Very Impressive straightening. Very impressive "Original Impala" restoration project. She ought to turn out real nice. Nothing beat assembly line installed original parts 👍
Really enjoying your videos. Like I said previously, you do a great job of systematically explaining just about every move you make. I do have a question. On the one hand, one of my autobody textbooks said to undo the damage in the reverse order that it occured. On the other hand, my teacher years ago said that the first thing to do is to re-establish the peaklines, ridges, and flanges on the panels because they are what controls the panel. What order do you work in when you are fixing dents? When fixing major collision damage? My guess is that for a small/medium dent my teacher was right, and that for collision damage the book was right...
If damage is reversed, that brings the lines back with it, or a better way to say is reversing the damage first, allows the lines to be worked and brought back into shape.... any other way will overwork and stretch the metal. Thanks for watching.
@@guzzifabrication3448 Thanks for clearing that up. I know that it's probably easy/cheap to get a replacement rear deck lid out there for a 64 Impala, but would you consider straightening the damaged original one in this video? I'd love to see that if you end up going that way.
When you say take you time on the trim. How long is take you time. 10 min, 20 min, or 2 hours? I know each piece is different just looking for an idea. I have thought a clock in the corner of the screen shot would be nice. First time I have seen this channel. Looks pretty good.
Possibly, what issues are you having? This is a personal opinion..... if you are using stainless steel brake lines, don't..... stick with the factory steel. I'll be separating the body from the frame, we can get a good look at the factory routing of the brake lines if that will help.
Body men called those a dozer type frame machine they tie off directly to the frame the other type of frame machines are usually drive on or pulling post that one came from autobodytoolmart you can check those out there thanks for watching
Not a silly question..... just a question, I'm tied off on front of the frame machine with a chain to the frame pulling against it. Thanks for watching !

@@mikebeyersdorf5270 We have a replacement deck on the way, it just makes sense.
@@guzzifabrication3448 Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

As long as it takes to remove without damage.... Thanks for watching
What a great looking starting point. Should be a fun build. Going back all original?
The body will be bone stock for certain.... everything else the customer hasn't fully decided. Thanks for watching !
Thanks for the video gives me confidence to work on my 64 are you planning to make a video on putting the breaks lines I’m having trouble with mine

@@guzzifabrication3448 oh man it is stainless steel but it’s cause I don’t know where what goes and it’s throwing me off
@@lowriderpride1702 Once the body is off, I'll film along the brake line path for you, no worries
@@guzzifabrication3448 awesome I appreciate the help
What type of frame machine is that? great video.
That machine is from auto body tool mart. Thanks for watching !
Nice work ! really enjoyed those pulls. What the name of the tool you used for that.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Body men called those a dozer type frame machine they tie off directly to the frame the other type of frame machines are usually drive on or pulling post that one came from autobodytoolmart you can check those out there thanks for watching
i bought a 1970 cutlass all torn apart like that ......took me 5 years to get it back on the road
But you hung in there and finished it ! nice job
Ok I apologize for the silly question. When you are pulling with the frame machine, what are you pushing against?
Great video!
Not a silly question..... just a question, I'm tied off on front of the frame machine with a chain to the frame pulling against it. Thanks for watching !
What media will be used for blasting? Since you've mentioned the blasting won't remove the seam sealer ? Not sand ? 👍
😀
