On this episode of Make It Kustom, I try out my new shrinking discs from Wray Schelin's ProShaper Workshop. Along with my planishing hammer and hammer and dolly techniques, the highs and lows "equalize" with shrinking from the disc. This rare Willys hood is officially SAVED!

You've got the gift of great explanation that sets some instructional KZheadrs apart from the rest. Well done!
Thanks a lot John I appreciate that
Great videos with great explanations!! You do great work and I’ve learned a ton from you. The thing I like the most of the 3 videos I’ve watched so far is you keep the language clean unlike other KZheadrs videos! Keep up the great work!!
I like that You Straighten the Metal and Not Just pack it full of Bondo, I have learned some New tricks from You Thanks Bud
I love watching you kid...you understand what you're doing, and you easily make me understand it too. Thanks....keep up the good work.
Thanks again Michael I really appreciate that! I’m so glad that information is coming across well
Watched the whole series, what an amazing transformation! Thought at the beginning there was NO WAY to save that hood! You are a skilled craftsman! Earned my sub! 🙌🏼😱
One of the better shows especially discussing hammer and dolly and torch shrinking. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the Demo on shrinking great info. I have some kinks in my roof of my 1955 210 chevy near the back of the car like someone sat on it. Great Job!
Excellent. And I thought craftsmanship was lost in this country.
I really appreciate these videos. A big difference from the usual Bondo artists I see on KZhead.
Some use metal some use Bondo lol in the end they look the same though
@@MakeItKustom I should elaborate a bit. I use Bondo as well. It's a fine product when used as intended. Unfortunately I see too many paint and body 'pros' use the stuff the wrong way. BTW, I'm very impressed with your skills. You're a very talented young guy. Lately I've been in slump, numerous projects not making any progress. Watching your vids had motivated me to get off my ass.
Most people would of said that bonnet was scrap. Just shows how highly skilled you are. It’s a big hello from over the pond in England 🏴
Cheers from Canada! Thanks so much Andrew! I’m stoked with how much of it I was able to smooth back out
@@MakeItKustom I was surprised too that planishing hammer you made is life saver and I bid on something similar but missed out on one but it wasn’t adjustable like yours. I just wish I’d of got into metal shaping 30 years back not when I was 48 2 years back old now takes much longer using hammers. Lol I’m hoping mrs buys me some metal shaping goodies soon for my 50th I can hope 😊
It's been an amazing transformation watching where it started and where it's at. The biggest take away is time and patience. As always I appreciate the knowledge.
Thanks Erick! It’s definitely come a long way and I’m pretty happy with the results! Patience is definitely key haha. Thanks so much for watching!
I must say watching you triggers something deep down in many of us- to give so much of yourself thru almost a physical artistry of hard work- leaving behind a bit of yourself in what you recreated. We all need to do more things that are tangible reflections of our spirit. This said from an old retired flooring guy! You gave great tips for my project 1969 Sport Fury! Peace brother.
Man I love to see real skill not just buy new parts and bondo. You sir have mad skills!
Thanks very much, sir!! Much appreciated man 🙏🙏 Thanks for watching!
I love the way you teach, well done
That makes me really happy to hear that. I really appreciate that man! Glad to know I’m headed in the right direction!
@@MakeItKustom Yes 100% excellent info, thank you.
My favorite new KZhead channel, really enjoying learning your process ! Thank you !
Wicked!! We’re stoked! Thanks so much for checking us out and for the kind words 👊🏼
Your technique is beyond amazing. I used to know an old time body man, who worked for Raleigh Motor Sales, who used a home built " Slapper" exclusively , made also from a leaf spring, but his planishing hammer was all hand finished with specialty hammers. I am impressed with your skill and expertise.
Dude you and the channel are a gift to us!!! Thankyou
Not only is he a great panel beater but a great teacher too. And a shout out to the camera work too - she really knows how to show me what I want to see!
I’ll pass that on man thank you!
Funny you should be working be working on a Willys. My next door neighbor (older gentleman) has four Pre-WWII Willys Hotrods ('40 and '41 are the dates I remember). A Fire Engine Red one, a yellow one, a flat Black panel (truck/van ?), and one in his other garage that's still in parts, waiting for some attention. What little I can see of it under the piles of stuff, it still looks stock. He's got a couple of three buddies in the neighborhood that are also into Hotrods. I get treated to a mini-carshow from time to time. The guy down the block has a purple, open top, chopped Model T, wide rear tires. They're all classic Hotrod style, not Rat-Rods. My neighbor just came back from a show down near Bakersfield, CA. , and said his panel truck was a hit ( Yes, he did trailer it down there) You would approve of how he's detailed them out. Thanks for covering shrinking disks. I've been wondering about them for years. Useful to know (everything I own is dented, rusted, or both).
