My car does not need repairs (fingers crossed) and I didn't come here for informative purposes. I simply came because I realize I quite enjoy the ambiance of guys working on cars in their shops knowing and showing a lot of stuff. The processes of automotive manufacturing, maintenance, and repairs are truly intricate and it is quite pleasing to get to kick back and relax in my comfy living room and watch people show you the journey
I know it was said before but this is defiantly the best way to do advertising. You get to actually see the products in use. I know I honest to goodness tried your epoxy primer, sanding blocks, chassis paint, and palm sander all from stumbling across your youtube videos. In case anyone is wondering all of the above products I have used work great. I also ended up getting their powder coating gun and powder which is awesome!
I really dig this series! Being in school for collision repair these videos have actually done there job well and have helped me apply some techniques into my own projects as well as customers vehicles. Big shoutout to Kevin for all his knowledge and passing it on to us!
Guys my 55 Bel Air 4 door sedan only weighed a little under 3,300 pounds, I had a 57 Ford 2 door custom with 272 CI engine that weighed in at 2,800 pounds. I was very surprised since I grew up through the 50’s and 60’s. I honestly think the structural integrity in the way the fenders etc. were shaped. The 67 Camaro I have now is only 3,240 pounds. The large rounded shapes were like having a pipe and we know how strong that is. Now days the metal is almost 1/2 the thickness of those days. The plastic, fiber glass and carbon fiber are usually pretty thick and adds a lot of weight. Of course the new ones are safer for several reasons. You guys do a great job and I have used a lot of Eastwood products over the past 20 years and have never been disappointed. Keep up the great work. 👍🇺🇸🤙😃👍👍
As another guy said in a comment this is a great way to advertise your products. I've never heard of that poly primer before but I'll be getting me some when I finally break down and paint my car.
Passion in your work no shortcuts taken do it once do it right you guys don't really realise what an impact you guys have on us trying to learn ourselves with limited tools and experience thanks a million for your videos
I watched a lot of your videos and learned a lot of techniques I own a 1990 firebird formula and plan to use the knowledge I've received by watching your videos to successfully complete my paint job. Thanks for making these educational videos and keep up the awesome work for weekend warriors like myself.
Kevin. Kewl to hear you are from BC. I'm in Surrey. I'm at the same stage now on my 67 Mustang project t as you are on Z sled in this video. I am trying to get my car straight and ready for paint.
Hey, shout out to Chris. Always nice to see kiwis doing well abroad, wish you were local to lend some of your experience in straightening out my 57. These videos are a great help tho - Thank you Eastwood, Kevin and your crew
i am working on a 1981 camaro i like the 2nd generation and first generation F bodies they are really great cars. i'm usiing 12% silica clear epoxy on it. then painting over it then clearing it again.
My paint code is PSB on my truck bright silver metallic can I use white primer and use that kind of paint over it and it will work or better to use a light gray primer wanna know.
Hey guys I have 29 people helping me and a endless supply of parts and product and a huge place to work on it but I did it all by myself look at what I made. Thanks for.the.vid.
This was Great I had 1 question. After epoxy has lost 5 day window before applying filler do you need to re spray another coat or sand to metal in those spots?
Hey John, Just saw this.. After the window is done, you have twochoices.... sand it with 80 or 180 and apply your filler... OR-- scuff it with a red pad and reapply another coat of epoxy and buy yourself another 5 days, or whatever the open-window is on that product. Thanks for watching!
I have Sparkomatic speakers in my Bird, and with the factory enclosures and new Radio, they actually sound awesome. Yup, I still have the box they came in !
Ah the old sparkomatics lol I had a sparcomatic tape deck with a ancient pioneer equalizer and Jenson 6 by 9s and 4 inch Jensons in the door in my 79 trans am in high school in 1995 and everyone though I had 10s in the truck it made to much bass and sounded awesome. At least till they saw the sparcomatic unit😀
I like the stud welder. I have been trying to figure out how to take some of the dings out of my 1964 Ford F250 and this looks doable because in some of the areas the is no way to go to the back of the panel. The truck has sentimental value since I bought it from my Dad in 1980 when I graduated from High School.
The trick with the stud welder is to take the studs only lightly. Just enough to hold. Then you can side cutter them off at the base and re-use the studs and not have a bunch to grind off.
