BE A FLY ON THE WALL
, as two metal guys, Richard Ufheil and Kent White, ``The Tin Man" go after a pair of 1935 Packard front
fenders needing fender (or wheel) arch replacement.
Fender Arches Video, as reviewed by author and craftsman Guy Lautard
Excerpt: ``For someone who aspires to learn more about forming sheet metal into smooth curves and beautiful
shapes, I think there is more than $40 worth of info here - it's just another way to increase your
knowledge of what it is you want to get better at. It is unlikely you could get a master tradesman to
come to your own shop, and teach you as much as you can learn from this tape, even for 5 or 10 times as
much money. ``A friend of mine who does auto body restoration work watched the tape. Within a week, he
called to tell me he had used some of the stuff he learned on the tape in making a new set of dies for
their Pullmax-type forming machine, using some of the tricks Kent explained to Richard Ufheil on the
tape. When tried, the new die worked better than any others they had."
