Mark another great video. I appreciate you showing how long it really takes and how much work goes into making it right. Keep it up. I am learning a lot.
Just found this channel and I really like the different parts of repair you do to these cars and trucks. I really appreciate this video on getting rid of oil-canning. I always try to understand what is happening and what the thought process is to repairing it. Would definitely like to see more of that!
Thanks and welcome to the channel. I have 3 series and over 180 videos so check them out. You will probably like the 1050 Chevy Truck series from start to finish. I was just starting the channel then so forgive the low production quality. More to come on Project Ruby so stay tuned. Mark
Thanks for sharing. I have one of those heat guns but I have not seen it used in that way. I learned something today and my wife didn't have to teach me. :) Have a great week!
Those that use them swear by shrinking discs. It might be the idea tool to use to handle all those little highs. Anyway, great work and great tip (literally) to use the spot welder tips in the stud gun. I have a Unispotter (the original manufacturer) and forked out for one of their shrinking tips. It wasn’t cheap! A package of two spot welder replacement tips is less than half the cost. Oh, and I hope you didn’t ruin one of your shop shirts when you spilled the blue ink!
I actually don't have much need to shrink these days since I learned from all the mistakes in my youth taking dents out incorrectly. Never used a disc shrinker or own one but I plan on checking them out on Amazon. I was working off camera so the shirt was hanging up luckily. Would have looked like tie died work shirt if not. Mark
Im still catching up on the back videos when i can i really enjoy these videos you have great ideas a few i might have to steal i see these going much further as time goes by and yes i need to catch up on the truck and chevelle i think it was but ill get to them thanks again
It is surprising how a few well placed dots can get rid of extra surface area. I used to think you had to quench too but then I saw a guy with almost pin point tips do what I did with awesome success. Way harder to make things worse this way. Mark
Another great video. I have a question: you do good work, could you make a video showing what tools you would use to take on a hobby such as this. Keep up the good work.
Doug, You could probably do it with the one with a hole in it but Harbor Freight sells replacement tips for their spot welder. I just emailed you a snip of the info. Mark
Hi, Mark. Great video! I have a question about technique. Much like working dents in general, when you begin shrinking the oil can dent, is it best to start around the perimeter and then work toward the center? I’m thinking that small shrinkage around the outside might pull the center into shape and require less drastic shrinks in the center. What does your experience suggest?
Hi Ralph, I try and eye the oil can as I pop it in and out and look for clues where the extra metal is. In this case I could see like a button towards the middle with a little drift upwards so I started in the middle and worked outward. Since the spot is so small I don't think it is as critical as using a small tipped torch. In my experience the center is usually my problem and the rest of the surrounding metal comes along for the ride. Mark

Thanks Mark. As usual I learned a lot. I appreciate your no BS approach to your project. Thank you for your time.
I got all the BS out of me when I was younger I hope 😉 Always been a straight shooter like my father raised me to be.

Thanks Ron, it takes way longer than most lead you to believe. I am not the fastest or the best but I am thorough.

Very nice, Mark. That was really slick how the welder worked. I have had one of those stud guns on my Christmas list for a while !Thanks.
Thanks, nice to be able to get multiple uses out of a tool. It worked very well.

I had held about this trick but never saw it done....
Now I have great video, love to learning....
It was a great suggestion by a subscriber, I am always learning too.

Another really nice video Mark. I’ll likely have a bunch of oil canning on the ‘49. These techniques will be a huge help!
Hopefully not but you can totally handle them. Less is more so give it a lot of thought before you jump into applying heat.
Great video , no need to quench it , cool 😎

Good Job Mark.
Thanks Dave, I appreciate that.
Another great video. I have a question: you do good work, could you make a video showing what tools you would use to take on a hobby such as this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I will make a video showing the basics l used for years. You really don't need that much to paint a car. I will make the video soon.

Great video Mark, thanks for sharing. Since I already purchased that stud welder, where can I get one of those tips to shrink the metal?
