superb fab skills! i did this job about 6 weeks ago but left all the seams oem as my car was only just showing the odd rust spot in the corner of the frame, so i caught it in time. Fortunately for me most of the work on the frame gets covered up so my amateur work never gets seen! id give me a 5/10 (i've seen worse ) but you a definite 10/10! Well done and thanks for the great vids.
Thank you for your kind comments. If you need any videos on MGB bodywork I have most probably got it. I was going to make a full version doing it all but never seemed to find the time so I'm just doing a few short ones.
Hi Des, very clean and meticulously done repair on what others night have considered a scarp panel. Do you know of anyone in Southern Ontario that does similar type of repairs? I have a 65 MGB that I am struggling to find a competent body shop for.
Sorry I'm in the UK. Is it not worth giving it a go, I originally took the car to a repair shop and was told I would be better off scrapping it so I decided to give it a go, start with a simple straight forward job and you should soon start to get better. The only thing is when you look back at your earlier jobs you wish you had done better. Good luck, Des Acetek
Hi you know at the rear both sides of a MGB GT you have a raised area. I think you called it a line. What are they actually called, mine needs replacing, are they easy to replace?
I didn't as you can see, however they look a bit like a T section which originally is welded between the inner and outer wing. So if you do replace it I would say it's difficult.
Des, you give instuction in body repair in MGB sports cars, are you a qualified panel beater/ sportscar restoration specialist? It seams to me that youtube makes eveybody a craftsman.
No, of course not, but I used to manufacture models in different materials for photography, so I guess that may of helped. I like making things take a look at the travel guitars I make or the CNC machine I designed and built during lockdown. Vintage looking amplifier valves were my last effort.
@@nigelbeaumont1109 many companies call it plastic padding, try a Google search of those words and you will see here in the UK that term used every where.
