Hammer forming a Porsche 550 nose
Previously on ProShaper Workshop, Wray decided to show how to rough out a Porsche 550 nose section. Now with the Porsche nose section developed enough to see how it fits to the wireform, Wray notices that the reverse curve portion needs the most work. This is where the wireform comes into play, using it to hammer form that reverse curve using a torch and hammer.

No matter how much I learn about metal, it's always fascinating to see a flat sheet become something beautiful.
The difference between chaos and creation is in the perseverance and patience of the master. The difference between ugliness and beauty is the cycle of distortion and renewal.
Wray makes everything look easy. However his best talent is his ability to make this complicated dark art make sense to a lay person. You really need to take his class for that experience!
Amazing work! The piece oscillates between what looks like progress and what looks like disaster!
Metal is Clay
Wray...I wrote on my garage wall, "It has to get worse before it gets better" to remind me not to get discouraged. Watching your Porsche 550 nose project is lock step with this reality. Maybe another good Wray T-Shirt future consideration. Thanks for doing what you do!!
Thanks Ray! The more I watch, the more confidence I'm gaining. Cheers, Doug
Was not aware making such a complicated part was even possible without splitting up in several pieces. Now I am impressed!
One of the major things I am learning here from you is patience, Wray. I am quite bad at it...
Hi Henri, Yes, Patience is supreme!!!! Confidence comes in second, followed by skill sets. Patience builds your skill sets which reinforces your confidence. Most people think it is the tools. Tools are way down on the list.
Great video! Thanks for putting these up.
@20:10 - most folks would throw in the towel and start over! As always, nice to see a craftsman at work. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos - I always learn.
With Aluminium you can use sunlite liquid and when it turns into brown the temp is right. I am learning a lot from your videos because we have to teach ourselves here on the back side of earth.
I have no intentions of ever making anything. I just love watching art being created.
Thanks again Wray!
I enjoy the longer, in depth videos, like the Porsche front end.
I always learn a lot from your tutorials.
It’s very generous that you are willing to share your hard earned talents with us all.
I have put a lot of what I’ve learned to practice, with very positive results thanks to you.
Always looking forward to the next one.
Johno from Australia.
Thanks Wray! This series of videos has been very informative. Great that you show the big advantages of the wire form and using simple tools. Look forward to see how you will solve the other side.
Looking great, Wray! Glad you pointed out that there isn't a "Fast & Easy" way of doing this stuff. It takes time and dedication (like so many other things), and if you don't or can't handle that, maybe this isn't a field you should be in.
Loving your work! Very informative and eye opening, as always!
i love these longer videos. never a need to hurry.
Brilliant video Wray, the story you are able to express in that metal is incredible. I was transfixed
Can’t wait to see this series develop. Thoroughly enjoyed the E Type bonnet and wing series.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Wray. They are a great help and inspiration!
thanks for sharing your talent with us Wray
Big thank you Wray! Learning, relaxing and enjoying your soft way of talking us thrue the projects. Huge fan!
Ah , been looking forwards to this one. Round that 19 and 20 min mark its hard to keep the faith and keep going , but thats experience , and boys does it show , interesting too that you use a different method of working if its steel , I usually work in steel and dream of things that move about as easily as alloy but both have their highs and lows ,,, no pun intended.
It would be so easy as a beginner not to want to mess up the bit youve got nearly right so far , but thats what this video shows best of all , have faith and keep going , it will smooth out again and be better for it . This series of videos is by far the best youve done in terms of both production and content.
We still use the clamp holders with the engineering die checks, we clamp the panels down and do a 3d scan to check them against the "perfect panel" form. Seeing your process is great, thank you for the detailed explanations.
Love this series and your videos
Big fan. Also a big fan of bad chad. Could you talk a little about the difference in attitude, time, money. Your idea of medal shaping vs backyard medal shaping?
Most people perceive that is impossible to learn how to create precision compound curve panels because their perception is that it takes years and years to learn and you need thousands and thousands of dollars worth of tools. At my classes I prove both of those perceptions false. I believe I do it in my videos as well. Once you realize that you can make any car you desire, you don't need to overpay for a rusted and smashed hulk that will in the long run cost more to make new than making it new from scratch.
@@proshaper thank you. I’m a bbbiiiiggggg fan. You do make it look easy. My son is a welder, will in courage him to watch and thank a class
There are a millions of welders and very few people that and reshape medal.
another episode so soon? must be xmas! tip to camera guy - feel free to move around more, show different angles. it helps to see the shape developing since the reflections in bare metal are like camouflage.
