Ewhen, thanks for posting the video. Can you share more about your "gizmo." Is it the shrinker/english wheel combo shown in the video clip or do you have additional tricks/tools to form the fenders?
I recently bought a Harbor Freight shrinker/stretcher on sale but don't have an English wheel.
Hi Tom
I've saw some of Your posts, did you write
being "old" ? Well ! I forbid you to say such
thing, for the "crown" belongs to ME as the
oldest F@rt on this forum. If I can survive
the next 4 months Iwill be 90 springs old.
My shrinker-stretcher is from Harbor too.
The Stand was done using scrap (cheap)
metal, as for English-wheel, the flat one
on top and slightly curved one on the bottom
was done by hand and attached to the Stand
with proviso to squeeze both wheels together.
Harbor also sells set of wheels, but I don't like
them cause the top wheel's surface has
"nurling" pattern and it leaves scratching
marks on aluminum.
I try to make design of the stand, despite
of being half-blind (macular degeneration)
Btw. One of my cars has flat surface fenders
and they look more pleasant to me than the
curved ones, so there's no need for En-Wheels