Wow learning a lot of my mistakes and making your tools bro nice teaching us old farts for our little projects helps so much thanks my man.
Love the show, I am learning some good tips. Thanks
Hey there! That’s so great to hear! Stoked you’re finding the videos helpful!

Hey man! Thanks for all of your hard work! I’ve learned a lot from you. Great camera work as well. You make a great team!
Thanks so much man couldn’t do it without her! It’s hard work but we love it so it’s not work at all
A appreciate that you show a full range of techniques, from backyard beating to coach building, plus the shop built tools you use.
I really enjoy all of your videos . They definitely help me . Even though I don’t practice enough. You said that your using a variable speed polisher for the shrinking disc. I took. Ken Sakamotos metal finishing class . Which is a excellent class .Ken is very good and a good teacher. He also invented the original shrinking disc. He taught me that you need 5000 rpm’s to run a shrinking disc. I metal finished a sun visor for a 53 Chevy that was dented all the way across and surface rusted. Using hammers Dollie’s, slapper and shrinking disc. I delivered it in raw metal . I used dykem and Kens serrated shrinking disc
I took a weekend class at Wray Shalien's shop, learned decades of knowledge in those 2 days.
I really want to go there! Covid has prevented me
My grandpa used to build hot rods in the 60s and 70s. He taught my dad a lot mechanically but he didn’t have the patience to pick up on the metal work. I’ve been told I have the patience of my grandpa and I’ve been thinking about picking up where he left off. I do fabrication on bigger stuff (I am a fabricator in the oil and gas industry). I really appreciate these videos (especially the 4 door to 2 door ‘55) and they have motivated me to start trying to find me an old project car. Keep up the good work brother 🤙🏼
I watched him heat shrink a cj2a hood for my dad and I was amazed 🤣 I was quite young then and he can’t really see these days so you are teaching me what I need to know 🤙🏼
Awesome man I hope you do pick up where he left off! Sounds like you’ll do well with it having a base knowledge and welding fabrication already
@@MakeItKustom thanks for the great teaching you offer keep up the awesome work brother 🤙🏼
Nice! I’m not even into bodywork but I like learning. Thanks for the video.
Knowledge is power! Glad that you enjoyed the content anyway! Thank you for watching
Wonderful detailed explanation! Thanks
One of the best channels on KZhead! It’s crazy how guys with such talent and great teaching like you don’t get more views but just wanted to let you know I’m out here appreciating you putting the time into sharing this!
Thanks so much for the wicked compliment!! We’re stoked you’re enjoying the channel so far. We just started this channel at the end of this April, so we’re really happy with how much it’s been gaining traction thanks to the help of some shoutouts from a couple great builders on here. Thanks for your support! Cheers!
You don't need to go to a gallery to see art! That's sensational work and a brilliant presentation and explanation - Well done!
What a great explanation of what's actually happening in the metal surface and to get an effective result. I'm not a pb so its great to see a master at work and the result.
You are making me a star.
THANKS FOR SHARING MAKE IT CUSTOM AND HARD COR FAB ARE AWESOME THANKS FOR THE GREAT CONTENT AND VIDS
Absolutely the best metal working channel on KZhead bar none. Most body guys wouldn't have the patience that you have and would have covered the piece in filler nor can they teach like you do. Great job! Keep up the great videos. Cheers!
That metal work was amazing. Old school and that is not seen anymore. Great job!!!!
Thank you very much!
Great job. You have a skill set which is an dieing art form. Never give it up!
Greatly appreciate that, thanks so much!! 🙏
That stinking disk is amazing. What a good idea . Wray know is metal 👍
Nicely done. Having the camera operator really helps show what you are doing vs a tripod. Of course it takes two people, but from a viewers perspective, its worth it. Thanks for helping someone you don't know.
You’re welcome Robert! Kristina really does an amazing job with the camera work and editing!
This was just impressive! Shrinking discs, learn something new everyday. Thank you for sharing!!
Great to hear you’re leaning something new. These are a game changer
I remember when those discs first came out. I think it was in the early '70's and one of the rodding mags did quite a favourable article and a demonstration by the inventor. It seemed to fall out of favour . Good to see they work well.
