- In this video Chris takes the paper pattern made off of the RS Buck and transfers it onto Aluminum Sheet. He then begins the process of forming the fender by shrinking on the Reciprocating hammer and stretching with the English Wheel.

Excellent job, Chris! You are developing your own style of shaping, and you are very articulate in describing the goals, and your thought process as you are working.
Thank you so much Chris for taking the time and effort necessary to put this highly detailed set of lessons on CZcams.
True craftsmen understand that they will always be learning, be humble and that they are practicing their craft; the current project that they are working on is only part of the goal.
You are exceptionally good at teaching...
Not sure what I did to earn this metalshaping masterclass, but I am loving the whole process thanks.
Thanks Richard, I'm a big fan of your videos as well - Keep it up!
BUILDING A CAR WITH A HAMMER AND YOUR KNEE... IM INSPIRED
Chris, you're a true artist.
Fascinating to watch this process evolve, as you describe where the problem areas are and how you address them. I'm really enjoying this series!
You can take shape out in the wheel by gently wheeling the edge and then gently wheeling the shape outward to that edge you have stretched love these videos Chris 👌👌
Chris, you were born 85 years too late. You would have fit in with the 1940's Specials Builders like Glockler Porsche and Max Balchowsky. You've given that craftsmanship and auto art form new life. Simply amazing passion. 👌What is your son doing these days?
A fan in New Hampshire 👍
Thank you John. My son is finishing up highschool and works 3 jobs including helping here in the shop. He is passionate about cars and making strides in everything from fabricating, paint and bodywork and engine building. He most recently rebuilt a BMW M10 motor for his grandpa over the winter!
👍 Thanks for making these videos
Great work, beautifully explained.
Damn. My headphones died half way through watching it. I’m on a train from south to north of Switzerland on my way to work. Guess I’ll have to finish watching it in work 😂
finished watching in work :). i guess the surprising thing was how quickly you got a panel that looks pretty smooth and quite a good fit. i guess that comes from the experience i knowing just where and how much to shrink and wheel.
Great videos, Chris. Real master classes.
Thank you sir!
Thanks, Chris! I'm always in awe of time and care that goes into your cars! I hope to do something akin that this some day!
Much love from Brazil. Thank you so very much for your tutorials. Keep them coming please
Thank you for this series! Enjoy watching your workflow
Thanks again for taking the time to create these videos! It's great to see the approach you take in making each panel.
Bloody brilliant
Brilliant, thank’s a lot.
This is awesome! Thanks, Chris!
Liked and subscribed. Thanks Chris.
Awesome video, Chris!
Totally Excellent, dude
Very generous of you to teach this
Brilliant stuff, Chris. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Enjoying this series. I know you’ve been in it a while, but the new shop is amazing. Reminiscent of the post war factories with the glass doorway.
Nice job so far Chris & it's very interesting the different methods of shaping panels between the US guys & the English. The English, use very little shrink & most people therefore think the metal must get very thin in places, because it's only stretched, however wheeling properly & understanding how you can move metal around, is where the real skill & understanding of metal shaping comes from.
Having seen it done in the UK was a real game changer for me, if you ever come to the UK I can highly recommend a coachbuilder who teaches the english method, MPH Motorpanels in Cornwall, you can see Geoff Moss demonstrating his skills on Bill Longyards channel & also Domonic Chineas YT channel too.
Any way really enjoying your current series on here 👍
I am a big fan of Geoff Moss as well. He's a magician with the wheeling machine! Would love to go over some day and spend a day or two there like Bill did!
thanks for sharing your knowledge of metal shaping Chris, and for allowing us to see the entire build process. this is a wonderful series. am looking forward to the inner fenders and how you create the reverse curves.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing. These are such well paced and delivered videos. They are a pleasure to watch.
GREAT VIDEO CHRIS, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT UPDATE
Fascinating to watch the flat panel take shape using these various techniques. Will definitely be following the processes going forward.
Truly outstanding, your tenacity and perseverance to develop your skills and then explain and document them is amazing.
oh boy! a 914 on the lift in back :)
Sooo talented..
Thank you for this. Well done on articulating your methodical path.
Chris I just got a toyokoki mt4 vibro shear
Very much like your
Reciprocating hammer,
I won it in a auction,
I’ve built my own English wheel,
I’m almost at the point where I’m going to start build my first car
You’re such a inspiration…thanks
Always awesome watching your videos. I'm about 1/3 through my training on coachbuilding, and it always helps seeing others doing the same thing with variances in process
solo una palabra, genio !!!
Looking forward to watching this car take shape
This is better than watching brain surgery. Very cool. Thanks.
You should get yourself a Makita JS3202 metal shear, a great piece of kit. Or they do a nibbler DJS161Z, although I can’t comment on the usage of this tool.
