would it be to much to ask for you to lower the volume and give a brief rundown of exactly what your doing and what tools/spray you are using? i just started at a body shop a couple months ago im still cleaning cars an scotchin bumpers but i wanna know more that way i already have an idea your shop is awesome btw very nice equipmemt.
Hey bro great footage I'm trying to learn auto body on my own by watching videos like this however before you spot weld the panel onto the car did tack weld it first???
He doesn’t. He places a lot of clamps on the panel and then starts spot welding. He doesn’t show it in this video but on other videos you can see the clamps
I am currently replacing the same side quater panel on a 2022 honda pilot I bought. It has roof damage that caused the damage there. If you have one the same as mine I would appreciate that you share a video. I am running into some unknowns.
How long did job take, start to finish? I have a similar issue. 4 door 2007 Toyota Corolla panel crushed into trunk. No damage to rear door or trunk lid. Rear fender cover also damaged. Insurance is totaling car as they say 60 hours of labor. Sounds high but not an expert.
You did a fantastic job on this quarter! Now a question for ya... At 1:38 why do you use a backer when installing the quarter panel? Are you not affraid of that being a spot for moisture to collect, possibly causing rust in the future? I understand the backer to keep everything flush...i butt weld those areas, but that also is a risk, because if a pinhole gets left behind, id also have a place for moisture to bubble out the surface. And im asking because im truely interested! I always like to find out if maybe another way of doing something could benefit the way i do a repair. Love your channel, you do some great work! Keep it up
1:08 i hate finding those big chunchs of foam that they love sticking behind panels...drives me nuts! Nice place to hold moisture and rot everything out
