Just to update you Nick, had 90 mins in the garage using the dolly on/off techniques and what an improvement!!! Some of those dents that i thought would never go and have to be filled, ARE GONE !!! So impressed and thanks again Nick, Joe ❤
Really good example of the quality teaching you give all of us. Loved the transparent sheet metal video too, it did help me a lot and I thank you for that one. Hey Nick can you do it again but teach us how to in the English wheel. Please🙏 a few years back I watched a guy run a 58-9 Chevy front guard through a wheel and I was amazed how straight he made it. My understanding of a wheel is to stretch in 2 different direction directions or linearly with a rubber band. I have just bought a cheap one and now modifying it to work as it should. I/we would love a shop tour of tools you use and have made. 😊
Hi Paul, Thanks very much! I'll be working on a new wheeling video soon. In the mean time have you checked out this one ruclips.net/video/RLwb71hJxy4/видео.html It's for the Indian motorcycle fender Also, check out the M40C 40 Ford playlist. There are a number of wheeling videos for that car and pick up truck. Thanks for your support!
You're the Bob Ross of metal shaping. Its actually refreshingly calming watching your demeanor.... except for when you went at the panel with the bfh.😂😂 Even Bob had his moments when he'd 'beat the devil' out of a brush. Great presentation! Hope people appreciate what you do and that you get more views.
Another invaluable one Nick. The two links were so helpful also and it really gets to how to take it to the next level. The panels I am working will need a little filler, but I am going to give them a whole lot more work after this vid to hopefully improve the finishes that I already have. So this vid is a little humbling and makes me realise how far I have to go, but it's all learning and I'm loving it, thanks again, Joe.
Nice. You make it look super easy. I've been playing with a piece of sheet metal for a while now practicing and it's not easy. Great work. Thanks for the video
Another great teaching video. And you did all that with essentially six tools, if you count the vise and sanding block. That's not enough tools. What's the point in having 35 hammers if you don't drag them all out, every time you do a project? But seriously, I've found that when I'm shrinking metal, I do better when one tool is soft. Steel on steel is how we stretch metal. So, I use different materials, usually wood. But I do have a hand-held shot bag, a shot dolly. I even have a hockey puck. Or, going the other way I have wooden mallets to use against steel post dollys or anvils. One thing I love about this is there's so many ways to do it. Great Job Nick.
Great TIP on the soft tools! If I do another video on this topic I'll pull them out. This episode was aimed at a guy who needs help 'taking business' before his wife sees it using tools easily obtained from a local auto store. Initially, I thought of using a 16oz hammer... then changed my mind as I would loose all cred. lol! Thanks for watching Dan 👍 And thanks for the tip on different materials as a backer. I'm sure guys will find that helpful.
Good tutorial Nick it made it easy to understand the process, re the slapper was it basically flat ?, the S&P slapper I have is convex in both directions which I am guessing would be for high crown work as opposed to flatter profiles as in the video. Cheers Greg
That large slapper is slightly convex for low crown panels such as the one in the video. I have others with more shape to them as well. Thanks for watching Greg!

Hi Nick, have you done any work on aluminium bodies? Do you think using a Jag XJ8 wouldwoek as base car?
Aluminium can get a little tricky.
👍
2 hammers and one dolly, Sounds like filth 😅
lol!! 👍
