Blacksmithing & Metal Shaping the Austin-Healey 3000 Shroud

I filmed a portion of how to make gauges but forgot to put it into this video so tomorrow there will be a quick clip of how I make a gauge.

This episode is a little different. Wray needs to adjust the arrangement of the shroud where the fender fits up. Instead of just using a cardboard gauge, Wray had me take a 1/4" thick piece of flat stock and bend it to the part of the shroud that isn't damaged. I did this by hammering the sides of the stock to create the perfect curve where it fits inside the shroud.

With the flat stock installed Wray takes a slapper to the damaged portion of the shroud and slaps it until it fits the profile of the flat stock. Then he proceeds to planish the shroud with a hammer and dolly.

At the end of the video Wray shows exactly how to bend the flat stock with and without heat to arrange it to fit the headlight.
