    I don't know if you've heard of this but, there is a variation of the Aunt Jemima technique that you have so masterfully detailed here, it's called the "Raccoon deviation" and utilizes the fine strand fiber found in the fecal matter of Raccoons and makes a final bond that is, reportedly, 12.6 times stronger than the parent steel! The only drawback to this alternate technique is that the Raccoon feces must be no more than 3.5 minutes old prior to being mixed. If the fecal matter is exposed to the atmosphere without being blended with the polymers in the donor body filler then it's strength properties are greatly compromised. If possible, it is preferable to have the Raccoon on hand to empty his bowels directly onto the affected work area prior to mixing. At any rate, it is so nice to know that there are men like you who are out there on the bleeding ragged edge of vintage body panel restoration working to broaden and enhance the ever growing pool of knowledge in the burgeoning and quickly changing field of endeavor. Thank you, Sir!!

    *_CWM_* is how I ended up here.
    You and Scott are masters in a dying art.
    I dabble, Dad, a Saskatchewan born machinist, threw a tire wrench in my hands when I was about five, and have learned tonnes from Scott, and although new to viewing your stuff, have already picked up a trick or two.
    I have a mig, and while when I was younger, spent time working with welders, and learned stick, especially air-arc as we were doing sawmill maintenance, but they didn't use mig or tig, so self taught other than what I have picked up on YT, but had wondered about settings on the welder for body tin.
    Thicker metal is no problem because I like heat and I'm afraid of a blowout.
    Sizzling bacon is what I was told.
    I weld a little hot on auto tin and occasionally blowout, but I think that's just practice.

    • @asciimation
      @asciimation 2 года назад +2

      One reason the art is dying is it's getting harder in some countries to hand build cars and get them on the road. I've spent the last 10 years learning how to do aluminium skins, gas welded and hand formed and now I am not sure I can get the car road legal in New Zealand. If I can't enjoy my art, what's the point?

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  2 года назад +6

      Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the kind words! I prefer to weld hotter on auto sheetmetal. I think a lot of people have issues because they are trying to weld too cold, so they hold the trigger for longer trying to get the weld to burn in, I like to turn the heat up so that I can just briefly touch the trigger and do a quick zap. The occasional blow through is going to happen on auto sheetmetal, there are so many inconsistencies in the metal and it's not always possible to get the metal perfectly clean. I was taught to always practice welding on two pieces of scrap metal of the same thickness and material as the car you are about to weld on, we weren't allowed to weld on the car until we had the welder dialed in and were able to achieve perfect welds on the scrap pieces. The welds on the car never turned out as nice as the practice pieces, but at least we knew we had the welder set up beforehand. It sounds ridiculous, but I've seen guys who have been in the collision industry 30+ years struggle for hours trying to weld up a tiny tear in metal, eventually the fibreglass comes out or they convince the insurance company to replace the part.

I saw this old Italian guy who did a repair and he literally used a two by two to help repair a C pillar with a ton of body filler I was freaking flabbergasted in disbelief as we sat back in awe watching this dude. And the crazy thing about it, was than no one said a word to him at the time as we all sat there watching this unfold. I think we didn't say a thing cause we were just all in shock as this was unfolding before our eyes. NUT's eh!!

    Love your videos and learn a lot. I want to pass on a good tip i picked up from a Ron Covell video. Try using ER70s-2 spool wire instead of ER70s-6. It has the consistency of the tig rod and may be hard to find locally but is plentiful on the internet. Even had the local welding supply tried to tell me there's no such thing, "That's a tig rod number". You can beat on this weld a lot more and not crack it. Kinda like the advantages of tig in a spool wire.

