Making Wider Steel Fenders For A C30 Dually
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Making a pair of 3" wider rear fenders for my friend's Chevrolet C30 Dually to replace the standard fiberglass ones. It was a quite complex and difficult shape to replicate, especially the bottoms, whilst also keeping them as a bolt on like factory.
2 weeks of work crammed into an hour of video using a variety of tools and methods including making Pullmax dies for the wheel arch swage, using the power hammer and english wheel to add shape, and using the bead roller to tip flanges. Overall, it came out pretty decent but as always there is lots of room for improvement, such as if I had a second set of hands to chase minute details and also if I had to do them again, I would change a few processes.
Thanks for watching. Back onto the Mazda Cosmo content this week.

I just keep coming back to watch this over and over again I wish I could make some for my truck that will look that good
It's not something I'll do again 😅 that's for sure
There is a reason why General Motors made the original flares in fibreglass! They couldn't make them out of steel and recover the cost. The finished product is awesome. Thanks for taking the effort to describe the whole work process - hung on to every part of the video. Love your work........
Geez I wish they were steel and I could have just widened them haha it would have saved a tremendous toll on my body 😅
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Learning so much watching ur work thankyou
Glad to hear man, any information passed on is a win.
Gifted metal worker
notevn: "I don't even know what I'm f@kin' doin' here..." Result: Perfection. You're building an amazing understanding as well as tons of experience in metalwork. Incredible results and your work ethics? Second to none.
Thanks mate, it's true, I pretty much wing everything and if it doesn't work I try again until it works 😅 the downfall of teaching yourself, so much failure before anything good happens. Id like to look back in 5 years and see how far I've progressed from here.
@@notevn I think you can look back at how much you've learned already. Its downright impressive.
Good to see a young guy not covered in tattoos 👍
Haha I'd rather spend that money on parts or equipment 😅
Every time I watch your channel, I'm blown away..... Thanks for keeping up the quality of craftsmanship, and you're still learning,. ????. shit mate, you're the Apprentice of the F'n Year material.. Very Professional....a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, I'm pushing for better everyday and forever unhappy with the work from the day before, progress is slow when you are teaching yourself though.
@@notevn I always try to remember, as I was told when doing my apprenticeship, back in the 60's. My German Apprentice master, asked me, "Is it perfect ?". Well, No! but it's good enough for my level of skill, and it's the best I can do. His reply.......Then it's perfect, and good enough. Keep learning my friend, and just do your best.
Love your work. Good content and informative. You present well! Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the watch!
Beautiful job. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Круто, спасибо что ваши видео становятся все прождолжительней и продолжительней)
Your workmanship is second to none I just love this channel
Thanks mate.
Youve gotta go easier on yourself for sure man. Killer job. Would 100% love to see the finished product painted up and on!
Unfortunately am never happy with my own work and will always strive to do better.
Love your content Notevn. Subbed after seeing your first RUclips video. Best for me is your no hype or clickbait style of presentations. Keep it up, the subs will come.
Thanks mate, yeah straight to the point and no drama/clickbait isn't something that will get a big viewership, but that's not what I'm about, rather show newcomer's tips and tricks I wish I knew when I started and also how I remedy the unavoidable mistakes.
Crazy how much work goes into what you’d expect to be pretty simple. I run into the same stuff as a machinist. I love these videos man keep it up.
Yeah definitely caught me off gaurd, I expected a week's work Max and that quickly doubled and kicked my arse 😅 I think people are also so used to seeing a years worth of work crammed into a 5 min video that they forget how much effort goes into things.
14 minute mark is the best explanation of how the thumbnail die works I've ever seen shown/described.
Took me a while to understand them and stop turning as much metal into scrap 😅
@@notevn it's going to be interesting to see if @yorkshirecarrestoration are watching your cosmo restos so they can fix theirs. you definitely have the skills to recover a dropped panel also, frustrating that it is at least you know how to fix it.
Man i would love to try this kind of work and i was really thinking about making some steel ones for my truck but i didn't think this amazing work
Cant hurt to have a try man!
Great work!
Thanks!
Nice job,I was doing the same thing as you up until 4 years ago when I messed my back up. I enjoy your work as it kind of gives me my metal shaping fix also the bad chad reference gave me a laugh. Thanks for the videos.
Sucks to hear man, losing mobility would be be nightmare.
haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the hackery
what a slog! one thing sprang to mind - those lowers just look like a cone with a big flare and a return at the bottom edge, but yeah, easy to say watching someone else do the work. great result.
That's what I thought initially by seeing photos haha, it was only a few days in when I got to making them that I realised how much work that shape would be to replicate 😅
great work son .....................peace
Cheers mate
I think you would be killer at making group c flares😊
I think they'd be way easier than these, but I think they are fiberglass so they can just be mass produced and replaced when damaged in a race.
Amazing to see the sheet manipulator at work
My body is still sore from this one 😅
This was an ordeal specially if u r doing it manually
Epic amount of work, they look awesome, I only hope your mate doesn’t side swipe the thing. It looks seriously wide
So wide lol, barely fit out the roller-door
WOW😲 you’re a bloody legend…I’m so glad I’m subscribed
just a self taught monkey here so thanks for the watch and the sub.
That would be pushing the limits of maximum legal width.
Well it got out my rollerdoor and it's just slimmer than my trailer, so I guess it's legal🤷♂️it's Australia though so probably jail time for even making the fender
I wanna say you do some beautiful work im a metal man myself ive been contemplating doing the same thing because i hate fiberglass. And i dont like working with it. The replacement ones are almost 400 dollars id rather do them out of metal.
So so much work haha, 2 weeks of my life here, very unexpected amount of effort to replicate.
Nice work , swinging a hammer on a shot bag is soul destroying .
Haha absolutely, fast way to have Popeye arms and arthritis 😅
Absolutely awesome work mate
Thanks mate
I really enjoy this channel, you make it look easy!
Thanks for watching man, it's definitely harder than it looks but it's also not black magic, it's just having the right knowledge and applying the right techniques, which is hard when you're self teaching because it ends up not doing what you want most of the time until you figure it out 😅
Loving the content such a lot of work, be great if you had a remote mic for better audio
Thanks mate, yeah the mic situation is weird. I use my Bluetooth headphones and normally they are clear but I think when it's leaning on my shirt the wrong way or something it becomes muffled. I also mumble so that doesn't help😅
@@notevn I bought a cheap £5 Bluetooth mic off eBay and it’s been great, something like that maybe worth a punt just as a comparison like your work it’s the small things that make the final outcome so good keep up the good work can’t wait for the next episode 👍
Awesome video
Thanks for watching
Ive had thoughts of doing mine in steel. I hate fiberglass lol
How much you charge for that kind of job. Thanks.
It all varies, it's by the hour, but this was for a friend so not really compareable to a normal job.
And now we all know why they were originally made in glass.
Yeah so massive to be pressed also.
I wish i could get stock size steel ones
I have seen pictures of standard steel ones and I I under the impression that they came steel on the very first versions.
@@notevn ya they are expensive for fiberglass not a lot of people work with fiberglass anymore I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to make square ones that follow the body line of the bed down close to where the face is on the stock ones And then make my side squared on the side down make it easier on myself I mean it'll look better probably when I have on my truck now lol
How much for the old fenders. Lol
If this aint art....
Art is pain it seems 😅
