We all need friends like these.

I know it was said before but this is defiantly the best way to do advertising. You get to actually see the products in use. I know I honest to goodness tried your epoxy primer, sanding blocks, chassis paint, and palm sander all from stumbling across your youtube videos. In case anyone is wondering all of the above products I have used work great. I also ended up getting their powder coating gun and powder which is awesome!

My car does not need repairs (fingers crossed) and I didn't come here for informative purposes. I simply came because I realize I quite enjoy the ambiance of guys working on cars in their shops knowing and showing a lot of stuff. The processes of automotive manufacturing, maintenance, and repairs are truly intricate and it is quite pleasing to get to kick back and relax in my comfy living room and watch people show you the journey

I really dig this series! Being in school for collision repair these videos have actually done there job well and have helped me apply some techniques into my own projects as well as customers vehicles. Big shoutout to Kevin for all his knowledge and passing it on to us!

its cool to do this job with every tool on the planet!!!!

It' great to see how many useful tips you can pick up when you watch guys who know what they are doing.

I haven't enjoyed a car program/host this much since Gearz with Stacy David! Awesome channel!

Guys my 55 Bel Air 4 door sedan only weighed a little under 3,300 pounds, I had a 57 Ford 2 door custom with 272 CI engine that weighed in at 2,800 pounds. I was very surprised since I grew up through the 50’s and 60’s. I honestly think the structural integrity in the way the fenders etc. were shaped. The 67 Camaro I have now is only 3,240 pounds. The large rounded shapes were like having a pipe and we know how strong that is. Now days the metal is almost 1/2 the thickness of those days. The plastic, fiber glass and carbon fiber are usually pretty thick and adds a lot of weight. Of course the new ones are safer for several reasons. You guys do a great job and I have used a lot of Eastwood products over the past 20 years and have never been disappointed. Keep up the great work. 👍🇺🇸🤙😃👍👍

I watched a lot of your videos and learned a lot of techniques I own a 1990 firebird formula and plan to use the knowledge I've received by watching your videos to successfully complete my paint job. Thanks for making these educational videos and keep up the awesome work for weekend warriors like myself.

Passion in your work no shortcuts taken do it once do it right you guys don't really realise what an impact you guys have on us trying to learn ourselves with limited tools and experience thanks a million for your videos

As another guy said in a comment this is a great way to advertise your products. I've never heard of that poly primer before but I'll be getting me some when I finally break down and paint my car.

That impala is sweet such low mileage can't believe how well its been preserved. Its mint..

awesome to see another kiwi displaying their panel work skills.

i am working on a 1981 camaro i like the 2nd generation and first generation F bodies they are really great cars. i'm usiing 12% silica clear epoxy on it. then painting over it then clearing it again.

I've just got my 92 tore down completely to the body. Time to start cracking on that bodywork so I can get this bad mama painted🤟❤️

Hey, shout out to Chris. Always nice to see kiwis doing well abroad, wish you were local to lend some of your experience in straightening out my 57. These videos are a great help tho - Thank you Eastwood, Kevin and your crew

I have Sparkomatic speakers in my Bird, and with the factory enclosures and new Radio, they actually sound awesome. Yup, I still have the box they came in !

Good job guys,I start to fall in love with Eastwood

This is the best way of advertising!

I really enjoy your videos, as a 3rd year apprentice I'm always learning new things and your videos are a great tool thanks

First saw Kevin with a Mullet ! ANyway just primed my machine last night @20:16, D'OHH. I used urethane 2K....learning something new everyday....

Love this guy and his tips, been watching him for years!!

Much appreciated for the enlightenment 😎👍🏽”goes show the light shines somewhere in this atmosphere. 🙌🏽

Hey guys I have 29 people helping me and a endless supply of parts and product and a huge place to work on it but I did it all by myself look at what I made. Thanks for.the.vid.

Wow, it really took him that long to figure out that you could knock the filler a d paint out of the box sander to reuse sandpaper??

Kevin. Kewl to hear you are from BC. I'm in Surrey. I'm at the same stage now on my 67 Mustang project t as you are on Z sled in this video. I am trying to get my car straight and ready for paint.

Glad to see more of the Camaro. The earlier videos were great then the time with the Camaro dropped off. I stopped watching after 4 and am glad to see lots more Camaro

Great vid. Ironically, the other day I just weighed a '59 Impala 2dr HT Sport coupe with 283, Powerglide, and power steering. 3,875 lbs.

Love kevin just a great guy with great knowledge and explains everything very well. I meet him at truck nationals in Carlisle Pennsylvania years ago. Thanks to him I've painted alot of cars for people and painted some of mine. Thank you Kevin for helping me doin auto body

This is great info. Stage by stage I come here for info. Great products with great demos. of the products. Thanks

1963 Impala SS. I need this car very bad.

That gap trick is awesome.

