How I make a Torana 2 door door skin

On this episode I show you how I make a Torana 2 door door skin. Showing techniques on the power hammer, English wheel and hand shaping. This type or door skin is easier than you would think.

Absolutely fantastic, the number of panelbeaters who could do work of this calibre would be very few. Congratulations

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you

[@OzSafe1]

You do good work young man and I wish you the very best. I’m an old panel beater that restored some of the world’s rarest cars. They would ship what they had to us in Melbourne Australia and we had to work out the rest. In a lot of cases we made cars from photographs. All we had was an Oxy, a wheel, a roller, and a swagging machine. The rest of the machinery was a tree stump and a leather bag with sand in it. I just saw one of the cars I restored the other day went for $24million. I struggled to afford lunch building it. Hahahaha.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

That’s the case a lot of the time in this trade. Building a lot of amazing cars and not making a lot of $ keeping that passion is the most important thing. I love hearing from people who have restored cars. And thank you for tuning in on the videos.

[@OzSafe1]

@@Resurrected_metalshaping I went on to become a trade teacher so I'll be watching you, no pressure. Hahahaha. TBH I wish you had been one of my apprentices young man, I'd be very proud of you.

[@mikevanblommestein5726]

Wow !! That is as much art as it is panel work. Amazing skills

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you

[@DutchysGarage]

Nice work. While you call it relatively simple, it is still too hard for most people. Learning to do a door skin does look to be one of the easier ones to learn and it probably covers most of the basics of metal shaping. Wheel, shrinking, stretching, bending, hammer & dolly etc. Great videos. Keep it up.

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

When i was an apprentice back in late 70s the old guys then were the last that had done this as a normal thing, we learnt this technique at tech school but it wasn't something we did at work as replacement panels were readily available, making patch panels was about it, good to see some resurgence of old methods

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. It is a shame it’s no longer something you can do at a tech school. I always enjoy people going out of there way to learn old skills.

@@Resurrected_metalshaping either way it's rough on hands shoulders and elbows. It's pretty impressive. I had a chance to learn from impressive metal smith in my teen years and my parents wouldn't let me spend the time with him I'm 56 now and my pops is 91 and regrets it.

hez mate thoes hardened plastic blocks for the pulmax, what are thez called, were do u get them from. looked like thez worked realz well

Hey they are building packers. I get them from my local hard ware store. Bunnings if you are Aussie 15 or 20 mm wide.

[@bluejayfabrications2216]

I am probably telling you to suck eggs as i dont do body work besides on my own cars but do you know about polymorph Its a low temp 75c thermo plastic i have been playing with it useing it to make plastic dollys for straightening stainless steel trims I mix it in a cup with boiling water once its hot its like a mixture of clay and caramel i pour or form it over the section i want to recreate it makes a perfect mould/dolly and once it sets it as hard as a nylon or deralin block I don't have a pullmax or any profiling machinery but i image it would work perfectly for this process

If it’s pretty hard stuff I’m always open to trying new methods.
