Hammering and Welding the Austin-Healey 3000 Shroud
We're back on the Healey shroud. This video has a lot of banging going on. Wray has to adjust the opening for the grill and adjust the lower section of the shroud. He uses his caulking tool to arrange any minor details and then takes out the big ACME hammer to move the metal around. There are a few splits that he has to weld up to move forward with certain areas of the shroud. We are coming close to the end of the Shroud Saga, one more video to finalize any arrangement flaw and then it's all planishing from there.

Wray, it was very satisfying to watch all the improvements that were made in this video. I knew that area around the grille would be tricky, and you're definitely 'over the hump' with that now! For what it's worth, I prefer seeing the welding WITHOUT the blue filter that Mark sometimes uses.
Mr. Covell watches the same videos that I do. imagine that.
Have you also been watching that young guy, Toby Southan Metalcraft? He's a from the UK. He has been posting more videos lately and I think you might like him.
@@fixinstuff9662 he is legit good.
I hate filming with the filter so I'm glad you prefer it without. I guess that settles that one, Thanks Ron!
This certainly shows the dedication and perseverance needed for a task like this. very awakening . Thanks for the confidence building.
Thanks for persisting on this panel gentlemen.
It's been incredible to watch the transformation of the shroud! You make a great point about having information. I wonder if it would be beneficial to hold off on final planishing until you have a fender and upper grille piece? Years ago an old hot rodder told me to mock up every component on a car before you commit to finishing anything, as even an insignificant part can create nightmares later on. His advice has helped to avoid a lot of potential disasters over the years, whether it be collision damage, restoration or hot rods. I still find myself getting over confident and lazy from time to time, which results in having to eat humble pie and do costly rework.
I agree totally! I do collision repair for living, and it really is much easier to do final assembly after paint etc, when you have been doing a proper mock up when doing bodywork. And it´s faster way overall I think, when You don´t have to fight with it at the end.
Thanks Wray. I’m enjoying this series very much.
Thank you Wray, methodical, patient and perfect.
Hope the winner’s enjoy the chance they just got!
I sure am glad you decided to stay on the 3000.
Glad you're sticking it out on the Healy shroud for the channel fans.
Haha new boot scootin. Lol
Perfect... it's nice to see a project all the way through .
Thanx for continuing on with the Healey. I have learned a tremendous amount. Now I to practice what you preach!
Metal is clay, I just got the Rust 911, works great. I’m cleaning the all the jag interior hardware and it’s taking the mild surface rust off beautifully.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Eagerly awaiting the next ! , great series! can't wait to see the finish. I'm feeling every blow of the hammers , because I do similar work. Thumbs up ! thanks!
Awesome job by the way
Thanks Wray excellent video
I love how quiet the hammering is.
If that’s how it was in real life I might be able to hear what my wife’s says to me. 🤣
Amazing transformation one hit at a time.
Very interesting watching you fix the Healy, I’m planning to use the information here to do the body work on my 35 Ford. Thanks again.
I love it , incredible progress. I’d love to stop in and see the shop if I’m in your neck of the woods. You Da Man!!!
Watching for lessons to apply to the Project Barchetta Alfa. See you in Friday.
What seems to be missing is some vertical templates that span the grill insert opening, from up by the hood opening and down to the lowest part. Sorry, difficult to put this into words.
Keep up the good work, JIM
Most interesting- What tig welder recommendation for beginner - Thanks for making video!
why not make one of your flexible patterns and use it on the damaged side? .. do they not work on an already formed panel that is damaged?
From the same person you borrowed the hood, couldn't you also make an exact template from his front nose, in order to shape your nose piece? Or perhaps reach out to Jay Leno, for sending you a template. He may respond since he is a MA native and respects other restoration efforts.
Wray, I can send you pictures of the grille surround from inside because it is mounted on studs. Let me know if this helps. Best of luck.
Nice that you do the research and we reap the benefit....and that you share all the knowledge....by the way what's the soft dolly made out of?
Leather and number nine shot. We make and sell them. see them at the website www.proshaper.com
The grill is beginning to look more even from side to side.
Hi Wray, any plans on updating us on the progress of the A-H shroud?
Wondering, what if one made up a tool tip of delrin for an air hammer and used it in a similar fashion as you used your chisel like tool with the hammer. Could you gently slide it along across surfaces and into and out of corners as though you were molding clay? You wouldn't necessarily be pushing hard just finessing the metal with a smoothing motion?
Watch a stone carve and see what I am getting at, where as he is removing material you would be moving material?
With this method, you would not require an assistant to hold any dolly or backup, you wouldn't need to hold the punch and tap it with the hammer, just hold the air tool and the dolly. Then the art and craftsmanship comes into it!

Aren't there some pieces that rivet on?

Do you have any recommendations for cleaning up Chrome ? I just got my first 59 Chevy truck and want to clean up all the chrome but want to make sure I do it correctly without damaging
Just a novice question but is it possible that where the grille sits it needs to go in but the bottom needs to come out? Essentially rotating the section?
Great work as always guys!
One request, please don't speed up the welding action. There is a lot to learn from the technique that gets missed for inexperienced TIG welders when the footage is sped up.
I think what we all want to know is…. Where does Wray find such salubrious workshop footwear?
Can you shrink aluminum with torch like steel I have never worked with aluminum body's
yes!
What model Everlast welder do you use?I want one.
On everyone of my videos the link to my Amazon store is there. You can buy it there. www.amazon.com/shop/proshaper
Hi just to let you no the denice colins of black mounten jeeps like big healey,s he mite hell you out with part to get the grill better
Wray
How long to make it from scratch?
It depends on the quality of the surface information. If you have a full surface to take flexible shape patterns and profile gauges and if you can hammer form on the surface you have the best of all worlds. Everybody always wants to know "how much to make one"? "how many hours to make one" ?
How accurate? What thickness metal? Everybody thinks that all body panels are created equal- they are not.
I watched all the other videos, where is the finished shroud? If you wonder why your viewers wander off and and you aren't getting top subscriber numbers, this could be a clue.
My business is not RUclips, I have to make time for it. Most people want instantaneous results, they wander off because they want to see finished projects done in one video. If you time lapse it they want the details which get edited out. There are two audiences the majority that wants to be entertained in short 10 minute videos and another tiny audience that wants to hear and see every detail. There are not enough of the second audience to make it worth your while as a creator. I have given the problem of slow audience growth much thought and it looks like I might have to change directions.
