- Next week, we weld it up and push for the finish! I had a short week this week, but I still got some work done! I got the trunk lid patch panel finally fit in place, did some sandblasting, and put on some weld through primer along with some Eastwood rust encapsulator. This project is so close to being done!
Welcome to my Channel! I had another great week in the shop beating and banging on my Hemi powered Model A Special Coupe Traditional Hot Rod build.

I have thought about that internal frame coating, I think you are on to something there. I have a dremel set, but I burned it up a while back. and on the cart, yessir, the round ends might work out real good for some adjusters. As always Rodney, you know just what to say! appreciate you friend!
Happy anniversary! Looks like that patch panel fits pretty nicely there. I think you need an air saw, those are pretty handy on spots like that.
Thanks! and I do have a air saw, but I picked the reciprocating saw because of time. The air saw generally takes a bit longer to get the job done.
Love it man. I dig that you are taking your time like a restoration guy would yet you are building a bitchin trad rod! Ive really enjoyed this meticulous trunk lid series
Thanks. A lot of people don’t understand why it is taking so long. But I think if you see it from the right perspective, restoration takes longer than modification, and saving old rusty and bent up parts is sometimes a difficult task I’m building a nice hot rod, not a rat rod. There’s nothing wrong with that, I have some cars that I want to rat rod, and they will go together much faster, but this one is going to be a slick car using mostly all original parts, what’s available to me in my area, and not a catalog build.
@@phillipshotrodgarage I completely identify with that amd understand. We are creating time capsules that are authentic. Repopped bodies are great but they arent truly authentic time capsules
Exactly right.
Yes Eastwood has spray encapsulator but it also comes with a little one comes with the little one is a pretty good
Thanks! I'll check it out!
I do see how and why but it just seems as though that you are building like its going to Sema and for most of these builds, not possible with the tools that you possess. I will say that with the insurgence of foreign tool companies making stuff that is a knock off of our american tools that are a bit high on pricing but labor is expensive here and we know that these companies go to where they make a hundred plus percent profit on materials and labor. Its unrealistic for it to ever come to any good from our american companies pricing their goods the way that its done. There are a few good companies like LMC that do price appropriately their products plus deliver a good product as said.
I understand what you are saying. I'd love to have better equipment, better tools, but unfortunately as you said, the cost is an issue. It takes many years for someone to acquire all those on a hobbyist level, especially if it's American made stuff. I grew up in a body shop, and my Father still owns the shop where I work. I do collision repair every day, and I can fix anything. We have all the tools and equipment we need to repair wrecks, and to perform auto restorations. But, hardcore metal fabrication tools are something I am working toward owning, and I am trying to improve my skillset. Making some of the repairs I am making is challenging me as a body guy, and strengthening my skills as I go. People don't always realize, but there is a difference between a fabrication and metalworking guy, and a collision, body and paint guy. It's two different skillsets. As where a fabricator would be able to fabricate a panel from scratch, I am more comfortable repairing the original panel. I'm trying to learn the techniques to start from scratch, and build new panels, but I'm really new to it. Where my project will start coming together is in the finishing stage. Unlike many of the hot rod / rat rod builders on RUclips, I actually have the skills to completely finish the car, paint it, and buff it, and finalize every aspect of it. When I get past the fabrication, I'm right at home with it. As far as building it like it's going to SEMA, well, it's a little more simple than that. I am building this car for myself personally. And since I am the finish guy, I have a certain level of expectation of what I want the car to look like when done. The repairs I make now determine the quality of the finish when done. I started with a rough car, really worse than I should have built, but I am proving that just because it's rough doesn't automatically mean it has to be a rat rod. It all depends on your level of commitment. This car is going to be my dream car, one that I've visioned in my head for many years, so I am holding myself to a high standard when it comes to the quality level of the repairs that I make. With that in mind, I am also building it on a very tight budget, so sometimes time spent wins over money spent. I also build it with very little time. 40 hours a week at work beating on other people's cars, two kids at home, church, and responsibilities around the house create tight time constraints. So, unlike the full time RUclipsrs, building this car is taking me a while. Anyway, I hope to add better tools to my collection over time, and make improvements along the way to improve the way I do things on my next build, and I have plenty more to work on after this one LOL. Thanks for you comment, I appreciate you watching.
@@phillipshotrodgarage I not only stand corrected, i have been put well in my place assuming your skill sets and other miscellaneous talents your working on perfecting... humbly I welcome you to this honorable trade. I started in the late fifties with a dad who knew those skills and more so I did have teachers myself. A blacksmith and a tin knocker whom worked at fisher body... handy with leading the roofs on cadillacs so they didn't have a huge wave in the roof or trunks that would not only close but seal so weather remained on the outside. Between the motor pool in the army plus men who were determined to teach me, I came out looking good with skills that really only hold a place in yesterdays vehicles. We just don't build anymore.. we engineer the stuff that keeps modern cars moving at a pace of history. Our engineers have a job making it fit in a defined space and not waste a drop of room on rigs with a expiration date of the final payment. We no longer intend to fix but to replace making our mechanic almost a replacement engineer himself. I don't have much of a education in any skill, its been hands on with a late touch of autocad and computer diagnostics. All available in tech school after work. I got by till retirement and lucky that I did.
@@morgansword I hope nothing I said sounded harsh or as if I was correcting you in any way, my apologies if it did. I am reminded of my uncle when you mentioned the Cadillac roofs and lead. My Dad’s brother did body work when I was a kid, and I learned a lot from him. Unfortunately, the vehicles were a lot more modern by the time I started beating on them and smearing filler. He told me all about how they would lead and file, All those tools just sat in his toolbox unused, as we had moved on to more modern techniques. I find that beating in these older cars is a completely different game, the old metal doesn’t bend as easy when you hit it. The techniques I’m learning are familiar because of doing body work my whole life, but at the same time very different. Throughout my life, most of the cars we have worked on were 50’s to current cars with not a whole lot of 40’s and older. Working with the thicker metals on the Model A is quite the challenge for a guy used to beating on this modern thin stuff. I bought a English wheel that you’ll see in my videos in the background, a shrinker/stretcher set, and a cheap bead roller, but I need other tools to compliment those. I realized going into this that I would be challenged, and I have been. Im kind of stubborn though, and what I don’t know I’m eager to learn. My dad did body work and his brother, and they had a uncle before them that I never knew but they say was real good. Now I’m just a much younger guy following behind them, trying to figure out what they aren’t here to teach me. My dad is still here and has taught me a lot, but even owning a collision shop, he has never gone as deep into building a car as I am with this one. It sounds like you learned a lot from some great people in great times.
@@phillipshotrodgarage I'd say that we both were mighty fortunate to have met or had great people who did or remember this stuff. I have cut into a few older convertibles and the amount of lead just defeated me trying to clean it right and use stuff that I didn't know how to use back then. Of course now that we have youtube, most of us can get some easier ways to learn about glass.. When any of my log trucks got into problems as they do on the landings and other places, we learned how to hide a dent or just tack it back on best we knew with brass or coat hangers... so glad to see the mig come around as it was a game changer for me ... at least old metal as you said was a heavier gauge and we use a stick welder with like sixteenth 6013 or 7018.... many of those versions of mild steel or low hydrogen rod and just tack it in place with some mud to hide a fender that needed changed but poverty and their getting tore up so regular that it didn't make sense to really fix right any way. Good chatting with you
@@morgansword yes sir, thanks for checking out my channel, comment any time.
