Kirkham Motorsports University Making a Bronze Fender for a Coupe

We had a customer ask us if we could make a bronze Coupe. We decided to make a fender to see if it could be done. We have other exotic manufacturing secrets videos on YouTube.

You guys rock. That's awesome.

@bordercollie1961 Thanks :)

truly an amazing video. How long did it take to make the fender?

[KirkhamMotorsports1]

@hennys63, It takes about 8 man hours to make the fender and 8 hours to polish it. This doesn't include the time digitizing the car, machining the dies, or making the stretch form.

@KirkhamMotorsports1 I am a tool and die maker, so I can appreciate the time digitizing the car and making the die. I find the way you did the fender, fascinating....very nice work

@hennys63 Thanks for the kind words. :)

good to see the art of metal shaping is not being used here. . . .just chasing. . . anybody with 1 day of training can do this. . . .

@Arnthorg, The stretch press is (in its own way) a power tool. It helps tremendously. I am not sure what other power tools could be used. We are, however, certainly open to any ideas!

@CarsInDimension Thanks for the link on your site. I'll check you guys out. Glenn at instapundit is a great guy. He inspired me to organize the first Tea Party in Utah. I spend a good chunk of each day calling, emailing, and persuading media and legislators to stop spending all the money.
