On this episode of ProShaper Workshop, Wray decided to show how to rough out a Porsche 550 nose section with our power hammer and then over to the beater bag to stretch the edge as shown by the flexible shape pattern. This is a huge reason why the Flexible Shape Pattern is invaluable. It will show the user exactly what needs to happen without having to take the panel over to the buck each and every time.

"If you're not getting that hard spine you gonna be stretching, not shrinking" -- I've heard you mention the importance of the hard spine before many times, but it's this phrase that made me really understand it! Hearing pro's and con's of the process in one setting really makes difference)
I thought it was a matter of more or less effective shrinking alltogether.
One of the best metal shaping videos on UA-cam!
Amazing demonstration thank you
Wait? Its a boat, no its a plane? no its a Porsche. I'm still waiting on the Jag bonnet. Just busting your balls Wray.
All the best,
Tom
Hi Tom, my journey along the path is often interrupted... 😁😁😁 Thanks for watching!
I'm with Tom. The recent metal shaping videos are great but I'd really like to see that Jag bonnet finished.
@@paulk2959 it will get finished, I felt people would get bored without some variety on my channel. It is all good.
Very informative video, had to rewatch it because I got distracted by the Renault 5 LeCar in the background. I wasn't expecting to see this kind of car in such a shop, unless someone wants to make a copy of the Turbo or Maxi Turbo.
Outstanding presentation, Wray. This one really helped me get my head around these concepts better. Can't wait to see you finish it out.
Your a great teacher. The last couple of videos were about shrinking and stretching. Now we move on to combining both into one structure. My only complaint is how you make it look so easy but I know that it isn’t case. I would very much like to know more about the person who guided you to your journey with metal. Whoever it was must be proud of you
Hi Dan, Actually close observation, a good memory, and time are my teachers. I have been at it since I was 12 in 1963 when I started working part time at my grandfather's restoration shop. His business specialized on the 1930s Classics with a focus on J Duesenbergs. I would have to say I have always been influenced by Fred Duesenberg's amazing mechanical design ability.
Excellent thanks Wray
Hi Wray, this this awesome, for me a 550 project is a 'bucket list' item that I hope to get onto in the next couple of years. Appreciate all the content you've put up over the years, I've learnt so much. Putting it into practice - I've been making and selling alloy door skins for classic Series Landrovers, have been quite popular with restorers. All the best.
Thank you ! it is very interessant to see how aluminium reacts and how you make volumes by areas thank to the paper "patron"
fantastic! sincerely hope you continue with this panel.
This week, I'll develop it a little more.
@@proshaper 👌
Wray , l don't know what grade aluminium you use but the aluminium we used would never have survived the beating you give yours! Top drawer Wray !
Hi John, from a search: 3003 aluminum is alloyed with 1.2% manganese. While more malleable and formable than 5052 aluminum, it is not as strong (tensile strength 17 to 30 KSI vs. ... Due to the presence of copper, 3003 aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion. This grade also features excellent workability and weldability.
Did not know that about the spines! Now I know what to do when they pop up.
I used to fold the spines over on steel and then weld them. Then I would grind everything back down to the original thickness. Wish I knew how to properly do it back then, it might have saved a lot of time. I was always fighting heat warpage.
Fantastic content. More, please. Especially of the 550.
It's big part of You knowledge, thank you !
Excellent content- as usual !! Thanks, Wray.
A very nice shirt you are wearing. Two pockets and all. when you are welding and stretching; how often do you anneal the metal?
Thank you Wray!!!
Joe Stafford has done many 550, and RSK Spyders.
Also Runge makes his own Spyders out of Aluminum
Great video Thank You
12:22 ,,, thats looking pretty good , lol It looks like a road crash victim ,
But having watched the flexi shape pattern method of yours , I know it will soon be on the change , that reverse curve is a mean one , but its a signature shape ,
13:55 ,, your a total marksman , a hammer sniper , me well Id have a sore hand at that point , so great to be able to watch.
Now looking forwards to the next instalment.
Increíblemente instructivo, buen trabajo 👍
Would love to see this finished!
Nice Renault on the background
Yeah, that was very informative. Thanks, Wray!
Would one of those pricey Eckold machines spread up the valley shrink part of that panel??
Hi Paul, I believe you are correct. Anybody attempting to produce shapes like the 550 in a limited run production series would be greatly served with a fully tooled Eckold and a full surface hammerform buck to quickly reproduce accurately very complex shapes like the 550 nose panels.
@@proshaper Got my eye on the Eckold KF800. Just over £20,000 in England but it’s a machine I can take to Japan in the future.
So, one of these in conjunction with a full hammer on type of buck is the way to go?
Hello from Australia, your videos are very informative for a budding metal former. Thanks for taking the time to capture your knowledge and passion on film. When you say 050 aluminium is that 50 thou? What grade do you use? Thanks in advance
HiCallan, Thanks! Yes .050" 3003 h-14 aluminum.
Thanks for the video Wray, love the way you massage the metal :) Does that 3003 H-14 work harden and require tempering as you make the panel?
I call what happens to the metal in the heavily worked areas "Confused" ( non uniform) , once you planish it becomes uniform again and more malleable.
What do you use for the pattern material? Looks like Paper, looks like Fabric... Thanks!
Hi Martin, See my video how to make a flexible shape pattern. The video will explain in detail your question. I will also be doing a video today showing the same flexible shape pattern process. My UA-cam homepage: wwwyoutube,com/c/proshaper click the video drop down tab and all of the 201 videos are all there.
@@proshaper Thank you Wray! I found that one yesterday and the new one for the Scout series! Thank you!
What’s a flexible shape Patton? Any relation to general George? 😁
We all have some unpolished facets.😁😁😁
Thor’s hammer has nothing on that Pro-Shaper mallet!
I bought one and they are bigger in person or Ray is a giant.
Супер!!
Super primitive & crafty
ps. wondering slicing a small piece of the inner part out then weld it together is possible method?
Slicing and welding, smaller pieces, shrink shaping, hammerforming, stretch forming, combination shrink and stretch shaping, are some of the valid methods. This method I used in the video was a demonstration of the potential of heat shrinking and the awesome potential of a wireform.
@@proshaper Thank you very much
