2 videos in a week, you're spoiling us!! More of these short vids would be great. The welding helmet/arc short seemed to come out really well, and who doesn't love an arc shot 😉
This is amazing Richard We are talking this morning a out the nova ans turns out its probably going to need this exact fix on potentially both sides. Great timing on the video. Got the seats and the carpet out today and more of a bucket of worms but I'm more excited than worried about it. Now ot clean it up and get started. Hardest part is finding those spot welds I find
Yes we were just talking about that. I figured when i saw your video this is exactly what i though when you said you weren't going to replace the entire floor. Good luck on your car it will be really cool when its finished.
@carthageclassiccars good call video already helped a lot. If the structure in the front seats is good I figure I'll patch both side front and back. More labor Intensive bit I'd rather keep the metal under the seats
Thanks for the feedback, I know sometimes what I like to see on youtube videos is not always for everyone else. I might try and do smaller repairs as side videos in the future.
Great demonstration. Every bit of advice and tips are winners. What wire diameter are you using for the mig? What kind of protection can you expect from an E coat primer?
Thank you.... in this video I am using .030 MIG wire. Most of the time that is loaded in my MIG because external body parts where I would go down to lets say a .026 I try and TIG. The E coat primer offers rust protection but nothing like a true epoxy primer
I see here your using Ospho and on your challenger video you remove it with your air belt sander where you are going to spot weld. Did you do that here? Do you usually ospho the whole area where its going to have metal overlap and only grind off the weld locations before the weld through primer? Or do you grind down the whole area where there will be metal overlap?
I tried not o focus the Ospho here on the areas that I was welding and yes went over before weld through primer with the belt sander. The reason I skipped that step is not to keep saying the same stuff each video but I use the same process.
I personally think in this situation the patch panel is the proper best repair. There is just too much damage and the metal was too thin. Each one of those holes would get larger with even the small brazing heat. The MIG would waste so much gas and wire also and never come out as clean.
