Never turn your back when a toddler is around tools. My youngest watched me doing panel repairs for days till he worked it out..... unfortunately he waited till the body had a gleaming coat of paint before he picked up the hammer....!
Thats how i fit and weld most all panels. It's time consuming but when you cut it that way and hammer and dolly it it makes for a super tight fit. Great job!
Lookin good ... gotta love that pulmax ... you should be switching those flouresent lights to retrofit leds ... save some energy costs and improve the work area ...
THe cutting you describe creates a mitered edge so the insert panel will fit tighter into the opening. The top of the cut is slightly larger than the bottom. It is like a wedge, so is a closer fit. A fine blade makes all the difference
Nice work on the insert and gutters! I picked up a couple of Wheeltronics body shop lifts that are going to help a lot with setting work height of parts and bodies. I might weld casters on one of them to facilitate spinning/moving… Later!
Hi Travis, Lovely work on the Tudor body, my favourite A body style, any chance you could do updates on some of your previous customers work, your doing excellent work and I am enjoying the daily videos here in the UK
I give you a lot of credit Traves tig welding a panel that large is a lot of work. I tried to tig weld the other day and it didn't go well. I don't have the eye sight to do that type of work anymore. I have been reduced to mig welding sheet metal. I have been toying with using dye pent to identify pin holes in my Mig welds.
I did the ole cut and butt half the day today straight up and down for mig welding worked real good for me. same saw for me i love that lil air saw im using hacksaw blades in mine not sure what your using and im liking them drip rails
looks like we have another fabricator in the making great to see the family in the garage and the top is coming along thank you for the videos
