Metal Shaping. How-To Use Cheap Tools To Build A Complicated Patch Panel.

Hello! Today we are back on the 1936 Chevy Truck. In this video I am building a patch panel for the fender, so I'll be covering the entire process from start to finish. We will begin by making a pattern, then move into shaping the metal using a variety of home made and cheap tools that are readily available to the average hobbyist.

Magical, how a flat piece of metal turns into a curved piece of art. Bravo.

As a kid, all I ever wanted to be was an Auto Body Fender man, but, NO, I just had to go to college instead. So, after EIGHT years in college, I got a master's degree in Russian language and entered the Army as an Intelligence Officer. I got stuck there for twenty five years and finally retired. I'm now 65 years old, fully retired and NOW, I wanna' be an Auto Body Fender man!!!! Your video is incredible and I am determined to buy a hammer and dolly set and an English Wheel and start smashing my fingers. Thanks so much for your incredible video!

Please show it all. I'm learning quite a bit by watching

[johnholloway]

you are a true craftsman who learned through trial an error over the years well done, in a league all your own.

[MultiHotrod]

I never thought I'd be entertained by bodywork. You, sir, are a true craftsman.

[daxtonbrown]

The two paper templates to determine stretching is invaluable. Thanks.

Oscar Wilde said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", you are the best traditional bodyman on YT by far, so forget the Facebook guys even exist.

Every time I start to gain confidence with my fabricating abilities I watch a video like this and realize how unskilled I truly am lol. Thank you for showing us how a true craftsman works!

[ExSheriffFattyBoySkinnyArms]

The quality of the knowledge that this craftsman dispenses is invaluable. Hope everyone who watches this channel realises this. Thank you so very much Mr Carter for sharing your trade secrets with the world. It is very much appreciated!

THOSE KITTIES ARE DEFINENTLY CHILLIN !!






KEEP THE PICS OF THOSE LITTLE MUCHKINS COMMING SO WE KNOW THEY ARE PART OF THE VIDEO REPAIRS.

A bit late to the party on this one but I just wanted to thank you. The 2 templates to determine your approach is genius. As is reading the overlaps in the paper. Never seen it explained so well. Cheers, enlightened.

Only have ever had YouTube to find what I like to watch. I have no need for other types of social media. 👍🙂

Ha ha, the Log Driver's Waltz is a classic!! I loved the explanation of "how long does it take", well said. Very cool how well that tucking fork works, simple and effective.

[TheEcono]

Never too far gone, I've watched you do it.

[georgeclements]

Sad to hear a out the imposter problem. Please do show the welding in of the repair panel, wire edging and planishing: I really enjoy seeing the end result of repairs. Best wishes.

[flattopalpha]

Yes, I would like to see the entire job completed and in fact, the entire car till it is road worthy.

[mikewatson]

Never would have thought about the fact that shaping from one side or the others would make a difference. Your explanation was both eye opening and concise.

[thomasjain]

Yes I would love to see you complete this repair!😊

[kenstevens]

Great video please share the rest of the repair.
