    I watch your channel as well as a few others that do custom work and restoration and I have to say that you and Carter Auto Restyling do the most in depth welding and hammering tutorials that show how it can be done with very little if any filler when done. Awesome work! Not to take anything away from the other masters like Wray Shelin or some of the other master craftsmen too, but the time spent in explanation and technique are more entertaining I guess.At least for me.

    Your first person who hammers his tacks like my grandfather taught me. Only he would sometimes put small dimple, fill and hammer till panel fit. He claimed the small dimples were easier to feel with dolly and added stiffness. But we didn't have disc shrinker either. Amazing how you flow the metal on large panels

    Karl you are my hero! Thank you for your content once again you bring what you do to a level that I completely understand. I have been a builder myself for a long time but has always been by the school of hard knocks instead of being taught. I have many gifted friends who can do the work, but struggle to explain what is actually happening with the metal. When you do the work somehow you can make it so that in my minds eye I can envision exactly what the metal is doing. I am really ready to get back in the garage. Thank you again for sharing your gift.

    Hey bud, I'm a fabricator at Coachwerks Restorations. A little tip you may like to try while tacking your panels; we use a 1" drywall mud knife about 10" from your tack to keep a gap and alignment. It still shrinks but not as bad. At the same time, hammer dolly the tacks as you go along. Not much, one or two taps just to relax the shrink. What will help with shrinking and alignment as well is keeping tacks on a lower amp, and tighter together. I'd say 1/2" between tacks. Three or four tacks, hammer dolly lightly. Once your tacks are done, there's more rigidity for the full welds and less shrinkage. I don't do any more than 2" welds, if you can move fast on a low amp. Again, hammer dolly those welds as you go along, nice and light. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.
