      All good on the hiccup at the beginning. Amazing work you do brother. You are gifted and just love how you explain the process/steps. I’ve been doing what some friends have said is maybe unorthodox work on a motorcycle but I have to tell you, it is turning out really nice and I figure that’s all that matters. I’m happy with the results. A real satisfaction doing this work with the help of guys like yourself. Thank you Guzzi.

    Nice work! I used a shrinker/stretcher in the USAF, mainly for aluminum. It was a bit more industrial. The foot pedal was a pendulum with a weight on it. You would swing it back and forth in a rhythm rather than individual pushes. Worked a little more incrementally. It was probably 30 years old in the 80’s.

I did luck out with one tool I needed; a 12 volt diesel fuel transfer pump. gets the job done fast, and I didn't have to rebuild it before I used it. Otherwise, most of their lineup is throwaway. To be fair, a friend of mine bought a large roll around tool box from H.F. and it was impressive. A far better value than what Craftsman or Snap-on offered.

Did a nice job and was able to save a hard to find rood. You should check it out. I think you of all people would be impressed with how he handled this hard area to repair. As for this video. Another great one as always, and very well explained. This is the one special thing you do and you show it being done like the rest of use would have to do it. Keep up the amazing work

    The first time I did this, it taught me a lot. You MUST make sure your repair is spot on. You should use the trim to verify. If it is already polished, cover with one layer of electrical tape. This is a relatively simple repair but your gap lines can turn out tragic if you don’t pay attention. Great repair but poor gaps if you don’t plan for high accuracy. Some finish the repair, attach tape covered trim, then use metal filler to make a nice gap. If you take your time, this is not necessary. A brake, shrink/stretch, throatless shear, and a metal bandsaw are great and limitless tools! Thank you for your video!

      Just use some piano wire ,have someone inside and out run it around to break the seal then lift it out with some suction cups

      Maybe a dumb question. The purpose of seam sealer is to keep water from getting into a welded area? Thankyou for your time Guzzi

    @UnconventionalMetal 2 месяца назад +1

    I have the same ones from HF but I didn’t get the stand with them so I fabricated a stand based on dimensions from a Puddin’s Fab Shop video. They seem to work pretty well and Lazze has a video on how to tune them up if needed.

    Wow! Great video. It's called a Shrinker/ Stretcher right from Harbor Freight? I have no experience to speak of as a welder but I do a little jack leg welding for myself. I have a lawnmower shop. I have a 1971 Monte Carlo with rust spots. I'm willing to try to repair it myself if at all possible. Keep the videos coming so I can learn. But I only have a wire welder.😅

    • @guzzifabrication3448
      @guzzifabrication3448  2 месяца назад +1

      1971 Monte Carlo's are cool ! the wire welder is fine, I would strongly suggest 75/25 shielding gas as opposed to flux core running your welder for sheet metal work. Thanks for supporting the channel !
