WB UTE - BODY WORK PART#1

WELCOME Back everyone - let the body work begin!! The joys of body work, body filler, sanding, and dust has arrived. i also do a realistic cost to this point of the build.

Great work Lee, love your thinking outside the box to get things done, use of the sheeting was brilliant! Also love reading your answers to people's comments. Keep up the great work

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks Stuart im glad your enjoying the build! yeah i was hoping the shape of the off cut was close and lucky for me it was a great fit with a little bit of tweaking & shaping. thanks for your support i really do appreciate the comments 👍

[@robertkelly7075]

It's been very interesting viewing, great job

[@goldshiftgarage]

cheers mate, glad your enjoying the channel

Yep that's lead on the roof join, will be some above the tail lights aswell. Most people say burn it off and use filler but I just leave it. Looking good so far, keep at it.

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks for the info mate, appreciate it. yeah i think i will leave it also i mean its super smooth on the roof. thanks for the support - its finaly coming together

[@nathanobrien6875]

Making great progress mate

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks mate, slowly but surely chipping away.

[@michaelbyrnes7944]

Square cuts in doing rust repairs is a no no as it creates stress pulls in the corners of the welds . Do round corners

[@TwistedMetalCustoms]

oh i cant wait mate, its looking great! haha yeah the engine build will add a buck or 2 to the build cost!

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks mate she is certainly progressing. im preparing for the over cycle to come once i hit the engine build haha

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Yeah the roof has lead on the joins to the frame, also bronze on the A pillars. Some used it as a filler so that might be why it’s down the rear end, don’t think that’s from manufacture.

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks for the info mate, appreciate it. hows your build coming along?

[@timwhalan6417]

[@TravisBarnett-ne3qs]

[@markelliott6370]

Yeah mate lead
You should epoxy your progress as you go

[@goldshiftgarage]

G'day there mate, I like your work! I'm up to the same stage and using the same procedures you are, I'm just not sure if I should put the filler onto bare metal or over the epoxy? Does it really matter or just scuff the epoxy up then fill over that? Cheers! 👍🇦🇺

[@davidbrowning6284]

Don't put filler over bare metal, it won't stick to the metal and will trap moisture , apply over the apoxy primer

[@goldshiftgarage]

thanks for watching mate, i would / did put the filler over the epoxy. i did slightly scuff it but not enough to break through the epoxy. once you apply the filler & sand you can always respray over with epoxy to protect the bare metal you have rubbed off during sanding. I have learnt so much during this build.
