I use Benchmark Abrasives cutoff wheels, a Milwaukee angle grinder, an Eastwood 175 welder and Si Fang flap wheels.


So, after much frustration building the drivers side fender with the hammer and being displeased with the results I bought an English wheel. In this video I make the front upper section of the passenger side rear fender. As I state frequently, I am not an expert, I am a beginner. But that being said I got the fender built and it looks better than the drivers side. The English wheel is a tool that can be used to stretch metal to accomplish a compound curve, that is a curve in the X and Y axis, to accomplish a domed shape. It can also be used to put a reverse curve in a panel, which I will do when I build the rear part of the fender.

In this video I cut a gigantic hole in the floor of the impreza and stuff it full of AWD stuff and 5" exhaust.

Man this is a ton of work, lots of chances to show off your skills. I like how you go into each section of the bodywork. You’d think doing something like this would t be too hard but there’s a lot of decisions to make with each panel.

This is going to look sick, always wondered why Subaru didn’t make a true hatchback.
