Watching this makes my head spin, taking a flat sheet of metal and turning it into a quarter panel is mind boggling. Oh to have such talent. Fantastic job. Thanks
I remember some years ago you were on an automotive panel show on channel 31. I was mesmerized by your skill of crafting a flat piece of metal into something magic.
This inspires me to get cracking with my own home projects. I have a english wheel and I need to learn how to use it properly, that why I just bought your DVD's, and look at your stuff on MetalMeet. Metalmeet is such a great sight to find guys like you with talent and that are willing to share and teach. Thanks heaps! - John
Absolutely fabulous work . An artisan . I've repaired and restored cars for 51years and l genuinely think l'm top drawer but your work is on another level . This clip is pretty old so l do hope you're still beating and wheeling . Fantastic . Thanks for sharing .
How is that humanly possible? Here I sit mighty proud of the jackmounts and portions of the floor I fabbed for my ford Taunus, and then I see this. Just incredible. You guys should have some sort of award.
one of few men out of 7 billion to be able to produce from scratch with just tools and a sharp eye a near metal press fit(the machine that produces the body panel) of a full panel. if anyone comes across a car worked on by this man, just know its worth every fucking penny cos of the work he and his team does to it.
thanks for sharing this short insight into an artisan & his craft. You make the job look easy. So glad there are people still around who have the skills you do.
THAT is AMAZING!! Well done absolutely fabulous. I'm a painter not a beater but I did know a lovely chap here in Adelaide that "hand fabricates & forms" panels for anything. He does hot rods but mostly he did old Jaguars. I used to enjoy watching him but this Peter was awesome to see. I envy your abilities. Thank you for sharing All the best.
Do you have any idea of how this fender was formed? He says that he shrunk the perimeter, and stretched the center. Why do the area around the wheel arch look stretched?..www.pro-touring.com/threads/111638-Auto-Rod-Tech-s-metal-shaping-and-fabrication-thread
I did not shrink the perimeter (there is no need) just stretched the whole sheet and then gone on to the wheel arch and all the other details on the quarter
this is awsome,i used to work in south melbourne in the 80s next to r a mcdermot rolls royce,in the good weather the old coach builders would open the back roller door and you could see them hand fabing panels for the restos, awsome to watch old school skills that are slowly dissapering, p/s i hope that son of yours is doing well,he started at mick malones after i left, i hope he is looking after the xc,noticed it in the background of this vid,cheers geoff howard
Thanks for the video. I have watched this, probably 20 times. I wish you did a full length video. It is way outside of my skill set but very entertaining to watch. I wish that one day I am half as good as you.
Peter teaches classes both in Australia and he periodically comes to the US. Check Allmetalshaping and you can find out when he is holding classes. He also has DVD's where he makes the same quarter panel and breaks everything down. Really was a "gamechanger" for me. Plus he's a really nice guy.
Holy crap!!! Most people would have to have made that in multiple separate panels. Peter probably doesn’t even know how to weld because he never had to!!!!
I can weld, but in this case because of the nature of the panel it would be difficult to find a good place to join the panels together, mainly because of the big return on the wheel arch. Welding a panel like that would be a lot of work to line up, weld,and clean up , more so than make the panel in one piece
i like when you get the first look at the quater pannel siting on the car and you can just see the surface rust on it from all the blood sweat and tears 👊👊👊
You are more than an artisan, you are an artist. I truly hope you are passing on your knowledge and skills to the younger generation. Anyone able to learn from you would be privileged. We'll done!
all i can say is i hope you take the time to teach someone your skills because you definitely need to pass them skills on instead of making this a dying art ture genius. 👍
Peter I am doing a course at St George tafe in Sydney, with Charles Zahar, (not sure if you know of him?) he's a great teacher and I really enjoy the course, learning hand forming panels, mig, oxy welding (not learnt tig yet), using shrinkers, stretchers, english wheel, dolly / hammer etc.. I would love to learn from a master on a daily basis (even on apprentice wages). I love old cars. Hire me! :D
Peter Tommasini understood, I hope you enjoy retirement I'm sure you've worked hard for it. If I'm ever over in South Australia again I'll look up your business and try to pop by.
It is always jaw dropping to watch a master artisan at work. Look at the sheet metal and know exactly where to hit the hammer and each hammer strike exactly precise. Sure could probably have bought a repro but you'd spend hours making it fit. Sad that such skills are slowly being lost. Great video Peter only less annoying music on the next one, in fact what about just the natural sounds of the workshop.
Thank you for the kind words,.... also like to add that here in OZ a full repro panel for that model is not available, so the only choice is to make one.
Hi Peter Did you manually introduce some crown in the panel before you began wheeling? just to keep such a large panel from flopping around in the wheeling machine
Watching this makes my head spin, taking a flat sheet of metal and turning it into a quarter panel is mind boggling. Oh to have such talent. Fantastic job. Thanks
Thank you
True Tradesmen here, fantastic to see people who really care and are passionate about classic vehicles, real pleasure to watch .
Thank you

My friend in MotorRetro Sydney recommended your video. Love at first sight!! This is absolutely an amazing video!!
Thank you
I have seen this video, at least, 20 times. I still can't believe what I saw. Love it!! You make it all seem so easy. Sign of a true craftsman.
Thank you
Amazing accuracy when you were working on the wheel well. I was awestruck watching how precise each hammer strike was. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Not a metalworker or a panel beater or a coach builder he's a master of this dying art

Just incredible. You guys should have some sort of award.
Peter you are a real craftsman, outstanding workmanship and skill. Well done.
It just show you really dont need fancy tools. The fact that he made it in one piece is art very very good work
that was the most impressive thing I've ever seen! True metal master!

I am trying, but you know what.... no body is interested they find the going too hard??

Hard is a statement of ones mentality.

After 35 years in the business myself, this is unbelievable
Thank you , anything can be done with passion and pation
Met him years ago and became real good friends
All up I think he said it took about 80 hours
ARTIST! MAESTRO!
Thank you
Filler, what's that for? Wow, this is fabulous, old school supreme skill. Nice to watch it happen.
Thank you !
HI Iain thank you
Peter
Just awesome work! Can you let us know roughly what you would charge to make a custom quarter panel like that, or how many days it takes to make one?
It is always jaw dropping to watch a master artisan at work. Look at the sheet metal and know exactly where to hit the hammer and each hammer strike exactly precise.
Sure could probably have bought a repro but you'd spend hours making it fit.
Sad that such skills are slowly being lost.
Great video Peter only less annoying music on the next one, in fact what about just the natural sounds of the workshop.

What a good music video.