    Buddy, I've been watching CWM for about 3 years now and when Scott says something is worth doing, I have noticed that he is almost always correct. He said to check you out and in one video, I picked up on a few things I didn't know and also a few other tricks to try out myself as alternatives. Also, you had me laughing myself silly in a few places - your sense of humour is very much like Scott's in that you sometimes wonder if he is being serious. That dead-pan delivery style and the dry wit is much appreciated. If I had known of your channel sooner, I would have already been here, so the fact I am here now just means that things are how they are supposed to be....and no, I haven't received your cheque in the mail as yet. I did receive the envelope though......
    Another great video. Certainly appreciate the tips in this one too. Interesting to hear you prefer TIG on splits. I have yet to go back through your previous videos to check, but am wanting to know if you have done one of repairing the lower quarter of a rusted / previously repaired door skin.....and / or if you did, which welder would you use and why?

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for the kind words! As for the door skin, it really depends on the car and whether or not I have access to the backside. If I don't have access and/or it's just a small patch in the corner I usually just mig it. I did a video a while back on replacing a chevy van door bottom with a tig.

    I'm a ColdWarMotor's crossover. I'd like to see now, not only how you repair stuff but what your immediate project plans are? Scott over at CWM has always some car or two he's working on. (He also likes to save strays from the crusher and challenge his buddies to build offs) I was thrilled when he took on the 1960 Fury project because he's gone so far with it (he originally said he was only going to tidy it up... Yeah Right) It's almost a show car now. Scott has a few other cars he's lining up to finish ie; His sister's Austin and his Citroën SM. There's one car he's building which his friend TOM dared him to complete. It's the $5.00 dollar track speedster. It'"s called that because he bet Ol' Tom he could build it for less than$5.00 dollars because he would only use material and scraps found already in his possession (somewhere in his yard). Perhaps you could challenge Scott and build one of those early 1930's to late 1940's track speedster too? I don't know how far away you live from Scott in Alberta, Canada but it would be fun for you to build one and spark a friendly competition. Check out his Channel for when he started building it to see what I'm referring to. Good Luck & Bon Courage !

    Finally someone who is drilling a hole at the end of a crack! I do that with metal and repairing fiberglass or plastic bumpers as well. The joke with bondo repairs was funny once, but we have seen it now. I was surprised though how easy the bondo fell off with the first hit.

      It was mostly just to entertain myself, but I won't be doing that type of thing in every video. I spent more time on the bad repair then I did on the rest of it. It was also meant to be slightly educational...we live in a world with unlimited access to information, unfortunately much of that information is misleading. RUclips is filled with "how to" bodywork videos involved horrible misuse of bondo, fibreglass etc...yet people accept them as fact because the information is presented in a convincing manner. An important and often overlooked part of education is showing people the wrong way to do something and then illustrating why it's the wrong way.

      I totally agree, I was taught to drill a small hole at the end of a crack when repairing metal while in the military. I always felt it relived the stress on the crack.

      @@CarterAutoRestyling To be honest, I am a lousy body man. But seeing the crap on youtube: Bondo on rust, bondo by pounds, kitty hair on cracks without any overlap and much more.
      That does shock me! They are doing it on expensive cars as well. Those people are earning a lot for showing this crap. And if you suggest something: like not only filling a crack with kitty hair and grinding it down to the point were only the crack itself has bondo on it, or you suggest drilling a hole on a plastic bumper at the end of the crack, you are completly ignored or even regarded as a moron. Most guys believe these hackjobs are good repairs. It is mindblowing.
      I did repair cracked plastic bumpers on my daily beaters by reinforcing the inside with metal plates and repairing it cosmetically apealing. And in general those repairs last for years. But those are cars I will drive on for a while before I send them to be scrapped.

    Like you, I often need a period of intense inspiration before facing the general public in a store...... A task to be avoided if at all possible. Unfortunately, the brand of syrup used in this video is no longer available. So sad that it's come to that. The younger generation will never develop a taste for bodywork. The saying "it will stick to your ribs" was definitely of some value - I knew right away when the syrup came out that the repair wood be successful!

      Ahh good suggestion, I regret cheaping out on the syrup! Haha
      I have tried welding from the inside before, it's a good idea in theory. The problem is that as the molten weld passes through old metal, it picks up all the impurities and contamination from the steel and doesn't finish out as nice.