Thank you Wray! Awesome work! Could you explain how a channel would be added that the hood would sit into? I have an MGA with kind of a deep U channel that the front hood closes into it. Would that be welded on after the surround is made? I’m a fan of your flexible shape pattern and would like to give it a try on an aluminum body replacement. Cheers!
What a solid Spud rawhide made material work for your headl light
I've watched about a half a dozen of your videos and enjoyed them all so far. I have a question. How do you build the wire frames that you use for your fenders ect.
Hi Lee, go to my UA-cam homepage. ua-cam.com/users/proshaper click the videos tab and all 180 videos are they. Scroll down and watch the videos on how I do the drawings. From the full scale drawings I make the wireforms.
Wray, you mentioned the Vermont 550 guy. Does he hammerform the big panels too, or just the details like the joggles? Wonder how he clamps them so they don’t move
Great work!
Hi Wray, I am always on you tube,I want to build a Volkswagen Hebmular rare car. I want to attend your class the coach building class so I can learn tape shape pattern technique and the wire form buck building what clsss do I need to take?
Please keep the videos coming I love seeing how my dreams can become a reality through your teaching, Thank you.
Hi Wray In general would it be an advantage to make more smaller panels that are slightly less complicated if your skill and experience is limited? For example your panel broken down into 2-4 smaller pannels.
Wray, at what point do you confirm that the headlight bucket will accept the headlight ring? I've watched your videos for a year or so and continually fascinated by the process and your outstanding skill set. I'm recently retired and would like to set up a shop to fabricate motorcycle tanks, fairings, etc. and will most likely be attending one of your classes in the fall.
I have a headlight and ring. The 550 uses a 356 light.
Hallo!
I like to watch your Vidios. I learnt a lot off.
I like form metal Sheets an restauratet old Cars.
your Vidios ar she best.
excusme for my bet English.
hello great video's there is some thing I am not understanding your saying that by heating and hammering you are shrinking the metal . Is that not stretching the metal , I was told that to shrink aluminum you need to heat a spot in the middle area and quench it with wet water rag working you way out from middle too the outer area that needs to shrug by doing it in a round pattern .
You can shrink any sheet metal by applying heat with a torch in about a 3/4" round spot, the localized heat expands the metal and it rises to you. The heated spot is now more malleable than the cooler surrounding metal. When you then hit the hot spot it will thicken(shrink). The process is incremental, a little here a little there until the metal does what you want it to. A key ingredient is the metal must be locked at the edges. I lock it by clamping to the wireform. For smaller scale aluminum shrinking see my video about taking out dents in aluminum.

I think the shape of the headlight that you put in last time when using the flexible shape pattern is making it a lot harder in this section because the lower part of the light form kind of starts walking due to the heavy shrinking?
The difficulty of creating this panel has made me wonder if a pie slice or two around the top of the headlight area would ease shaping on it?
Ive bashed plenty of metal but never done this sort of thing.
Even so I would have done the bashing in the big rubber recess first.
Making a big 90 degree bend
Then stretched the head lamp section out.
No offence intended Wray,you are the professional
What would cutting out the headlight bucket area do to the forming of the metal?
The way the Statue of Liberty would deal with made out of pound ed copper right .
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Well you should take time to make your spot this way you want so you can hammer on especially if you're going to know you're shrinking
Are you going to do a plate jig rail slide two pull sheeting for more than one right.
Looks like a great release for some disgruntled ex partners? I can’t believe all that hammering produces such a beautiful finish👏
"This looks like a big mess right now"....5 minutes later looks like chrome plate
Супер 👍👍👍
....mig panels were " pulldown" hammered- alphajet panels were pulldown ballblasted = micro hammered....wray panels are perfect anyway...
So basically just heat it and beat it!!
Hard job wray, I saw you sweat.🥵🥵🥵
To me, shrinking seems like the wrong term. It’s more like conforming. If anything, beating something into submitting is expanding or displacing a material
Being a joiner by trade, I’ve spend nearly a year developing a wooden station buck for a 1927 Model T. Seeing the wire form method has been a real eye opener, Wray!. Check out my Instagram on paulwhiteman66.
I can just picture someone having to do this to repair james deans crashed 550...IF they found it...and IF barris hasn't welded it into an aluminum blob of a car..
that sure looked ugly for a while.
