Get an old tree stump, a real old big bugger a couple feet in diameter and the same length as you would set the top of an anvil, and then, using convex faced hammers, pound depressions of varying shapes, differing radiii spherical sections. You can pound the metal against the wood and form very smooth curves, its a large part of how medieval armour was made. Making big heavy sledgehammers with lightly domed faces (and no square edge that would put a crease in the metal) will help a lot, and you can quickly learn to make very very pronounced shapes from single pieces of steel. Together with domed and curved stakes (like the gas bottle safety cap for example) to planish the metal from the other side and you can (if you take the time and refine the hammer surface to avoid marring the metal) mirror smooth metal domes and curves, mirror for real: polish them and you can shave in them... Or you can use the same techniques for a tenth the time and get something that with sanding and filling can be made perfect for paint. Source: I used to make armour out of 12-20 ga steel with not much more than hammers, a tree stump, an old axle with a carefully shaped head, and some snips. Back then I had no idea how to weld, sometimes I would rivet things, but mostly everything was formed from flat sheet. Later on I started reading about panel beaters, and found out about power hammers and bead rollers and English wheels, but still, most of it is doable with a well shaped stump, a stake or two, and some good hammers.

Hi Tony, You bring back memories of what I remembered it being called spot glaze (red liquor putty). Now thats why the body work cracked over time. You mentiond you use CO for gas and the .023 for wire. I started using the the .023 after listening to you and you were very right with control of the weld on the sheet metal but I found out the CO/argon mix works better on the welds. Have you ever tried it and wonder is it worth it cost wise? Nice job on the quarters, BTW. I know too many car guys that also put in S.S. brake lines on the car that never drive the cars in the rain only to and from shows in nice weather but worry they might rust up if the use steel lines. Good point about the paint on the inside.

Pink putty. I remember that stuff. Used it once and the paint job looked great for about a month. Then the DA marks showed up where it shrank.
Dam good job thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

Thank you for an excellent video. Great narration and video. You had a lot of information in a short space. Greetings from Maine.
Great tips as always.
Another great-one Tony! I'm actually using your cut-n-butt technique on my car right now. Getting there, not as neat as yours of course. Beginner.
I watch a lot of welding . I learned a lot from you thanks❤
Nice work Fitzee 👌👌
Very nice job Tony I remember that Red led Poody But never use it like you explain how people use it
Good one Fitzee. Cheers mate.
Thanks again! Trying to get up the nerve to cut and butt!
Hello Toni Thank you for the video. Your tips were very good. I wish you a good week and all the best. Yours Frank Galetzka
Thank you Fitzee!!
Great tutorial!
I miss the old intro music. Great video!
It's a good thing that you have Peanut to keep you in line. ;)
Sorry got to add yet another comment. After finishing video and listening to you I have to say my past comments were unnecessary. Because you admit and are open about doing the work quick and that even the best out there use filler. Ok, so ya, good video and everything.
I feel as though I'm in a classroom. Appreciate it!
Thanks for the lesson
Awsome job
