    For a guy who claims limited metal working ability . You did a great job, the window was a tough place to fix, nice tinkering !!

    Wow, a pretty straight forward bit of fab on the tail made such an impressive help to the appearance of that end! Now........the driver side rear window patch/patches really was a tedious animal that would try the patience of several panel beaters! You certainly are among those that can figure out exactly all of the details and have the skills and the patience to make it happen! Great job Mike! Thanks and all the best to you and Alli!

    • @ThisOldHotrod
      @ThisOldHotrod  Год назад +1

      I thought so too. It was a heck of a lot easier than shrinking and wheeling a new one. Thank you for the kind words. It took some time, I’m extremely happy how it came out and I enjoy the process of figuring things out.
      I want to get better.

    Great video my friend! You may not be a professional fabricator , but your doing what every project builder with building their own ways to accomplish to learn by mistake and redoing it to get right! Don't worry cause your doing great with getting it done, and that's what counts in my world!

    Enjoyed seeing the thought process. The progression in simplifying the patch to something one can accomplish in the home garage was excellent. Not everyone has a Pullmax and customs set of dies to stamp that piece out. Well done!

    I think you're doing an amazing job with a pile of tin ya started with. Every video adds more value and more of a complete car.
    I'm looking at a used piece of equipment that rolls, bends, and cuts sheet metal. I just don't have the room for them separately. My family thinks I've lost my mind. We'll have the tools a long time and hopefully I'll be here to teach my grandsons how to usethem

    Hi ya Mick what i do to stop my Glasses misting up when you have a mask on is a the same stuff for when your riding your MOTORCYCLE this stops your glassed or visor from misting up it works real good when you put a mask on for working on the Rod its called Muc-off Premum Anti-Fog Treatment. Basically its a spray you use on your glasses works for me each day i work i give them a spray it does not damage your glasses . Well worth using this sort of product so you can work and see what your doing...keep up the good work bud, your mate here in the UK.
