Brian Stitt was one of our latest Pro Shaper students who took the 240 Hour extended learning program.
The owner of the Riley Sprite Mike (from TN) paid Brian’s tuition to repair his 1937 Riley Sprite which he has owned since 1974.
With minimal previous metal shaping experience, Wray guided Brian on how best to proceed. First off the boot lid for the Riley has been missing since the car was purchased by Mike in 1974. With only pictures to go by, Brian under Wray’s supervision made a metal buck for the right side, after shaping the right side of the boot lid in aluminum, Brian created a flexible shape pattern, turned it inside out to shape the other side.
Another student at the time 19 y/o Lundyn, helped shape the left rear fender sections for Brian as the original was a collection of bodged repairs.
Brian then recreated the left front fender, also a collection of bodged repairs, using the flexible shape pattern system. Both Brian and Lundyn followed directions very well and their combined results speak for themselves.
