Fabricating a Mk1 Ford Capri front wing repair section
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
One of many Capri repair panels that we make.
"Its big, heavy, overengineered" I see no problem with that for a tool that you want to make once and use until you are no longer capable; at which point it gets sold to someone looking for something that will last their working lifetime, and so on.
Yeah, gone in 60 seconds days with Nicolas Cage very good film very good actor as well. I like the film myself Cordell Eleanor the Mustang. I like myself as well still do now.😮😮😮😮
This is definitely fitted with a Mk1 face-lift bonnet the change was to accommodate the larger headlamps and the indicators were moved to the bumper.
Amazing work. Would it not be easier on the square holes do only to small alignment holes until after its stretched and then broach the rectangles to exact size after that? Would allow more metal to draw from when stretching that final dimpled shape.
I think if you wanted them holes to be 0.0001 tolerance then doing them afterwards would be a better way to go but I think they only take a plastic clip so plus or minus 0.1mm shouldnt cause an issue.
У вас відпустка??? Куди ви зникли, як справи з Capri?)
Thanks for contacting me. Wish I was on holiday...haha. Currently working on an XK140 and an HG monaro. Slowly progressing my own Capri. Getting close to finally welding on one of the new rear quarter panels. Finding time and something film worthy is on my todo list...
@@elliotawахаха) в мене також є такий лист - два роки як збираюсь нове відео зробити і викласти в ютуб. Але мені часу завжди не вистачає))) Не треба робити режисерське кіно, досить і маленького видео про поточні справи з новими авто та Capri))) Пам'ятаю ви хотіли збільшити штамп на капоті - а що з цього вийшло, невідомо)
@@elliotaw переглянув як виглядають Jaguar і ваш Holden - ні, робіть велике кіно)))
Very nice.. I have a few questions do you sell these patches? if yes how much? How accurate is the body line/ straight line crease in the patch panel? Did you use a good original wing as a template? Thanks.
Hi, yes I sell quite a few of these patches, bit of a common problem area on the Mk1 capri. www.etsy.com/au/shop/ElliotsCapriParts
I have been doing this with floor pans. First I 3d scan, then 3d print the die set and smash them out.
👍👍👍!!!
I had a 1973 Capri Crayford in red. Only made 17 of them. You've done an enormous amount of work. Should be beautiful when finished, very skilled.
Got another capri in the shop now, i think they must grow on trees.....
Excellent panel work, a very instructive video 👌
Many thanks!
My dad had a 1968 series 1.5 4.2cc. wonderful cars and your work is exceptional. Looking forward to its progress.
Не вірю, це неможливо) Де відео процесу виготовлення?))
Beautiful work there Elliot.... Peter picked the right person to take over the shop.
Thanks 👍
One of the most beautiful cars of it time! But you built one that looks perfect! Thanks
Very nice work, thanks for sharing
Stunning in bare steel!
Gorgeous work! I hope to someday have part of that skill
Lead work isnt difficult as long as you follow the process without taking shortcuts
Nice to see a video from you. Always look forward to what your doing. Cheers
Would love to do more videos, its finding the time thats the problem...
Brilliant 👍
great work Elliot if you ever want CNC machine a big buck or die from hard wood for this kind of thing please reach out to me mate I'm local to you and have a big CNC router
Sounds good, can never have too many contacts. Cheers
Amazing restoration, a lot of fabrication of new panels. Fantastic workmanship 👍👍
Brilliant work and very informative video. Thanks 👍👍
I get most of my heavy steel chunks from a local scrap yard effectively for peanuts. Your design is not over engineered in my book, this sort of machine always better if it's rigid. I built my own English wheel and it's heavy, very heavy! But it responds really well and doesn't flinch. I am interested in how you plan to secure the second side plate and still transfer the forces into it, or are you just planning to use it as a removable lid rather than a stressed member... Having seen your web design which I think is really neat, I would have inserted solid 25 or 30 mm Dia. steel bobbins at each intersection in the web and doweled the lid to the base with 12mm dowels, if you follow me? That would increase the rigidity a lot. Either that or tight fitting bolts. My only slight criticism of your dialogue is you repeated several key points, for example, the inverter can stop the motor without ramp down, this sort of info, once is enough, we are listening! No worries, just saying, NOT getting at you, I know it's not easy to dialogue a video. Robert
Haha.. im shocking at speaking to a microphone, out of my comfort zone 100 percent. The other side plate is now fitted.. fully weld prepped around the perimeter and mig,d to death. I took a template of all the interior webbing, transferred that to the other side plate and drilled 30 or more big diameter holes and hot welded the whole assembly into one rigid piece. Its taken a bit of work with heat and hydraulic pressing to get all back within spec. Working on the stand at the mo.
😂
very interesting!! when comes part 2 or a demonstration how the bead roller works?
