Hi Wray!! Love this stuff!!

[@cowfrank]

I've been working with metal for 50 years, but I'm totally impressed.

[@proshaper]

I have 59 years experience in collector cars, started when I was 12 working at my grandfather's restoration shop working on J Duesenbergs.

Thank to the editor for the speedup during the boring long runs. Makes it far more data wise for those on metered data plans.

[@DavidGuyton]

porsche and the "unmentioned inventor" is an interesting story! brandnames in this contxt: tatra,steyr,porsche and, in a postive way, daimler. names are porsche,ledwinka and bela barenyi, the later being more or less inventor of active and passive carsafety. If one connects the lifelines of these persons, there are interesting facts to be found😊 ....and your lesson? ...your the best teacher in panelbeating I know and you keep me holding on on my own project(s)... thank you for these FREE offers, incredible!!!!

[@rwcarrinvestmentco.3167]

Great video. Lots of techniques taught there. Question: Is the headlight circle a flat plane? If so, could the caulking tool hit the panel over a flat top bench vs a beater bag?

[@proshaper]

Yes, whatever way delivers a good end result is valid.

[@afterhoursfab]

Great video, thanks

[@tomthompson7400]

at 3:40 , was the little black wheel in the background ever available as plans , or a kit ,, its really handy looking . A long video , but there is so much information in this , has to be one of the best videos so far , but Im really looking forwards to the next one, the reverse curve shrink has to be dramatic as far as the area change goes.

[@proshaper]

I sell the correct tapes on my website www.proshaper.com

How do they clamp to the full-surface hardwood buck?

[@proshaper]

I believe they annealed the aluminum, hammered it against the hardwood full surface then smoothed it out with an English wheel. To get a finished panel they would have to go through that cycle several times.

[@СемёнОрсет]

@@proshaper Thank you! Watching this whole sucsession of 550 now. Makes me wonder, how alike the two sides are going to be? Those are some very complex parts.

[@therealspixycat]

Would annealing make the rest of the forming a lot easier? Before or after you put it through the English wheel? You never annealed I think any panel of the hood of the Jaguar neither

[@proshaper]

Maybe I will anneal the right side panel.

[@therealspixycat]

@@proshaper or the (extreme) reverse curve

[@forthwithtx5852]

Just checked. Brian Tanti hasn’t posted a video in two years. Didn’t see much in the way of how-to. Mostly visiting car shows. Anyway, enjoying your particular content.
