This is the best repair patch panel video that I have found and I've been looking for quite a while. You have a new subscriber. Nice work.
Testing times Hey Thanks 🤩. Your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Great work again Trev, could watch these videos all night. Been welding all day and the rest of this week. Great tips again.
Peter Goodwin Hey Thanks Peter 🤩. Your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Thanks man a big help looking forward to more tips
Dam i was born in 86 cool van fun looking project. Welders penetrate deeper
Love your videos dude , new subscriber
Trev, love watching your videos and really appreciate you taking the time to show us your tips. All the best, Sean
Sean C Hey Thanks 🤩, your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Excellent mod and really helpful for me just starting out rebuilding my Triumph Stag. I was interested that as a true pro you don’t use an auto-darkening helmet, just wondered why as to an amateur like me it seems an obvious thing to do?
Nigel Barton can’t use one Nigel... old habits. I only use an auto for TIG. Cheers Trev 👍
Good info, Trev, Thanks. I'm new to welding, so found this very informative. Do you have any opinions on using panel lock clamps to maintaining a gap between panels?
Nice video
thanks !!
Hi Trev, where is your business based, I need some welding done to my classic Benz but would also love to learn how to do it.
I don’t repair cars anymore sorry. Cheers Trev 👍
what gauge wire are you running?
hey trev got any tips for painting/sealing the underside weld if it's in say a cavity with poor access? I've seen the cavity wax is commonly used but never tried it
Gabe Gabenson ruclips.net/video/2ElO4gyV6aY/видео.html 👍
@@trevsblog ooh nice thanks mate!
Great video! What size welding wire do you prefer?
Auto Sculptor I use 0.8 for a variety of reasons, video on this subject coming up next. Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog Great! In the States it's always a debate of .023 or .030 for vintage car metal. .8 mm would be close to .030 inch. Your welds always look very clean. Thanks, looking forward to it.

Why not make the corner yourself
The original front panel was extremely rusty, the lip that attached to the wings was 90% missing plus other problem areas. A new front panel and wings were bought for £80 which was in far better condition. Cheers Trev 👍
Thanks Trev for taking the time to explain things. It really helps us new to welding. I have body panels to weld and your tips will certainly help me from making some mistakes.
This video made the biggest improvements to my patching, and I’m still referring to it and trying to improve each time. Thanks Trev! Never mind the ridiculous thumbs down, I bet it was from the old panel :)
simon ayton definitely don’t mind the thumbs down,it’s all part of it. Cheers Trev 👍
Really interesting video full of tips and explanations. A real good tutorial. Keep us the good work Trev👍
Absolutely one of my favorite videos of yours. Great information here. I am happy you explained the use of the damp cloth, moving around, skip welds, and the "panel" pliers that several places sell. What I hoped you would have explained in the beginning is how you set up the welder to weld on the thin gauge steel.. welder settings, and gauge of wire used.
Spot on explanation of everything. All of your tips exemplify the quality I looking for in my restoration. Cheers Trev!
Chax24 I have thought since about making another video showing the welder setup and also another technique I use for reducing distortion by using a heat sink using wiper cloth soaked in water. Lots more stuff coming soon. Cheers Trev 👍
Trev's Blog you could also show what size wire you are using and your gas mixture
Wow thanks Trev that was so informative... I'm learning so much, I haven't started welding my car yet, yet I feel like I can weld lol, great work thanks for sharing your skill
Thanks heaps for the tips
I just need to get a MIG and start learning to weld our old Aussie Morris Major floor up
Nice im working on a 1970 Dodge W200, When I lived on Ascension Island in the 80s I had a Bedford van for a bit ended up trading it for a mini pickup that needed tons of welding haha. Nice upload!
Thanks for making these! Your content is awesome and so educational. The guys who do the v weld end up adding so much filler to cover the v. Your results are obviously so much better. You could grind down the back and nobody would even know you had patched the panel. Impressive results.
You are amazing on tips.
I'm a new subscriber, recently discovered your channel. Thanks so much for the videos I'm finding them very inspirational. I'm just getting into repairing a rusty truck and I'm learning a lot in the process and from you.Thanks!
Been looking for a video like this for ages, should have known better and came straight to your channel! Wanted to see how you butt weld two panels together and make it look like it was never done. I've seen people use a step tool which almost creates a lap weld, which I thought about. But seeing you do it this way and the results I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you!
Really awesome Trev! I learned a lot watching you work :)
Steve Canny Thanks again Steve. Cheers Trev👍
Flipping heck you’re a good teacher! I’m the same age as the van and I’m just starting learning welding, mainly for artisan reasons as I'm not well enough to do big jobs, and I’ve learnt more from you than most people of the other videos put together. Thank you for posting this.
