Preparing The Pontiac for Power Tour PART 1 ~ Precision Terrible Bodywork
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- So I'm an idiot and agreed that Amber can take her 1968 Pontiac Ambulance on the 2024 Hot Rod Power Tour! It needs some things. It needs to quit allowing gallons of water to pour into its interior. That requires auto bodywork which I know nothing about! I'm awful! Soooo... let's learn how to do it all wrong together! This is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more!

Dalton from pole barn garage would be the man to help
Everybody is making 1 hr + videos i love it
I'd rather they be an hour or more. Takes me a couple weeks to make them though. Hell of a lot easier on my blood pressure this way. Lol
When working in grass or gravel keep an old speaker around. Just drag the magnet around real quick to find those dropped tiny screws and clips.
I actually have one of those rolling magnets. Just never got it out to use it. I did find the clip 2 days later lol
Looking good
Thanks!
I believe the Pontiac Ambulances were based on the Pontiac Bonneville. One of the company's that made them was Superior Coach Company in Ohio. They made Cadillac ambulances also. There was another company that made ambulances around that time but I don't remember who it was.
Miller-meteor made them.
i am a professional body guy, well maybe not professional but have worked in a bodyshop since i was a kid. i wouldnt sweat it. That glass will last forever.If it was me i would put some better primer on it but i think you did a good job man
Thanks!
My favorite metal guy is geoffrey croker here on RUclips
I'll check him out!
Good morning 🌄 Jay
Very helpful vlog
I'm not going to critique you
I thought this was very interesting
I've walked away from many potential project cars ,
Simply because of , roof rot / corrosion
It's not like you can scroll through the AMD catalog and score a fresh stamped roof sink , for a vintage ambulance
Those 1/8" thick strips were a good idea 💡 to maintain roof height off of , the inner roof supports structures
Good luck!!🍀
Looks good keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Turned out good
Thanks 👍!
I’ve heard CLR will clean up the paint and bring out the paint.. then poppys wipe on clear
Awesome video JAY. Looking good for not knowing what your doing. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
Bro. Looking good!
Thanks!
I think you’re doing better than you think for your first time. If you were fixing my car to the best of your ability I would love it!
Thanks!
Fibreglass paste is the boy for the roof mix it up and cut baking tray house grease proof paper it's amazing for moulding shape used to use a polyethylene bag grease proof paper takes it to another level easy
Pop off the trim around the front windshield and put in rope style butyl instead of silicone it's a gray compound that doesn't dry up and it will adhere better than silicone and if you ever have to replace the glass you'll have a much better experience cleaning it up because once you put silicone on something it destroys the surface and doesn't allow anything else to stick to it
I actually was going to pull the trim. But the pins wanted to come with it. It needs a lot more work around the windshield than I'm personally ready for lol
Keep trying u will get it , maybe mix it lil better piece of plexiglass works for mixing board
Actually bought a cheap ass clip board. Works perfectly.
I love this rig! Good work for not knowing what you’re doing, could have fooled me!
Hopefully it lasts at least a couple months lol
lol pin holes happen no matter what. Glazing putty fills them fast and easy
That's what I was doing today as a matter of fact. Had no idea. Was fed up and bought a squeeze bottle of goop. I'll be damned if it didn't work lol
don't worry about the pin holes. that's why you use a thin skim layer of bondo to take care of that. from one trucker to another, you're doing a good job. are you an O/O? i was for 10 years. 2003 to 2013. first truck was a 2000 t600 3406E 13sp. traded it for 2006 w900L c15 18sp.
Yip, that's what I've been doing 👍
I like it myself. Think you did an ok job. I’d try some flex seal on a scrap pieces of car body. I suspect if you put that stuff on with a foam roller with very thin coats it would turn out quite slick. I used some the other day on a tin roof course I slopped it on but I noticed the can lid got some on it and when it dried it was super slick and uniform.
It's pretty good stuff.
It may have been easier to cut the rain gutter off and weld a strip from end to end. Then fiberglass the roof. I'd love to find one of these wagons. Looks cooler than a standard wagon with all the storage.
My welding is as good as my bodywork lol.
Back when I first met my gf I was showing her how to clean the vinyl top on her 72 Nova and she says now you can finish the job, so i say to her, This is your dang car I only need this passenger side looking good. in fact, if you're gonna be coming by here to pick me up, you should be doing a lot better job. lol
🤣
Maybe id blast some Rinocoat over the whole deal. Check out weird beard . He had the same deal on his Fury. His roof came out looking good . Great car. Should be big fun. Good luck.
Fury not Duty.
This is one job I'd be open to the bedliner treatment, so much real estate .. is this a multipart series.
Definitely multipart. Actually sanding on it now.
Bit with aerial stalk would have had a light box made from plastic with ambulance written sign on it rust from water running into it roofs fine British hearse had all fibreglass and wood roofs the metal doesn't need to be strong doesn5 carry stretcher on outside!
love it ! My idea of body work is linseed oil 💪👊
Probably get a clear coat system.
Just found your channel while doing my prep for HRPT 2024 video…I feel much better about my list :) nice work, good fun! Also we’re coming from WI and coming through Effigham on the way.
Awesome! Lots of good places to stop and eat in Effingham! Gabby Goat is a favorite of mine. When your going home from Indy plan a stop in Teutopolis IL. that Friday evening. HUGE car show. Lots of Mopars. Might as well be Mopar central! Have fun!
Look up Teutopolis Cruise and Car Show on Facebook
I’d say you did a lot of good for it. Probably bought it several years. Short of making new metal for it and piecing it in. But if time is money man you’d be looking at some hours there.
Should hold a while. I needed the water to stop. Now maybe I can actually do a better job on the floors.
White vinegar works wonders on rust you just have spray it off with water standard cheap vinegar from Walmart works better than a evapor rust and is 110th the cost
Concours restoration this is not. But if it works it works. I have seen way worse than this. Keep up the good work.
Power tour is a future goal of mine
It's a good time
Body man I used to work with called them clips Jesus clip's when they went flying Jesus Christ where'd thatclip go. 😊
Those HF 4" air cut off tool, I got a couple of em and I'm thinkin' they might junk. I got an older Craftsman 1hp I believe its 9 or 10 cfm and that tool peters out at about 2" of sheet metal cuttin', gives me the sads.
I definitely need a new one
@@IrishOutlawGarage I was thinkin about going through them to see if they're effed, got a die grinder with a leaky trigger seal, and an old air impact that's locked up tight - then I'm thinkin that compressor might be just tired too. sigh
@user-cn8dn6nr6u my compressor is just to small
@@IrishOutlawGarage idk the bigger ones spin that meter twice as fast and you still have same amount of sanding, I know if 80 grit is good, then 40 grit is better.
@@IrishOutlawGarage ps I was trying post to let you know about Valvoline racing oil on the jungle site, it has 2x zinc and other goodness and its only 8 bucks a qt for 10w30 delivered in 2 days FREE .. some reason yt kept deleting the post.
Nice yeah old pole barn will shoot ya straight I like his style lol poor farm boy paint and finish lol but works and if it works is it wrong lol 😂😊 nope
This is getting the tractor paint. Probably with a brush lol. So hold onto your hats!! 😆
For your first go around it sure as shit looks a hell of a lot better than my first go around. Just fucking go for it, right?
The "finished" product looks better than I thought I could do. It'll be in the next video
@@IrishOutlawGarage I bet you will have a lot of very positive comments on power tour. What a rig to be taking!
You're too hard on yourself.
I don't think so. I'm passionately sarcastic of myself 🤣
Now your making work, that's a can of worms i wouldn't open😉
Good luck.
