Metal Shaping 1936 Ford Chopped Door Tops! No Car, Just a Template

Building custom parts for a client is tough, but doing it when the car is hundreds of miles away? That takes it to another level. In this video, I’m fabricating custom chopped door tops for a classic 1936 Ford 3-Window coupe using nothing but a wooden template sent in by an out-of-state client, and an original section of a factory door top. When you don't have the actual car in the shop, there is zero room for error. To pull this off, I’m blending traditional metal shaping techniques with some advanced equipment to ensure the metal matches the wooden buck perfectly. I'll take you through the entire process of forming the custom radiuses, maintaining flow lines, and the overall concept of how shaping works. #metalshaping #hotrod #fabrication #1936ford #choppedtop
