MrFireman164 yes it takes time but I'd still rather do metal work then body work, I know that I went through hours and hours of sanding but I guess that's the way it goes
I would rather watch this guy then the clowns on Fasts and Loud and Misfits garage. Here you learn something from a craftsman. Look how clean and organized his shop is.
Fantastic! I try to do that same job in a 69 C10 without testing first , with the fender on and frame rubber mounting , and fail aligning later. Finally found another door and replaced.
this is my first time stumbling onto this page. i know nothing about body work but i am a tinkerer and have a good mechanical sense. this guy is awesome. borderline artist with this. i wish i knew how to weld and do all this stuff. looks like a pain in the ass yet really rewarding at the same time. subscribed.
~ Awesome, with you showing us those 12" marks and that cardboard cutout, you just told me everything I I've been wondering and worrying about for when I start doing mine so thank you so much!!!! 😎👍🏻🇨🇦
Real-world problem solving. I learned a lot from this - many thanks for posting it. (I need to sort out my own workshop to be as neat and clean as yours.)
So much tedious work. Excellent, thank you for taking the time to post. Very good and useful information. Will definitely help my welding techniques on restoring our 73 VW Superbeetle. Thanks again !
nice, wish I had seen that when I was doing my passenger door, got wavy and I just gave up and bought some.... may try my drivers now , thanks for taking the time to do that!
Bloody brilliant work there mate. I'm going to do the same repair on an old ford transit van which I'm restoring but no way will it be anywhere as good as your work. Thanks for the door repairing lesson.
followed your previous series, and gained alot from your videos. sheet metal work is NOT easy work. it's a craft that is time consuming and demands patience. thanks for putting these videos together, you have helped me immeasurably with my project (78 Bronco).
Really like the way you make videos. You show all the work and keep the talkin to a minimum. For someone like me who's trying to learn how to do this kind of work these videos are the best. Keep em comin.
Thanks very much for the video, just bought a '68 F100 that needs a couple of large rust holes patched in the bed. Being delivered tomorrow so I'm trying to learn something before I get started. Looks like I came to the right place.
Great channel. They are very educational for those of us that have not done anything like this. My grandson and I are working on a 63 Mercury 100. I have watched a lot of your video's more than once. My grandson has a channel called 63 Mercury! He is trying to share our progress and learnings as we go. We are hoping to encourage others to start their projects as well.
"Ok, here we go!" I know when I hear that I'm about to see some Excellent video instruction. I'm about to purchase a rusty old Fiat and trying to get a feel for whats in store. Gibson63 showed me more in 24 minutes than Eastwood videos did in 2 hours.
This is perfect. I am thinking, that for many old cars, it would be easier to just cut out big chunks of the car and repair or replace them, then to work with every small hole and that work with small holes would be endless and they would reappear elsewhere in small time. This whole process brought to my mind, that maybe it would be good to cut out big chunks, than clean them, cover them with a thick layer of solder through a torch (that would add thickness and reinforce them for many years and protect from rust) and then fill holes in the metal, fix any bends that would appear due to heat and reattach the chunks. This would at least save the cost of trying to get new parts.
The clamps he uses to hold the patch panel to the door skin are called panel clamps, sold at harbor freight (cheapest) and others like eastwood. They can be bought online. I use them all the time, probably have 100.
I am so wanting a wide steel/tin break and a British wheel to just have made that entire skin one piece. Have found so many plans online and I'm fighting the "I HAVE NO MONEY TO BUILD ONE" impulse LOL ! Fun video and love the Father Son factor, good for You guys. EDIT: PS, looks good !
Thanks for sharing Mate,I am about to fit a couple of 34 pickup door skins and your work has really helped,patience,patience,patience is what I have taken from your video,something I don't really have but need !
Hey guy you really good dude I enjoyed watching you remind me of my uncle he used to build old trucks keep on digging man I just subscribed to your channel
You are helping me get my 69' Chevy Panel work done and I'm curious what does the hammering and dollying do after each spot weld? i truly thanks youu for posting this my door is coming along.
