Extended learning student who took my February class became enamored by the wire form buck. When he went back home he purchased plans for a 1948 Porsche Gmund SL Coupe. After tweaking a few things in adobe illustrator and Rhino he took his file and cnc cut mdf sections and connected them with square stock mounted on a rolling frame he created.
Using the MDF as a guide for the 1/4" hot rolled wire he cut out little reliefs for the wire to fit. This ensured he had the correct flow for the Porsche and some clamping capability for the panels he created. He still has some work left to do so we will keep you updated with his progress.

Good morning Wray, that is one serious looking english wheel ( yellow ) that you have setting in the background. Looks like it can wheel either way. I see you use the Everlast welders too. I am really happy with mine. Thanks for the great advice. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
Another great video showing the many ways to get results thanks mate!
It's a beautiful looking buck. Nice to get a visual of what the car is going to look like and also how tiny it looks with you standing there. Thanks for showing us Wray.
Very impressive work.
Beautiful job.
Once again, Wray, some way cool stuff coming through your shop! Looking forward to getting back up there to finish the nose cone for the "7"!
thanks for the knowledge, friend
Wray, I got the electric scissors and the HF face shield. That is the only face shield I have seen that has an adjustable head gear. Thank you for showing us about these. I think the hand shear is out of production.
Beautiful 👍
This has inspired me to construct a buck for the Apollo GT. I am thinking all plywood though.
Thank you for sharing
I use CAD (cardboard aided design) on my projects too! I'm using mdf, thin veneer plywood, sheet insulation foam, and bondo to make a buck of a 1933 1.5 ton dodge truck grill. I'm going to pull flexible shape patterns from this. I'm scaling it to be larger in size and resemble the 1933 1/2 truck and car grills. I figure the worse case scenario if I'm no good at metal shaping hopefully the grill shell buck will be good enough to be a wall hanger.
Haha your talking like a metal shaper already whatever doesn't work out in my shop goes on the wall too 🤣
Very impressive work! Makes it look so trivial, and it really is not. And to think that this is his first time... makes me feel entirely useless :)
Very nice use of wire form and wood buck combined Wray! Still waiting for the next episode on the Jag hood and fenders.
Great videos and you are an outstanding instructor. One thing; its pronounced. POR-SHA. Not porsh. Thx!
My German sister-in-law pronounces it "Pah'-shuh". Regardless this will be a beautiful car.
How would you go about getting custom windows made for a car that is so rare (or perhaps an original design)?
Hi David, The Gmund Porsche has all flat glass. There are specialist glass manufactures in quite a few countries that can make custom compound curve glass.
@@proshaper Thank you sir! I have been binge watching your videos and you have inspired me to maybe take on a car build. I build armor from steel on my UA-cam channel but have never worked with aluminum. You have convinced me to give that a try too.
This is Ben Kenobe level auto body work here.
Wray, what files did this guy order from HUM3d. I am looking at their 450s Maserati
Would a 3D CNC tube or wire bender be a viable tool to make the wire form pieces?
Hi Sean, I'm sure a CNC tube bender will help to make a wireform but I don't have one. 😁😁😁 I use two pins welded to a block of steel held in a vise. I can make a wire bend any way I want it to with that inexpensive set up.
How is the correct name of the "system" for the manufacture of frames (body) from plywood ???? No where to find study material
I just don’t know how to correctly calculate and make such frames for my needs (models)
For clamping to the mdf, an angle of sheet metal would do the trick.
Excellent !
Looks good but what about the E Type Bonnet
New installments are up now.
I'm surprised no one had made a large 3d printer and crated puzzle pieces that build a car mold
Hi Wray, You have found,or he found you!, a very talented young man in Spencer. Is this system basically superleggera? I had completely lost the plot by 2mins 30secs! I am not au fait with CAD etc, l expect that in your experience you have had to learn this modern approach to finding the information you need to "keep up" with the young generation and that is no bad thing. I see a few people are getting impatient about the bonnet. You have to wait for the best sometimes !
No this isn't a super Leggera that is the inner structure for the body panels. That will come later after Spencer finishes the panel shaping and welding process.
Great 👍 Tips and help,......I suppose .either way you I suppose works I
It looks very impressive! Is the body work finished now? Any chance I could get Spencer’s contact details, i.e an email address?
Incredible! How much would that have cost
My student Spencer made the buck. I would guess he has somewhere between $500.00 to $1000.00 invested in the buck plus his time.
@@proshaper How did he get the measurement to make the buck? Are they available somewhere?
Thanks

You need to make a wire bending jig. You can use your hands.
In our new buck video we will be showing all of the ways we bend wires.
After all dun did we all would like to know how many man hours to completion 😨.
It took me 4 months at 15-20 hours per week. Spencer
Hi Curtis, I think you are asking how long will it take to complete the whole body in aluminum. Each panel can take 2 or 3 hrs for a accomplished shaper, a novice can take three times that per panel and there might be as many as 40 to 60 panels in a car body. In addition an inner structure has to be designed and built for the body that can take 100hrs of hours. There are no quick solutions to hand building a accurate car body in sheet metal.
@@proshaper Now i see why these car's Draw so much 💰 at Auctions .
1938 Phantom Corsair..
Anyone interested ???
All that clipped safety wire securing things... really set my QA side off. That wire is RAZOR SHARP when cut and has ZERO QUALMS ABOUT CUTTING YOU BACK. It really needs to be folded over on itself to prevent injury.
Spenser my student came up with that idea and the method of creating the buck. After working on it at my shop he learned the limitations.
Hello Wray - i need a buck for a Ferrari F40 LM
GOT anyone who can make me the buck? I am in NEW YORK -
Try Hum3d.
The models just don't look right to me. The E Type and '65 'vette look off.
Hi Tony, what are you referring to?
@@proshaper
The digital models on that web site.
Your flexible pattern is mind-blowing; it amazes me you can reproduce a shape that way. And both sides of the car - brilliant. I understand it, but I can see it takes skill in metalworking. Excellent videos!
@@tonyroma9046 Hi Tony, OK, now I understand. Yes, you are correct the CAD model websites are all suspect. My student Spencer when he made the Gmund buck modified the files based on his observations of pictures.

Make wireforms.