Glad to see more of the Camaro. The earlier videos were great then the time with the Camaro dropped off. I stopped watching after 4 and am glad to see lots more Camaro
Hey Kevin more excellent work! Wish I had your guys to help on my last one! I'm sure you know this but taping up to style lines can help protect then too. Also got a piece of white foam project board (craft section), used a black wide tip marker to make parallel lines every couple of inches & hang it behind the panels I'm working on. With light on the board & overhead lights dimmed it really helps spot any defects needing more work. Keep up the good work - love to see the progress.
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode of this monthly web series. In the next episode, Kevin shows you how to upgrade the 10 bolt rear and brakes. Then, more body work and paint.
Stroker kits. If I understand stroker kits,they involve a crankshaft with a longer throw,replacing a crankshaft with a shorter throw which brings the top of the piston level with top of the block. now a crankshaft with longer throw will result in the top of the piston going higher than the top of the block. how can I stop this from happening? Thank you.
Love kevin just a great guy with great knowledge and explains everything very well. I meet him at truck nationals in Carlisle Pennsylvania years ago. Thanks to him I've painted alot of cars for people and painted some of mine. Thank you Kevin for helping me doin auto body
Hi fantastic video i have just a quick question i have stripped my car to bare metal but one guard i took the bog out of it has low and high spots do i tap the high spots down what would you do
I truly appreciate Eastwood products but lately shipping been taken 10 plus days to get to my house and Washington's date I no longer can wait that long
There's some really good info for people wanting to learn here. Chris Slee wouldn't be from New Zealand by any chance would he? With body-lines, when a sharp line is wanted, you can run some 1/4" masking tape just a hair from the line and sand to that.... just my 2cents worth. Bad practice to strangle a panel hammer though, they can't breath when you do that........
You know I am not an auto body man but I can be pretty much be a handyman that will try anything to save myself a dollar. I have an old 2000 chevy work van that was a rust bucket at the bottoms on both sides. I mean I tore out the loose rust from the bottom up. I guess about 8" of exposure. The cavity inside looked good. So anyway I wedged a 1X4" board the length of the area underneath so to only catch drips or to give it hold support till it set up. For doing the repair & sprayed Great stuff expansion foam into the cavity . It foamed up good & tight & after hours of letting it dry & get hard , I then used a hack saw to cut the sides level to the metal. I sanded only on the meal near it so to spread body putty over it with a hardner & then sanded it so to spray paint it '& bygolly it turned out pretty nice & a lot better than what it originally was. It was a hell of an improvement Now I did not take time for to prime & perfect it as my attempt was only to improve it & prevent it getting worse,.not make it like new. I did this nearly 6 months ago & it's holding it'self like gold. Course it's obvious it's not professional, but it works for me as I am not trying to profit on any sale of it or hide the defects. I work on what I can do for myself & I am content with it. So anyway don't laugh, it's paid for. L.O.L I am the good man to have on hand, Dave the handyman home repair guy & free self defense trainer, if you RUclips me ( Dave Overbey) I will show you how I defeat the hands & feet using my technique. WithIn short time opposed to others training time you could be fight ready on time to fight most anybody of any style anytime with a smile. If so you liked my style I created, please initiate me a thumbs up & feel free to reply. My training is also easy without the punishment other fight clubs inflict as in truth this training can be done in your own basement anytime as it does not require the bologna & overtraining most clubs will train on or under. It's about fighting smarter not harder. It's not the muscle hustle that victory happens it is developing habits that reacts on a thoughtless reaction to every action. Habit's are habits that once you have it your stuck with it. So the importance of building the right habit's is crucial opposed to building the wrong ones & you will then have it But it's gotta be done redundantly slow as you go & the power & speed will naturally come. Haste makes waste developing the bad habits will delay your improvement. Take your time & chime in with the right habits fighting smarter not harder for it becomes a thoughtless reflex of action to counter action for if so you need think of his next move you will be punched / kicked multiple times before you ever react. Let the habits built into a reflex do the fighting a fight for you. Watch me Dave Overbey on RUclips & don't forget me a thumbs up. L.O.L Good luck
my dads name is randy jones. and in david jones. although not the same jones i just find it funny in painting cars and one of your guys is randy jones and thats my dad.
My 81 Chevy c10 custom deluxe 10 is surface rusting under the factory fill and primer. If I take it down to bare metal can I do two coats of bondo then do two coats of bondo gold then top it off with sandable filler primer?
