Techniques We Use

English Wheel Usage

The English wheel is a vital tool in our panel manufacture process. This traditional piece of equipment allows us to shape metal into complex curves with precision. By working the metal over a series of wheels, we can create smooth, flowing shapes that match the original contours of your vehicle. This technique is essential for ensuring that our panels maintain the integrity and beauty of classic designs.

Lead Loading

Lead loading is a time-honoured technique that we apply to achieve a seamless finish on our panels. This method involves using lead to fill small gaps and imperfections, resulting in a surface that is smooth and ready for finishing. Lead loading not only enhances the aesthetic quality of the panels but also contributes to their durability. The result is a flawless look that reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that HR Classics is known for.

Combination of Craftsmanship and Modern Precision

At HR Classics, we blend old-world craftsmanship with modern technology to achieve exceptional results. While our techniques are rooted in tradition, we also utilise modern tools and equipment to enhance our fabrication process. This combination allows us to tackle unique and complex restoration projects effectively, ensuring that each panel we create meets the highest standards of quality and precision.
