got my intro to Runge thru Christopher's run with Jay Leno's Garage.. wherein we get a wonderful intro to the talents of this modern day master of all things curvy .. Viewing this secment nearly brings up goose bumps of admiration for the exacting hand work . My hats,boots and gloves are off to you Chris plus I'll give a bow to the excellent film work !

4043 rod is a stronger rod used when high tensile strength is needed and the weld is not going to subjected to alot of flexing. When I am tacking panels and want to keep things cool. I will keep a air wand close by and between welds I will blow the panel down. 30 seconds of air really cools a panel off fast

Post ww2 my father was a welder at Douglas Aircraft. He welded with hydrogen. He said it was much better than acetylene. He used gas on aluminum until the late sixties when he finally broke down and bought a Hobart tig.

From my limited work on restoring very old cars I often see wheeling marks that form a diamond or cross hatch pattern on the inside surfaces of panels. Have you or do you use this technique at times? I'm fascinated by your work and can identify very much with your self taught staus.

enjoy the video and the story of the first car. Purchased a disassembled Ghia to use as a base for my first aluminum body build . How many sheet do you use for a small car like those? ( roughly)

It depends on how you do your inner paneling. The skin usually takes about 4- 4x8 sheets. I would suggest 3003 .060 Alu.

Tack welding is just to help you sort of get it and keep it in place, until you can actually weld.

nice job! I think you would do a better welding if you shielded the back of your welding with the argon, you would'nt have to do the job a second time on the other side of your panel. my technic is a homemade diffuser behind, holded by players.
7 жыл бұрын
Thank you Jeremie. I have heard about this but never tried it. Do you have a separate tank of Argon for it? Would you use a lower pressure on your Argon supplied through the torch when back gassing?
@jeremielegroux4487

RÜNGE KAROSSERIE hello, it can be either another tank of argon or a Y pipe fitting on your pressure gauge with a tap on it, the gaz pressure is quite low. The trick is in the homemade device to hold the sheets together, it gives a little space between the sheets, and it is the gaz diffuser in the same time. I made them like the "interlocks" clamps but added a diffuser on it, and I move it as I weld. The diffuser is pretty simple, it is just a pipe with little holes in line every 5 mm or so.. the value of this gap should be the same thickness as your sheet metal..

why don't you weld your panels with oxyacetylene? you wouldn't have to file the weld nor weld both sides

I wonder what one of those fenders would cost an owner/customer??? Say if you smashed in a fender on the car and it had to be replaced. Beautiful work and artistry. I always wondered how those beautiful cowlings were formed on the old planes.
