Respect from Ireland. Can you imagine how quickly and easily he could have do the job with a MIG welder and sheet metal fab machinery. Still proves that he has more skill with basic tools that most fabricators I know. He is a legend.
I know several professional body shops who would tack on the oversill then spray Schutz to hide their work. Good for you, and with stick welding on body panels. Respect from an old man.
To me it does not look easy. But it is presented clearly and systematically and so provided the job is approached with the correct preparation and tools and working environment it could be done by someone with affinity for mechanical / construction / DIY. But I have done many jobs just like this and it is indeed a LOT of work. What is always frightening is how much worse the (rust) damage usually is behind the visible section!
Уровень работ проделан коллосальный! Автор не упукает ни одной детали! Приятно посмотреть. Единственное, есть смысл инвестировать в нормальный сварочный аппарат, полуавтомат хотябы. Всегда думал, что электродная сварка для таких работ не подходит.
I did a lot of repairs on my old cars years ago using a 90 amp stick welder running 1.6 & sometimes 2 mm rods. It can be done at low amps if you tack & don’t try to get “runs” having said that I progressed to a mig later- much easier. Getting the right shape on the patch panels was the key as was good access.
If you can afford to, get a gas mig. Flux core leaves acidic residue from the flux on the backs of welds where you cant get to them to clean them etc and makes them rust out faster, as well as being very messy and splatter going everywhere. I nearly did my repairs (check my yt) with flux but I'm so glad I didnt.
You nailed it. The electrode could be a 1,6mm, but it works also 2mm with a bit less amps. If you're planning more of those repairs, I suggest you invest in a mig gas shielded machine, not a big one, as you usually use 0.6 to 0.8mm wire. It gives you the cleanest weld possible and you can control it precisely. Other than that, who never did some DIY crafting!? =) Cheers.
Thanks for your advice! Of course, I want to buy a mig gas shielded machine, because my mma machine is not designed for such work) It was quite difficult to do this restoration))
@@lebecky_restoration No problem, you're welcome. I checked a bit and you can get a decent 150 amps mig for 250E, which is a combination of MMA/Mig, and a brand new one. Also a used is a good compromise. Anyway don't aim for the absolute cheapest machines, as those usually lack real power. I had an opportunity to test out a small, cheap 180 amps MMA machine (some "pocket" version) which was 130 or 140E, I don't remember exactly, although it was claimed 180 amps it was struggling with a 2,5mm electrode. I have a pro 200/160 ac/dc tig/MMA and it goes ok with a 4mm electrode. It also depends on the electrode. For ease of use and start it's better to use some rutile electrodes, otherwise for stronger, better quality and cleaner joints it's better basic, but also depends. If you start with a hobby rutile you're golden! =) Cheers.
many respect for it very nice job ,you are e very good welder ,i am in car repair for 30 years its not easy to do tis and also thzan on e french car very good job !!!!!
Да четко ты все сделал,подвалил,покрасил,продал!!! Благодаря твоим видео люди сами учатся ковырять свои машины! Спаниеле большое за ту информацию которую ты даёшь,а хейтеры и умники идут на…..
Ich bin begeistert, dass es noch solche Künstler gibt die das können....dazu gehören viele Detailkenntnisse auch zur Statik eines Fahrzeugs. Die meisten "Vertragswerkstätten" beherrschen so etwas überhaupt nicht mehr oder es ist eben bei den aktuellen Stundensätzen nicht bezahlbar. Leider gibt es für viele Fabrikate kaum Reparaturbleche und alles muss angefertigt werden. Hätte ich diesen Handwerker zur Verfügung, könnte ich meine beiden alten Lancia Y10 retten....😢
Nice video. Back in the day people used to weld their cars with MMA all the time. Of course MIG welding took over as it is much easier. But it is possible to weld panels as you have here. For structural strength you really need a continuous seam which is very difficult to do without blowing holes. The smallest electrodes and a lot of patience will help! Ultimately for thin body panels it just makes a lot more sense to use a MIG welder. But MMA is a great skill to have and for heavier gauge parts like chassis cross members it will work fine. I haven't done any welding in a few years, but I really must brush up on my skills. It's great therapy working on a car if you have the time!
@@dont-want-no-wrench If If you haven't that skill, Plug welding may be the route to go down, as for an AC plant if you can push out the boat a plant with a Rectifier gives a more stable arc but it all depends on your funds...

