I started doing metal panel work in the 90's and i learned only from books. OK you learn from books but but learning from a video is so much easier. As is said a picture is worth a thousand words and a good video like this one is worth a thousand books. Thank you for sharing your skill

Awesome!..You're a true craftsman.

Awesome video as always!! Most bodymen that I know usually order new reproduction panels. The fact you make your own repair panels continues to amaze me. I am a professional mechanic , so this intense bodyworking is utterly amazing. Great job!!

Even 5 years ago Trev and still love watching your videos so much to learn absolutely brilliant

Thoroughly absorbing video. Never tire of watching a craftsman. Thanks for taking the time.

Great video. I have been shaping metal for my project cars for years. I learned some new things  from this video. Some of it I may have learned on a gut level from trial and error without fully integrating the knowledge until watching your work. Now I understands some of the "Whys" of my procedueres, which allows me to be more consistent. And, I  have learned some new info and techniques about stretching and shrinking metal. Your explanations along the way are very concise and articulate which is also very helpful for my learning. Thank you for being an excellent instructor .

I used to think of sheet metal as a hard rusty mess that could never be fixed without a new part, usually purchased from the manufacturer, and probably beyond my skill set to install unless it was bolted on.  Now thanks to your videos I think of sheet metal as a fluid workable thing that I can manipulate to meet my needs, stretching, shrinking, and shaping, something I can do if I am patient and thoughtful enough to understand how the metal is responding to what I am doing.  What an epiphany!  Thanks!

Hello Trev from North Carolina USA. Love all your videos. I'm new to this but whenever I try something I can hear your voice in the back of my head. Thanks for all the great tips. I'm presently working and repairing my rusty Jeep YJ.

You make the impossible look doable. Thanks. Love the fabrication with minimal tools.

Starting a ground up rebuild myself and your words of wisdom are golden nuggets as far as I am concerned. You sir are a star in more ways than one ! Try doing a referral deal with the sellers of the hammers and other tools you recommend. Could be very lucrative and stop us from buying cheap crap instead ?

Plain and simple one word WOW, keep rocking it 🤙
And 1960 was a kicking year to boot

That was an awesome lesson. Extremely helpful. Thank you very much. Teaching us how to make the needed tools is great!

Trev, always good to see an old time craftsman doing work with home made tools and techniques. We all cant afford or have the space for the tools you see on these car restoration shows like english wheels , auto hammers, metal rollers etc. I learned some nice techniques, thanks

I've been panel beating for 40 yrs, presently running a restoration business in Thailand. Thouroughly enjoyed watching your videos and the no snobbery attitude on tooling and using what works for you. Great tutorials and the results speak for themselves.

Great job and thanks for your instructions, I like that you instruct people to make tools and use various bits of kit lying around.

Excellent information given in this video.  Please do more fabrication method  tutorials.

I had to stop the video to comment, I thought this was going to be just another average video. this guy has the right attitude. thumbs up, and I subscribed.

I always get a kick out of watching my co-workers using their finishing hammers as a sledge to bash some heavy bolt or some such out, only to mangle that highly polished hammer face until it looks like the face of the Moon.  I keep all my planishing, bossing and finishing hammer faces polished. Keep up the good work.

I watched part of this video before, awhile ago. Watched it again but subscribed this time round. Love your work, technique easy to follow along.

Superpower tips and skills shared,i have begun to weld up underneath and clean up my (ugh)08tranny for a camper project,I'm going to tackle some of the bodywork next,you have aided and inspired me no end,thank you so much for these entertaining informative and satisfying videos trev I'll keep watching you and keep learning,maybe someday I'll have the skill to tackle a 1960 bedford too. Oh and a fine plannishing hammer to do it with😚
