Amazing, I'm trying to fit a quarter panel, and he's making one. HAHA

I love seeing the steps. Could you show more how you made the flanges and on the side panel how you made the protrusion for the side?
:king:

Frickin sweet man!!

:y0!:
Alright, help us fill in some of the steps here. I'm with you on shrinking the front 90* degree leg on the cowl; then for the second horizontal leg, did you run it through a turning die in a bead roller then stretch it, or hammer form over an anvil then stretch it back out?? I'm guessing the windshield flange used the same process?

3003 aluminum? What gauge?

Thanks for the lessons in sheet metal mastery! Can't wait to see more! :theresa:

LOL

Hey B - I have a question for you! If you build the body and weld it all up on the buck - how do you get the buck out from the inside?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Joking.

It's going to be awesome - and you already know what I think of your skills.

XOXO

Thanks Greg, your sence of humor is always appreciated

Thanks for following!

For the uniformed - the Eckold is about a $10,000 machine -- and the Lazze Bead Roller is another $5,000 ===== and then you have to have SKILLS!! PRICELESS

Well that rules me out. I have no skills and the thought of spending $15,000 on two machines that I would have to spend years to learn and the fact that I don't have any free time. I will continue to sub out my stuff to guys like Brycen.

Thank God people like him still exist today.

That rules out 999 of 1000 people -- maybe more!

I could only dream of having the skill to even know where to start!

The same job can be done on machines that cost less, however the machines are like the Ferrari over the kia, you can still drive to work just not as fast.

At the end of the day its 11 years of practice that allows me to do what I do. I believe anyone could learn in that time

Awesome! Thanks for the info man! Lazze's stuff looks really nice, that guys got it figured out.

Hahaha I feel better about my Harbor Freight results! :) Keep showing us how the pros work! So fun!

So I guess Craigslist will be a bust for trying to find one. HAHA

Brycen has the talent for sure. I would watch a 6hr video just to see the process done. Amazing talent.
