This is really a worthwhile video, even though it lasts 1 hr and 6 minutes. Many of us will be familiar with most of the techniques Wray uses to make the fender, but there are two sections that I think many will find helpful and enlightening. The first is near the beginning of the video where Wray shrinks the "hip" of the fender using only a shaped length of 2x4 and a mallet. I've always wondered how those "hips", common on 1950s sports cars, were made, and here you see it being done.
About half way through the video Wray has too much metal in the MIDDLE of the panel, and he gets rid of the excess through shrinking using only a mallet and tree stump... again, the middle of the panel.
This is my longest video since the Geoff Moss videos of last year, but you really get an understanding of the time and multitude of techniques it takes to create such a panel. I hope you find it as informative, and inspiring, as I have.
