On this episode of Make It Kustom, it's "Just the Tip" time again! Here I show you a very useful and easy way to transfer a cut line from one area to another, by making a flexible shape pattern out of masking tape, so that they are an exact match! On this 1971 GMC Jimmy, I had to cut away some of the wheel well to allow for clearance with these larger tires and I want to make sure both sides are identical!

@@MakeItKustom I agree with hot rod dad your channel must be the best kept secret on the tube , I honestly just stumbled in here the other day and thought this was a discovery Channel or pilot show , very well done and your craft is definitely not the big network and that’s a true complement. Not to say all of them are crap but they somehow turn kustom into a reality / drama assembly line parody. I guess they say any publicly is good publicity ? However I’m a bit old school if your best at your craft they will stand inline to get in your shop so do be carful when they approach … love what your putting out it’s well worth my time . Look like a new sub to me !

Wray Schelling gives a great video tutorial on making flexible templates. He makes then with layout lines for symmetrical panels. He rebuilt a jaguar XKE bonnet (hood) recently and you wouldn’t believe the compound curves involved in that, but it was perfect. Thanks for the video.

Been doing that forever, Alum foil works great also.

@MakeItKustom 3 года назад

@Tyrel_156 2 года назад

@MPM Welding with foil are you able to flip the pattern inside out, or do use it to transfer an exact replica?

@bgoodworks4664 2 года назад

Your attitude and shared knowledge are appreciated. I suggest using something harder than fingers to meld tape layers - hardwood, plastic, etc. One sharp edge will help keep this in mind.

I just tried this on valance panel for my 66 Mustang. My original had backup light holes cut in it. I found a good used original but it didn't have backup light holes. I wondered how I could accurately cut the holes into it and remembered this video I saw awhile back. I used the tape for the shape and cut out the holes and laid it out on the other panel. Worked perfect! Very accurate. Thanks for making this video.

you really should mention Wray Schelin's ProShaper Workshop channel where the "flexible shape pattern" has been explained and demonstrated many years before you do it...

@bradsmith9189 3 года назад

The idea was originally thought up by Wray Schelin at Pro Shaper Workshop if I’m not mistaken.

@MakeItKustom 3 года назад

You’re right he has used it a lot but I’m pretty sure this was it around long before him. The coach building world has been using patterning techniques for a long time.

@stricht8 2 года назад

Did you acknowledge the great Wray Schelin for pioneering the flexible shape pattern?!

@MakeItKustom 2 года назад

Absolutely but his technique is better than this one. This is just the transferring lines. The truly transfer shape it is a different technique

If you wrap serane wrap over the part first and use a small piece of tape to hold it and then wrap the tape.. comes off without stretching the mold and no stickyness

@joshhayl7459 3 года назад

🔵 With the exception of silicone-tape (which is made to be stretched-over a workpiece), tape should NEVER be 'Pulled-tightly',..... Tape should be "Layed-in-place without slack",....not 'Stretched' into place. Although the use that he's putting this tape to is not going to have to remain where it is for any considerable length of time, tape that is 'Stretched' into place (under-tension) will come loose all by itself in a VERY short time. (Especially on corrugated-cardboard boxes!).

@tompeace5359 3 года назад

If you stiffen the template with cardboard and fill with car body filler, you have a form that works well for shaping ABS plastic with a heat gun and gloves. The form probably wouldn't hold up when shaping sheet steel but it worked a treat repairing a motorbike fairing.

@scott-dcw-1741 3 года назад

Cool concept but I'm confused on the application. The goal was more room for the wheels right? Why not just cut a triangle shape out of the face edge, leaving the arch, then bend it over, weld it shut and done because You said you used a piece of the back of the drivers fender? Why? Maybe there was rust involved?

@MakeItKustom 3 года назад

I thought that aesthetically it looked much nicer to do it this way. It looks as if nothing has been altered at all. There was no rust involved

A little trick with the sticky side of the tape. Slap it on your jeans or shirt, and you get a layer of lint to knock the sticky down to a manageable level.