@@rcmcguyver7561 I'm not sure if bondo could be used overtop of the rust reformer, check the back of the bottle and itll usually say "compatible with body fillers"
Question Kevin Tetz: The part of the video that your saying low,high, low, high where you sound like your in hawaii, do you have any video's online that shows how you correct this? I have this situation on a quarter panel and I think it was caused by minor warpage on a quarter skin install I did. Do you have to hammer dolly this or if the high lows are not that far off is this something you can use body filler to level out? I haven't been able to find a video anywhere online that shows how to fix this. Thank you Tim
Your vids 're very enlightening and show lots of tricks about what bodyman needs to know. My question is , since sandin' methods vary , do you shoot polyester primer after 80 grit or you go up to 120 ? And does that apply with any brand's poly ? Thnx
+Jimmy Kostas Here's a link to the product instructions with detailed explanations based on what you're painting over. Hope this helps. www.eastwood.com/images/pdf/13522zp_instructions.pdf
Great video Kevin. I cant wait to get to this step on Project Overkill. Lots of great info here. It was nice to see all of the guys coming together to work on Zed Sled.
Great episode, was nice to see a more tech video this time. Keep'em like this. Mine is still stuck waiting to paint the underside without a rotisserie, but think I'm gonna go with 2x4 stands an working on my back. Is this car getting the flush mount glass, cause might help to test fit trim an moldings now with all those built up edges.
So I want to see if I'm understanding this process. I feel a little overwhelmed. So you sand to metal, then fast etch, then wipe off with pre painting prep, then epoxy primer, then use the filler primer, then primer surface, then paint and clear coat? Thank you for any advice.
ho kevin, I"ve watched the complete series of the zedsled and believe me I've learned alot from you but I have 1 question. I am currently painting my car and using anzal 2k paint. The thisng is I had to spray ondercoat first on some parts of the car since the gray primer is showing. By the way it's a mica red color for the base. I was not able to complete the work on the same day and have to spray base the following day. Do I still have to sand the undercoat before applying base coat or will the paint still adhere after approx.16hrs? Thanks i advance love the zed and nice job really. Keep it up.
Many people prefer to spray epoxy first, then do bodywork on top of it because they believe that could be a problem. Others always do bodywork on the bare metal, then spray epoxy on top of it. If you have that concern, spray the epoxy first. Thanks for watching our videos.
at the tech i graduated from we always did body work on top of metal like you did here just wondered why so many mixed ideas plus i bought one of your guns great buy and great videos
Hi. I need your help this guy is doing my 1971 dodge charger but is putting bondon everywhere in car and he said that he needs 10 galons.is that right?? And I don't think putting so much is right
That does seem excessive. He may want to try spraying a high build primer like Polyester Primer Surfacer: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-polyester-primer-direct-to-metal-surfacer.html
amazing work fellas, but it is a bit intimidating because it seems like you need the luxury of a big garage where you can leave your ride bare for a good while
You can also use After Blast if you're leaving the car in bare metal for a while and want to help prevent flash rust: www.eastwood.com/ew-after-blast.html
Eastwood Company I was referring to him wearing his wedding ring. I was waiting for a piece or two of weld splatter to stick to that wedding ring. I heard human meat smells like chicken while cooking
Eastwood Company I thought it was also funny how later on in the video when it shows him welding again, the ring is gone lol! I have an 87 C10 in my garage that I’m doing cab corners on next weekend so I’m gathering as much info as I can and you guys with these videos has helped me out tremendously! Gracias!!
i sprayed this last night with a 1.8 tip shit hardens fast! only mix a pint at a time or else your gonna have half wasted and as soon as its out of the gun clean it instantly i mean within minutes its hard

1963 Impala SS. I need this car very bad.
This is the best way of advertising!
I agree
After the lead was removed from the sail panels, what was the filler used to replace it?
Once you remove the paint and rust from a vehicle, do you have to automictically have to place paint on it or can it be put on at anytime?
Is this the same guy from overhaulin? That show was badass

I saw one of the guys use a da on the body filler when should you use a sanding block and when should you us a da
I will gladly continue to use aerosol cans, haven't had a bird strike yet and bugs,are what gives texture.
I love those cars, remember fellas they’re only original once
Me and 5 of my brothers are auto body techs. It runs in our family
Stroker kits. If I understand stroker kits,they involve a crankshaft with a longer throw,replacing a crankshaft with a shorter throw which brings the top of the piston level with top of the block. now a crankshaft with longer throw will result in the top of the piston going higher than the top of the block. how can I stop this from happening? Thank you.
What is the shelf life of the polyfiller? Is it best to use it all in one session?
