    Great way to start my Saturday morning! Thank you for the video. Doing similar repairs soon to my bus and trying as much practice off the car before I start surgery. Great help.

    Coming along nicely! Someone is going to get a great start on a rod.

    If someone didn’t see what you started with, they wouldn’t believe it’s the same body. Looks great. Enjoy doing the drivers side without worrying about filming. Thanks

    Nice job. I have used the aftermarket panels and it’s not easy your doing a great job. It’s going to be a great rod for some one to finish up. Keep up the great work.

      Thanks so much. I was a little nervous buying panels. However it was cheaper than buying the bead roller dies and then having to take the time to make them.
      Thanks again for the kind words !

    Patch panels always take longer than we plan. I usually form my own panels which for me I really enjoy the stretch and roll of the metal. I started out using gas welding. So the torch is my friend. Meg welding came along for me 20 years after the gas welding now I want to try teg which to me right now appears like going back to gas but with an arc puddle which I am used to working. You are doing such a great job on this build! Right now we are recovering from the blizzard of last evening we were down to gravel in the drive yesterday but there is 2 feet of snow there now. Puts me to thinking of what it was like back in the old days when we drove our models through the snow to get into town for supplies.

    I used a propane torch and heated up the underside of the door to remove the undercoat. Works great

    It's getting there Mike. Someone will be getting a great starter car and if they have your determination they may end up with a nice car they can enjoy and be proud of.

    You're killing it! I've watched so many guys put in patch panels and cut /weld them tight. Ya need that little area to fill so you're not building it to high and grinding to thin. It's refreshing to see you do it correctly. Thanks for sharing with us.

    I found that an air operated needle-gun tool works good in removing the old dried out undercoating from the frame, underbody and doors of my '51 Chevy truck project. And it's safer than using a torch and scraper. Hope that helps you.

    Hi Mike . Really enjoy the videos , like watching a regular guy work his way thru the issues. I am in the middle of a 31 model a coupe build myself. May I ask whose patch panels you are using? I am in need of some and those look great . Thanks for your time and great work. Regards Mike.

    Good morning from Northern California might I make a suggestion for you and your other viewers to consider the white rims seem to get lost on the white wall tires might they be black to match the the grill and define the split between the white walls rim and hub capJust a thought for you to imagine in your mind's eye

    • @ThisOldHotrod
      @ThisOldHotrod  Год назад +2

      No. I like cream wheels.
      They were black when I got them.
      You can paint your wheels black 😁👍🏼. The joys of hot rodding is to do things how you want to do things. Also to appreciate how others build their cars.
      Well that’s my thought anyways.

    Hello. Great job as always. The to me personally is the job you are doing is coming from you. The little bit of music is good. But honestly don't edit you talking to much out. You don't realize but the smallest detail of you just talking may be what helps someone threw there day. I would rather hear you talk . Some channels are good they just play more music than let there listeners be part of the build. So keep up the good work.
