Hi Wray, I like what you are doing. I am about the same age, started out in UK as apprentice plating welding at 16. Now rebuilding a Land Rover Series and found your site looking for aluminum bodywork. You are a great teacher. Les. Live south shore Boston.
I have had hundreds of Canadians take my class over the last 18 years. Canadians always excel, they take the class very serious and give their best. I have Fred from Quebec City coming next week. Fred is a perfectionist. He also has a TH-cam channel in French. Axius Garage
@@proshaper You are one amazing man Wray Schelin I just don't have time for anything beacuse of COVID-19 virus I have been helping out with employees that need time off or want time with there families when I have time I will have to come and take courses from you Wray bye 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW respect back to you for writing ✍ back to me Domenico Monteleone
If that was me standing there instead of that gentleman I would say I’m not signing any autographs today. A star is born. There’s no question about it you have the ability to teach people good stuff. When I learned to weld fortunately I knew a little bit and my instructor helped me improve. Not all people have the ability to teach as you know.
Wray - Just shows how good a teacher you are to impart that level of skill to a willing student in as few as 10 days. I so want to find a way to make it work for me to get the funds and time to come from Aus and do the same. I just need to get my act together - but first i need to stash a way the funds to do it.
nice metal shaping fender job. just before watching this video i was watching shaping reverse curves with william tromley, he does aircraft metalshaping. couple of good points there too
Wray, I teach too- not metal shaping - but the principles are the same. If you know what you are doing, and students believe and do what you tell them then the results speak for themselves: everyone is a winner! I would love to take your class, but I'm in Japan. Hopefully one day I can find the time and resources to study with you. Thanks for the great content!
I had the MGA series 1.5 they only made a few hundred of them! They have the TwinCam Body better suspension & Brakes but have the new SOC Engine. When they made the series 2 they still had (i cant remember exactly) 350 or so TC Bodies so they made the 1.5! They are the rarest MGA model!!
Hi Wray, it's fascinating how easy you make this work look. You mentioned cheaper tig welders in the video can you share the make / model if you get a chance? Thanks from Ireland !
Turn the flexible shape pattern inside out. All of the profile gauges will have to register in the same location on the inside of the flexible shape pattern.
Fantastic video and amazing work from Ian and Wray what better way to learn than from a master craftsman well done guys ♥️ love the channel keep doing what you do ♥️👍
This is just fantastic! THANKS for sharing. Have you done a video on how to create MIRROR IMAGE parts that go on the opposite side of a car (but you have access to only one good side -- the opposite side -- to model from)??? Can an inside-out flexible pattern be used for that? Thanks again.
So, 130 hours got some training, technique, FSP, and fabrication of one fender for a new student. Not taking anything away from the student. All respect for the accomplishment. How many hours for the Master to create the fender? Thanks for the video.
It is never about the hours it is about the quality. This isn't about making stuff to sell. If you are concerned about hours you are concerned about making money. Ian is retired his goal is learning how to make his car collection whole. To do that he can send his cars out to a shop and spend $100000.00 to $200000.00 per car to be restored or to learn the skills to do the job himself as a retirement project.
Congrats to you both on a nice piece of metal shaping, a question Wray on Tig machines as you have probably used both over the years I have an older 415V (AU) transformer Tig with basically just amperage and ac/dc controls are the newer inverter style Tigs ( like your chinese one) easier to use for a beginner? I am sure the older machine is quite capable of good welds in experienced hands but maybe not so for me as I seem to get very hit and miss results without seeing the issue ( this is on Ali, havent tried ms ) Great Channel by the way Regards Greg
I also have two older Miller welders in the shop one is a 1985 and the other 1983. I use them all the time, they both weld steel or aluminum very well.
Maestro estoy en problemas con los guardabarros de mi plymouth 50 me es difícil darle los ángulos de la curvas en la parte trasera me podría dar una idea como lograrlo ., soy aficionado y fiel seguidor de su canal e aprendido mucho con usted pero mi gran problema es que no tengo mucho recursos , me fabrique mi rueda inglesa con lo que pude creo que ne funciona bastante bien no cómo una de verdad pero es lo que tengo y solo tengo un martillo 😢 porfavor una buena idea me ayudaría mucho saludos desde Cuba
From the best teacher comes the best students! Nice work guys!
Yup I follow Wray Schelin from 🇨🇦#YSW York South Weston Road 401area respect back to you
Love hearing from the students and seeing the work they have accomplished

I'm way beyond impressed. What a feeling of accomplishment Ian must feel?! That aluminum MGA is going to be fast! You know... for an MGA. 😉
Good teaching - Good student - Great results

Looking smooth well done Ian , it looks store bought , and thats as good as it gets .
Looks really like its been done by a master coach builder really has taken his ability to the next level
Good work as always. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Very nice. I'm going to have to review a lot more of your videos. Exactly the kind of sheet metal skill I'd like to learn.

Thanks for taking the time to film and edit these wonderfully clear instructional videos!
I'll be using this system on our Amphicar. I cant wait to show what comes of it!
That is incredible. I'd love to make my 70 mach 1 a widebody.
nice metal shaping fender job. just before watching this video i was watching shaping reverse curves with william tromley, he does aircraft metalshaping. couple of good points there too

Finally I heard "heat affected zone" in automotive welding! As I design and does MI on pressure equipment HAZ is a constant issue.
I had the MGA series 1.5 they only made a few hundred of them! They have the TwinCam Body better suspension & Brakes but have the new SOC Engine. When they made the series 2 they still had (i cant remember exactly) 350 or so TC Bodies so they made the 1.5! They are the rarest MGA model!!
Keeping Twin-Cam MGAs alive is a virtuius calling. :-)*
Awesome - congrats on the work.
Good teacher 👍.
amazing work guys.Any chance you will do video of making aircraft engine intake lip skin 90/180/360/ degrees with Alum 2024 0.063 T0 ?
Hi Wray, it's fascinating how easy you make this work look. You mentioned cheaper tig welders in the video can you share the make / model if you get a chance? Thanks from Ireland !
I have an inexpensive Chinese DC only tig welder in my Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/proshaper
@@proshaper Perfect Wray thanks very much I really appreciate your reply you're a busy man!
Superb work 👏👏👏
Could you show how you have a flexible shape pattern for a right fenders how you take a flexible pattern and make the left fender.
Turn the flexible shape pattern inside out. All of the profile gauges will have to register in the same location on the inside of the flexible shape pattern.
Fantastic video and amazing work from Ian and Wray what better way to learn than from a master craftsman well done guys ♥️ love the channel keep doing what you do ♥️👍
this is amazing
How did he did it?
This is just fantastic! THANKS for sharing.

OMG es perfecto 👌 😮
Que nivel 😮

Nice! I have a 914 I would like to make an aluminum body for.
How would you back gas?
I clamp .023" copper with vise grips on the backside of welds to create a back-gas condition.
@@proshaper which weld planishes better, 3003, 5052, or crs. I cant gas weld alum yet just pulsed tig!
I’m not getting any videos from you Wray , are you off work or you tube ? 👍🇦🇺
More coming soon. Hit the notification bell and you will know when a new video is uploaded.
Hi there wray I'm just wondering what kind of material do you use to make up your patterns with cheers Wayne
I sell the correct tape kits on my website. www.proshaper.com
@@proshaper ok cool wray mate do you ship to Australia at all thanks mate
