Guys, thanks for another great vid. Love watching your work. I've picked up so many tips and techniques which I use on my restoration projects and for that, I thank you! Splitting that sill panel and letting it relax was another gem. Keep them coming!
She’s coming up nicely Darryl and Mick. I watch other channels and I still can not understand why they use so much fillers. I can understand a little here and there but man they wipe the whole car. Darryl has shown Mick the Skill by the looks. I love it and there needs to be more like this. Best father and son show. Hard working attention to detail. Aussie Gentleman Thanks 🙏
I've been watching this incredible full classic resto from the start. You guys are an amazing down to earth and honest father and son combo to whom I'd trust my life to 👌✌️💪👍
Great work guys , great to see your skills and trade applied .I have enjoyed watching how you do things and take no short cuts .One important thing to remember when we worked on cars like this as younger men they were not worth much at all ( and we didnt have much money ).The guy at the corner did the panel work and painted , the engines were built in the shed - so alot of patch work was common .Nowdays - Quality money and time .Either you have the time and skills and you get quality, or pay for the skills the time and get the quality
I remember that year in 1972 I was 10 years old watching the race on tv, I think Allan Moffat in the falcon won the two years previously, the dealer team car in those days, it rained the mighty little Torana with Brock, I think it was his first win, that was the race that cemented me to never miss a bathurst. I like how you guys do it right always top notch work.
Happy New Year to you guys! Looking forward to progress on the Torana! She's going to be one of the very best unmodified Toranas on the planet! Cheers. Leigh. 🏴
G'day, Great video gents. 27.10 showed the moment spot on that the drivers side sill popped when you opened it up. It certainly shows the problems you can come up against with aftermarket parts. Once Mick has finished his sill, what about you put it out to us subscriber's which one is the best. 😋 So thanks for sharing guys i appreciate the advice you give. It helps me out enormously on my project, a 67 Split Window Kombi. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham. 3810
Great to see you both had a great New years break and back on deck for another great year. Great demonstration on how much difference there is between genuine and after market products can be showing that a sill can be anywhere from 1mm- 3mm which cause the door to look so out of alignment. Another great start to the years boys, missed you both. 👊👍👌💪🥰
Happy new year guys.Great to see you both safe, healthy & refreshed after the holidays.Never miss a show ❤your work,hints,tips & tricks.Tool time is very interesting & important also.Thanx heaps Pops & Mick..greetings from Adelaide.👍🍻
Beautiful work the Xu-1 will have a far better panel fit than when she rolled out out Acacia Ridge. I purchased a new September '72 I picked it up on Tuesday...& lost my drivers licence Saturday arvo😢 I sold it 2010 56,000 miles genuine on the clock I still wish I never sold it . The colour was Tangerine. Good work guys.
Happy New year guys. It's been a pleasure watching your vids. I'm always waiting for the next one to come out. I'm really learning from you guys and trying to do the same on my LC GTR. You've inspired me heaps. Keep up the good work.
If I managed to win the sexy Bathurst Torrie it would end up in my display cabinet for all to see.Great conversation starter...I have mostly road ragers miniature Holden's & a few trax models.I also collect Valiants,Fords & some American old school model kits etc...greetings from Adelaide guys.👍🍻
I changed both my sills front and back and inners. problem was different companies made them. I had to brace my frame so it didn't move around as well. I spent days adjusting aftermarket panel but hey better than no panels
Love to find some people that still have his cars so I could pass some info on . I know his xc Fairmont still has the same plates and is still registered
Welcome back legends!! i have been waiting patiently for the next episode! Quick question, how does the quality of the steel from the Genuine panels to aftermarket compare? You make it look too easy when you blended the 2. Keep up the Great work, and looking forward to the next one. Cheers!
If it's a aftermarket panel we like to plug weld. Because it's a little bit different material / metal. So we know with a plug weld it's welded 100%. spot welder can play up sometimes with aftermarket panels.
Hi guys.. Scott from NZ here. More awesome work in this episode. Just a question.. When you were sanding the 2 different surfaces on the boot, is it better to do it by hand rather than use an orbital sander? .
Silly question from a silly bloke but how do you protect the inside of the panels and welds from rusting again? Is there a way to get in there and spray it?
I have been to the factory in Taiwan that make these panels along with the ford panels, years ago i sent them the xy falcon body for them to copy the parts, they are not interested in making them 100% correct, if the first mold attempt is wrong , it's to expensive to change, hence some panels fit great others are crap, in the end i gave up, other companies were happy to sell what ever they could get.
You boys are a last of a dying breed! True craftsman and professionals. Incredible tradesman and a joy to watch
Cheers @nugget2317 thanks for watching.

Cheers @dazzahsvcoupe1029
Great prize. Xu1's been my favorite performance car since I was a kid. Yep that are same age as I am.
You had me confused on the top of that sill until you cut it and it popped into position. Nice work.
I bet your door gaps and sills are straighter than the die cast model 😍 another great episode, thanks.
😂 lol cheers @Nlusky123
Look forward to the Great progress on the little Torrie Fellas👍
Best Wishes to you and your family🙏

They sure do take time and we know the feeling hahah. Your right its better than no panels that's for sure. Cheers @anthonybezzina2638 👍
Found some receipts today from when my old man bought his lc xu1 back in 78 .
That's unreal @huggy7520 and very cool.
Yes it is . That from the xu1 and the first insurance when he bought his 78 xc gxl Fairmont .
Love to find some people that still have his cars so I could pass some info on . I know his xc Fairmont still has the same plates and is still registered
@@huggy7520 you never know. people might read this comment and help you find his cars.
Thanks . Iv past all information of dads cars onto my sister
Be cool to get the Little XU1, great work on the Torana guy's.👌

Welcome back legends!! i have been waiting patiently for the next episode! Quick question, how does the quality of the steel from the Genuine panels to aftermarket compare? You make it look too easy when you blended the 2. Keep up the Great work, and looking forward to the next one. Cheers!
Hey @scottyr6033 there is a difference in them. We will try talk about that on the next episode. Cheers 👍
Mick is there any reason you and pops don’t use a spot welder to join the sills and panels cheers gong
If it's a aftermarket panel we like to plug weld. Because it's a little bit different material / metal. So we know with a plug weld it's welded 100%. spot welder can play up sometimes with aftermarket panels.
Where do you source the aftermarket sill replacement panels you use?
Need a spot welder for the authentic factory look.
Yes we do have one. we will still give it the authentic factory spot marks. we just like to plug weld non genuine panels on. Cheers @65cj55👍
CANT WAIT too see it all sanded with 80 git in bare metal
We can't wait to @AdventureMotoEnduro we looking forward to that.
Hi guys.. Scott from NZ here. More awesome work in this episode. Just a question.. When you were sanding the 2 different surfaces on the boot, is it better to do it by hand rather than use an orbital sander? .
Hey @ScottGiltrap we only do it by hand so you can feel the highs and lows.
Silly question from a silly bloke but how do you protect the inside of the panels and welds from rusting again? Is there a way to get in there and spray it?
when the sill is split with the grinder dont filings get inside the sill and wiill rust causing the sill to rust
The sill will be removed again. It is only screwed on for the pre fit. The next episode we will show the next steps.
I have been to the factory in Taiwan that make these panels along with the ford panels, years ago i sent them the xy falcon body for them to copy the parts, they are not interested in making them 100% correct, if the first mold attempt is wrong , it's to expensive to change, hence some panels fit great others are crap, in the end i gave up, other companies were happy to sell what ever they could get.
That's interesting thanks for sharing @maxtraction5388. Would be cool to go see this.
I have pic's of the factory if your interested.@@adamsonautobody
