bellos Kustoms does very Cali-style lowrider kustoms..very different to your builds, but also stamps his kustom pieces. I like that!

[@bennettscustomsco]

Yeah Bellos is great, well rounded talented man too and always great videos!

[@jean-robertbourbonnais6279]

AWESOME CRAFTSMANSHIP and learning curve !!! 😎👍👍

[@johnkranz4004]

Real nice job Jordan looks Great

[@geanblaylock]

Always great to watch your work!!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome job. It looks really good.

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thank you!

[@polosavage1]

It's almost like this is the first hood you have made, I love the boot print on the first one

[@bennettscustomsco]

Always better the second time

[@outlawrodcustoms4032]

Hare And Forbes have the orange bands for the upper wheel. They work a treat and they don't roll off

[@bennettscustomsco]

That’s the one I had trouble with- I’ll give it another shot

[@outlawrodcustoms4032]

@@bennettscustomsco wow really, mine has worked perfectly . Not that I use the hand much anyway but when I did it was great.

[@rodneymoore2154]

Great work and good for you at getting your frustration out that way . I do the same thing and it helps so much to teach myself to try a new way and to get it to work the problem out great shop

[@hqlion]

Nice work and a great video. Thank you.

[@ryankohlhoff6653]

Skateboard wheel smoothed out

[@denny75t]

Very refined and tasteful work!🙂

[@kenstevens5675]

Looks great.

[@marianobuceta3188]

Espectacular trabajo!!!!

[@JohnHancock-sr4ri]

Saw somebody using a pneumatic tire on the English wheel to get 2 dimension shape. Theirs had tread on it so t don’t know if it would make a difference with no backing with the voids. Change air pressure or solid tire may make a difference. Don’t have an English wheel so can’t experiment. Tell Karl so he can give opinion. Love watching you guys! Keep it coming!

[@williamwood1176]

I use a pneumatic tyre, it definitely works good. different pressures for different materials. Got the idea from Invision Prototypes.

[@garycamara9955]

When I made the hood for my buddies cat I made a template from posterboard the copied it onto aluminum sheet . Then I bent it around the round post that held up his deck.

[@StevenStratford]

Gorgeous car

[@timr.3108]

The rivitts down the edges turned out to be really a nice touch. Do you think that those belts can be tightened enough to eliminate any flutter at high speeds?

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

Nice work sir - I always enjoy your work - RUBBER BAND ON THE WHEEL - I will be honest and I have zero experience with this, however, I used to be a bike mechanic (pushbike) and when ever we had to change a set of handle bar grips we would spray some WD40 between the grip and the bar and the grips would come straight off - however, when it comes to refitting new grips you cannot just slide them on as they were too tight and you cant use lube as they would never grip, so a trick most bike mechanics use is hair spray - it lubes enough to slide the grips on and then sticks and won't come off again unless you use WD40. as I say I have no idea if this will work with the band on the wheel but I would love to know if it does - again keep up the good work as it is genuinely inspirational. Kevin

[@guypehaim1080]

I think the best look would be if you slope the bottom edges of the hood at the same angle as the center of the hood. Are you going to hinge the center like the original hood?

[@bennettscustomsco]

She’s all done, the way we finished it here is how he wanted it, maybe another one in the future- the hinge idea is cool

[@chriskeiper7117]

I have the same T shirt from LGK. He also has a really good channel.

[@benniecantrell6901]

job on the hood looks great , What kind of stain did you use on it?

[@thomasking2081]

HI JORDAN, GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL. LOVE THE RIVETS ON THE EDGE OF THAT HOOD. FIRST TIME SEEING TAPE BEING USED ON THE E-WHEEL, IS THAT JUST MASKING TAPE & HOW MANY LAYERS DO YOU PUT ON? THANKS

[@matthewk9563]

How much does it cost to have a hood formed. It looks like a 6+ hour shop project. Is that a 900 dollar hood? Or more like 1500?

[@bennettscustomsco]

It’s free. But yes if you paid for it, handmade is never cheap

[@frankxerri1564]

What grade of aluminium do you use Jordan?

[@wagin8]

Y assess first to coment now back to the show✌😃✌

[@jackiemay9471]

can you get a wheel for a trolly that has rubber or poly bonded to it to replace having to try to keep a rubber band on the wheel or castor small inflatable wheel and tyre just a thought have a look ai INVision prototypes 9 days ago

[@frankmouskovias8921]

you beat me to it, nick uses a pneumatic wheel, sems to work well,

[@bennettscustomsco]

Thanks Jack. Ordered one a while back hasn’t showed up yet. Snail mail

It's 'aluminium' mate . . . we speak English in Australia

I am the back words man

Don't worry mate, Aussies get a laugh from many things the Americans get up to
