That is really cool the way you work the metal and make it go back to its original shape. I have never done much body work so this is all new to me. You are a master at what you do. Thank you for the video Brian.
Amazing work as always Brian! As someone who has no knowledge in metal shaping, this almost looks like magic. Your explanation was great and in the close up, I could see and understand what was going on. Looking forward to what you show next!
Great video Brian. Wish I had this a year ago but I think my cj5 looks pretty good. Can't wait to try this new knowledge on my cj3a. Thank you very much. New lights are great
Hi, Brian, nice vid, best demo I've ever seen on using the ole shrinking disc. All your vids are helpful/informative, especially the meta shaping. Nice to see things going good after that dip a few years ago.
Everything I’ve learned from you I have put to the test and had excellent results… except this technique… only because I don’t have a shrinking disk…yet😅 thanks again! Update: I just ordered one… 😂.
16:32 I’m curious if time efficiency could be had if you used a ‘weed burner’ torch couldn’t be used to do a larger shrink? I don’t know- never tried it. Didn’t know if you had and what your thoughts were. It obviously won’t “fix” creases but the oil canning? Dunno
NO. What needs to happen is very concentrated heat to shrink only high spots. Even a tiny torch with a small flame would put too much heat in the part and cause more damage. This is not a fast process, but a careful one. The shrinking disc is the perfect amount of heat to shrink the metal and control the rest of the panel.
@@metalshaperJeep Thank you. I have a creased ‘69 VW bus roof I need to finish off in spring. I got the worst out (3’ x4’ effected area) and it still wants to boing. I guess I’ll be taking a worn out cup brush for the angle grinder and cut it to weld a disc to it then. Thank you
Until a few years back when I came across your channel I had no idea a filler free repair was possible for damage like that. Could this be done with a small propane torch like you’d use for pipe soldering?
Any type of flame, no matter how small would put too much heat into the panel. This is best done with a shrinking disc. Some guys even use worn out 80 grit sanding pads, 9" diameter to do the same thing. Must be worn out or it will cut away metal. A flame would be tricky to control and make more of a mess
My disc is from Ken from many years ago. Is he still making them??? Took about 3 hours, not sure how many shrinks, just the time it took to get to this point.
@@bstevermer9293 I don't use a torch for shrinking. Shrinking disc is my favorite. I also sometimes use a stud gun and use the shrink tip with it. Very concentrated heat, and easy to control without putting extra heat in the panel.
@@metalshaperJeep Ive never had much luck with the torch method makes a warp mess. There is a video around where a shop is using it on a train body. They get pro results . 🤷🤷🤷
Brian, you need a friend in Australia! They still sell those style shrinking discs there.
The new lighting is a great addition to the channel. I like seeing the pride you put into your work.
Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks 👍
Thanks Brian, I'm interested in all your projects Please keep the videos coming

Thanks for watching as always. More sheet metal stuff coming in the future
Thanks Brian.
appreciate you watching

Nice save of an original hood. The new lighting is nice, I could see the metal move a little as you were cooling it.
Always good to use original sheet metal. I am happy with my new lighting as well, glad you were able to see the metal shrinking as it was cooled.
Hi Brian. The new light Is a big help!
the new lights are great and help me see better, glad it makes the video better.

Trying my best to put out videos people want to see and hope this one was enjoyable.

Once you try a shrinking disc you will love it.
Brian, it's intriguing to watch the artistry ( sounds like you you've got the cold on the run).
Feeling better these days and still making things happen. Glad to have you watching
Nice job
Brian... Excellent video showing how to fix an original CJ5 Kaiser hood using metal shrinking technic. Thanks, Juan
Came out great Juan. More videos on this hood coming soon.
Oh, and by the way:
Thank you for the metal manipulation vid. Not uninterested in other stuff you do but like these processes mixed in.
More coming.
Amazing video! Thank you brother!
Glad you liked it!
awesome video as always brian ! ty for all you do
Thanks for watching!
Good video as always. Thank you for doing this
Glad you enjoyed it!
nice job
thank you
Keep going with the sheet metal repairs
More sheet metal videos coming in the future.
That looks great. Good job Brian!
Thanks 👍
G'day Brian hope you and the family are well. The hood is looking good. 👍
Thanks, all is well here, hope you are well

Ken at sun chaser tools makes the disk.
How many cycles did it take to shrink to 100%?
My disc is from Ken from many years ago. Is he still making them???
Took about 3 hours, not sure how many shrinks, just the time it took to get to this point.
@@metalshaperJeep
Do you have luck using a torch to shrink? Good video idea !!!

Go to 9:10
Is the shrinking wheel easier to control than a torch?
yes on a project like this the shrinking disc is the best way to go. Too much heat with a torch
@@metalshaperJeep Thank you, for your videos and comments.
