@@LakesideAutobodyI know nothing but I do have a question just seen different tuber show me for first time a flange tool. Would you consider using a overlay versus a butt splice for the old to new sheet metal.

@LakesideAutobody 11 месяцев назад

@@JohnnyAtlas You can used a flange tool if you prefer but in a high volume body shop there's really no time to mess with it. Cut the rust out, cut a patch, weld, knock it down, fill. That's it - every time - every hole. You can't always use the flange tool - wheel well lips, rockers, sharp bodylines and corners, around tail lights.... so the thinking is why use it anywhere - if a simple lap joint works. Here's a good video that can clear things up a bit - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JIIonJOVro4.html

@charlesbarr3561 Год назад

So, my truck is doing the same thing living in salt-road Ohio. But I can't do that kind of metal work. Haven't quite figured out what to do yet. Not sure if it's inappropriate for me to ask about how much (roughly) it costs to have a body technician do a job like that. But either way, that's some really good work.

@LakesideAutobody Год назад

@@charlesbarr3561 Thanks Charles. Odds are you probably won't find anyone to do it. They'd probably suggest a new bed or box side at least. A box side is probably around $700 so I'm thinkin' a ballpark estimate might be $2000 to have someone replace the box side. Depends a lot on the individual shop. It's very expensive today because of cost of paint, materials, labor, etc. Hope that helps a bit :)

@charlesbarr3561 Год назад

@@LakesideAutobody that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think any of the body shops I know would pick up a job like that. I should probably start looking for a bed side, the bed itself has been discontinued for a while. I appreciate the honest response. Can't wait to watch the next video. 👍

Hi Jerry, Friday comes around, and so do your videos :) Looks awesome. What gauge of metal are you using? Is it a special metal? I've heard of satin coated, whats so special about it. Wonder if you could or have a video, about the sheet metal requirements? Have a great weekend. You definitely earned it!

@LakesideAutobody Год назад

It's 20 gauge (.030") nothing special - CR sheet I think A1008 from Alro Steel in Grayling, MI. I'll write that down - good idea for a video my friend. You have a good weekend too 😊

@rolfbjorn9937 Год назад

satin or also galvanneal are a subtype of galvanized steel that has a...satin appearance among other characteristics. zinc-aluminium-other components coating over steel to sacrifice itself(galvanic corrosion) first before the iron. These coatings don't like heat from welding (arc or flame will burn the zinc alloy) , which is why automakers who use a lot more of it prescribe MIG Brazing, adhesive spot welding and adhesives. Ultra High Tensile Strength Steels also don't like heat from welding.

@mattwarrensocal 6 месяцев назад

This is great stuff. In your other videos - you are very right about lapping patches instead of butt joints - especially for amateurs like me. On the body filler - my bondo starts to set in less than 2 minutes - before I can really get it how I like it. What products or tips do you suggest to get time for spreading?

@LakesideAutobody 6 месяцев назад

Use less and less hardener until you get it to harden when you want. After a while you'll be able to hurry the hardening or slow it down depending on your needs. That's it. Oh... when it's hot out, it's going to harden fast --- cold = slow :)

@GreenallFootball 6 месяцев назад

@mattwarrensocal - is lap joints better than butt joins? Isn't a lap joint a prime spot for moisture to penetrate (and thus be a moisture- trap) and promote the same rust issues?

@johnnyseegood 10 дней назад

This is a good example of horses for courses. It's a rough and ready approach, but given the application it's perfectly passable and if I was paying for this kind of job on this kind of vehicle I'd be absolutely hoping for this approach. Not everything needs to be Concourse

@LakesideAutobody 10 дней назад

👍 Don't be fooled by these concourse guys either - they are sneaking in the filler one way or the other. Whether it is thick thick primer or body filler it's filler. I'd rather have filler than thick primer any day too. I think they're sneaking in a little filler here and there too - just like the factories do :)

Have you got any videos recommending how to handle rusted out windshield frames? My 2000 Mustang has some amount of rust beneath the windshield (havent removed it yet, is an absolute hassle, but used a 9 gauge guitar string to remove the windshield on my subaru just fine, havent tried it yet on the Mustang), and on my Subaru, in the wall that goes from the windshield flange up to the roof, theres an area where it has rusted all the way through. Having watched a lot of your vids over the last couple years, I feel like I can piece together a solution, just wasnt sure if there was a more definitive solution.

@LakesideAutobody Год назад

You can absolutely fix all of that - had a Ranger that rusted through the windshield and down the fire wall. The metal cowl (grille) had to be cut out, the repair done and painted inside the air duct/ cowl area, then the grille part welded back in and mudded up. It took some time but it can be fixed. You can do it how ever you can do it - it that makes sense :)

All these quarter-panel/arch/inner arch issues come from above - seals that leak around the screens/boots/etc etc & let water down inside the panels. Always. Keep an eye on your seals.. Stuff like this I no longer bother making up panels - I toddle along to a scrapyard & chop a better section out of one of their vehicles, weld that better section onto the car I am repairing. Cut your "donor" panel good & big - trim it to fit when you get home. Just glancing at the chassis, that vehicle is toast anyway unless the entire chassis gets a treatment pretty swiftly. I have yet to come across any proprietary treatment that works, so I made my own that does. All that aside - excellent instructional video LSA - as per usual. Practical, to the point & real-world stuff.

My "last" comment would be, when done, drown the whole repair in epoxy 2k primer - if you don't, it will rust again in no time. I have found no substitute for epoxy 2k primer. Every other form of primer is a waste of time & energy. It will rust again in jig time. Plus, use flux-core. Flux core works better for bodywork. It just does.

Beautiful work as usual. You would be hard pressed to buy a patch panel that looked that good.

Looks like this truck could be a whole mini-series ! I looked a ford truck since it had great towing capacity, but like this one, the wheel arches were rusting out again and the frame had two holes in it, wasn't even 10 years old and we have salt, but not like Michigan or Upstate NY.

Damn good job. Do you offer services to the public?

Unfortunately, I just make YT videos. I flip clean title, repairable vehicles for collision videos and rust repair is done on family vehicles. Even with doing close family member rust buckets, I'm booked for months out! Thanks for asking though MP800 :)
