Repairing The Rocker Panel On The Datsun 280z Project
HTML-код

- The rocker panels on the Datsun 280z are rusty and rotten. In this video we'll replace the passenger side outer rocker panel (dog leg). Once it is cut open we find a lot more rust issues than we anticipated!

You get some rust and you get some rust!
I didn’t realize there were so many levels in the metal. Nice work on separating and replacing.
Your commitment is second to none on this.
If I want a fun car to drive again after selling my c6 z06 I kinda need to finish this 😆
Good planning and follow thru on the custom patches for the inner framing. I always overthink and try to hardest method which is outside my skills. Really enjoying the project.❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love that you take this as an experience to learn and you show us your mistakes so we learn too! love the series, cant wait for a new episode
Thanks so much! I try to be as honest at I can.
Patch work is top notch. Looks good. Thanks for another good one!
Glad you like it!
Really like the channel. Happy to see the subscribers slowly growing
Glad you enjoy it!
It's very educational, your videos will help me a bunch in my upcoming project. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it!
REALLY NICE AND SIMPLE EXPLAINED
Glad you liked it!
I watch every episode and me and my son can't wait to see it done
Love it!
Your the man...
Thanks!
I would suggest either using cavity wax or some kind of spray in rust inhibitor in the inner areas that you do rust repair on.
I do have a plan for interior coating but I'm always up for advice.
@@BLOKgarage you can never go wrong with the Eastwood products
😉
Loved the grinding and hammering on this one, could almost dance to it, haha. Your patience is mind blowing, I would be so discouraged if I opened it up and found more rust. Well done.
Hey dude. Good shtuff! I’m at the exact same point in my 240Z build and watching you and others methods really help out. Thanks man keep pushing out out good content
Love to hear of other S30s being restored/modded. What are you doing to yours?
@@BLOKgarage just replaced the drivers side rocker but it’s a bit off. Trying to figure where I’m off. Passenger side I’m right where you are at in your video. I don’t think I have to replace the entire rocker, just the parts you’re working on.
Gonna LS swap it once it’s ready. Gonna attempt a full carbon fiber body. We’ll see how that goes
@@JasonHolt-d4e sounds awesome
Right on brother! Looking good
Thanks 👍
Sorry you hurt your finger at end but good for a blooper reel. 😅 Good progress.
Feeding the algorithm troll!!
Had the same problem with the kf dogleg stitting to high
Can't expect them to be perfect I suppose!
I can easily see a few tools you need to buy. First, buy a cheap Harbor Freight Metal brake. It makes bending metal so much easier and you don't need a three foot brake. A small 18" or such will easily do the jobs you're working on. Second tool is an stretcher and shrinker tool set. Sure comes in handy to bend curves and such. Again, you don't need expensive shrinker/stretcher tools. In fact I made mine after seeing how they are made and used... I can tell you have the know how...
What model of Lincoln Mig welder are you using? Great work by the way!
I almost bought the small Harbor Freight brake when I was there last! Doing it like this works but I'm sure I'll pick that up at some point.
And actually I do have a shrinker/stretcher. I used it for the first time a couple videos ago and it makes an appearance in the next video when that is done. It's very helpful.
Appreciate the advice!
@GK-sh7ck thanks! It's a Millermatic 211
Make a small metal brake . I made one for my 65 mustang project. Found a RUclipsr showing how to build one . I might have it saved,send you the link if you need it. Your accent sounds like Maine or NH.
If you have a link that would be great! And yes I'm from Maine.
@@BLOKgarage hi couldn't get the link to work but the RUclipsr name is iron man restoration. Diy sheet metal bender . I made some small changes to mine but it does the job up to 18 ga . I am from RI I have friends and family in Maine.
