We like how to stuff around here and one of our favorites when it comes to shaping metal is Karl Fisher at the Make It Kustom channel. This kid is talented, easy to understand, and not afraid to share the lessons he’s learned the hard way. In fact, if something doesn’t go the way he expects, he shares that and shows the fix so that you don’t have the same problem when you go to tackle your project. And he works on his own projects, as well as friend’s stuff, but no project means more to him than his 1939 Lincoln Zephyr project. This one is awesome, not only because it is a Zephyr, but also because it started life as a 4-door and he’s making it into the chopped coupe that he always dreamed of owning.
It’s going to be awesome, he’s taking us through the entire build, and you will learn a lot if you just watch the video series. Here’s the second installment of the Zephyr chop, and it is all about a complicated shape to finish the door openings, but a pretty simple way to make them happen that anyone can do with some simple hand tools and a torch. Check it out.
