1933 Ford Fender Repair
I hope this intrigues all of our viewers. We wanted to finish the Alfa fender but we have something more important to do and we have a limited time to finish it. So here we have 2 1933 Ford Fenders which were repaired at some point but as you can see, the repair needs to be repaired.
There is a patch that was put on the inside of the fender overlapping the original skin. On the front side of the fender we can see a lot of holes and micro dents. To fix this Wray starts out with a gauge showing the opening of the fender and comparing it to the fender that needs the most work. The gauge doesn’t fit the second fender as it seems the front has pushed the fender in.
Now that we measured everything it’s time to make a flexible shape pattern and gauges. Wray explains how he does it, which is a nice change for me as I just get to film him doing it. Once the flexible shape pattern has been made, Wray compares it to the fender that needs work and it is confirmed that they don’t match.
To see what’s going on with the bead, Wray uses his shrinker / stretcher and a 1” strip of sheet metal and stretches it to match the bead. Again, when we compare it to the other fender we see that the bead dips down.
Tomorrow we will cut out the rotted section of the fender and replace it with a patch panel to make both fenders match.

You are most definitely offering up "inside baseball" working knowledge on body repair (sheet metal work, etc.). Home run on that electric scissor! The skill in "pattern making" gives you the advantage and the customer security in knowing the skill level of repair work will be high, very high. Oh no...Mr. Insurance man just walked into your shop, looked at that fender and said his company would only spend 2.5 hours to fix that fender--of course at a labor rate far below yours! You reach for your least favorite hammer and force him to leave your shop, never to return! Bet me in your very early history such an event did not occur...it's that natural path of being a true artist-craftsman. Imagine using a laser system, running a cad program, making that pattern...not the same kind of fun for sure.
It continues to astound me the quantity of quality videos from experts in their field. However, you not only clearly know what you're doing, you're also good as explaining it, and showing the entire mental process in a clearly laid out manner. Thank you so much for sharing your skill with us!
I wish I could like this 1000x perfect for my 29 a project. Need some restore your multi section hinged hood videos too.
Awesome thanks 😊
Thx for sharing your knowledge it means a lot
Very entertaining and inspirational watching you work especially on a paid, real world job.
Great video!
The amount of fiddling around just to ensure the correct alignment, no wonder they either replace part's or throw it away, there are lots of vehicles here in Australia that get ritten off, QUASHKA had the front bumper torn off, and it was totalled, structural ritt off, all the best to yous and your loved ones
very interesting procedure. can't beat the accuracy of that flexible shape pattern. is that your brainchild? cheers
Yes, I created the flexible shape pattern system over 20 years ago.
How sure can you be that original panels were actually symmetrical? At various times, the industry seems to have had rather relaxed tolerances.
5/8" total length difference was the clincher.
brilliant video and explained very well
looking forward to part 2
thank you Wray
I noted from other videos that you are concerned about the plaster of Paris getting burnished into the surface. Have you tried other powders, like corn starch, or maybe even a light dusting of silicone spray?
Any foreign material that allowed to be on the surface of a panel will be embedded into the surface. Wheeling requires super clean surfaces.
I wish I could do as good a repair as the one you consider butchered. I can't even come close to your level of quality.
I hear that a lot then I prove them wrong. It is all about being accurate with your measurements.
@@proshaper I seem to have a better ability with the mechanical side of things, although there's a garage full of cars here in various non-running states that would disagree with that statement. I may have to reconsider my entire life. I'm literally three miles from your shop, but with the difference in skill levels I may as well be on another planet !
your knowledge is "thank god" only surpassed by your patience and teaching ability - wow , thank you ( clay schelin )
Very enjoyable video Wray!
very good i enjoy watching and learning
Always wonderful to watch how metal work is done the right way, with patience and proper procedure . I enjoy every minute of it .
Seeing your attention to detail and what a true craftsmen you are, I would not want you to see the 62 C10 Project truck I'm working on. But I will apply some of your techniques (along with Fitzee's) as needed to get my project back on the road!!!
Oh yeah. Waiting with great anticipation for part two. When I was a kid messing around with old Fords, fenders were not nearly as scarce as they are now. A cracked fender with a broken bead was the "kiss of death." We did not try to repair the bead .Anxiously waiting for this!