Its coming.. ive been working on the stand recently. Spare time to work on it is thin on the ground at the moment... as always
Nice work mate!
Thanks
Great series so far! Please take it all the way to the end!
We will for sure, dont worry
@@elliotaw Thank you!!
great work guys, as always... By looking at the video people can`t imagine how physically hard it is to shape on a bag with a hammer that size. No bounce just a dead blow and lifting that hammer again. Impressive Peter...yer a machine! 👀
He is when he gets going
You are both verry talented people please more uploads we've missed you
Were both very fortunate to be able to follow our passion 8 hours a day.
Гарне кіно, нажаль швидко закінчилося) Чи будете наводити більш гострі лінії капелюха? Такі як лінія фар уздовж капота...
The front end of the bonnet will be close to original
Вітаю, добра робота. Гарно, що ви прагнете внести свій стиль у своє авто, в прямому розумінні) Успіхів вам та здоров'я. А вздовж даху не маєте бажання подовжити лінії капелюха капота???))
Another great video thanks guys Johnny
Thanks for watching
Amazing skill, I am not sure they teach this these days.
In hot rod shops they do. I know there is english wheel lasses here in Norway.
There are courses available but like a game of chess.. it takes a moment to learn the basics but a lifetime to master
I am a huge Ford Capri fan having had three, a MK1 1.6L 1971, and two MK3's, a 1.6L and my favourite a MK3 3.0S. Amazing skill, Subscribed.
Ive owned a few capris and theyve all been 2.8i's.
I don't think you realize just how talented you are. Fabulous work.
Im lucky to work in an area im passionate about.
Nice work there Elliot.... Experience sure helps when doing something like that. Must be great for you to have someone like Peter to work alongside.
We both have different skill sets so it can be good to bounce off each other.
Super cool!
Thanks
Looking good, glade to see you doing the videos on the nice work you and Peter do with metal. Pleas make more videos.
Dont mind doing the filming but the editing is so time consuming.. see how we go
@@elliotaw Просто не вимикайте камеру)
Amazing transformation flat sheet metal into a beautiful shape! That's skill and talent.
amazing to see this develop
It is. Be transformative when the front of the bonnet gets started.
nice! so much to learn.. look forward to pt2.
Every day's a school day
thanks for the interesting video Elliot & Peter. very impressive. is Peter still working on the Ferrari 196 he started a couple of years ago, if so, does he have anymore videos of that project?
Not at the moment. Peter is concentrating on another series of videos.
Brilliant, already looks fantastic. Size of the blocking hammers surprised me. Can't wait for part 2 .... hurry up! 😂
Hammers not big enough for you ?
@@elliotaw not at all .... surprised how big they were. Great to see.
@@Squintanditsmint I hear that a lot 😉
You just don't see them anywhere else like that. What with Peter's reputation and all I'm definitely taking that to the bank. Cheers
Great work looking forward to seeing more videos
Thanks..
Great job Elliot and Peter, that's looking awesome already even at this early stage. I'm always very inspired to get to the shed for more practice after watching Peter work. Also I like the editing style of the video
Peter works very naturally with a hammer in his hand, maybe he was born with it ? haha. I appreciate the comment about the editing, I'm attempting to do it all myself and im still very much a novice, its a steep learning curve thats for sure.
Fantastic work fellas! To see the time lapse from start to finish is really instructive; for example needing three people and the variety of tools.. Wonderful to see the master at work!
Even though I've tried to show every stage and every hammer blow, there was originally 4 hours of footage to edit down. If I put up every minute of it, you'd all be asleep by now lol.
Master class! Most would have shaped the bulge up seperately and welded it into place (myself included) though i can see the benefits of yours/Peters choice not to take the easier to manage route. I'm newish to your videos and enjoy them very much! Thanks to all for the videos.
Not sure it would be so simple to make the bulge and weld it in after due to where do you place the weld either side as there is a return at the side of the bulge and then only a short horizontal section before another return.
Friggen awesome result so far. Not even a small blemish anywhere outside of the bulge.
Not yet... there will be... haha
Elliot, Nice work going on there..... Good to see Peter is staying active.... Enjoyed seeing some of your profile layout and placement. The stiffener clipped to the front of the panel was a great idea to help hold shape. Looking forward to the next video on this panel. Cheers,
Thanks for the comments, the stiffener helped immensely, one of Peters ideas obviously...
That's amazing and I will be waiting for the next part 2! 👍
Hopefully wont be to long.. im working on a bead roller as well as other projects...
I can see how peter got his popeye forearms 😄 is there any chance of going right through on the sandbag? have you seen retropowercars hammer forming mk1 escort arches on a polyurethane buck?
I wouldnt say theres absolutely no chance but ive never seen it happen. Metal will move a fair bit before it fatigues.. especially aluminium
Havent seen retropowers buck.. will search it out, cheers
