    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  Год назад +32

      You are right that will need to be coated. But coating it with por 15 would have delayed my video another day so I will spray some rust preventative in the gap between the brace and the panel I'll put that process in the video next time. Thanks for the tip

    • @TheHyde8875
      @TheHyde8875 Месяц назад +2

      Other thing is instead of working the weld continuously one direction, jump around and back step the welds. Requires a hell of a lot less body work at the end by minimizing shrinkage and warping.

      @@actually5004Sadly most of the work I’ve seen is repair shops who are working to insurance companies who place pressure to work down to a price rather than up to a quality.
      While I accept the level of repair in this video isn’t required for a typical fender bender, my experience (in Australia) is that it’s the insurer who signs off on repairs and it’s typically a risk management approach of “near enough is good enough”.

  • @JJZBULLITT109
    @JJZBULLITT109 Год назад +15

    I love the tape patterns. Personally I like 1/2" or 3/4" fiberglass tape as the base and then packing tape to hold it all together. After peeling it off I line the adhesive side with more packing tape. The fiberglass gives the pattern a shape memory which really helps in panel shaping and then it's reversible.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  Год назад +8

      Yes I love that! I learned that technique from Wray at pro shaper with the fiberglass tape. I use it when I am shaping metal. I was just basically making bends on this fender so I used masking tape. Thanks for watching! And for the comment!

  • @kevchev9952
    @kevchev9952 9 месяцев назад +1

    When doing rust work, it's very important to grind only the weld with a hard stone, grinding minimally on the original panel. A final light blend with a 60 grit corps disc is the only touching of the original panel that should ever take place. Then dolly the work.

      Yes. Old coke cans too. We used to cut the bottoms out of 5 cans and tape together. We then cut the top of another leaving a a portion around the opening and taping it as the bottom one. Then we punched a hole near its bottom on the side. Dropped a tennis ball in & squirted lighter fluid in and pointer up. Lit it and boom there went the tennis ball a really good distance.
      Sure as hell not with today’s cans !

    Thanks for making straightforward videos with helpful information and techniques. I appreciate rhat you don't use obnoxiously loud/terrible music for intros, transitions, etc.

    Proof that the job done correctly adds quality, bet it took less time fabricating that patch versus shaping layers of bondo. Totaly inspired!!

    Great quality work! Thanks for the knowledge sharing. I've got a lot of patch work to do around the Front and rear window channel and the lower fenders like this on my 66 el camino. This helps a LOT !! Thanks..

    bro, that patch you made is awesome. you broke that down so well, you got me believing I can make a patch panel for my 280zxt fenders. thanks for the great vid and great tips.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  Год назад +1

      Right on man! You can make the patch just take your time and get the panel as close to the curves as possible!

    You make it look so easy to do. Amazing job. 😀 I have seen other patch jobs were they use a piece of paper to draw the outlines etc. I guess there is more than one way to do the job.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  Год назад +1

      yes always more ways to do something! but I just do what I know has worked for me in the past

    One of the best things anyone taught me, in 40 years of car restorarion was when an old guy turned me on to tig welding silicon bronze for patch panels. It uses much less heat and it can be shaved effortlessly with a vixen file. Heat is the enemy. Less welding and grinding heat make a more consistent repair. But a repair like this gets it done perfectly.

      Thanks man and yes that is the great thing about Silicon Bronze

    Like the format of the vid. Clear Concise and to the point. LUV the masking tape templating. I've used that method for yrs. and its the fastest most accurate way to make patterns. awsum.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator
      @BeAMetalFabricator  Год назад

      The tape template works wonders you can get quite complex with these patterns depending on the panel. thanks for watching!

    Good job. At first, it looked like the patch panel was a bit too big ....... but you nailed it perfectly. I liked the way the video moved right along. Some folks seem to think the sound of their voice is a little too interesting. Stretching things out, as some do, gets tiring. You hit it perfectly. Great post and fun to watch.

    • @BeAMetalFabricator

    "Hammer off dolly", what a useful and descriptive phrase that should be used more.

      It used to be common. I learned from an old greaser who taught me hammer on dolly and hammer off dolly.