I will look into that! Thank You
I envy you. Very nice work.
fantastic see it from the start, going to make a cab for CJ7 bit of an oddball going to be aluminium series 2a pick up curved quarter windows made a steel buck come steel shell, just wondered how do you fix the aluminium to the frame if you want to leave the frame in place , don;t think it will be any way as good as yours but want curves rather than straight lines thanks for showing your skills from here over the pond in the UK love your new shop very smart thanks again for your content Sam
It's a hard one to teach because it's a feel from doing it over and over with muscle memory.
My father did it and made it look easy but it is not easy at all.
Ви Майстер!! Клас!
Fantastic video! Great explanation of the selecting places to shrink and hammer and fit! I don't fully understand what areas you select to English wheel or any of the reasons behind which wheel you may use.
Great point on the wheeling process. We will make sure to cover this in an upcoming video!
👍
😁👍
Awesome vid, I’m sure you make it look easier than it is. Do you ever/have you ever shrunk metal with a tucking fork/tool?
Yes I made a tucking/shrinking fork a few years ago and played around with it until I figured out the technique and had it working pretty well. Because I have this reciprocating hammer, the tucking fork is something I just don't use often. I think it's certainly good to have one around the shop though.
Your logo is really cool looking. The old cars, of the style you are mimicking, were they steel body, or aluminum?
Merhaba.. hayranlıkla izledim çok teşekkür ederim... Bir ricam olacak videolara Türkçe çeviri de ekleyebilirmisiniz?
Would it be possible (as an amateur, with a lot of time on his hands) to create a monocoque chassis our of aluminum, like the Lotus 25, in a similar fashion? Or, would a monocoque be better suited to a fiberglass mold with reinforcements?
What is the name of the flexible ruler that you used in Part 1?
Thanks, Mike in Germany
Amazing. I have a question regarding the windshield. Is it custom too ? I would like to build a small one seater car just for fun and was planning to make a windshield out of lexan. Was wondering if you could give me some recommendation about the design steps and fabrication steps if you made yours. Merci
One problem with Lexan is it is prone to scratching. Sometimes it seems like if a butterfly landed on it there would be a mark, and forget the very idea of having windshield wipers. Some builders will shape their windshield opening based on what factory produced windshields are available.
Question: when you rebody a car what does that do to the title? I want to build a Dusenberg/Caddy phaeton and figure an e-150 chassis would be a good starting point - but a 32 cad will look nothing like a 92 E150... Using such an old chassis I maybe can workaround if I register the van as an antique car before the mods...
Do you alway work in aluminum? How are you welding it? I've been working in steel (thanks to fitzee's and bad chad for inspiration)
I'm afraid to ask how long it takes you to make a body...
is there a video about the actual starting point , did you start with the mechanicals off another car , say a floor pan etc , or do you fit the mechanical bits to the body shape , is it for example made to fit a boxster chassis ,
Great question Tom. In the CNC Buck building video I explain a little about the chassis, which began as a rendition of the Porsche 550 ladder frame type and has evolved into having a few suspension and design elements from later Porsche racing cars. Here is a link to that video if you haven't seen it: czcams.com/video/Q5Qix8T3BmA/video.html
@ Many thanks ,, Ill go watch it ,, I thought I had missed something , wasnt being rude but its hard to start in the middle and go both ways ,, something has to be fixed to measure from or too .
Do you reckon buying an old Miata (Mazda mx-5) and trying to make my own body like this would be a good first step? You make it look very appealing!!! 😊👍
I think a Miata would be a great place to start. On my first build I used an FV race chassis. I wanted a sort of blank slate for underpinnings but have simple/reliable mechanicals. The Miata has that going for it. One thing that may be difficult with the Miata is the "packaging" of the bodywork over the existing underpinnings... With the FV being open wheeled it gave me a lot of open "real estate" to create my own inner support structure without having to work around existing systems...
Thanks!
Could you advise on the shot bird ive looked on ebay in Australia 🇦🇺 can buy it in 1 Kilogram bags but all different sizes from 1mm 2mm mixed Bags would that be okay to use
Ours is 1.75MM Lead birdshot. I do prefer lead over steel. Also, I have tried sand and again the lead shapes far more quickly over sand...
@ thank you
Could this be done in stainless steel?
I believe the concept applies to most types of metal but I have not personally tried working with Stainless in this manner. I do know that it will take more effort due to the nature of stainless VS Aluminum...
Are the Delrin dies quieter than steel dies?
I would say yes, substantially quieter.
@ 👍 for the quieter thumb nail dies.
1st
чому даний проект не з карбону!!!!!!!! булоб ЗАНАДТО КРУТО ????
