Hello all and John if your reading along today.
I've been doing some fender slicing and welding... of course lots of pounding also... specifically, I need some technique advice. So I've got a spot that I want to shrink or tighten extra metal in. I know John sells the shrinking disks which I'm considering, ... but in the interm, what is the old fashioned shrinking technique. I know to heat the area with a torch.. but then do I cool it rapidly with water or something... or do I let it cool slowly to get the most shrink out of it? hope this makes since brant |

Hi Brant,
Right now the fender I'm almost finished with has ink all over it as part of the metal finishing process for the video. When I've got it back to shiny metal, I'll post an update...probably next week sometime. This video stuff is harder than I thought, really have to make sure to get a lot of information condensed down to where it will fit and still make sense. Zach and I are pretty bored with the project by now...just have to keep slogging. At least I get to wield a hammer...he has to just sit there. John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
