- Watch as we get into creating the final body panel for the 56 Chrsyler - the Tail Pan! Starting with a flat sheet of 18ga CR sheet metal a complicated reverse curve is developed using the english wheel and the panel is mocked up for installation.

Nick...nice job explaining and teaching the principles of creating a reverse curve. It's important for everyone to realize that it's not unusual for the panel to get worse before it gets better. I look forward to seeing this car all shaped up and sitting on the ground..it will be awesome!
Very soon Chris! Thank you!!
Figures that you also built that english wheel, nice. Always in awe at your work
Thank you!!
Love the work.
Thank you!
You are now my favourite builder!!!!!
Thanks so much Zach!! I'm honored!!!
Well Nick, definitely shows you payed attention in class and learned something about metal shaping,nice work! Love your skills and commentary on how and why you do something, as always I appreciate the video, have a great week!
Thank you for the kind words and support! I hope you have a great week too!
Nice!!!! I want to get out and wheel something now. Unfortunately, it is time for work. LOL!!! See you next time!!!
Excellent explanation
Thanks! I try to break it down so everyone can understand.
I’m staggered by two things. 1. Your work, presentation and communication is amazing and I have no desire to do anything like what you do. 2. You only have 16k subscribers! I hope by making a comment it will boost your exposure. Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers 🇦🇺
Thank you for your support!!
Fun and educational, what a concept. Thanks, already looking forward to next installment
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I watch. You do it. I still don’t. Understand. Your. The. Master. At. This. Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! If you take a piece of regular paper rectangular in length. Gently blend along the length to create a soft U. Then with the U upward and holding it lengthwise take your thumbs and gently push from the underside of the U and fingers pulling the legs downward bend the paper. You will notice the trough crinkling. A guy can either shrink those crinkles OR stretch the legs of the U(along the length) Hope this makes some sense.
I'm still blown away by your work. I love how you get yourself out of what seems to some of us as an impossible situation to solve, but you pull it off with class. learning from you is a pleasure. Thank you for the awesome content.
You're welcome. I'm glad you're enjoying the journey.
Hey Nick, it's Zach in Calgary, love your progress on this beauty! Can't wait to see this car ripping up the streets! Any ideas on color yet?
Me too Zach!! Thanks for the thumbs up!!
Further proof that details matter. Perfection!
Thank you!!
Nick, thank you for talking about your English Wheel build. I was wondering if your lower anvils are radius or flats? You are excellent on the English Wheel and a great teacher on how to use it. I wish I could talk and do something at the same time!
Full radius
Nick you keep filling my brain to the brim with these lessons. Now I have to go play with a small piece of metal on my small English wheel. Great video thanks!
👍
It fits like a glove 👍
Thank you!
Now that is some metal work 👍
Thank you!!
Nice work Nick and thanks for the explanation on wheeling a revese curve. Cheers Greg
Thanks for watching!!
Another awesome video! I loved seeing how a reverse curve is done, which has got to be the hardest thing to accomplish in metalworking. But the way the flange machine did its job really blew me away too and I watched that part a few times trying to figure out how it works
Thank you!!
Nick ,this is a metal shaping Master class . and you are an awesome instructor.
Thank you, I try my best.
Very impressive metal work.
Thank you!!
Another great lesson in shaping. Thx for making this a weekly experience.
Appreciate you watching!
The filler panel turned out great!
The bumper transition piece is coming along nicely. You are doing a nice job of blending the opposing compound curves. Directing the viewer to sight along the metal with one eye was great. The eye is the best measurement device. A trained eye like yours can do beautiful work. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Larry!!
My favorite saying “It’s only metal”
Thank you for watching !!
Great content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent.........
Thanks!
Wow great work! I love to watch you create every part!
Thank you!!
Thanks for a very interesting video Nick.
I appreciate your support!!
Great job nick you always amaze me the detail to your fit and finish is something elsef.
Thank you Richard!! Given the dwindling interest in this project over the past number of videos I'm debating whether to take the time to do a 'final metal finishing' episode after we roll her outside or just simply continue the build after primer stage... we shall see.
Very informative at one time there looked like scrap metal Very well done
Thank you!!
Nice work, Nick. I learnt so much. That's one scary panel to make, but you made it look so easy. And that makes me more confident on my cheap wheel, I will try the 6x12 too. Hey, why the frame with the caster wheel on the bottom of the leg of your hoist.
Hi Paul, When I drop the ramps to the lowest position those frames canter lever the wheels downward, lifting the entire unit and allow it to be moved about. I'll show you soon. Best of luck on wheeling and thanks for watching!! If you have any questions reply to one of your comments or shoot me an email info@invisionprototyps.com
Thanks, Nick. I may just do that soon as I have a question about pontoon mudguards disappearing into the doors. I can't get my head around the guard cut from the door edge. I guess it will present itself once I find some hinges and make the A pillar. In time, I will take you up on your generous offer. Thanks, Nick
Paul, from 🇦🇺
Nick it's frustrating to see how easy you make this look when it really isnt unless you have such advanced skills. That said you have clearly said it took you 20 years, so, practice makes perfect. Love how it's developing, Joe
Thank you Joe!! You're making great progress with your build, keep at it!! 👍👍
@iNVisionPrototypes thanks Nick. I've adjusted my wheel and back to it with enthusiasm tomorrow, 🙏
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching!!
Great piece Nick
Thank you!!
Nice work as always and very clearly explained.
Thank you John!!
Nice metal work,slow and steady. Can't wait for the charger project.
Thank you!!
Im on time this week Nick!
Thank you for watching !!
@iNVisionPrototypes you need more people watching! Trying my best to share your channel
Just want to say hi and that you are doing a great job and I enjoy watching you work with metal you are blessed. God bless and have a blessed evening and night
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I'm pretty new to wheeling, but I figured out how to shrink in it on accident pretty early on while I was figuring it out.
I'm working on an 18" copper sphere for a friend's art project and I think most of today is going to be working on the English wheel before I weld the final pieces together. That shrinking technique is going to get used a lot today, me thinks.
Cool!! Thanks for watching!
nice work Nick, great teaching to Thanks,,Godbless
I appreciate the support!!
Hey Nick, please keep them coming and thank you.
Next time when you have a panel that close could you not clamp it into place and put some heat to it and anneal it? Panel would relax into place maybe?
Need to remove the bumper, clamp the new panel's bottom flange to the floor and pull the area below the trunk latch outward towards the panel we just created. It's where it needs to be. Thanks for watching!!
I’d suggested Ferrari red initially (because the nose reminds me a bit of a ‘50s Ferrari) but the more I think about it I think this car would look amazing if the body is painted a gunmetal grey metallic with a cream or white roof. White or cream wheels with dog dish hubcaps would compliment.
Thank you Nick. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for explaining that cause I was starting to think there's something wrong with my eyes 😂
lol! Appreciate you watching!!
I did not see this coming but true to fashion, a surprise shouldn't surprise me that it happened right in front of me. Learning by shock I am giving it my best guess. I am setting here trying to say something witty or smart and holding a crooked smile wondering what you have up your sleeve/LOL
Thank you for watching !!
Pretty slick metal manipulation ... Mustangs usually have the gas door in this pan ...🤨 ... sorry ... couldn't help it ... lookin good ...
Thank you!!
👍😊
