Doing Tricky Metal Work on a Totaled Rolls Royce Ghost Repairing Quarter Panel Damage PART 2 

Don't you just love it when you work on one part of the car and the other part just fixes itself in the process ? 😂 I made this video a bit shorter, I know a lot of folks don't have the patience to sit through a much longer video, so I'm just experimenting here with the video durations just to see what works better and what doesn't

Thanks man, there are a lot more videos coming, stay tuned !

Cool, thank man !! I think I'll keep doing more of the glimpse, it gives folks something to look forward to in the next vid :-)

Thank you! 😊 I should have the next video out Sunday morning, stay tuned !

That was a good video, it's basically what got my channel off the ground

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you like the content !!

My pleasure Harvey, thanks for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a message. Next video on this Rolls-Royce repair should get posted Sunday morning, I promise not to disappoint 😀. Stay tuned 👍

Fix206 looking forward to it....

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Alan, I just finished up another ghost, it was not nearly as bad as the first one, but I think it makes for an interesting video nonetheless. I got a few videos in line before the new ghost videos will drop... Cheers

Thanks 🔥

I ended up basically having to take off all of the old Bondo off of that quarter panel. And reworked some of the stuff that was left behind from the prior repair. In the end everything turned out perfect 👍

Haha... I'm glad you approve 👍

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks again Juan !

Glad you think so!

🥳

It really is... Makes this type of work much easier to do

What is the name of the puller attachment?@@fix206

I for sure was able to improve that area under the body filler a bit more to make it flow little better with all of the other metal that I had to straighten back out. Smaller puller attachment works good when you're trying to keep the repair area small, other attachments with the bigger footprint will actually raise a larger area so they are really handy whenever I'm working on larger dents

I actually built that tool... Here is the link to that video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j6UgtCN5vzU.html

That puller attachment it's something that I ordered from Russia. I got it couple of years ago and not sure if I can even order it still. Plus the website that I got it from is 100% in Russian so it would be a bit difficult for a non-Russian speaker to navigate through it. So I guess the next best thing to use is some thing that Arthur Tussik is using with his spotter setup, and I included the link to that type of a puller in my spotter video description

Thank you. You did a great job on the metal work of this nice car. No doubt it will finish great!

@@PhillipHall01 AliExpress> automotive tools> Search Spotter...look for an accessory kit for about $69.00. You still need to build your own Spotter. Subscribe and search Fix206's channel. He does two walk throughs of building one for little money.

Brian Corrigan Thanks Brian. I have the accessory kit. And built the spotter. I was referring to the hand held squeeze ratchet puller with the round base used to pull out the small imperfections. I had ask Arthur Tussic about his several months ago, which is a little different than this one. ( the one that fix206 just posted for me) Arthur gave me the same link but it was shipped to Europe only. Actually if I had a choice I like fix 206 better. Unfortunately I can not purchase either . I even looked on Russian website and could not find it there either. Bummer lol. Maybe I can make one some how out of a paint calk gun?

Took around three hours to get the panel on the Rolls-Royce pulled and straightened out and ready for body filler

Aluminum process it's quite a bit different. I have seen an aluminum spotter online a while back. I think the way it works, instead of using transformers it uses large capacitors to deliver very high amperage to make the aluminum tabs stick. But I know for a fact that my set up will not work with aluminum.

If I were you, I would start with fenders first by checking to see how well the contour of the fender lines up to the front door. In my opinion dealing with the radiator support down the road would be an easier task then trying to fix a poor fit between the fender and the door. Also you may want to search around online to see if this conversion had already been done. If someone had already done it, chances are they can answer your questions much better than I can :-)

Thank you because when you repair one of my favorite car the ghost RR ,like a pro that why I ask you and yes it been done on 2007 to 2015 Cadillac Escalade front end conversion. Sir

I haven't worked on a newer Escalade yet, so I'm not too familiar with them :(

I am a little confused, I did not use plasma cutter in this video

That sounds like a good size project.... What sort of a budget are you working with?

Yep, that was me. I also remember watching your bonfire video and commenting on it :-)

@@fix206 I remember.... we had to sell the farm, so the bonfires are now just a burn pit in the back yard :-)

Спасибо, Рус !!

I actually built mine from scratch, I made a pretty detailed video about how I did it. I am currently working on some things that I will be selling in the near future. One of the things is an upgraded electronic controll unit that runs all of the functions of the spotter, but it is a lot more advanced and user-friendly then the one that I did in the video. I will also have the hand held puller for sale as well. Should have that stuff available in a month or two... But here is a link to that video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j6UgtCN5vzU.html

Here is a link to one of my videos where I explained how to build the spotter tool, also if you look in that videos description you will find a list of parts needed to complete the build along with links to purchase them from ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j6UgtCN5vzU.html

@@fix206 I've watched the video several times and seen the list of parts it's not listed, the tool i'm talking about is the red puller tool that you weld onto the panels in order to pull the dents you have it in two different sizes

Oh I see what you mean now, at the end of the video I did mention that I ordered that attachment from Russia. But there are alternatives that other people have used with good results and I left a link to the alternative puller in the description

@@fix206thank you for your time by the way your video's are great keep up the good work

Thank you, more videos coming soon !!

I've been doing this for a long time. Even worked at a couple of body shops when I was younger and basically learned everything that I know on the job. Plus I still learn constantly from many different RU-vid channels that I watch all the time. Like framework for example, that was one thing I was always afraid of doing because I did not know a whole lot about it. There is one Russian channel that I subscribe to where the guy is a really good with the frame repairs, I have watched hundreds of his videos and learned a ton from him. And I've heard him mention many times that he also watches a lot of other channels on frame repair and learns more and more from them. Learning is one thing that never stops !!

Watch everything this guy has done: Arthur tussik on youtube. Fix206 is also a big fan and has been kind enough to show you how to make a bunch of essential tools for cheap.

I sure do hate it to,,, by tin do you mean lead?

​@@fix206 well, your solder would have 70% tin and 30% lead. but you could call it that aswell, i guess.

You must live outside US where you guys call it tinning... In US it's being called leading... It's kind of an old school technic, before modern body fillers where being widely used... I've never used that stuff, but would like to learn how to work with it some day
