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

[@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! 🙌🏼😱

[@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!!

[@keithrbrown8179]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@72monte61]

My favorite new KZbin channel, really enjoying learning your process ! Thank you !

[@MakeItKustom]

Wicked!! We’re stoked! Thanks so much for checking us out and for the kind words 👊🏼

[@mattluszczak8095]

Dude you and the channel are a gift to us!!! Thankyou

[@chingo_mandinguez]

Great channel and info. I'm glad to see everyone commenting and appreciating the hard work you're doing, not to mention the filming, editing, and actually knowing how to explain the processes you use.

[@owenlambert6201]

Great 3 part series. Your way of explaining is so laid back and easy to understand. I gonna try some of that on my guard (fender) to get some rough ass dents out. Without a fancy planishing hammer. Sweet content keep them coming.

[@steves7896]

This was just impressive! Shrinking discs, learn something new everyday. Thank you for sharing!!

[@MakeItKustom]

Great to hear you’re leaning something new. These are a game changer

[@Spodokamono]

Incredible work 👏 These three episodes have been awesome.

[@martychrisenberry408]

You do absolutely amazing work! Can't wait for more video's! I've already learned something that I can use! Thanks!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks so much Marty! Happy to hear you’re finding it helpful!

[@anthonyraffin1034]

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

[@hilohotrods]

It's great to see that you are so good at an almost lost art! Keep up the great work and thanks for videos that can be used to teach!!!

[@MakeItKustom]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching and supporting! Love this craft I am constantly learning

[@tomcoryell]

Hey man! Thanks for all of your hard work! I’ve learned a lot from you. Great camera work as well. You make a great team!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks so much man couldn’t do it without her! It’s hard work but we love it so it’s not work at all

[@Thatfordtractorguy]

Just took the dive into body work on vintage cars, been a fabricator and welder most my adult life. Love these videos! catching up on this channel for days. Keep um going!

[@2732hill]

This is great content! I watched every second of all three of these videos for this hood! Great work and craftsmanship

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@robinenglund9553]

Love this channel, awesome work and a true teacher, and a true CRAFTSMAN

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks so much Robin!

[@xr6turbo511]

Amazing way you teach. I haven't seen anyone teach like you! Keep up the great work.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate that!

[@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.

[@MTonyT1978]

I like this series! I have been using the tips and tricks you show and I have been doing it on my Austin mini hood. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents!

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s so awesome Michael! I’m so stoked you find it helpful. You’re doing such a wicked job on your mini. I can’t believe you’re only 15!! You’re killing it!

[@keithlanning7381]

I really enjoy your videos and i am just trying to share and be helpful not critical. Thank you for all you share with us!

[@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!

[@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.

[@rogeriolisto]

Superb work for both of you. Thank you

[@MakeItKustom]

You’re very welcome thanks for watching!

[@flatworm00]

Great video! I really like the way you explain it.

[@lt.columbo5919]

Great series of vids...I'm learning a lot and it is impressive to see the transformation. Nicely done.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man glad you’re learning something! Thanks for watching cheers

[@Andrew-qo6br]

You are a very good teacher and you explain in simple terms what you are doing and why. Great job, thank you.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks Andrew you’re more than welcome I appreciate you!

[@danielsharon524]

Amazing transformation. Watched parts 1 & 3. Need to go back & watch part 2. Makes me confident w/some upcoming work. I'm good @ sheetmetal fabricatuon/panel replacement but not so practiced @ metal bumping & what I have to do is so much easier than what you did. Subscribed.

[@BD-hy8bl]

You both are great team. Tons of patience, front and behind the camera. Keep up the great channel!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you! I love working with my wife

[@TheAutoSocietyNY]

That metal work was amazing. Old school and that is not seen anymore. Great job!!!!

Wray sure makes shrinking seem easy. I never doubted Wray, but your demo confirms it again. You both are geniuses. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@MakeItKustom]

Wow, thanks Joel! That’s cool of you to say. Appreciate it man! 😎😎

[@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!

[@rogermontee8264]

You have an amazing way describing how to do things the right way to fix things.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thank you! I’m glad the information is coming across well

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

Superb, thanks. Exactly what I needed to help with my repair

[@TheDavy609]

Bro you are a master teacher!! Thank you!

[@praetorious]

This video series has been really inspirational. I used what I learned to get some dents out of panels in my car. Remove 1/2" of filler from the rear valance, which looks like oatmeal with a tonne of dents, but i'm hoping I can get me a slapper and try out these techniques on it! Keep it up and keep em coming!

[@MakeItKustom]

That’s so rad!! I love hearing that these videos are helping people with their projects! Thanks so much for watching, and keep up the awesome work!

[@buchananautosalesllc7855]

Im in the process of replacing the other door skin on my 82 c10, the advice you gave in one of videos on hammer and dollie really helped on getting the flange bent back over the inner structure.

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks for the feedback man I’m so happy to hear that you could use some of the information in the video!

[@craignmz5264]

Awesome channel and skill! I have 3 projects you have inspired me to get busy on. I haven’t done any bodywork in 35 years but that’s going to change as my Jeeps and a square body Chevy need attention!

[@justfloat1]

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

[@eddss123]

Thanks for the videos. Helped me understand the work. Using it on my 54 belair build

[@MakeItKustom]

Amazing!! Stoked we could help you with your build! Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@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.

[@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!

@@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 😊

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
