Jaguar XK120 top chop 

Thanks a lot. Client is happy, so do I.

Thanks a lot Steve

THAT is really kind of you. Thanks a lot for taking the time to tell me what you think of my work.

merci beaucoup. C'est vrais que je n'ai jamais essayé avec une autre torche, je devrais faire ca, merci du conseil.

le TIG ferai bien l'affaire aussi, mais le trouve le chalumeau beaucoup plus facile à utiliser, meilleur contrôle du bain de fusion, pénétration plus sûre, on voit mieux ce qu'on fait, lunette plus legère, bec plus legère que la troche, et surtout je trouve ca plus beau ;-). Je trouve la soudure également plus facile à planer, même si la zone de chauffe est plus large qu'au TIG

Testd and approved by the owner, with an aviation style seat

Pourquoi pas? On adore ca, on trouve ca plus facile dans ce cas ci (tole de 1, bien galbée et coupe parfaite

Ce sont des Pica deep hole ink marker

Merci !👍

What does that mean? 🤭

@@slgclassiccars4098 Це означає - wonderful ) your technique is excellent. Excellent gas burner and weld pool control. Why don't you always use filler wire when joining parts? UA.

@@Star69ca it's not always needed if the cut is perfect. and without filler, there is nothing to grind, It's sooo boring to grind!! :-)

@@slgclassiccars4098 this is the trouble with semi-automatic welding. ))

toujours mieux en fonte. Mais la mienne doit être restaurée donc j'utilise plus la mécano soudée

@@slgclassiccars4098 Oui parce que la mécano soudé, je la regarde et elle ne bouge pas, c'est rare. C'est pas comme la moulureuse qui se tortille.

I don't understand what youvare trying to say.

@@slgclassiccars4098 two simple statements. They are quite clear. I am making, by myself, a small two seat Packard speedster which they never made. My metal work is passable to me and is made at a low cost because I am essentially free. The astonishing skill of the panel beater is mind blowing. It is hard to guess the cost of just that single piece of metal that is featured in the video. I would pay/charge about $125/hour for this consummate craftsman’s time. Let’s say he spent four days, 32 hours hammering and rolling, cutting and welding. You get to my number pretty quickly. Now who would pay that? The patron/customer who wants it, that’s who, nobody else, because he believes it is worth it. And that’s how you justify building a million dollar custom/restored/modified astonishing Jaguar made for a guy who thinks it is worth it. Me, I’ll make my own dream for exactly the same reason. I hope this helps.

That's a special build for a client. I made this for 65€/h, that's what I charge for every single hour I spend for a client, whatever I make. I'm glad to read that you think it worth more 😉

@@slgclassiccars4098 you and the guys have astonishing skills. Have a great Christmas

the point was just to make the client's dream come true. That's all.

This is not a rare car, and this is the owner's life dream.

🤣
