You talk all you want, I enjoy you commentary
Very impressive craftsmanship!!! I enjoy your commentary while you work!!! Very educational!!!
Thank you very much!
You are probably one of the few people who makes his own body panel and could make the whole car by hand
Nick has made a few custom cars from scratch. He's a very talented builder. You can see them in the intro and on the channel.
You remind me so much of the guy who thought me my trade many years ago,like you he was gifted at shaping metal,made it look so easy,,i couldnt even begin to count how many ruined panels ive thrown across the workshop😅,,as usual brilliant video
Wow, thanks
At a sewing center you can get what is called a tracing wheel for patterns. It looks like a spur star on a handle. you press the wheel to the pattern and it puts tiny holes in the pattern so that they can be seen on the back. then you lay the pattern on the sheet and run a marker over the pattern and the marker will mark through the holes onto the sheet.
Great TIP! I used a tracing wheel when laying out graphics/flames for a paint job along with some chalk dust.
I watched an OLDE SCHOOL Sign Painter who also used templates to transfer outlines onto brick walls to make his outlines for his signs. He used the same dress maker pattern wheel to prepare his templates. When he placed his templates against the wall he THREW ASHES from his fireplace against the templates. It gave him a LARGE TEMPLATE with clear lines to paint with. And CHEAP TOO ! LOL
Yes sir we don't mind you talk the processes through...it helps us understand better what's in your craftsman mind...
Another masterclass, wheely good info, thanks Nick.
That's a good one! Will need to borrow sometime. :D Thanks for watching!
Your commentary lets the viewer know your thought process and if like me people watch your videos to learn something this is important. Thanks Nick
Well said!
So skilful, so interesting, so jealous. Love your creatively, please keep showing us.
Thanks so much 😊
Dude, you have some real talent
Thank you!!
A mastercrafts person knows their tools and the right tools to get the desired outcome, you continue to impress Nick well done buddy 🙌😎👍
Thanks!!
Fantastic work Nick I’ve learned a lot from this episode
Thanks very much! Any questions don't be shy to ask(that goes for anyone reading this comment as well).
I'm amazed with your skills. Great job.
Enjoyed every minute. My favourite channel on TH-cam. Coming out to Hamilton in October for some government exams. Would love to drop by your shop and buy you and dad a beer.
Sounds good!!
Mate that was very cool to watch!!, The reflections are mint.
Can't wait for the next one
Thanks 👍
Very good, its fin time, my favorite part of a 50s custom, looking good, cheers from grant.
Thanks 👍
You got to love your calibrated eye, every fabricator has one.
Very true!
Talk away, my friend. Thanks for the content.
Doing a great job I like the fact that you talk and explain what you are doing. Kinda reminds me of bob ross when he is painting 🖼️ again great job 👏
The body is coming together nicely Nick👍👍 thanks for sharing
You bet!
That looked like a tuff one ... the doors should be easy now ... lookin good ...
Thank you for showing us your art talent. God bless.
Thanks!
First, you don't talk too much, I quite enjoy your educational comments. Keep up the good work and excellent videos. BTW, when you made the window channels why didn't you just make one long piece and cut it into the lengths you wanted? seemed to me to be easier that way and more uniform
Good question Paul. If I had a long brake that wasn't tired probably would have done that. The 22" pexto makes the bends nice and tight. In any case, care was taken to bend them as you saw and the pieces are all uniform. Thanks for the kind words!
Amazing work Nick, I really enjoy you talking, about the each process its very helpfull, cant wait for the next video,Take care Godbless
Looking really good. It’s amazing what YOU can do with the English wheel.
Well, 24:25 is where my skill level ends. I enjoy your work, its good to see how its done the right way before I do it the wrong way anyway.
Hey, you might find a better way to shape something like this. Thanks for watching Sean!
My Saturday morning wake up and watch with a cup of tea, hi from the UK
Great video 👍 Really appreciate you sharing your skills and knowledge, after cutting out a blank i like to give a gentle "wash" through the English wheel as no panel is dead flat on a vehicle 😊
Fine work as usual .
You've probably already checked out some of the Italian customs Chrysler commissioned in the mid '50s.
All based on 300.
Thanks for the content brother...👍🏁
Ghia created some very interesting designs back in the day!
Thanks for the lessons you are my hero I have more confidence to finish my quarter panel on my 1965 Buick gs convertible
Cool! That's a good looking car 👍 Thanks for the kind words Doug!!
Wow, from flat metal to a nice panel. I'm impressed. In my airplane aluminum forming days I would have had a die built and used a drop hammer to form the panel. I'm sure Chrysler used a similar technique using metal dies to form the original panels. You however are creating one off panels by hand that look fantastic. Kudos to your knowledge to form sheet steel so masterfully.
I have to get a tire for my English Wheel. Others put a "rubber band" on the upper, but it walks around a lot. Your idea of the tire opens so many possibilities. As you were working, I thought of making Nylon or Delrin lower anvils to use with the tire, to roll in profile features.
Once again, great video Nick. I knew I'd learn a lot with this series. Thanks!
Fantastic idea Dan!! I've been on the lookout for a smoother utility tire for the upper. This one tends to create ridges if I'm not careful in thinner metals such as 22ga or higher.
Nick, its so relevant to me at present. I cant believe you made this without a hammer or cutting and welding!! It gives me hope that i can get this under my belt. It will take some effort, but i am on my way😂😂, Joe ❤❤❤❤
Your commentary is great. No need for change Nick in my opinion.
Keep on rollin' Joe!!
@@iNVisionPrototypes hope you can get these pics I've pinned Nick, 🤪 Joe
@@joescully566 Where did you pin them? sorry can't see yet. :( on my iNVision facebook page?