What is the paint/sealant you used between the metal panels? Also, are those specific body patch type panels or just metal pieces that fit the gaps after shaping. I am looking to do some rust work on my Charger and I only have stick weld access. 0 experience..
Man, you are not fixing a car! You are crafting an art piece. I bet the rigidity and strength of the unibody dont meet but exceet the factory specs. Bravo!
I live in Thailand and everything is stickwelded here. Can't use protective gas outside or where it's any wind. I've seen people stickwelded 0.5 mm sheet metal. With extreme caution of course.
My oh my was I confused with all of those little metal parts he welded back, thought where is this all going to end, but it all came out nice. Good job.
Hello and Greetings from the U.K. Lebecky I really admire the level of skill you have for this repair.Please can you tell me what size welding rods you used on the Panel ?Were they 1.6mm or 2.0mm ? It would be helpful for me to know.Thankyou and Best Wishes
H ello Mark! Thank you for your feedback. I am very pleased) Really, I am not a professional welder. I don't have much experience. Before this, I only welded metal fencing for the house (3 days)))) In this video I used 2.0 mm welding rods, but I think that 1.6 mm would be better (I could not buy 1.6 mm) My advice is to use thicker metal standard. The standard panel was 1.1 mm. Those parts that had to be made again, I used 1.5-1.7 mm. The outer panel was less than 1 mm. Such metal is very difficult to weld. But I did it too and I think it’s good enough) This video was filmed at the end of 2021. More than 6 months have passed. Everything is fine! p.s. If I have made mistakes, please forgive me. Good luck, Mark!

That is pro work!!! Oh, I've done a little of this with a small cheap stick welder and the real small rods that were once available at wall mart,..I thing 6032 or some such. Did the whole plug welding thing alot of places, turned down at much as I could. Was only inserting....was blessed later on to have a mig welder,...but I read somewhere a stick wellder could be turned into a scratch arc tig welder,...maybe that would be good for certain problems.
Man, You are crazy with this kind of repair. I hope its Your own car, this is too much work, by the way very nice metalwork. Greetings from Slovakia ;)
Sorry if it's already been answered, but what type and gauge of rods were used? I have some metalwork that I have to complete prior to having the new windshield installed on the 1967 Dodge d200 Sweptline pickup I'm redoing. The sheet metal is obviously of a heavier gauge than a modern vehicle, and I already have an old Lincoln ac225 tombstone, so if I were able to go this route, it'd save time and money.
Hi Nick! In this video I used 2.0 mm electrodes, but I think that 1.6 mm would be better (I could not buy 1.6 mm) I did from 40 to 60 A. Where I used thick metal (1.5 -1.7 mm), I set about 55A. Where I used thin metal (the outer panel is less than 1.0 mm.) I reduced it to 40A. But this device, has an easy start and at the beginning of work, it increases the current strength automatically. That is, even if you set 40 A, then in the first second, the device can increase even above 80A!( There's nothing you can do about it. This is a device with an easy start and such, probably 95%. I worked just like that. If you manage to find a device without an easy start, then I hope that it will be possible to install 40A for example and it will be 40A. And weld very fast! p.s. Really, I am not a professional welder. I don't have much experience. Before this, I only welded metal fence for the house (3 days)))) Good luck😉

Exactly what I was thinking!
Just remember that before mig and tig they only had stick or oxy acetylene to repair cars back in the day .
I'd love to know the amp setting and stick diameter & number.
@@dougbaker9473 True. Back in the day stick welding wasn't that big of an issue as the sheetmetal was two times as thick as it is today.
@@savage22bolt32that looks like 6013 1.6mm from 20 to 50 amps (I would use around 30 there for this type of metal)

Where I used thin metal (the outer panel is less than 1.0 mm.) I reduced it to 40A. But this device, has an easy start and at the beginning of work, it increases the current strength automatically. That is, even if you set 40 A, then in the first second, the device can increase even above 80A!( There's nothing you can do about it. This is a device with an easy start and such, probably 95%. I worked just like that. If you manage to find a device without an easy start, then I hope that it will be possible to install 40A for example and it will be 40A. And weld very fast! p.s. Really, I am not a professional welder. I don't have much experience. Before this, I only welded metal fence for the house (3 days)))) Good luck😉
Muy buen trabajo hermano te felicito un gran abrazo desde santa fe Argentina..
Thank you my friend🙏😉
I imagine my Spitfire’s sills look something like this behind the paint but I’ve not yet been brave ennough to face the pain - good effort 👏
Must be a labour of love, I thought I was bad. Taking out my wheel liners and descabbing my w203 rear arches. This is next level
nice work!
👍😉
Brilliant job
Un excelente trabajo de chapa y un desafortunado trabajo de pintura.
¡Gracias! Si, si... Así es😀😉👍
