I have finally finished my do-it-yourself flare video.

Here is the description:

Custom Metal Bodywork #1 DVD is ready for shipping.

Stretching , shrinking, and smoothing sheet metal using simple tools and techniques.

Make fender flares by stretching the existing sheet metal.

Make flares from scratch using roll-forming.

Learn how to use a hammer and dolly.

Use a shrinking disc for custom shaping and metal-finishing.

Homemade tools, and using air tools to speed things up.

A little bit about design and using templates, and flow strips.

The main focus is on the Porsche 914, and the Karmann Ghia, but these techniques will work on a lot of different cars.

The DVD is $40 delivered in the US. It comes in a simple DVD sleeve to keep packaging and shipping costs down.

A small percentage of DVD players will not play DVD-R, but DVD players are cheap these days. If there is enough interest, I will make VHS tapes available as well.

Thank you for waiting for this DVD. I have complete control of Custom Metal Bodywork #2, so it should be available this summer. This is my first effort at video, so please forgive minor glitches in the video. Hundreds of hours went into making it.

Custom Metal Bodywork #2 will go into more detail on scratch built flares, showing more techniques for bending solid stock and tubing for edge structures, roll-forming metal over your leg (#1 has some of this) or a saw horse, stretching and smoothing metal off the car to speed up custom work. We will branch out to other custom projects that will help you make almost any body modification you desire.

Also in the works over the next year or so: A DVD on body work /dent repair, fixing oil-can dents, and metal-finishing for the do-it-yourselfer. Let me know if you are interested. Lots of interest will speed up the project.

I accept paypal using my email address: ghiafab@msn.com or a check made out to John Kelly:

A special thank you to everyone on 914club for their support and encouragement!

Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com

Awesome news. Congrats John.

Just so you know, slight fiscal bottleneck here, so I won't be ordering for a week or two, but I am definitely in.

Above is the roll-forming method...there is some information about this technique in the DVD...more in the next one. The picture below is of fenders stretched on the car..no welding...this first DVD covers this method extensively.

Thanks, John www.ghiaspecialties.com ghiafab@msn.com

Mueller, you should come up and attend the next class session! Boy, nothing like hands on experience. Banging away on some poor suckers, whoops, I mean a fine example of example of restoration and customizing.

Maybe we should get a group of bay area suckers together and give John a "vacation". Everyone chips in for airplane and then we have a weekend tech session. I could scare up a car to flare in about 10 minutes and we could have it at my shop where there is lots of room and we can work all night long if we want.

I'd be willing to chip in for that, Mark. Fab idea...

Yes.. We knew John when he was a nice guy. Not that guy who beats his kids on the Discovery channel... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Paypal sent to the nice guy before Discovery corrupts him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Thanks guys! DVDs on the way. I'm available for any questions that might come up after watching it several times. I have a number of metalshaping videos, and I usually get some nifty idea almost everytime I watch one...usually watch them 2-3 times to let the stuff sink in. I appreciate your support.