Legit the first time someone said like and subscribe and I actually did it. Great content delivered very well. Thank you.
Right on man! Thanks for subbing and welcome to the channel!
Incredible work 👏 These three episodes have been awesome.
The marker is acting as a guide coat. I LOVE that mobile planishing hammer! If I could afford one, I buy one for certain, it takes away hours of hammer and dolly work. I really don't like filler. If I absolutely have zero choice, I prefer to use lead, and very little of that. Mostly it's metal work. I also like the shrinking disc. I've read about them but didn't any opinion of paint and body men that I trust. You have quantified the dilemma for me in a positive manner. I appreciate that you pay so much attention to the metal work rather than skim coating an entire area and then "reshaping" it with a body file. I consider that to be very poor workmanship.
Yeah I’ve tried a little bit of leading I like it but I still use filler if needed mostly a thin skim coat doesn’t bother me
@@MakeItKustom Some people like filler a little too much. I still have a '68 Mustang Fastback that I acquired years ago. When I looked at the right fender after getting it home I realised that there was damage there. I removed the inner fender and found a large dent fully 9 inches long, about 5" wide and 3" deep, totally filled with bondo. The "repair" had been done years ago but the bondo in the center was still slightly soft and smelled fresh. It took so long to cure that it eventually started to rust out the base metal underneath...Some peoples kids eh?
Amazing work!!
You are a very good teacher and you explain in simple terms what you are doing and why. Great job, thank you.
Thanks Andrew you’re more than welcome I appreciate you!
Bro you are a master teacher!! Thank you!
Great work very informative.
Awesome channel and skill! I have 3 projects you have inspired me to get busy on. I haven’t done any bodywork in 35 years but that’s going to change as my Jeeps and a square body Chevy need attention!
Great lesson. Thank you😊
Nice work!
Superb, thanks. Exactly what I needed to help with my repair
You are the Picasso of sheet metal...........A Pure Artist. WoooooooooooW !!!!!!!
Thanks a lot man!
@@MakeItKustom I took your advice and went to Wray's KZhead page, and I am from his neck of the woods. Between the two of you guys, I have learned a ton of information that I probably would not have thought of. Thank You very much for video's......I am like a sponge......soaking all up the info !!!! I have a 41 ford 1 ton truck that I am trying to restore......
Great channel and info. I'm glad to see everyone commenting and appreciating the hard work you're doing, not to mention the filming, editing, and actually knowing how to explain the processes you use.
Very nice camera work - good explanation
Man you are great,very talented.
great show
You do absolutely amazing work! Can't wait for more video's! I've already learned something that I can use! Thanks!
Thanks so much Marty! Happy to hear you’re finding it helpful!
awesome workmanship
Shrinking disc is amazing for oil canning and welding warpage too it seems. With just a few go's it took the canning right away from quarter panels and stiffened up the warped trunk lid from welding to be ready for bodyfiller. It is good for hobbyists like me, its easy to use for fast and effective result, I am not that good of a panel beater to do metal finish but it helps alot for those flat and floppy panels so that you can skimcoat with bodyfiller and it doesnt flop around when you sand it down. Takes practice and effort to metal finish for sure, but if you can live with few mm of filler then it makes this job real easy with this tool, definetly worth to have. Lifesaver on panels that you cannot get behind with dolly, as gas setup is way costly for hobbyists.
Amazing way you teach. I haven't seen anyone teach like you! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate that!
Excellent instructional video, you’re going to have that hood better than it came new
Ha ha I’m not sure about that but thank you so much!
Wray sure makes shrinking seem easy. I never doubted Wray, but your demo confirms it again. You both are geniuses. 👍👍😎👍👍
Wow, thanks Joel! That’s cool of you to say. Appreciate it man! 😎😎
Great 3 part series. Your way of explaining is so laid back and easy to understand. I gonna try some of that on my guard (fender) to get some rough ass dents out. Without a fancy planishing hammer. Sweet content keep them coming.
I like the beavercleaver tool and I would loooove to have a shrinking disc 4me big butt! Lol This was most interresting stuff Sir. Thx for showing !
Absolutely amazing what you do with metal.. thanks for sharing your knowledge.. it will sure make my ‘31 A look better 😁
You are a true craftsman.
Thanks Gary! Cheers
Great content. My dad and uncle shared a Willys as teenagers in the 40s and 50s.Thanks Chris
Man it would be cool to grow up in that time were all these great cars were a lot more readily available
brother you truly are a good tradesman keep up the great vids doing up wb ute in australia learned heaps happy hammering
Superb work for both of you. Thank you
You’re very welcome thanks for watching!
