Liked and subscribed 👍 As a bodyman of 30yrs I’ve never skinned an aluminum door, especially from scratch. My background is mostly insurance work on newer vehicles with a new skin already pre bent around the edges. I’m surprised the aluminum doesn’t split on the edge once hammered and dollied over. I learned something. Thank you, nice work 🙂
Thanks for your subscription to my channel, it is very much appreciated 👍 Also thank you for taking the time to watch my video, it means a lot. If you have watched the second part of this video, the aluminium did split on the inside of the window frame. Unfortunately, it was so thin by the time it had been stretched around two shapes, I was being so careful as well! Again thanks for taking the time to check out my channel, I really do appreciate it. All the best 👍
Very nice again a retired panel beater I learned to gas weld mild steel in the 70's I was given half a days training in Ally welding failed miserably kept popping holes , I served my time at a Vauxhall dealers in later years I went freelancing and had a small lockup in the 90's ill health forced me to stop , my immune system went crazy and started attacking my kidneys the doctors recon it was caused by the fumes I was breathing in over the years , now 66 been on dialysis 5 years , I did a few restoration Mini's to a Rolls Royce , 1 a year because they drove me up the wall , I used to apply a bead of sealer around the skin before fitting it to prevent moisture being trapped between the panels , lovely job BTW looking forward to watching the build .
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my video, it means a lot to me! I can't gas weld ali at all, that's my dad's department! That's one of the reasons we won't let him retire! Yes it's a story that is told many times, we do the best we can to ventilated the workshop and we have a big extractor fan for the paint fumes. From what I've been told, it wasn't an important consideration in the days before. All the best, good health to you too, sir.
