I just wanted to say thank you for showing all the steps and techniques you use in your repairs, as well as the logic behind them. As someone new to the trade (less than 6 months in) watching what you do has helped me learn the proper way of doing these repairs and have the confidence to take on more challenging work than I otherwise would.
Legit. I’ve literally torn down a vehicle, went home for the day, checked out one of Kyle’s videos and did the job the next day (with mentor supervision as I was an apprentice at the time). Confidence boost for sure!
I have been doing a bit of bodywork using repair panels and I wasn’t sure where I should cut and how to make sure the cuts line up. Thanks for showing us the finer details, it makes so much sense. Clamp the repair panel to the body and make rough cuts through both. Why didn’t I think of that before.
5:54am, that was when I thought this would be outside my ability to follow. Seriously, amazing to watch you work. I love the way you cut the pieces together for the fitment to be perfect!
I actually have to weld a whole new piece . Everything . This seems like nothing compared to what I have to pay someome to do it to my truck . The whole thing on my truck is destroyed. Is it fixable ?
I got a 2006 Nissan Sentra which got hit in a car accident I gotta cut and replace the B pillar and the rocker panel just like you show in this video my question is where online I can buy the entire piece just like yours to cut it and replace it to my car? Thank you 🙏🏿
Great videos. I am new to body work and on a steep learning curve. At 0.54 you mention "section procedures". I assume that is some sort of OEM specification? Can I ask where do you get those industry specifications as someone new to the industry so your work is done in the right way?
Wow you didn't have to replace that portion of the b pillar, its nice to know how you treat car insurance companies. If someone was paying out of pocket I sure hope you wouldn't do that to them? You could have easily pulled that back into place and tapped the portion into place. You turned a $5,000 job into a $10,000 job
Awesome as always! Been doing body work for 10 months with no prior experience. I’ve used your videos more than once to learn how to do things! What are you using for a extended cut off tool? I currently have a side cut IR but it’s odd to cut with. Thinking of getting a straight extended. Also, what are you using for your wire wheel crud tool? Appreciate you and your content! Thanks!
Love the vids dude! Been watching you on Snapchat for around a year and recently found you on RUclips. Very entertaining to watch as someone who is an amateur mechanic with zero skill with body work stuff haha. This might as well be magic to me. Out of curiosity, what kind of cam are you using?
Hello Kyle , Im fixing a chevrolet SS , the B pillar is bent on the bottom part , where it is welded to the rocker reinforcement . it is high strength steel , impossible to straightening it for me , Question : can I sectioning the bent part and weld a good section back? thanks
Interesting video, it would be a disaster if I try that. Do any guys know who can repair a pillar on a Ford Fiesta in the Stoke Staffordshire area. Thanks
I wonder too. You might be able to see the onset of break through, but the camera can’t quite pick it up. Then again, with as many as these guys do, they can probably go by time and feel.
You can see how far you've gone into the spot weld fairly easily in person, but I think with a camera and its 2D visuals it make it hard to see in a video.
spot welds are shaped like a bowl when the welder compresses the two panels together... and the deepest part of the bowl is the weld... he is sanding off the rim of the bowl to set the panel free... then you have to go back and sand off all the spot welds from the part that remains on the car.. is that understandable?
Why is it that collision shops do not want to do restoration type work? I have a 90 K5 that needs floor pans and rocker and nobody wants to touch it. Any advise? I honestly would like to tackle it myself.
Because to do it right, it not only sucks to do, but takes a heck of a lot longer than straight collision repair. Like it or not, a shop is out there to make money, and what they would have to charge you to make the same money they do on collision work would curl most peoples toes. With today's information, and the proliferation of GOOD consumer level body working stuff, there is no reason you can't do a sound, job right in your garage, IF you commit to taking the time to learn to do it right.
@@patdaly5769 kind of figured it was like that. I am not looking for perfection as it is a street/trail ride. Just has a lot of sentimental value. I definitely want to do a good job and am willing to take my time and work it slow to make sure it is right.
@@patdaly5769 I do want to learn to do it right though, so any tips would be gratefully accepted. Have even looked into autobody/welding classes. I am just a lowly Firefighter/Paramedic, money is tight, time not as much. Would love to be able to say look at what I did.
collision shops are paid by insurance companies... if I had to spec out the total cost of some restoration jobs the customer would never pay to have the work done correctly... a small shop might help you out... so with your blazer those floors are mostly available in patch panels.. check some chevy sites if you want but its not common to get a full floor pan like you would for a mustang or camaro and just weld it all in.. also you most likely need rockers and other parts... none of that stuff is high strength steel so you can weld it all up with a mig welder and make your sections where ever you want pretty much grind it clean and you're good. I would suggest you do it like kyle did this and do it in an overlay method where you cut out all the bad parts of one area and then overlay the new part and cut through both parts to make your butt welds.. however some people are fine with lap welds and thats good in that case you don't cut through both parts.. you would screw the new part to the hole with self tapping sheet metal screws and then from the underside hit the new part through the opening with some primer to mark on the new part where the hole is.. cut your new part by placing a 1/2 inch masking tape around that primer to give yourself a 1/2 inch lap .. then with a flange tool you flange the new part and then punch it for spot welds.... butt welds are more professional but its a blazer you aren't selling it at barrett jackson... goop that seam sealer on thick

If this is considered destroyed, my b pillar must be beyond hope

Amazing art. How long dose it take to do something like this. The video is so short but the amount of detail is crazy precise.

>slight dust
"Well, this is gonna need replacing"

nice job please what is the name of the grinder and where do i buy a B pillar from
How do yo know when to stop with your mini air file on grinding the spot welds?

No weld threw primer used on your backer plates????
Muy bien Bro saludos desde Honduras👌
How much would a job like this cost, approximately? I feel like I’m being ripped off by my autobody shop😢
We have a different definition of destroyed.
How much did this cost?
Отлично, бро👍 Учусь у тебя.
anyone know where to find lower B-Pillar for 98 jeep XJ's?
