My friend Pete is a very nice guy I called him a few days ago and he called me back today and we talked for a little bit talking about painting and bodywork. I just started my own bodyshop and was asking his advice he is a very smart guy and he knows his stuff . And based on what I seen he is a very good painter and very skilled. If I lived closer to him it would be fun to go help him out on the weekends for free just to learn from him . Keep up the awesome work .
Thanks for this video. I am trying to learn enough welding to do a driver quality restore of a 65 Galaxie fastback. This video really brought it all together for me. I am 65 years old, I always wanted to do an old car, so now I am finally doing it with my six year old grandaughter. Thanks for the videos actually showing the work being done in different ways according to budget.
Have been watching for several years now gaining DIY body work information and tips…. Now I’m putting it into practice…. Thanks providing the confidence….crawl , walk, run!
Hi Pete! I’m working on my first full body resto. It’s a 76 highboy. I’ve just replaced one cab mount and the Front floors. Lots of welding! Of course you know this but a tip for the new guys is that you can also use compressed air to cool your welds.
Sometimes it's low budget jobs that come in. I got a few customers that bring me half finished stuff. It's kind of annoying but they pay well and don't complain and are repeat customers. It is what it is. You'll do them decent, you always do 👍
Some people use air to cool down in between welds. One guy used a thermal gun to prove air cool faster than water. Have you tested that process before?
Tks more welding videos please just purchase the HF Titanium 200 the one that does gas tig msg flux core I know it’s spendy but if you could ever do a video with that welder and give your thoughts that be a great RUclips video. Tks Pete
either 18 or 20 gauge.. The 18 on older cars is a good match to whats there and on newer stuff I use 20 gauge but no thinner then that.. Thanks for watching!
Could you do something to reduce the chance of warpage? Maybe cool the piece down before welding? It would be impractical to shell out money for a walk in freezer to weld in. If in fact it did reduce warpage,why not? Beats the hell out of working in a shop with a fan to keep you cool. At least in the Summer. Bonus! Cold Beer & a place to keep bodies.
The first time I tried this I got fucked in the ass. And ended up warping the metal. I'm no welder so every time I weld it looks like a 12-year-old did it. Luckily for me RUclips exist and I applied the stitch weld method and it works like a charm.
@@OldBondoBillybut wah!! He's using Mig lol old goat 🐐 we all have are ways too get it done!...been watching Pete for a long time....and to the dude that said that was Billy goats work... No way! goat boy welds way better with flux core and leaves no holes or pore ros sotee😂😂😂
Welding can be easy or hard, it's all the way you take your time and DO IT! Please THUMBS UP for SUPPORT and leave a comment.. Thanks for watching!

It's always good to watch Pete. Nice work again mate.
I’ve seen your videos. I have no question on the quality of work you do. Keep up the good work.
Great lesson Pete !!! …. I have some sheet metal repair to do and this gives me confidence to do it , and get at doing a few practice pieces 👍🏻
Nice video. Thank you for sharing your years of skills with all of us.
Been watching and learning from my friend Pete for over 10 years now
are these new videos or reruns?
Love your videos my friend Pete, you are the BEST!!
TCB Pete; Taking care of Business. Given us MIG or TIG. Using air after each spot will work also. Thanks Pete for decades of learning!
Thanks Pete great video and tutorial. I bought a cheap harbor freight welder and gonna to try that stitch weld.
Have you tried cooling with air from a compressor
Great video! Great information! Skilled info for the real world! Great job man!
Another Good job.... My Friend Pete
Thanks Pete that was very interesting!
I learned a lot from your videos MFP being a DIYer.
Sometimes it's low budget jobs that come in. I got a few customers that bring me half finished stuff. It's kind of annoying but they pay well and don't complain and are repeat customers. It is what it is.
You'll do them decent, you always do 👍
Great video pete. Thanks for sharing
Nice job. What machine do you use to weld? I need to do some job in a classic car
The mig welding sounds good 👍
Always love ur videos Pete 😊JR in 🇨🇦

Thanks Pete, much appreciated !
Now that's how it's done!👏👏👏 those old welds look like some of the "masters" here on RUclips 😅
What you see is what you get.
Hack job or not
What you see is what you get
Well done my friend
Great video , always learn something from you
can i do this on a floor pan section? thanks.
Very good repair welding class A plus
Thanx , I needed that
Tks more welding videos please just purchase the HF Titanium 200 the one that does gas tig msg flux core I know it’s spendy but if you could ever do a video with that welder and give your thoughts that be a great RUclips video. Tks Pete
Awesome,as usual.
Can I weld sheet metal with stick welding?
Don't be afraid to use your body hammer as you go. Use the heat to your advantage if needed.
What gauge sheet metal do you use to do your patch work? If you don't mind me asking Pete.
I always use oe thickness
either 18 or 20 gauge.. The 18 on older cars is a good match to whats there and on newer stuff I use 20 gauge but no thinner then that.. Thanks for watching!
Makes a lot of sense
are these new videos or reruns?
Dam good one Pete 👍🏻

Once you said you needed to Make It Work with what you got, I knew we were on the same page.
Is it possible to weld panel steel with a gasless mig welder ?
Short answer. Yes😊
That panel has more metal in it than on some cars I've seen in shows.
Ya I know how it is. I don't want people to think I'm an Asshole,but I get that alot of times. I mean some of the time.😂
Pete i used a football to pop out a huge dent in my trunck lid...hack job worked 79% better...it just wont shut now🤦♂️

If BB did it, she was done right. 😊JR in 🇨🇦
.030 is not 30ga. its 22ga.
Talk, talk, talk, repeat, repeat, repeat, talk, talk, talk.
If anyone wants to learn about welding sheet metal, .....go anywhere else and click.
.
You talk too damn much. 😮
That is not sheet steel, my auto sheet steals is .7 millimeters thick, if i use your method, i will burn through my steel