Amazing transformation. Watched parts 1 & 3. Need to go back & watch part 2. Makes me confident w/some upcoming work. I'm good @ sheetmetal fabricatuon/panel replacement but not so practiced @ metal bumping & what I have to do is so much easier than what you did. Subscribed.
These are great videos - thanks!
Thanks so much 🙏
Wow, totally amazing, that hood was a mess now its ready to paint, good job!
This is great content! I watched every second of all three of these videos for this hood! Great work and craftsmanship
Thanks man I appreciate it!
amazing fast results love your channel
Thanks so much Gary! Glad you’re digging it!
Best tutorial of this stuff I have found. Thanks
Wow thanks Todd I’m really happy to hear that!
You have an amazing way describing how to do things the right way to fix things.
Thank you! I’m glad the information is coming across well
That hood was scrap metal. What a transformation. Thanks for sharing
Haha thanks so much, man! I’m stoked with how much I was able to smooth it out.
A lot of talent and explanations are awesome. Great videos!
Thanks a lot man I’m glad that you enjoy them! Cheers
Great explanations, very impressive. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your weekend
Thanks so much! Glad to know I’m explaining things well!
This is a real art! Great job.
Thanks John!!
Wow, so that's how it's done! Thanks for the great instruction.
You’re welcome Tim!
Love this channel, awesome work and a true teacher, and a true CRAFTSMAN
Thanks so much Robin!
Great series of vids...I'm learning a lot and it is impressive to see the transformation. Nicely done.
Thanks man glad you’re learning something! Thanks for watching cheers
Just took the dive into body work on vintage cars, been a fabricator and welder most my adult life. Love these videos! catching up on this channel for days. Keep um going!
Wow, awesome work!
Thanks so much Darren!!
Great lessons, patient approach and clear explanation.....your a legend....thanks so much
Thanks for the feedback Andrew I am very glad to hear that the information is coming through well!
Very nice work, great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks so much John! You’re very welcome
Awesome man.
It's great to see that you are so good at an almost lost art! Keep up the great work and thanks for videos that can be used to teach!!!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching and supporting! Love this craft I am constantly learning
Watched all 3 episodes, enjoyed very much. You're a magician
Glad to hear thanks Joe!
This video series has been really inspirational. I used what I learned to get some dents out of panels in my car. Remove 1/2" of filler from the rear valance, which looks like oatmeal with a tonne of dents, but i'm hoping I can get me a slapper and try out these techniques on it! Keep it up and keep em coming!
That’s so rad!! I love hearing that these videos are helping people with their projects! Thanks so much for watching, and keep up the awesome work!
Looks great. Good job man.
Thank you!
Awesome show brother and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You’re so welcome and thank you for watching!
I like this series! I have been using the tips and tricks you show and I have been doing it on my Austin mini hood. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents!
That’s so awesome Michael! I’m so stoked you find it helpful. You’re doing such a wicked job on your mini. I can’t believe you’re only 15!! You’re killing it!
Another awesome video thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Richard! You’re very welcome!
I have one of these discs but it's the smaller 4 and a half inch size. The smaller grinder spins it faster so it's more aggressive and heats up the panel quicker then I used a very wet cloth straight out of a bucket so it quenched the heated panel quicker and encouraged shrinking. It seemed to work quite well, I used it to help smooth out a section on a rear quarter that I'd done some localised heat shrinking to help smooth out the resulting hammer marks. It certainly saved time to get to a stage where it was a thin skim with filler. I'd like to try the larger one you have as it should help to level out a larger area. Good video, I've just subscribed to your channel! A big thumbs up from the Shetland Isles at the far north of Scotland!
That’s awesome Larry! I’ll have to try it with a grinder one day! Thanks so much for watching and keep up the awesome work!
You are a very good teacher...
Appreciate that Bruno! Thanks
Revisit Wray’s videos. He runs the disc on the marker as a lubricant to avoid sparks and galling. He just says that if you have too much marker it can prevent heat build up. He does not recommend running the disc on bare metal.
Thanks man! Nice job showing how to use the shrinking disc. Loving the channel!
Thanks man! And thanks so much again for that shout out! It keeps sending people our way and it’s been really helpful!
I used a shrinking disc for the first time on a (very) high spot on a fender and it took it right out, I was amazed at the effect.
It’s crazy isn’t it!