May I ask why you use a mask rather than the usual flashy helmets?
~ Thanks Trevor, your video has really been a huge help to me!! Question; instead of using the rag, can I simply blow air from a compressor onto it so as to cool it off? Thanks Mate and I look forward to watching Pt. 2. 😎👍🏻🇨🇦
PS - Could you do a video on different welders and how to set it up. Thx again.
you're the first person i've seen ever use a body saw to cut the metal. i don't like the big gap left by an angle grinder. i just did a patch on my old truck and i rushed the spots and warped it bad. i have to learn patients which is not my virtue. i weld so seldom i have a time getting the settings right on the welder. that all said thanks for the video. i really enjoyed and i learned something and that's always good.
I'm just starting out welding stick... from the penatration on the back side it looks like a series of tacks in a tight row. Is that how you mig body work, or do you run a solid bead? Thanks for the video.
This was awesome! I’m just starting with my own mig welder and have very similar work to do. These tips from a pro like you are very helpful, it’s good to understand the properties of the metal and how it reacts to the weld and the heat.
Thank you from Australia!
I was into collision work and bodywork for years and then got sick of body work and become a welder fitter cause mostly cause I got sick of dealing with rust buckets. lol But I now miss both of those trades due to a back injury. Been bed ridden now for two years and haven't been able to work for twenty years. My point is when I did do body work I used air to cool the metal down between welds have you tried that?
Hey mate even though I'm from the USA love your show and learn from your show so thanks again bro love ya.
excellent video, wish i had had this instructional video a few years ago, i have a 1962 ford mk1 consul cortina that needs restoration, not sure if i have the ability to do it now after 3 heart attacks so i will have to wait for a lottery win to get it done, i did enjoy your video though. PS my dad had a bedford van similar to that good memories
Hi Trev, have you any tips of avoiding pin holes after sanding down mig welds? Both panels are butt welded and are level. Cheers
Loving the vids, real proper useful info. Thanks Trev 👍🏻
You are one of the few who go into great detail in their description of what is going on. I really appreciate that. Can't wait for part two.
When you position and tack weld - could you perhaps snip off little lengths of welding wire and put them in the gap to stop the panels coming together?
Great video mate! Really really really good!
Your hair is excellent. Your hairline is so good
Another great video Trev...Thanks a lot 👍
Awesome stuff. Just wish I had seen it prior to restoring my Saab. Oh well, better luck on the Fiat. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and the great explanations.
Excellent and informative video, great hair too by the way.
This is certainly one of the best panel patch repair videos I've seen on youtube. I'll be following your channel closely to learn your tricks.
praetorious Hey Thanks 🤩. Your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Great video I learned a lot. I was wondering if you could show how to duplicate spot welds I haven't been able to make them look factory.
Hi Trev , love the videos . Nice job my friend very helpful.
The very bit that I wanted to watch of how you weld the entire seam you missed out
Brilliant skills, can't wait to start my 1940 Chevy 1/2 ton, plan to study your work, thanks
Hello
Can you show how to cut a panel and fit a replacement panel properly?
Trev thank you for posting. Very good info and I will definitely continue to watch all of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Cheers mate👍
Thank you ! I'm teaching myself MIG welding for a car project, this is really usefull and clearly explained.
I am just starting to restore my Peugeot 604 and will need to learn to Mig weld. Your videos are the most helpful that I found so far. Thanks Trev.
get out :D I've got a 504 (in a couple of my videos) :)
Woo! Thanks Trev on making this a playlist. i'm still only half way through them all.
i was just going to share it and was grateful i don't need to explain how to find them.
Interesting to know about the pollution of the paint.
Trev. Im just starting my own project. You are really informative and real! Love the vids. Please keep them up.
Trev, what is your opinion of using brass oxyacetylene brazing or even lead solder to fill those annoying pinholes that so often occur when MIG or TIG butt welding steel sheet metal? I lean towards lead just because it requires less heat, hence less panel distortion.
Sounds fair enough 👍 depending on access and the job to hand sealing the joint both sides with epoxy mastic works wonders 👍
SOME GUY THEE TREV, take care , cheers Mick
1. Do you weld up mot failures?
2.Did making youtube videos help your business?
I worked as a panel beater for 30 years. I initially made RUclips videos to help those people that were asking me for help. I no longer work as a panel beater but if I did I’d have plenty of work 👍
Love ya bro straight up.
