- Metal shaping the second part of a new boot lid skin aluminium for BMW 3.0 CSL.
Step 2/4: shaping the large panel.
This panel is deliberately left undershaped, a little flatter than it should be. This will make it possible to arrive at the correct shape after welding, when we make the final pass on the english wheel.

Always nice to see you at work. Keep it up!
Thanks - that makes sense. Mike
Hello Brother short video
Добре, але мало )
Good, but not enough)
Interesting that you are under shaping the main panel. Tig tacking at the end of the video looks difficult.. Can you explain why sometimes you wheel the panel at 45 degrees?
Thanks, Mike
if you use different track patterns, It allows you to have a better finish
Quelle est la plus grosse différence entre travailler l'aluminium ou l'acier ?
(Ne me répondez pas le poids 😂)
Why do you have a piece of metal supporting the panel on the far side of the wheel? Never seen that before
That is a great idea, it supports the panel for a one man operation so that the shape is controlled during the wheeling.
I was contemplating commenting on that myself.
It is unbelievable how the shape changes on an E9 boot lid, it is deceptive any excess shape in the screen end and you may as well trow it away and start again.
I own an E9 and I look at the bonnet and boot lid all the time from a fabricators standpoint even though my car needs neither panel, I have a true survivor.
On large panels, the piece will distort just from having the weight of an overhanging panel consistently applied to only one end. The support makes what is normally a 2-person job (to support 4 corners) into a 1 person job. Its a clever solution.
@@rexjames0015 exactly
@@slgclassiccars4098 Peter Tommasini explains it well in some of his videos. Strangely I have never seen him use a table support.
Sadly it is a lifetime learnt skill and when you master it you are on your decline physically.
It is a wonderful art
@@mikeg5877 Exactly, when wheeling generally you need to wheel a panel holding it in the perimeter form of the final panel.
Of course there are sometimes exceptions particularly towards the end
