What are the ph levels of the acids you are using?

I buy muriatic acid for my hot tubs....now I know.

Very useful video, I'm just starting out. Thanks

I'll never forget stumbling upon this man's shop while out at a local race track. I destroyed myself day one, and I could not get a replacement rearset for the bike so I would not miss day two, so I brought the crumbled aluminum to him that afternoon after a brief phone call. Thanks to him, I was able to zip tie the rest of the bike together that night and throw the crucial repaired component on the bike. The track marshalls said that was a first time they've seen someone repair an aluminum rearset this way and they couldn't believe how strong it was when performing safety checks. Needless to say, this man is a master of his craft second to none. He allowed to walk around the shop and admire all things in it. What a treat that was. Thank you for the help that day, sir!

Nice video sir! I’ve used the naval jelly on wheels before and it worked great. I’ve also used vinegar as an immersion type rust remover for parts. Works really well.

That hammered and crinkled unrolled part kind of looks sweet for a ratty chopper build.

Whère are you??

Wray are you ok... haven't seen a video for a bit ...hope you're ok

Vaugely remember these were based on a VW floorpan? Not sure as these had a shorter wheelbase.

Good

Thank you so much, this video is helping me a lot, thanks and have a blessed day.

Any updates on the rust removal process ?

What are the thickness of the sheets?

Hope I’m correct on your name I want to personally thank you Ray for Sharing your knowledge👍🏼

I wish I could be doing this stuff. I don’t have a garage and have never banged on metal but it’s very interesting to me.

whos Mak? lmao

Wray I’ve been watching your videos for 3 or 4 years and revisit. I’ve used your techniques repairing my series 3 E left wing which crushed in 1.5” and looked like a bag of walnuts. After 75 to 80 hours the wheel arch is where it needs to be and a skim coat of glazing putty to finish it off. Love the shrinking disc. Miss new content.

After total of 19 years in testing work big trucks and 2 yrs in welding and metal strength this is a good video

🙏❤️💐🌺

Hi Wray, need some new videos Buddy! Hope all is well.

This is magic. It's like watching a car from the past coming to life in real time. It's kinda like "Superleggera". Many thanx Wray 👍👍

👍👍

Always do what works for you, of course But if one of my customers came in and saw me making sweet love to their rusty fender they would lose their minds! Sandblasting definitely has its good points and bad points A fender like that can easily be sandblasted with no risk of damage, in about 10 minutes or so

If you could build the scout 80/800 rear taillight caps you’d do well selling nobody makes them and used ones are sell for 1500 up seen some sites 2300 lol

Wow great skills

Hey Wray just wanted to say this is a great series. I am looking forward to the next episode! J

When is the next part coming out?

would making a temp buck out of cardboard help with the formation of the wire form?

If this guy work the same amount he talks man he can get a lot done

Im fixing a 1974 CB750 Honda tank. I had a good shell but bottom was rotted. Got a second tank with a good bottom. Split both, welded good halves together. BUT, im in Florida and the humidity rusted the outside of the shell. I use muriatic to get rust out of the inside , now i know i can save the outside as well. Thank you. Oh, im from Nashua, NH, so i love the accent.

So no work hardening?

Hi Wray, We're concerned about you. We haven't seen any CZcams videos from you for the past two months. Is everything alright? We miss you !

Interesting, thank you! I am gas welding an aluminium bodied car I am making and am finding it's not easy. I find the only way to get good consistent penetration is to go from both sides. And I end up with really lumpy welds that need a lot of grinding but the welds are good then. I need to be quicker with my dipping or use thinner rods maybe? I also find not fluxing the rod but dipping it into the powder works well for me, I think because it gives me that pause with the torch to control the heat. The problem for us amateurs is something you mentioned in your film - you can get good if you do it every day! As a hobbyist, this is my second aluminium car and probably my last so I will never get enough practice in to be expert. I find that frustrating but have learned to settle for 'good enough' for my needs! I will have to try those Norton discs. I have been using a large flap disc on and angle grinder to know the tops off then flap discs on an air grinder and they work quite well. I also use wax rubbed on them to stop the clogging. On the outside I can then body file everything smooth.

Like you said ray, the top wheel is wide to make it idiot proof 😂and you also said you wouldn’t change back to the narrower top wheel! Think about it 🤔

This is very interesting because of course the E Type wasn't designed to have panels hand made, as they were mass produced steel stampings. I'd imagine that there's quite a lot of detail in a steel stamping design that is very diffecult to reproduce in a hand made alluminium panel.

woah!! I have never seen this done before, my mind is blown!

THE END !

Raising lows by on-dolly slapping/hammering works great, but I can't explain why! It's counterintuitive that hammering or slapping on-dolly in a low area would raise the low area. The low area is stretched as the result of some accident, and hammer/slapper on-dolly only stretches it further! I'd think that we'd end up with more stretching after the on-dolly work? Perhaps that is exactly what happens, which is why we follow up by shrinking with the shrinking disk?

Anything on here about that required ground rod needed to operate the AC tig settings when ones work bench is a chunk of left over 4' x 33" osb board 13/32" thick lol. On steel saw horses on a concrete slab. Yes the machine is grounded. The work must be grounded according to the book so i called to HF technical support by pushing #2 and then #2 finally got a real person on the phone and he didn't answer about the required ground or concerns of a man working in the same facility with a pace maker in his chest.

Ray, what contour is that lower wheel? I have one of those wheels but it only came with one #3 die. I've since made a flat one

Craftsmanship: 100/100 Music:WTF/100

Your hands probably look like mine

Agreed, on the music. Totally unwatchable video, useless without comentary. We aren't all 'merican hick red necks ya know. Some of us like Mozart. This music sounds like mental illness to me.

Thank you very much Ray, much appreciated..❗ As a 78 year old retired Arch'/ Eng' having done Production Eng' in Specialised Steel Strip & now Bladesmithing, I find your Video most informative and very professionally presented ❗🤔 Shalowm ❗🙇‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇿🇦

Same.

Great Video! Thanks for the safety tips when using acid to remove rust!

Have you ever tried oven cleaner? It works pretty good!

Good demonstration, except you really should use PPE. Don't just say, do.
