In this video Chris Runge demonstrates the process in shaping, gas welding and polishing aluminum. Beginning with pattern making each step is explained in making two halves and forming them on the English wheel and Pullmax. Then the two halves are gas welded using Oxygen and Acetylene and finally finished to a mirrored polish. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
No loud music in the background, no shop drama. Fantastic.

KC Maxx it’s me the big black dude who saw your car out in outter phoenix airport race! I remember you telling me about the two motors, this thing is super cool
That car is insane. Absolutely a work of art. And I love that you gas weld. I thought you tig’d everything.
Sir, why would you show us such amazingness when we won’t be able to stop ourself from trying to make stuff like you lol?
Your finishing work is awesome.
Blown away. Amazing how organic and intuitive the process is while maintaining precision and tolerance. It’s art!
Wow tricks of the trade, thank you for your time! Do you ever sit there and steer at your work? I don’t know how you wouldnt
The most valuable lesson I've taken from your metal modeling videos is that these techniques are directly applicable to anything anyone would want to custom fabricate by hand. Thank you!
As an old 356 guy I really appreciate what you're doing and as a retired welder I'm quite impressed with your method of welding aluminum.Though I'll never be able to afford any of your creations I will buy one of those shirts and wear it proudly!You have what may be the most interesting channel of them all,please keep the content coming and thanks for sharing with us!
Honestly incredible skills, especially for someone so young. Truly impressive!
Thank you for sharing, your lessons are invaluable. :)
Absolutely it was hard to find a video like this
I came across this page during the great quarantine of 2020. Being self thought, I'm blown away by your skills. You a major inspiration to trades people everywhere.
Nice teaching method and great quality work .
I try getting our apprentice's to watch you channel .
But unfortunately they watch that clown 🤡 bad chad.
Which I now understand as they are learning how not to do it .
Chris your work is excellent as is your teaching .
Incredible work like always! Thank you for posting this video.
Purely awesome handmade work ! Beautiful !
Wow! Just amazing craftsmanship.
Awesome work! Really enjoy how you explain your approach to each step!
some times you really do wander how that's even possible, and i really just can't even imagine the skill set and the visualizing that you have to be able to do this, that's more than gifted
I can see your channel will blow up in the future. Your work is just amazing.
You make this stuff look easy... fascinating to watch!
A self-taught master. Impressive work
Nice work! Thanks for taking the time to share
Nice work mate. Easy to follow and great tips along the way. Thanks. Tim.
Very nice demonstration. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning Chris, excellent video very informative lots of good tricks tips and techniques. Your equipment really amazes me, that electric planishing Hammer is fantastic. Thank you and take care.
My dad taught me how to weld aluminium when i was 15 . This is the first time i've seen the use of flux ! I must try it .
Chris, wonderful work, I love you guys that take the time to put together these videos and explain what your doing and how to do it , for us less talented but hopeful wannabes....
i think you're doing it the right way, thanks for the tutorial
Really love your cars, love the videos just found them.
Beautiful work, sir
This is a work of art, each piece is so meticulously crafted !
It must feel so rewarding when you see your vision progressively coming together.
Chris, your a total inspiration! Keep up the awesome work Man!

I love watching your videos! You explain what you're doing very precisely. if you could use a lapel mic, I could hear you better, because sometimes the sound is so low that I have trouble hearing, but again, I really enjoy the videos! Please keep them coming. I have never built a car from scratch, but I would love to do it, and watching your artistic craftsmanship and design really inspires me! Hopefully if I watch and learn from you long enough, I'll gain enough understanding of the process to design and start building my own car.
A man’s man. Not a glove in sight 🤘
I enjoy these videos!
Your English wheel takes me back to the 80's when my friend was building his Alfa and would talk about the shop prices and how they were still paying for it 😉👍👍 really impressive work.
Brilliant skills, and detailed explanation.
waow, no words been created yet to qualify your way to work and share...however, thanks a lot chris....respects from Algeria
Hi! I am from Hungary,Very Very nice job!
Awesome work, thank you for sharing, keep following your passion, not enough people do 😊👍
So fun to watch - You have great skill. No wonder Jay Leno loves your cars.
Beautiful work Chris. I love it when the weld disappears. One the most satisfying things about shaping. Keep up the great work. I wish I had known what you do when I was your age. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice keep up the great work!
Mind boggling work, as always Chris! See you at Rennsport!
Thank you for sharing with us !
very nice metal work sir!
Awesome, thanks Chris!
Wow, a true craftsman. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I've never used an English wheel and I know I couldn't do what you did in this video. The completed piece looked absolutely fantastic.
You could do the same , just patience and hard work you can do anything
I find windscreens are the hardest part of a custom body are you having custom glass wind screens for this car.
I love your videos you make lots and lots and lots of work look so easy.It is NOT easy ....however it can be done....it just is not easy.
Great great video library you have created...thank you.
I love your videos. Good work.
Amasing work and craftsman ship...what patients
You Sir are a fabricating beast
What a amazing craftsmanship, I bow my head down in full respect I love your cars just love them ❤️🇳🇴❤️🇳🇴❤️👍🙏🙂🙂😀👍🇳🇴❤️❤️❤️
Great Job....WOW
Make more content man! Great work
nice work
Колоссальная Работа! столько разного инструмента, столько знаний в разных областях, ты реально Мастер с большой буквы!
Yes nice work like seeing the passion drive your creativity. I can appreciate your deligence , I had a passion like yours at the time of my apprenticeship at BMW in the 80s . Coming to Germany to pursue the craft and never going back to the US . Also your large interest for „das Handwerk „ but I don’t understand the use of standards while building instead of using an additive dimensioning system as metrics instead of breaking down dimensions with in it self to create fractions, which are quite abstract to imagine.
