Very skilled work and hand eye co ordination takes years of practice , all your senses , touch, sight, muscle memory and the sound produced by the metal, you are a true artisan.

Very professional of you not to have camera running while you work. I CAN UNDERSTAND AS I AM AN ARTIST ALSO.REALLY IS A REMINDER TO KEEP JAGUAR BRAKES TIP TOP, ELSE ONE MIGHT SLAM INTO SOMETHING. YOUR WORK IS A LABOR OF LOVE. THANKS FOR SHARING HOW YOU POUND OUT A JAGUAR XKE BONNET.❤❤❤

Amazing work. Glad to see some people still in this trade

Amazing work Chuck. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. A panel beating friend of mine who makes panels every day said exactly the same thing about the shrinking hammer, "throw it in the bin, it's completely useless"!

Awesome work. I know it would be loud, but would have liked to see some hammer and dolly work. Watching your work makes me want to jump on my Jag.

Gorgious work, Mr. Lyons would be proud of you!

I love the comment "undamaged but in the wrong place"

Love to see your hammer and dolly, slapper and disc work!

Fantastic job, I would have liked to see you actually doing it and using the tool

Always a pleasure to watch an expert doing their magic.

Wonderful explanation of the theory of metal work with the actual application and the tools of the trade. Thank you for sharing.

You, sir, are an artiste.

Mind blowing work!! As always. And when I think of all of those original panels that have ended up on scrap piles when they didn’t need to! Awesome!!

That’s beautiful craftsmanship. I’d hope to half your skill in my lifetime. I’ve got a ‘67 restoration in the works right now that thankfully doesn’t need body work.

That is superb work.

Nice work Chuck! Cheers.

The results are pretty amazing.

a true craftsman great work, but would have liked to have seen how you unfolded that front end

Nice work 👌🏻 It’s like seeing double because I’ve just done exactly the same to a Red series 1 bonnet centre. It was an original rust free one with zero rust which made it worth the labour investment. The reproduction ones that are available are very poor quality so wasn’t an option for me. Subscribed 👍🏻😊

HI Chuck ! Lovely work . A man after my own heart !

That is real funny. Undamaged in the wrong place!!! I will have to remember that.

Amazingly skillful!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great work. I only wish I had a 1/10 of your skill with a dolly and slapper. Thanks for sharing what is possible. Hugh

This is beautiful and inspiring work with fantastic explanation. I would love an opportunity to learn these skills from someone who is as passionate, confident and experienced as you are. Your long-practiced skills show through in the work and how you talk us through it. I have some 80's cars needing a lot of bodywork, I'd love to do it myself for the journey and pride, but lack confidence and capability right now. Your videos offer both motivation to attempt these things myself, and appreciation of just how specialist and valuable the work done by experienced craftsmen is.

I CAN SEE GOLDIE HAWN IN THE METAL WORK. VERY BEAUTIFUL WORK! I THOUGHT XKES WERE ALUMINUM? CA.N YOU ILLUSTRATE HOW YOU SHRINK

Amazing!!!

You did a real nice job. I did mine close. Not as good as you, but close.

Impressive, as all the work you and your team does. ✊

Congratulations... great work. i admire you.thank you for showing us.

Great 👍 job!

Interesting video!

35 years ago had a Maroon 1970 E Type convertable. Called it the 'Purple Penis'! Some drunken idiot at a party body slammed his back onto it showing off. It left a serious dent in centre bulge so made him pay for complete new bonnet. The repair shops inexperienced son of the owner quoted £1800 for complete replacement including labour. His Father went mad for not quoting enough as it's endless work fitting each of these bonnets as each one was originally custom fitted to each car. They did a great job. Then paid them to panel beat the old bonnet ~ (which was by then the property of the insurance company) and eventually sold it on for £500 profit... Happy days!

Awesome!

Inspiring!

Would it be possible to show a video on how you use the slapper and dolly to remove a low?

Did you make any video of you making the repair? Would like to see that.

Respect!

there was a great song by Marc Bolen and T rex- 'metal guru' written for you Chuck ? ; ) oh yeah, how about a one half hour film of you doing the work- no commentary necessary . . . ?

Or . How about "Bend me , shape me " American Breed (over here in the uk Amen Corner ) ! That's been the panelbeaters song for me for over 50 years ! 🤣🤣

👍👍👍

LIKE 😊

"It's not damaged it's just in the wrong place" Can I use that?
