Great videos with great explanations!! You do great work and I’ve learned a ton from you. The thing I like the most of the 3 videos I’ve watched so far is you keep the language clean unlike other KZreadrs videos! Keep up the great work!!

You've got the gift of great explanation that sets some instructional KZreadrs apart from the rest. Well done!

Watched the whole series, what an amazing transformation! Thought at the beginning there was NO WAY to save that hood! You are a skilled craftsman! Earned my sub! 🙌🏼😱

Thank you for the Demo on shrinking great info. I have some kinks in my roof of my 1955 210 chevy near the back of the car like someone sat on it. Great Job!

One of the better shows especially discussing hammer and dolly and torch shrinking. Keep up the good work.

I really appreciate these videos. A big difference from the usual Bondo artists I see on KZread.

@@MakeItKustom I should elaborate a bit. I use Bondo as well. It's a fine product when used as intended. Unfortunately I see too many paint and body 'pros' use the stuff the wrong way. BTW, I'm very impressed with your skills. You're a very talented young guy. Lately I've been in slump, numerous projects not making any progress. Watching your vids had motivated me to get off my ass.

Wow learning a lot of my mistakes and making your tools bro nice teaching us old farts for our little projects helps so much thanks my man.

It's been an amazing transformation watching where it started and where it's at. The biggest take away is time and patience. As always I appreciate the knowledge.

I must say watching you triggers something deep down in many of us- to give so much of yourself thru almost a physical artistry of hard work- leaving behind a bit of yourself in what you recreated. We all need to do more things that are tangible reflections of our spirit. This said from an old retired flooring guy! You gave great tips for my project 1969 Sport Fury! Peace brother.

Excellent. And I thought craftsmanship was lost in this country.

Bro you are a master teacher!! Thank you!

Your technique is beyond amazing. I used to know an old time body man, who worked for Raleigh Motor Sales, who used a home built " Slapper" exclusively , made also from a leaf spring, but his planishing hammer was all hand finished with specialty hammers. I am impressed with your skill and expertise.

Incredible work 👏 These three episodes have been awesome.

A appreciate that you show a full range of techniques, from backyard beating to coach building, plus the shop built tools you use.

Wonderful detailed explanation! Thanks

Funny you should be working be working on a Willys. My next door neighbor (older gentleman) has four Pre-WWII Willys Hotrods ('40 and '41 are the dates I remember). A Fire Engine Red one, a yellow one, a flat Black panel (truck/van ?), and one in his other garage that's still in parts, waiting for some attention. What little I can see of it under the piles of stuff, it still looks stock. He's got a couple of three buddies in the neighborhood that are also into Hotrods. I get treated to a mini-carshow from time to time. The guy down the block has a purple, open top, chopped Model T, wide rear tires. They're all classic Hotrod style, not Rat-Rods. My neighbor just came back from a show down near Bakersfield, CA. , and said his panel truck was a hit ( Yes, he did trailer it down there) You would approve of how he's detailed them out. Thanks for covering shrinking disks. I've been wondering about them for years. Useful to know (everything I own is dented, rusted, or both).

My grandpa used to build hot rods in the 60s and 70s. He taught my dad a lot mechanically but he didn’t have the patience to pick up on the metal work. I’ve been told I have the patience of my grandpa and I’ve been thinking about picking up where he left off. I do fabrication on bigger stuff (I am a fabricator in the oil and gas industry). I really appreciate these videos (especially the 4 door to 2 door ‘55) and they have motivated me to start trying to find me an old project car. Keep up the good work brother 🤙🏼

I really enjoy all of your videos . They definitely help me . Even though I don’t practice enough. You said that your using a variable speed polisher for the shrinking disc. I took. Ken Sakamotos metal finishing class . Which is a excellent class .Ken is very good and a good teacher. He also invented the original shrinking disc. He taught me that you need 5000 rpm’s to run a shrinking disc. I metal finished a sun visor for a 53 Chevy that was dented all the way across and surface rusted. Using hammers Dollie’s, slapper and shrinking disc. I delivered it in raw metal . I used dykem and Kens serrated shrinking disc

Wray sure makes shrinking seem easy. I never doubted Wray, but your demo confirms it again. You both are geniuses. 👍👍😎👍👍