Great job man that reallÿ takes some skill.thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Amazing work Nick . 👏
Very nice work
Nice Nick!! I enjoy all of the commentary.
Looking great!👌🏻
Amazing...the process to obtain the shape is naturally intuitive to you. I suppose that's where one may end up after 10s of thousands of hours working your craft. I'm curious, if you are working alone and not filming, how many hours would this panel require for you to create?
Honestly Chris, I'm not sure. If this was being doing this for a client I would keep track. This build is something I'm doing after hours and on weekends so it's more of a relaxed pace with other areas of the car being worked on as well. You'll probably notice that in this Friday's video. Thanks for watching!
Man o man , Diesel Creek, Andrew Camarata and iNVision videos all on the same day, awesome.
Magic .................
Loved your Mike Bello impersonation 😅
Remind me again who Mike Bello is, dang brain fart...
I didn't realize just how much, light reflection plays an important role in guiding correct panel movement.
I never ran a english wheel, that looks impressive to me!
It's an amazing tool!
That is a complicated panel for sure. Lots of technique and tricks and talent in there.
can you make me some cab corners for my truck? you the man when if comes to making pannles.
Sure we can help you out! But have you tried to find aftermarket replacements first?
MASTER METAL MANIPULATOR
Nice work
Very nice work Nick, I was amazed how the rubber tyre formed the panel so quickly Im guessing the pressure on the tyre / anvil was quite firm ? Cheers Greg
Pretty firm but not crazy. It's the number of passes that gently bends the panel. Don't want to start creating kinks. Thanks for watching. Just finished my oatmeal and heading out to get some more done on the 56. Have a great weekend Greg!
Watching you process sheet steel to a panel or a section of a panel is inspiring. How do you know when to shrink or stretch a section as to be it's not always obvious?
You're right! It's not always obvious. Comes from experience and I still learn something new every time I wheel a panel. That's one of the reasons why I talk as I'm shaping/building. For the viewers that don't skip through to the end of the video, they'll gain insight as to where to push and pull a panel and apply that to their own project. Great question and thanks for watching!!
I love commentary, if I were doing it, I would need the "Blue" youtube channel. I think back a good many years and the only time I ever really lost sleep was when the wife said; Not tonight dear, I have a headache". I know that fingers get pinched, my lingo goes south, and sometimes yet think if I could of done this or that instead of thinking something constructive..... I guess we all do that Nick. I do ask tho if your on many other projects building cars or trucks to avoid burnout on any one project. I was always trying to draw things, and got really good at it. I was never satisfied tho because I thought it could be better. Most of my drawings ended up in the trash, what was left, I gave away to others who just couldn't live without having it. I would of just left it in a box or drawer, and what is the use of having something you never see or look at. I do have some really old photos of my great grandparents and wondered what they went through. I did find out that one of them was hung for being a horse thief, and another was a pony marshall. Same said family with different ideas of ownership I suppose. I don't really know what person I would of been as I was not there and had not gone down their path. A lot to be said as to walking in another persons shoes/moccasins. Time to cook something now, maybe call the dog in and wait for another episode of INVision Prototypes. I can say proudly that I have shared two channels exclusively. This channel and Carter auto restyling. By far the best in what you/they do, just a different sense of humor.
I have several projects/jobs on the go. The 56 in this section is an evening and weekends deal. Thanks for watching
hi Nick man you make it look easy , watch you on a loop in the workshop making a cab for my cj7 over here in the UK trying not to have flat panels. only curves, how much do you worry about both panels on each side being exact, or should i do one side and then the other, thanks for your content ,cheers Sam
Great question Sam! Usually I'll run both sides in parallel. As a panel is being developed I constantly refer to the buck or use profiles/sweeps/hand so that in the end they end up very close to exact mirror opposites of each other. The panel section in this episode still needs a little work to match the driver's side(vertical flat area is stilling at an angle and the convex top surface is a bit flat still). But, I won't finish this until the door skins are mounted and I can sight the main side feature from front to rear. Since the car is shorter, the fin tips sit a little higher on the quarters and that feature now has a slight rake up towards the rear vs the original straight line. Thanks for your support and best of luck on your CJ!!
The top of the fin does look rounder on the driver's side. Please show how you make them match better. I'd have to make a precise pattern then turn it inside out I think. Just a guess. Thanks for the talking.
Good eye! The area below the feature is sitting on an angle as well at this point. Still a little more work left. Once the door structure has been completed and skin mounted that top quarter panel section will be finessed. Cheers!
I have not watched all your previous videos. Do you do collaboration videos with other YT craftsmen?
If the opportunity came up and timing was right, sure!
Thanks for watching!
Keep talkin . Im learnin
Right side left side, how they gonna know Nick, they’ll never know
As you say, you're just passing a piece of metal between two wheels... and then magic happens! And she who must be obeyed tells me that I should now get outside and make magic happen.
lol!!
Can you explain why you placed a piece of wood in the Pexto brake?
That is an excellent question. It keeps the handle raised so that the slip roll can pivot into place without clashing. Every square foot of space is precious real estate. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you.
👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How would you make that track if you had curved glass?
Now that is a tricky one! Depending what tools a guy has ... it could be approached several ways. One way(for a subtle curve), 2 blocks of wood gently curve with a hammer, though it could kink. Another way, two angle pieces bent using a kick shrinker and joined where the back side of the rubber sits. Other ways too. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Nick
Yo! Thanks for tuning in!
Can’t remember you having this much trouble on the driver’s side?🥸
Awesome job by the way!
LOL! Thanks!
