I needed to recharge my batteries, and nothing gets me going better than cutting up sheet metal. This is how I removed the rear sheet metal. Don't forget to like and share. My welder: amzn.to/2EWeQD5
That kind of work would scare the heck out of me but the way you describe and show your steps and thought process makes me think it's not that bad. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them!
looks all to familiar,doing a 68 coupe,two new quarter panels were welded over the old cut out ones then bogged.Outer wheel wells had crap metal welded in,front passenger floor looks like a patchwork quilt,torque boxes had sheetmetal patches and then bogged and a lot more other crap work.So the dodgy brothers have cousins all over the world worse luck.Just got to keep the faith and in for a penny in for a pound,keep up the good work your videos have been a great help,cheers.
Thanks Joe Daddy's Garage..I have now successfully removed my outer wheel well on my 65 Coup. Your informative videos are awesome for anyone working on a classic. Thanks for all the great information. You are giving us years of knowledge with your detailed explanations of why you are doing each step. Thank you.
I really love this video. Specially the high speed moments where you just grind, cut... It's very instructive to see all the steps, even the ones that don't maybe seem to be the most interesting ones, they're part of the job and for that they are as important as the other ones. Thanks again to share that with us. As usual, I'm impatient to see your next video...
Great video, I like the step-by-step method that you are using. I have been using my 4 1/2 DeWalt grinder to cut out my trunk pan and drop offs. I was going through the Harbor Freight cutting wheels pretty fast so I picked up a set (3 pack) of Black and Decker cutting wheels from Wal Mart. They are made out of metal and work very well with the DeWalt and cuts through metal very quick. Thanks for the new video.
Love the videos. It may be foolish but I got a 64.5 that need all panels replaced possibly floor pans definitely trunk pan. I've never done one so your videos are giving me so much useful info. Thanks
Jo Daddy's Garage, Thanks for the videos, it's hard enough to do what you're doing without making a video. There's not a thing wrong with owning a coupe, I had a 67 that I really enjoyed before I found my 67 Fastback. I wish that I hadn't sold it, but..... The coupe does offer better driver's visibility as the Fastback has blind spots at the right and left rear. It can be a pain changing lanes, especially to the right. I don't understand why no one has attempted to put windows where the vents are on the rear sail panels much like the 66 Shelby. I found that the Jim Osborn reprints of the factory "weld and sealant" and the factory "body assembly" manuals for 1968 would help out anyone that's thinking of attempting this type of job. All of the early Musting resto vendors carry them for about $20 to $25 for your specific year Mustang. There's also manuals for chassis, interior and electrical, FYI. Personally, I've just about worn mine out doing my 67 Fastback. They're great reference.
Buy the Steck Chisels and Tools for seam breaking. The Red 3M discs are great. Be careful of Harbor Fright discs as I almost got hit in the Head as one just exploded. Good Job Daddy!
Years ago I bought this inline air hammer from the snap on man . If you use one of those which are smaller and lighter then the full sized large one and the panel cutter insert , this job literally takes 5 minutes . Its not as noisy as the big one and in my opinion tracks better....... As I got older I started worrying more and more about using any abrasives at all . Yeah , I know , probably too late....
Wauw... I was looking at this and thought... How far will you go on.this car.... Jade " I did not saw much rustholes or bad welds.. So I think I will never done this.. 😂 you are a real perfectionist Barry.. Most guys wait til.there are holes in there cars... 😂 enjoying your lessons sir. . I keep tuned on Jade '' greets from Piet and Arnold.. My wife also know your show now and yours she likes...!! The rest she says... Again car show?.. Lol
Barry, can you do a close up of where the front bottom of the outer wheel well joins the rocker panel. Mine is looking like a dogs breakfast !!! Thankyou
Your attention to detail is amazing. I have a 65 fastback and a 68 convertible and a Hobart welder. Which is kind of like giving an infant a revolver. I always felt the rear panel by the trunk on a 65 and the bumper always looked a little curved in. and I seem to remember you saying that on one of your videos. is that rear panel kind of curved in by the gas cap? Thanks
You do very nice work! My 68 needs this exact same operation to the rear and quarter panels. Its overwhelming to see what is involved yet inspiring at the same time! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Was this car Gulfstream Aqua Metallic?
Love your videos... Got a question on the outer wheel well. I am replacing an original (2nd attempt). You said the there was a remnant of the original and you were going to leave it. Does this leave the final outcome where you clamp and weld the outer to the inner (from outside in) new outer, original outer, original inner? Or is the lip of the old outer removed? You are a sheet metal master.... Just when I think there is no way he will get that fitment....Boom perfect alignment.
Ive got a question I would like your opinion on, I have a '67 coupe and some time in the 80's it had NOS Ford quarter panels and tail panel installed, but not correctly, they are slightly misaligned. The car was rear ended on the passenger side, and that frame rail has a crack and is slightly bent, so I would like to put in a new rear frame rail, wheel house and trunk floor on the right side but I would like to re install the quarters as they are original Ford pieces and there is nothing wrong with them. Can I remove the taillight panel and quarters without damaging them? Thanks
Instead of describing each and every little thing, how about you just do the work? Most is self evident and requires none of the overly verbose dialogue: This is getting in the way of more subs, including me. Otherwise the projects are great, the workmanship is top notch.
Jo Daddy's Garage Do not change your style of videos. Nothing wrong with your dialog. You are doing a wonderful job with your videos. Just ignore the trolls.
