Watching this makes my head spin, taking a flat sheet of metal and turning it into a quarter panel is mind boggling. Oh to have such talent. Fantastic job. Thanks

I remember some years ago you were on an automotive panel show on channel 31. I was mesmerized by your skill of crafting a flat piece of metal into something magic.

I have seen this video, at least, 20 times. I still can't believe what I saw. Love it!! You make it all seem so easy. Sign of a true craftsman.

This inspires me to get cracking with my own home projects. I have a english wheel and I need to learn how to use it properly, that why I just bought your DVD's, and look at your stuff on MetalMeet. Metalmeet is such a great sight to find guys like you with talent and that are willing to share and teach. Thanks heaps! - John

How is that humanly possible? Here I sit mighty proud of the jackmounts and portions of the floor I fabbed for my ford Taunus, and then I see this. Just incredible. You guys should have some sort of award.

I am utterly gobsmacked amazed at the talent of this individual. Honestly I’m lost for words. Peter, thank you for these videos

HI ikess.... Thank you for the kind words ,as far as the quarter panel for the Subaru I have made 2 full quarters L/H and R/H about 2 years ago Peter

this is awsome,i used to work in south melbourne in the 80s next to r a mcdermot rolls royce,in the good weather the old coach builders would open the back roller door and you could see them hand fabing panels for the restos, awsome to watch old school skills that are slowly dissapering, p/s i hope that son of yours is doing well,he started at mick malones after i left, i hope he is looking after the xc,noticed it in the background of this vid,cheers geoff howard

one of few men out of 7 billion to be able to produce from scratch with just tools and a sharp eye a near metal press fit(the machine that produces the body panel) of a full panel. if anyone comes across a car worked on by this man, just know its worth every fucking penny cos of the work he and his team does to it.

Peter teaches classes both in Australia and he periodically comes to the US. Check Allmetalshaping and you can find out when he is holding classes. He also has DVD's where he makes the same quarter panel and breaks everything down. Really was a "gamechanger" for me. Plus he's a really nice guy.

Hi rivermetal we wheel some shape with the wheel first... and yes the panel was a bit flopy at first but we manage to contain it by holding it, when it start to take some shape it was OK the all the other shapes where done by hand Peter

Holy crap!!! Most people would have to have made that in multiple separate panels. Peter probably doesn’t even know how to weld because he never had to!!!!

@Handbuilt1

4 жыл бұрын

I can weld, but in this case because of the nature of the panel it would be difficult to find a good place to join the panels together, mainly because of the big return on the wheel arch. Welding a panel like that would be a lot of work to line up, weld,and clean up , more so than make the panel in one piece

Just awesome work! Can you let us know roughly what you would charge to make a custom quarter panel like that, or how many days it takes to make one?

Skill! I would love to have seen a longer version of this video.

HI Turbocobra it takes aprox 120 hours to hand made a panel that side that is for making and fitting Peter

Hi Peter Did you manually introduce some crown in the panel before you began wheeling? just to keep such a large panel from flopping around in the wheeling machine

It is always jaw dropping to watch a master artisan at work. Look at the sheet metal and know exactly where to hit the hammer and each hammer strike exactly precise. Sure could probably have bought a repro but you'd spend hours making it fit. Sad that such skills are slowly being lost. Great video Peter only less annoying music on the next one, in fact what about just the natural sounds of the workshop.

Right or left side? He work on the right side but they show the left side on the result..

one guide that i didnt find anywhere is how to make parts like the dent where the sides of the bumper goes in the quarter panel, or where the tail lights go, they are hard to fabricated if you are just experimenting with no help or guide.
