Excellent! Thanks for sharing 😎
Thank you !!
Going to be using a stretcher for the first time today. Thanks.
That's awesome ! you are going to have fun !
Thank you for making this!
Im off to put it into practice on a 92 volvo 245 🤣
Awesome, Volvo wagons are cool.
Nice job on that. It got you another sub.
I love fabrication and have a passion for old school cars and trucks.
Thank you for your support !!
Love your channel. Awesome vids
Thanks for your support!
Awesome work!
Thanks !
Very nice work.
Thank you !
Nice work. I needed some inspiration for a convertible header I'm repairing. I need to bend a channel for the tack strip and it's proving to be a little difficult to get right.
This tool will do it, there are really expensive shrinker / stretchers BUT I bought this one at harbor freight, it's very affordable. Good luck with the tack strip channel
Hey that was a pretty slick repair!
Thanks !
Skills!!
Thanks !
Gees made that look easy. You should still wipe down panel with prepsol or paint prep or whatever to remove the finger grease. Looks good.
thanks for watching !
Thanks mate from Our Side of the Pond! Great video - you made it look so easy. What am I doing wrong? These jobs for me ALWAYS turn into such Epics!! For Queen & Country - I shall persevere!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video ! Trust me plenty of times I've had to throw away a piece that I had a lot of time and effort in...... sometimes you get lucky the first time. Thanks for watching !
I just went through all of this with my 65 Impala (window frames and trunk seal gutter) and wanted to check out how you guys did it. As a do it yer selfer, I don't have the shear or the brake, so I would have made that in 2 pieces and welded them together. I would like to have all of that stuff... but there just isn't enough room in the garage
good job, as long it got done.
I get this area is not that critical. And more panels will go over this area to rebuild the window lip. The repair left some extra metal that wasn't originally there. Not sure if you were gonna remove that or just leave it. I like to watch alot of different peoples methods on rust repair that use metal instead fillers. Nice Job.

Thanks !
👏👏👏
Thank you !!!
Lovin these vids mate, did you grind the weld smooth? If so what do you use on such thin material?
Keep em comin!
Greetings from England 👍🏼
Yes I dressed the welds, I first used a 3M Green Corps Reinforced Weld Grinding Wheel, 01991, 3 in x 3/16 in x 3/8 in on the edge of the weld then a flap wheel to blend, and finished the area with a mini 3" dual action sander with 80 grit. I didn't get too aggressive grinding, just knock down and blend the weld. Thanks for watching !
@@guzzifabrication3448 thanks buddy, ive recently started working with very thin sheet (down to 0.5mm) after a career in heavy fabrication so you can imagine im like a bull in a china shop if i have a momentary lapse of focus!
Cant wait for more vids.
Yes I did grind it down to blend it
Thanks for the lesson . Just subscribed man. PS : do you use rust remover or rust converter to chemically remove small rust dots/spots in nooks and crannies after getting to bare metal?
Thanks for subscribing ! usually rust converter or a good encapsulator like POR 15 and cover both front and back of the affected metal if possible.
I usually use like the wire brush or a pic to pick out all the little flakes of rust if there is … Or I’ll cut all that rust out and weld a new metal whatever works
@@guzzifabrication3448 I love 415 one time they wanted me to do a review on A rusty fender or door and they would send me some poor 15 hadn’t heard for them in a while and all the sudden they send me a gallon of pour 15 good product I still have to do the review
Awesome work! Approximately how many amps are you using on your TIG?
That was a couple of years ago, don't recall but the rule of thumb is 1 amp per 1000th inch thickness of material.
When you have a 3/4 wide flange like that only insert it half way into the shrinker. When you bury it all the way in it will pull the piece into a curve in the Y axis as well as the X. If you go half way it will only curve in the X axis.
The piece formed exactly the way I intended....usually when people start talking x axis - y axis on a simple 90... that usually shows more book time than seat time..... thanks for watching
@@guzzifabrication3448 I used to have issues with edges deforming in 2 dimensions sometimes, but I caught that tip about only inserting the flange part way into the tool from both Lazze Metal Shaping and Wray Schelin at Pro Shaper Sheet Metal. It solved the problem. Gene Winfield famously quips “Every day Is a school day” and he’s 95 years old. Good luck with your channel.
What brand of shrinker stretcher are using? I've been looking to purchase one how much did it cost?
That's actually a harbor freight unit, it works well as long as you don't over power it, You can go to their website for current price. Thanks for watching !

Nice job. I just subscribed so show me more. Jeff
Thanks for the subscription ! video page 88+ videos, looking for any topic in particular?
@@guzzifabrication3448 always fighting welding of rusty old body metal. ( rat rods)
What is the name of the machine you use to bend the metal?
A metal brake
not the brake the piece that shaped the curve
It's called a shrinker/stretcher
Hi What is that piece of equipment to bend the part?
Shrinker/stretcher machine
Lolz even IF i have a cut line, i still cant cut straight for shit 😢
Thanks! Can you tell the name of the tool used on this minute? 5:04
Air nibbler, thanks for watching !
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thanks! Can you tell the model too?
@@jaivigo each company has their own part number just Google Air nibbler
