    I doubt anyone would notice that body work with the patina look. I think it’s ok to have dents and dings. Great work CT. It will be good practice for those other projects where you end with a finished look and paint job but for the patina part of the beauty is that it’s okay to have scratches and dents. It gives the car character.

  • @caseyspirit9385
    @caseyspirit9385 Год назад +4

    Just a tip for spreading bond; think of the metal as the ocean floor. When u see it start to show u have reached the highest spot, you can either knock it down lower or bring the rest up to it. Also spread your Bondo from the high spot to the low. So on this piece from bottom up and then go with the seam to get even plane.

      It's a pretty simple design. I think I have a build video from last year. I'll see if I can find it. It's basically 2x4s built into a square with casters from HF. I think it cost $100...I have another one I built made from square metal tubing that is taller. They both come in handy depending on the work you are doing.

    In order to get where you want to be skill wise in body work, you'll need to do body work on several cars. Not necessarily entire thing but on dents and panel repair/replacement. The more you do, the better you get. Not saying you work isn't good because it certainly is. But to do the job you want on that other car that you want a professional look on, you'll need more practice doing body work. Practice makes perfect, as they say. Truth in that.

It's expensive for plans and materials but these wood boats that are a version of the classic Criscraft that are worth thousands.

    It's good to remember that when it comes to the sheet metal on these vintage cars, when you're obsessing over the flatness of the quarterpanel or the body panel alignments, your own work is very often better than factory quality. Tesla body panels historically were badly misaligned even to the naked eye. Check out a trunk lid from say a Ford Fairlane from that era. Like as not the fitment was pretty poor from the factory. You're doing just fine, man.