Me and 5 of my brothers are auto body techs. It runs in our family

Man, I love those old Z28s.

Thanks for the video Kevin and you are lucky to have such a good videographer

Great video man! I recently painted our fibreglass RV and definitely learnt a lot watching this. Can wait to apply some of it on my next project 👍

I am restoring a 1970 Camaro. Great video. !!!

My paint code is PSB on my truck bright silver metallic can I use white primer and use that kind of paint over it and it will work or better to use a light gray primer wanna know.

You know I am not an auto body man but I can be pretty much be a handyman that will try anything to save myself a dollar. I have an old 2000 chevy work van that was a rust bucket at the bottoms on both sides. I mean I tore out the loose rust from the bottom up. I guess about 8" of exposure. The cavity inside looked good. So anyway I wedged a 1X4" board the length of the area underneath so to only catch drips or to give it hold support till it set up. For doing the repair & sprayed Great stuff expansion foam into the cavity . It foamed up good & tight & after hours of letting it dry & get hard , I then used a hack saw to cut the sides level to the metal. I sanded only on the meal near it so to spread body putty over it with a hardner & then sanded it so to spray paint it '& bygolly it turned out pretty nice & a lot better than what it originally was. It was a hell of an improvement Now I did not take time for to prime & perfect it as my attempt was only to improve it & prevent it getting worse,.not make it like new. I did this nearly 6 months ago & it's holding it'self like gold. Course it's obvious it's not professional, but it works for me as I am not trying to profit on any sale of it or hide the defects. I work on what I can do for myself & I am content with it. So anyway don't laugh, it's paid for. L.O.L I am the good man to have on hand, Dave the handyman home repair guy & free self defense trainer, if you RU-vid me ( Dave Overbey) I will show you how I defeat the hands & feet using my technique. WithIn short time opposed to others training time you could be fight ready on time to fight most anybody of any style anytime with a smile. If so you liked my style I created, please initiate me a thumbs up & feel free to reply. My training is also easy without the punishment other fight clubs inflict as in truth this training can be done in your own basement anytime as it does not require the bologna & overtraining most clubs will train on or under. It's about fighting smarter not harder. It's not the muscle hustle that victory happens it is developing habits that reacts on a thoughtless reaction to every action. Habit's are habits that once you have it your stuck with it. So the importance of building the right habit's is crucial opposed to building the wrong ones & you will then have it But it's gotta be done redundantly slow as you go & the power & speed will naturally come. Haste makes waste developing the bad habits will delay your improvement. Take your time & chime in with the right habits fighting smarter not harder for it becomes a thoughtless reflex of action to counter action for if so you need think of his next move you will be punched / kicked multiple times before you ever react. Let the habits built into a reflex do the fighting a fight for you. Watch me Dave Overbey on RU-vid & don't forget me a thumbs up. L.O.L Good luck

Might have been the first Mary Kay car they were going to give away!

Is this the same guy from overhaulin? That show was badass

Hey Kevin more excellent work! Wish I had your guys to help on my last one! I'm sure you know this but taping up to style lines can help protect then too. Also got a piece of white foam project board (craft section), used a black wide tip marker to make parallel lines every couple of inches & hang it behind the panels I'm working on. With light on the board & overhead lights dimmed it really helps spot any defects needing more work. Keep up the good work - love to see the progress.

I like the stud welder. I have been trying to figure out how to take some of the dings out of my 1964 Ford F250 and this looks doable because in some of the areas the is no way to go to the back of the panel. The truck has sentimental value since I bought it from my Dad in 1980 when I graduated from High School.

wish i had friends to help my tackle my car.

I have the Same camaro and this helps me out alot thinks for the grate video

GREAT!!!! How big is ya head.,, funny sht Sounds like I'm in my own garage. Great work. Thank You for all the great info a videos.

my dads name is randy jones. and in david jones. although not the same jones i just find it funny in painting cars and one of your guys is randy jones and thats my dad.

I love those cars, remember fellas they’re only original once

This was Great I had 1 question. After epoxy has lost 5 day window before applying filler do you need to re spray another coat or sand to metal in those spots?

Dry guide coat works best. It gets in any pin hole. And every sand scratch too.

11:17 Kevin must of had the fumes going to his head at this point. So great

Great video Kevin. I cant wait to get to this step on Project Overkill. Lots of great info here. It was nice to see all of the guys coming together to work on Zed Sled.

What happened to Kevin Tetz? he was an excellent and very informative personality for Eastwood

I will gladly continue to use aerosol cans, haven't had a bird strike yet and bugs,are what gives texture.

back when cars where cars and works of art not this modern day plastic fantastic crap.