No it has a multi-month shelf life as long as the lid is closed again after opening.
Love kevin just a great guy with great knowledge and explains everything very well. I meet him at truck nationals in Carlisle Pennsylvania years ago. Thanks to him I've painted alot of cars for people and painted some of mine. Thank you Kevin for helping me doin auto body

Your vids 're very enlightening and show lots of tricks about what bodyman needs to know. My question is , since sandin' methods vary , do you shoot polyester primer after 80 grit or you go up to 120 ? And does that apply with any brand's poly ? Thnx
+Jimmy Kostas Here's a link to the product instructions with detailed explanations based on what you're painting over. Hope this helps. www.eastwood.com/images/pdf/13522zp_instructions.pdf
Just started on a 1958 Ford F-100.
If the trunk torsion rod gets weak or breaks, how do you plan on that repair?
Great video Kevin. I cant wait to get to this step on Project Overkill. Lots of great info here. It was nice to see all of the guys coming together to work on Zed Sled.

How can I paint copper brother?
Great episode, was nice to see a more tech video this time. Keep'em like this. Mine is still stuck waiting to paint the underside without a rotisserie, but think I'm gonna go with 2x4 stands an working on my back. Is this car getting the flush mount glass, cause might help to test fit trim an moldings now with all those built up edges.
I'm building an '80.....can I borrow your crew?
Same here lol
So I want to see if I'm understanding this process. I feel a little overwhelmed.
So you sand to metal, then fast etch, then wipe off with pre painting prep, then epoxy primer, then use the filler primer, then primer surface, then paint and clear coat? Thank you for any advice.
YOU DON'T SAND TO METAL, IF THE PAINT NOT TO BAD. DOING THAT CAN TURN YOUR CAR TO A RUST MOBILL
ho kevin, I"ve watched the complete series of the zedsled and believe me I've learned alot from you but I have 1 question. I am currently painting my car and using anzal 2k paint. The thisng is I had to spray ondercoat first on some parts of the car since the gray primer is showing. By the way it's a mica red color for the base. I was not able to complete the work on the same day and have to spray base the following day. Do I still have to sand the undercoat before applying base coat or will the paint still adhere after approx.16hrs? Thanks i advance love the zed and nice job really. Keep it up.
Can you contact an Eastwood Tech to discuss in detail - 800-343-9353
hi guys how long does it take to restored a car like that. well how long take you guys?? thanks
This was finished in less than 2 years. Did you see it on the cover of last month's Car Craft Magazine?
Are the body of old cars thicker than new ones?
Yes old cars use 18 new cars use 20
What grits are you using at this point?
every where i look they say to spary epoxy primer on the bare metal then body work then poly for rust reasons? is this correct
Many people prefer to spray epoxy first, then do bodywork on top of it because they believe that could be a problem. Others always do bodywork on the bare metal, then spray epoxy on top of it. If you have that concern, spray the epoxy first. Thanks for watching our videos.
at the tech i graduated from we always did body work on top of metal like you did here just wondered why so many mixed ideas plus i bought one of your guns great buy and great videos
they had cb receiver convertors too
Hi. I need your help this guy is doing my 1971 dodge charger but is putting bondon everywhere in car and he said that he needs 10 galons.is that right?? And I don't think putting so much is right
That does seem excessive. He may want to try spraying a high build primer like Polyester Primer Surfacer: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-polyester-primer-direct-to-metal-surfacer.html
amazing work fellas, but it is a bit intimidating because it seems like you need the luxury of a big garage where you can leave your ride bare for a good while
You can also use After Blast if you're leaving the car in bare metal for a while and want to help prevent flash rust: www.eastwood.com/ew-after-blast.html
What a beautiful car. Love the el Camino version to
wish i had friends to help my tackle my car.

While we can't recommend NOT wearing gloves, some people live life on the edge 🤷♂️
Eastwood Company I was referring to him wearing his wedding ring. I was waiting for a piece or two of weld splatter to stick to that wedding ring. I heard human meat smells like chicken while cooking
Eastwood Company I thought it was also funny how later on in the video when it shows him welding again, the ring is gone lol! I have an 87 C10 in my garage that I’m doing cab corners on next weekend so I’m gathering as much info as I can and you guys with these videos has helped me out tremendously! Gracias!!

11:17 Kevin must of had the fumes going to his head at this point. So great
Did you apply the poly DTM or was the first coat epoxy?
Terrence Humbert Eastwood Epoxy Primer was laid down first.
