  • In this tech / How to video i cover how I make custom lennox ( pullmax style) tooling for putting in profiles and body lines. From casting an accurate mold, through machining and ending with putting the peak profile into the custom engine bay panels.

    The best of the best. What a marvelous teaching video, and you really show us step-by-step how it's done. Sure makes a fella want to get into the workshop and start making pieces. Thanks so much for donating your time (and journeyman knowledge), it is really appreciated.

    Really liked the custom Jig for welding the tooling, Great example of the repeatability of the Cleco fasteners, pouring the body filler reminded me of making sand casting dies for intake port fillers 40 years ago. Love seeing tooling made because very few people realize a pullmax is useless without all the different dies for each custom contour!

    I have been working on something similar for creating a body line on a ute quater panel
    I use a thermo plastic called polymorph its a low temp plastic 60c
    But at room temp 25c its as solid as nylon its great at pulling profiles from and takes way less time then waiting for filler and its reusable
    It can also be used for dies directly for things like alloy or brass

    Use the pin gauge the get a rough profile
    Mark that on a 2x4 cut the rough profile out of the 2x4 you could use hard wood 1” thick here too
    Coat the wood with bondo and fiberglass resin mixed together and stick to the surface let it harden
    Pop it free and and sand the excess off the sides
    Wax the surface to keep it from sticking

    Well you did real good explaining what to use until you mixed polyester resin with bondo to thin it. Those 2 polyester products are promoted with completely different products, benzoyl peroxide for bondo and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide for the resin. Had you put MEKP in the resin before adding it to the bondo you would have properly educated your followers, as it is you conveyed bad information.