What a beautiful car. Love the el Camino version to

The book of body work

I'm building an '80.....can I borrow your crew?

I truly appreciate Eastwood products but lately shipping been taken 10 plus days to get to my house and Washington's date I no longer can wait that long

My dad spit shined his Camaro, everyone thought he used laquer! He said "I swear "I" spitshined it!

Foul! Just two episodes ago you said that this was a one person project, and that you *don't* have 100 guys to help you do it in a day. Yet... you did.

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode of this monthly web series. In the next episode, Kevin shows you how to upgrade the 10 bolt rear and brakes. Then, more body work and paint.

Rather than using a wire brush to clean out sandpaper of sanding dust, next time try a soft brush, takes it right off and in no way affects the sandpaper grit

More than one way...great advice!

i watch these because i want to learn how to work on cars i want to become a mechanic and work on cars but i have no money or job im 15

Awesome work! Cant wait to see zed sled in paint! Loving this series!

amazing work fellas, but it is a bit intimidating because it seems like you need the luxury of a big garage where you can leave your ride bare for a good while

There's some really good info for people wanting to learn here. Chris Slee wouldn't be from New Zealand by any chance would he? With body-lines, when a sharp line is wanted, you can run some 1/4" masking tape just a hair from the line and sand to that.... just my 2cents worth. Bad practice to strangle a panel hammer though, they can't breath when you do that........

This is fun ! "pinholes" becomes "pimples," "block" becomes "lock", "wet edges" = "wedges", "immaterial" = "a material", "spraying" = "spring", "dents" = "Salinas", "2K" = "to Kate" ! Have you hired a stand-up comedian to write all this ?

Once you remove the paint and rust from a vehicle, do you have to automictically have to place paint on it or can it be put on at anytime?

I saw one of the guys use a da on the body filler when should you use a sanding block and when should you us a da

I have a 1960 Bellaire just bought in Kentucky ship it back to Houston

Когда штукатуры-маляры , после стройки и всей бригадой, делают кузов автомобиля. 😃👍

How does one get into this kind of work, I'm 20 years old and want to work on my own car but lack the experience and just want to be taught and learn.

Just started on a 1958 Ford F-100.

thank you i always look forward to your videos

amazing the lack of ppe in this video.

Great story on the 59

Very good thank you

i sprayed this last night with a 1.8 tip shit hardens fast! only mix a pint at a time or else your gonna have half wasted and as soon as its out of the gun clean it instantly i mean within minutes its hard

Loved this video! Picking up a few tricks as well!

Stroker kits. If I understand stroker kits,they involve a crankshaft with a longer throw,replacing a crankshaft with a shorter throw which brings the top of the piston level with top of the block. now a crankshaft with longer throw will result in the top of the piston going higher than the top of the block. how can I stop this from happening? Thank you.

Very nice

After the lead was removed from the sail panels, what was the filler used to replace it?

How much do you think it would cost for a 65 coupe to get done? 5k, 10k?

How much for the rims at 1:18 I would like them for my personal 81 z28

Your vids 're very enlightening and show lots of tricks about what bodyman needs to know. My question is , since sandin' methods vary , do you shoot polyester primer after 80 grit or you go up to 120 ? And does that apply with any brand's poly ? Thnx

Great episode, was nice to see a more tech video this time. Keep'em like this. Mine is still stuck waiting to paint the underside without a rotisserie, but think I'm gonna go with 2x4 stands an working on my back. Is this car getting the flush mount glass, cause might help to test fit trim an moldings now with all those built up edges.

Great to see excellent craftsmans at work! I have been doing Auto Body , and paint work for over 15 years. the industry has nothing , but hackers left nobody knows how to truly work on a car anymore.

Will Geico take this must time and perfection to paint a truck ?

Hi fantastic video i have just a quick question i have stripped my car to bare metal but one guard i took the bog out of it has low and high spots do i tap the high spots down what would you do

I wondered where Kiwi Classics got the name from. Listening to the owner Chris at 10:02, it became obvious.

So I want to see if I'm understanding this process. I feel a little overwhelmed. So you sand to metal, then fast etch, then wipe off with pre painting prep, then epoxy primer, then use the filler primer, then primer surface, then paint and clear coat? Thank you for any advice.

Thanks for the lessons

Company workers joins

what did you guys end with grit wise before applying bondo to the deck lid? looked wayyyyy to smooth

they had cb receiver convertors too

if you add an hs filler within 48hours to your epoxy u dont need to sand the hardened ep, instead of the the easier to sand filler

I grew up thinking bondo was a bad thing, but everyone uses a ton of it
