Steps to make a panel: 1952 Cadillac Convertible (Part 2)

We're back at the convertible and we have a plinth panel that needs to much work to restore so Wray is building it from scratch. As you saw in part 1 of this mini series Wray just added area to two parts of the panel using a body hammer and caulking tool. In this episode, using the flexible shape pattern and gauges we determine the next step which is to add area to the plinth plate where the radius meets the flange. We mark out the area and bring it over to the English wheel. Using our high crown wheel, in just a few minutes the radius area has mostly been filled and now we need to arrange the panel. Using a wooded dolly as a fulcrum Wray adds the radius which is confirmed by the gauges we made. Now it's time to add more area to the panel where the radius starts and ends. We do this using some clay, a caulking tool and hammer making sure we hit the correct spots. You'll notice there were a lot of steps to get to this point and we want to show you everything and not skip any parts, which is why this series will be a 4 parter. We hope you enjoy our series!