Cant wait for part 2. Your the MAN
Great stuff Trevor. Thank you for the explanations and demonstrations.
Hi Trev, a good video in welding tech, could you cover the set-up of the welder before you start? Cheers Bob
Yes I did a video here it is 👍ruclips.net/video/kLFpcZruetI/видео.html
Hi Trev do you have a Instagram?
Good stuff!
Let’s put a little shrimp on the Barbee
HA - I need a workshop again ASAP. Some good practical tips. Thanks.
Thanks for these videos and playlist, I'll be watching them all now :)
Also great sound track at the end of the video, I visited the Messer Chups website you pointed in the description link, but don't know what track is it?
It appears your "auto-shaper" website is off?
Check out track 3 on this RUclips link ruclips.net/video/cmVx6tE7ijQ/видео.html I didn’t continue with the renewal of the autoshaper website, the only contact I ever get is through RUclips. Thanks Trev 👍
@@trevsbloggot it, it's 'Chupacabra Twist', from the album "Surf riders from the swamp Lagoon", by Messer Chups 👍🏻 keep it rocking! 🤘🏻
Great video Trev!! Love your style and clarity. I saw one of your videos of your Bedford van. What a beautiful job. I have a paint question
Did you use single stage or two stage? I want to repaint my old 70 Mercedes and would like to keep it as original as possible. So I was thinking single stage. What's your thoughts?
You know how explain everything🔥🔥 thanks💪🏻
Thank you 😊
Great video, I used your methods today, fitting and welding the upper cowl panel on my Oldsmobile project, thanks so much for posting.... Cheers from midwest USA!
olzracer Brilliant I hope it came out as well as you’d hoped. Cheers Trev 👍
quality work from a quality guy,
Interesting stuff and very useful tips. In the morning (Sunday 03/08/2019) I will be mig welding a repair section into an old galvanized water trough for dairy cattle on a local farm. It will be 20 or so years old and has rotted though. Have done these jobs many times but I will use you panel cutting tips to make the repair. Cheers young man your tips are much appreciated.
learn something new with each vid trev! keep it up mate
Thanks Trev. Very informative. Just starting a Honda S2000 renovation. Really helpful, hadn’t picked up on some of the tips/ explanations before.
Excellent. Thank You.
Thanks trev
Love your videos and your Bedford!
Another great video Trev.
Thanks for the tips I got some panels to weld up
Mate, your videos are really great! Thank you.
Thanks Scott, much appreciated 👍
Excellent tutorial, couldn't be demonstrated any better, massive THANK YOU to you and your excellent work
I've never done any welding myself and just seen a bunch of tutorials here and there, but do want to get my hands into it but didn't quite know where to start, whether to go for a gas-based or solely electric for welding car parts, not quite massive jobs and it's only meant for doing little projects, would be nice to know your opinion on this!
Cheers
Love your videos bro and your accent. I'm and oid Texas guy and I have to listen closely. However I can tell we can learn alot from your years of experience. Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Great video. Great hair.
Thanks! About to have a go of thin sheet welding with a novice who plans to fix up a car, your tips are great, and burst some bubbles and misinformation. The tip about keep sheet flat and micro gap between edges is invaluable.
Много разговора ни очем
~ Just subscribed and will definitely be checking out all of your videos! 😉👍🏻🇨🇦
very impressive welding work. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
This is so helpful!
Quality work
Excellent video
Just finished watching....the real value in this Bedford resto. is the fact the vehicle was manufactured with purpose. The purpose was utilitarian. Your end goal is to put it back into service. As a merchant of tea and cake it will again be of practical use. Not a toy or museum prop, but again serving the public in a useful enterprise. I see it as an exceptional labour of love that will bring joy;and smiles; to all who work out of;and purchase items from; this piece of British history. The blending of new and old brings an even greater practical utility to your unique Bedford. Thank you for showing me there are still artisans with hard-earned skills and most of all: SOUL. The very best to you and yours.
Absolutely excellent content! Thanks for sharing you knowledge.
wow looks great
Thx! I'm learning the weld craft. It's much harder than it looks. These tips are priceless!
Hi Trev , I’ve been doing bodywork for 40 plus years it’s nice to see someone doing it Wright keep up the good videos
Thanks for tips and tricks, they will come in handy for when I carry out major panel reconstruction on an old micra k11.
I've been very educated, entertained and spired by this series. Because I'm in a learning/doing mode, I've watch nearly every one. You are such a remarkable instructor. Your mastery of the craft, your artistic flare, your innovate solutions and your accent make you a truly gifted man indeed. Best of luck to you in 2020 as you change focus.
