This channel is filled with expertise! Thanks Ryan! Why you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me

[@FabianPiperno]

I have one of those pedal cars, they’re super cool! If you decide to widen those Fuchs I’ve used dog bowls in the past (on a cozy coupe). You can pop the centers in and use the bowl as a lip, or 3D print some BBS RS centers 🙂👍

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Great idea!

[@dejweedz]

Hi! You can make that little 911 your workshop demo car for advertisment :D just finish it up from all 4 sides and put some cool scale rims

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Noted! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@LooseNut099]

Thank you, Ryan. That was a terrific tutorial which only serves to underscore the complexity of the work you do and the skill that it requires.

[@chaserwilliams1]

I used to work in a licensed Porsche workshop, I did bodywork. These guys are really good, I wish I knew how to shape metal like that! I think I found my new hobby :)

Another great video! BTW - What diameter wire do you use?

[@JonFukuda]

Better than Saturday morning cartoons! Crucible weekend goodness thanks for the 101. I was wondering how far you’d get in one vid. What was the real-time on this build just to set expectations?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thanks Jon! This was an afternoon of work.

[@tptrsn]

Amazing video, thank you for this!!
And you damn well know what RWB stands for, you big kidder! Lol

Good vid 👍

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Thank you! 🤙🏻

I did a wide body on ky car in a similar way, im super happy with the result other than its not that symetrical side to side.
Im the only one that notices it but it is there 😥
Do you have any helpfull tips for keeping both sides symmetrical?

[@seymour86]

Awesome video! If you were hemming the wheel edge, would you be using the bead roller to do that?

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

Correct! Bead roller to tip the flange, a stretch to allow it to lay flat, then hammer and dolly to finish it off.

[@seymour86]

@@CrucibleCoachworks thank you sir!

[@GoldenSim27]

QUESTION !!! i always wanted to wide body my car , juste about 1'' to make cleaner fender edges and use wider wheels and lower the car a bunch, but what is stopping me is how do i hold the inner fender up in there ? factory it holds by the lip of the fender edge .. its a daily

[@jamiebizness1]

Can you shrink it without the kick shrink

[@downlowperformanceinc4860]

I also HATE plastic bolt on wide body. Check out my how too wide body classic beetle.

[@vityaatamas8707]

Отличная работа, Бро.

[@dave_ecclectic]

I thought wide body was where the body was split down the middle and physically moved outward, a strip is added in this center gap, thus not requiring fender flares
As opposed to... fender flares.

[@wheezy7656]

just wish i had access to the tools 😭

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

11:55 Is that some odd tool or a unicycle in the background? So many questions…

[@CrucibleCoachworks]

It’s a unicycle 😅 Arguably a tool tho. 😂

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Real nice work in all you do. I wish I learned metal craftsmanship earlier in my life.

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

Replace the plastic fender flares on my Ford Ranger with actual metal ones 🤔

[@crtxdistortion657]

Not a Duck-tile. It's a Mallard... Maybe a Mall-et-ard?
Good vid though! 🙂

[@thetruth7202]

I was hoping I can do this myself but don't have fancy machines like you 😕.. great video 👍

[@johnterpack3940]

Trying to find the testicular fortitude to put box flares on my Mustang. And the money, definitely money.

[@renerostohar]

Mayby you have to polich your englishwheel wheels. They are mega durty. Your transvure it in your metal.
