Plus que de la maitrise, de l' excellence ! De la découpe de la tole à la soudure, il n"y a rien d'approximatif. TOP. Je suis jaloux ...

WOW. You just solved what I always found weird about the XK120 coupe

thanks for uploading the video and sharing more of the XK120. wonderful craftsmanship.

I really enjoy your videos....great panel beating, great shop with lots of skill, a real pleasure to watch so keep up the amazing work.

Good morning gentlemen, beautiful panel work and your gas welding is so good you should not cover it up with bodywork. It should be left for all to see. Thank you for another informative and educational video. You take care and good luck.

Thanks a lot Steve

Wow, that looks amazing! I’m sure it will make even a few purists think differently.

Phenomenal. Awesome. Love the videography. I just learned more in one short film than a dozen tutorials. Shots of the gas welding were fantastic, seeing the weld pool form was so enlightening.

THAT is really kind of you. Thanks a lot for taking the time to tell me what you think of my work.

Definitely impressive results! I'm sure some folks don't like to cut up that style of car but you made it look like it "belongs". Well done.

Thanks a lot. Client is happy, so do I.

it's perfect, like it was always meant to be that way

verry impressive craftmanship , looking at the side profile i might looked intoo sloping the back of the roof part that he made new down the trunk feathering the shape intoo the ass end of the car and making it look a little more like an x type jag coupe , its verry nicely shaped the way it is now the coupe look might ve made it look a bit faster mightve reduced the curve/dome of the roof some too or at least reduce the amount of roof visable above the side windows its a thing i have with vw bugs too when there chopped the roof looks too poofie for the rest of the part with the windows in it slimming it down would make it look better , either by flattening the roofs curve or lower it near the windows making it turn down more agressivealong its edges to fit

content de voir que vous êtes un couple de jeunes gars, belle soudure oxyacétéléne, je prendrais seulement une torche plus petite, par exemple un Messer Grießheim Minitherm, le Jaguar et plus Belle aprés le "Top-Chop"......... ; )

merci beaucoup. C'est vrais que je n'ai jamais essayé avec une autre torche, je devrais faire ca, merci du conseil.

Bonjour, j'admire votre travail d'artisan et de passionné, c'est tellement beau de savoir former la matière comme ça ! :) 1:05 - Pourquoi vous n'utilisez pas le TIG pour la soudure bord à bord sans apport. Est-ce que ça limiterait la chauffe et les deformations à une zone bcp plus petite ?

@slgclassiccars4098

Жыл бұрын

le TIG ferai bien l'affaire aussi, mais le trouve le chalumeau beaucoup plus facile à utiliser, meilleur contrôle du bain de fusion, pénétration plus sûre, on voit mieux ce qu'on fait, lunette plus legère, bec plus legère que la troche, et surtout je trouve ca plus beau ;-). Je trouve la soudure également plus facile à planer, même si la zone de chauffe est plus large qu'au TIG

Beaucoup plus harmonieuse la nouvelle lunette AR !

Die arme Katze... Handwerklich saubere Arbeit aber ein XK 120 FHC ist bei einer Änderung immer der Verlierer. Ruhe in Frieden!

I have a 120 FHC the same as this car. Brilliant workmanship, but I wonder if there is enough headroom after this job. These cars are already Very cramped inside!

@@slgclassiccars4098 two simple statements. They are quite clear. I am making, by myself, a small two seat Packard speedster which they never made. My metal work is passable to me and is made at a low cost because I am essentially free. The astonishing skill of the panel beater is mind blowing. It is hard to guess the cost of just that single piece of metal that is featured in the video. I would pay/charge about $125/hour for this consummate craftsman’s time. Let’s say he spent four days, 32 hours hammering and rolling, cutting and welding. You get to my number pretty quickly. Now who would pay that? The patron/customer who wants it, that’s who, nobody else, because he believes it is worth it. And that’s how you justify building a million dollar custom/restored/modified astonishing Jaguar made for a guy who thinks it is worth it. Me, I’ll make my own dream for exactly the same reason. I hope this helps.
