Really enjoyed watching this. You give a nice run down on what you're doing. I've got a '71 C-10. Love the body shape on the 60's but I needed a daily driver and couldn't find one ready enough. Looking forward to follow along with the build.
Awesome video! Subscribed instantly as I will be needing to do the same with my 67 c10 and I can use all the knowledge I can get. Not the most knowledgeable with this but I am always willing to learn. So far I’ve been asking my uncles for help and I would try to find stuff on RUclips but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted. I ran into your videos and they are everything I was looking for. Going to enjoy this process and watch you with your truck. Plus the comments seem helpful as well. Great job !
Saw you on S/V Seeker and looked up your fabrication channel. I binge watched that for the last 2 hours. Love the work you do! Then at the end of one of your videos, I saw you had anther channel dedicated to your shop truck! HUGE fan of both channels now. Subbed!
I didn’t realize this was a second channel, just subscribed ;) I’ve got a driver’s door panel just like your passenger side. Waiting to see how you fix it. Cheers
nice job man, I am no expert but I've done a few repairs like this I find if you cut the repair panel on the original panel then your cut lines will always match up without having to grind, also leave a 1mm gap that give the meatl somewhere to shrink into that way you can with a bit of practise weld up soft pad off and no filler, good job though, nice to see how your getting on , keep those vids coming
Thanks Mark! I've seen that done. and it seems to make sense, but I'm always close to "key-holing" when I weld.(i.e. burning through) I'm using .025, but I'm scared that with much of a gap between panels, It would be even easier to burn through. Any thoughts?
you'll be fine Zack as your only spot tacking, so tack all the corners first, then back to the start, then tack half way between those tacks then half way between those etc etc then when you grind back grind in one movement along your tacks, that way you keep the heat down. good luck my friend
This is going to be a great series Zack! I was already enjoying your other channel but this is something else!! Thanks for adding all your thought process! What size wire are you using? I'm in the welding trade myself but we use .45 ,1/16, even 5/64 sometimes. Your wire is probably quite a bit smaller I would guess..
When you have a full can of primer use your paint stick as a pump! Hold your fill cup tilted just over the edge of the can then dip and scrape on the lip of your cup up and down till you get the amount you need .No spill mess or having dried mess in the lip and the can doesn't seal .
I'm a metal shaper ,Just a tip get a hard wood block and drill a 1 inch hole in it and take a ball peen hammer and shape your bump over the hole till you get it close and then cut the outside dimensions and weld it in.
You should get yourself a shrinker ,stretcher ,English wheel and cheap bead roller from Harbor freight or Princess Auto here in Canada,Youll have fun man .Im building a CF 100 wing tip fuel tank into a awd Subaru Lakester and building parts out of aluminum. Im having lots of fun inventing and creating.
Just found you. Looks good. I know some primers a porous where it'll start rusting through. Is the 2-part epoxy moisture proof and safe to leave uncoated for awhile?
Thanks... A lot of searching, it's a bit tricky as the selection and quality of non CC music is a bit scare. I browse freemusicarchive.com quite often.
Hey man, great video. I had a quick question though, what was the first song you played in the video? I checked your track listing and none of the songs seem to be that one. Keep the videos coming!
You are doing it exactly the way I want to do it with my truck-take the panels off one piece at a time. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks again, yeah, it's pretty much the only way I can fit it into my schedule.
Nice work....gotta give you credit for taking this on!
Thanks Patrick!
I had a '60...'62...'63.... and a '64..... truly envy you sir... cant wait to see what you do with her...
Thanks man! Did you build it "One Piece at a time" :)

I started replacing the passenger side rocker panels today. It's a lot of work! I should have the video out in a week or so.
Zack, thanks for starting this channel. I heard about it on the podcast and if this is anything like your fabrication channel, it should be great.
Thanks man! Yeah it probably won't get updated as frequently, but I'm pretty excited about it!
Yesssss!!! My first car was a 64 stepside c10. One day, I plan on doing exactly what you're doing - one piece at a time. Awesome stuff!
Thanks Michael! Keep your eyes peeled every now and then you can get one for a reasonable choice.
Sweet. Love old trucks. Can't wait to see the finished product.
:)
A man of many talents!
Thanks Tom!

Hey Zak...just got off the phone with Rooster, he informed me of your utube channel had no idea. Super cool bro. Miss ya man..God bless Scott
:)
I can not believe you didn't just buy a new one, well done on you for preserving the original metal.
Some of us try to save the original stuff as much as possible
Amazing work man!
Thanks!
Nice truck all metal ,had a 65 when I was young. Keep up the good work ,and denatured alcohol is just fine.
wow! what an improvement. nice work
Thank you!
I didn’t realize this was a second channel, just subscribed ;) I’ve got a driver’s door panel just like your passenger side. Waiting to see how you fix it. Cheers

I sure do love those 61's. I can't wait to get one of my own.

Super sweet man! what panel is next?
Thanks James.... I'm thinking it's going to be the Passenger side rocker panel, which is going to be tricky.
NICE TRUCK!!

Hey, thanks Tomy!
Yup, I swap out the .030 for .025 it makes a world of difference!
Thank you. This video in inspirational. I have a 1964 c20 which I want to restore myself.

Thanks!
great workmanship! what kind of metalprep was it that you sprayed on the panel prior to the patch?
Thanks Jonah! Oooh, I can't remember--and I'm way too lazy to walk out to the garage right now. I will check tomorrow and let you know.
Sweet
Thanks Larry!

Cool truck looking for 1 my safe 2 same year 👍
Pekerjaan yang sangat baik
I really like your music choice how did you find those songs?
Thanks... A lot of searching, it's a bit tricky as the selection and quality of non CC music is a bit scare. I browse freemusicarchive.com quite often.
I think you're doing ok on how youre rebuilding the patch pieces , it's like how i made and copie my sheet metal for my 57 belair
What disk are you using on your grinder to remove paint but not metal?
How do you know so much about bodywork ?? I want to learn
Hey man, great video. I had a quick question though, what was the first song you played in the video? I checked your track listing and none of the songs seem to be that one.
Keep the videos coming!
Thanks!
And good catch, I grabbed the wrong tab--It's updated now.
Wash & wipe from Napa
Instead of denatured alcohol use Prep solvent.
Como se llama el líquido que le rociaste al óxido.?
What's the music ?
Try this, it doesn't cost so much and it's a professional degreaser.