Stauchen is the expression for compressing metal „gathering“
عمل ممتاز تقنية جيدة في تعامل الالمنيوم شكرا على تخصيص وقت لتعليم
i wish u showed the fittment. excellent craftsmanship!
Nice work, I didn't know you could shape metal by hand like that, though you could only stamp with huge dies Thanks
That’s awesome!!!
Your work is amazing. You and Rod Emory should build a car together.
This man is fire
Could you have accomplished the same amount of shrinking by using a nylon hammer and concave stump and gathering the folds? Excellent video.
Yes, that's how I was shrinking panels prior to the reciprocating hammer. You can also use a "shotbag" to shrink.
Chris, always enjoy your work and videos! Do you have one-way check valves on those oxy/acetylene hoses? I didn't see them on your small torch and I'd like to continue watching you and your work. A local car exotic car specialist blew himself and his shop to smithereens after it was determined that his oxygen tank backfed into his acetylene tank and destabilized and blew.
Thanks so much Chris for your efforts in producing this video can i ask what polishing mop is on the Sander / Grinder ? when you used the nushine ?
Eu não conhecia você e nem seu serviço! parabens.gostaria de ver um vidio você fazendo o molde do carro, colocando esses matais para fazer as latas do carro
Thank you so much for posting this video! Very informative and inspiring:)
For those who don't know .
Circumference of a circle is radius x 3.142 exact dim
My dream car is a vw/porsche type 64 wish I had the skills to build it your one lucky guy
Really like your skill and sense of design. Can you tell me what kind of flux when gas welding aluminum?
I have seen you with Leno a few times. You are amazing. I have some questions about safety. Sorry...
Chris,do you know Craig Rodsmith (Rodsmith Motorcycles)? What you do with the 4 wheels he does with the 2 wheels .you guys are fantastic ,don’t understand why such limited subscribers. Need more videos
wow, absolutely truley insperational to watch an arist work like this. Do you design and build these cars from scratch? Are they made to order?
I am really in awe of your work and skills. I think were seeing the new Enzo Ferrari. Please keep making these great videos.
nice
Good...👍👍
Quality
WOW! Great Job!
Whom do you work for?
What car are you building behind you while you are at the English wheel? Its beautiful like all your creations, sketches or pictures?
When your piece was finished, it occurred to me you could manufacture and sell Runge Brand kitchen appliances. I know cars are cooler, but that technique of yours would make a sexy toaster.
Excellent as always!! One continuous weld? Not short 'stitch" welds to prevent warping ?
flame is so low hardley any wrap and the little it had he hit it with the english wheel.
Браво!
Ive worked in steel all my life. Im 52. Very little aluminum work. I like how aluminum flows so much easier.
I'm a new subscriber and would like to know how long it will take too build this car from start to finish? Great video thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧
Tom O'Hawk it takes many months even with the tools and experience it takes many months.
I always wonder back in the day making factory 550 spyders how long it took for the factory to produce the cars. This is ONE MAN. The factory hand 6 or more skilled ex airplane workers produce the bodies around the frame after bucking it.
were did you get the MECO? and what lens do you like ...Matt from Californian Classics UK.
This is amazing work mister. Did you follow the F7 with a grade C and then grade S to obtain the mirror finish? Is there a video on the construction of the wireframe aluminum body structure?
Thanks for the comment and question. I guess my explanation of the polish got edited out. I actually only used F7 to obtain this finish. I've found that the F7 breaks down becoming finer and finer to create the finish you see here. I actually haven't had that great of luck going with the C or S, I usually stick with the F7 and variable speed right angle Makita.
With all that radical shaping doesn't the Aluminum get work hardened and brittle? Do you ever have to anneal it?
do you gas weld to avoid warpage or just as a preferred process that you are more comfortable with?
What an awesome video Chris. Thanks so much for sharing this. Man, your work is so inspirational. I really wish I could have a go at something like this. Great job.
One question if I may? What ear protection do you use in your shop? Using the hammer looks like it might be kind of loud?
Eager to see how the piece fits and looks in place. Keep up the stellar work. 👍👌
Hello Guy, The hammer is not loud. I do have ear protection both foam plugs and the headphone type.
RÜNGE CARS Hi Chris, good to know. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm really looking forward to your next update 👍
Fascinating...do you need the 'cobalt' lenses for gas welding?I bought some of the rod and flux from Tinman guy but have yet to use it.The flare from the flux seemed exceptionally bright.
Yes the "Blue" lenses are best. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful job on that weld line... but out of curiosity why not take 1200, 1500 and a polishing process that ends with jeweler's rogues
Exust me.. your body moulding make from alumunium or stainles stell ?
What did you mix with the flux to make it liquid?
how long did it take you to make this part from start to finish
Any chance you can do a gas butt weld and show us the penetration before you touch it with a grinder? I have do a tig butt weld on 5005 1.2mm Ali sheet at work and it always has a line down the middle even with really good penetration and I am always concerned with possible cracking.
is the reason you gas welded rather than tig welded due to warping concerns of this piece having tight curves ?
HI CHRIS, CAN I ASK WHAT POLISHING WHEEL YOU USE ON THE ANGLE GRINDER? THANKS
Holy crap Chris your working in a dungeon. Need to get some LEDs up high on sealing to brighten the shop up. Also do you sell those shirts?
DieselPunk Cummins also interested
Shirts are available. email Chris@RungeCars.com
Shirts are available. email Chris@RungeCars.com
What type of shade in welding goggles do you use
Hi I love your work please tell me aluminium flux name and brezing road is tig aluminium welding rod ?
The old way to weld aluminium with oxy accetaline his to mix the flux into a paste ,spread onto both edges ,barring mind the flux was very corrosive and had to scrubbed off with water and a wire brush before planishing the eld back into shape.