I've learned so much from this channel, that this summer I'm going to spend my weekends redoing everything I did incorrectly on my fenders last summer :)
Sorry.😁😁😁
You are not alone. Half way through and now i learned so much i just wasted my time the previous work i did 😆
Love the work you do Wray. This channel is amazing.
Very good. I have a similar fender that needs work.
So much more learned and that flexible shape pattern along with that wheel arch gage prove the value!
What gage steel did you use on the wheel arch gage? 18 or 20 gage?
18, 19, 20 all work fine.
26:41 I thought you realized your mistake of forgetting to draw the index mark for the 3rd gauge. Not that it matters as much with that body line running around the wheel lip to index off of.
I've now learned that flexible shape patterns can easily be added onto and extended. I guess that makes it a good mistake.
Thank you for a very informative video sir
"The tools won't get anything done or they'll make it wrong. It's your measuring and your techniques of the process that you use that makes the accuracy." -Wray Schelin
Pleasure to watch your work wray as always from down under.
Spetacular Class! Tks a lot! Congrats from Brazil!
Doing repair on old car parts is like being a forensic archaeologist doing a study of the history of the car.
Thanks for showing us how to make a flexible shape pattern again. This information will help us immensely.
Watched all ur episodes several times, always look forward to a new one haha
Easily one of your best videos ,, but after watching lots of Wrays videos the whole process is just so simple and so logical , looking forwards to seeing more .
Paid work is better for you and us cause you get $ and we get to see content sooner
Great video Ray. I install flooring and when making patterns for vinyl flooring, you can't have too many lineup marks and notes on your pattern. I love your emphasis on measuring different points for comparison..... you're playing Columbo to find out what happened to cause the damage.
Have you tried the Milwaukee sharpies.
I love em. Nice sharp point.
Looking again in the background, I see what looks to be Milwaukee, but I've only seen them with black caps.
Yes, I use Milwaukee markers.😁😁😁
Thanks Wray. As usual good stuff.
Thanks! I've got the same issues with my '38 Plymouth fenders.
Me too 39 Plymouth
Impressive as usual.
measure measure measure!!!!! thats the way wray
You talk about measuring all the time I agree ask bad chad if he measures anything. Answer is NO he don’t know what a measurement is or a rule.
I don't believe he "makes cars" he cuts/pastes/bondos. It is a totally different thing. People perceive he produces custom cars. They are nothing you would drive on a regular basis. They are really car like sculptures.
That's just too much high tech for me. I'm building a 1930 Ford coupe on a budget. There is absolutely no way I could afford this, but thanks, it looks great!!
If the front got bumped and created a bulge, and then someone beat the bulge to straighten the edge, wouldn’t that shrink the metal in the bulged area? That could help explain the difference in radius, no?
The "repair" history should show up when I cut the old patch area open.
Another great video Wray. By the way. Was that a rude word written on the masking tape 😂
Yes it was, when the customer dropped off the fenders he had tape everywhere with colorful language describing what's wrong with it. I completely forgot it was there, good eye!
A true master of your craft!
thank you Ray
EXCELLANT VIDEO couldn't get away from watching it, you are the master!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really have enjoyed this so far. I look forward to the next video. One question; what is the board made of, that you used your little hand punch on for the little holes? Thanks. To
Great Work. Looking Forward to Seeing More. Thanks. Have a GREAT 4th of July 2022.

Who's to say the other fender is the correct shape?
There is no evidence of damage.
Nice
at first I thought he was saying flexible shape hat which is the same thing actually. you got to love Wray Schelin not many left who can English wheel and work on a fender like him
Their Spring clamps Not squeeze clamps lmao 😂
cars from that era are not symmetrical. two different dies are used to make the left and right side. by hand.
Great stuff as always Wray!
Excellent video very interesting thanks Wray.
Very nice, Meister! I´m learning a lot - looking forward to part 2
Отличный урок ! Спасибо !
Love this stuff! Thanks Wray
Mysteries of metal work!
You need some tilers shape gauges, quick and accurate
I have a bunch of them. I hate them!!! Much more accurate cutting and sanding. Speed is not the objective accuracy is.
@@proshaper you can a locking type and they work well
@@proshaper Seems like another tool and technique video. Show the various tools and their various results. Not saying yours are bad; just that I was also tempted by a radius gauge until I realized how large some of the pins were.
@@bigears4014 they are too limited by the depth of the curve, plus they don't pick up very fine detail.
