Zero Dollar Rust Repair! - Body Panels Made From SCRAP METAL - Budget Biscayne
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Every old car needs some sort of rust repair. Metal work is one of the most expensive and time consuming parts of any build. Being able to cut and grind will save you a fortune! Going 1 step further and fabricating your own patch panels is the ultimate way to save money and be self sufficient.
In todays climate, the cost and availability of these replacement parts have become expensive and scarce. Grab your grinder, hammer and some scrap steel then start making your own replacement panels!

Any day someone fixes on an old car is a good day and if you can do it for zero dollars it's an even better day!😊👍 Keep those Gems on the road! Great video!
Well said
Cool job !Inspiring me to cut and fuck around with mine!Cheers Geezer
2 door--YES-YES-YES!!!!!!
Some of the most rewarding viewing is watching Dan making, and fitting these patch panels.
Check out Carter Auto restyling.
I'm with you
Amazing how comfortable you are doing this work. Looking forward to the next phase, 2-door conversion!! Cheers!!
Ya buddy!!!!! Glad you're doing the 2 door!
You really made me smile today. Most folks time laps the process or just shows you before and after, but not you... Loved it! What made me smile was remembering working on old cars over 40 years ago. We didn't have zip cutters or mig/tig welders. Hell, plastic filler was new back then! Just wanted you to know just how easy it is now a days to fix up that old heap of yours. Love your channel and thanks for the memories.
You are back in the groove, Dan. I live to watch you do metal work, so I don't have to go out and do metal work.
You are a damm good teacher the way you do. People understand your videos
2 door for the win!!!
1967 I worked in a Ford garage, I remember seeing a local car that I never forgot. A red 65 Biscayne two door post, front end was cranked up, probably with twist in spacers it was a 396 with a three on the tree, loved that car.
This is going to be a good 1 Dan 👍 I still think that you should show it with 3 doors lol would make a great video getting the look on people's faces when they catch it
A three door would be so epic 😅😃😎😎
Hooray!!!!!! One 2 door Chebbie comin up!!!!
Can't wait to see the 2-door version!
0 dollars for metal your time 0 dollars 25 dollars for little bit of Argon Solid patch panel priceless. Looks good to me. the pie cut you made and swooping up toward bumper made all the difference.
Liking the 2 door conversion idea. Stripper Biscayne 2 door with a big block. Yes please
I'm just going on a little D D Speed Shop video wormhole here and I'm enjoying every second of it.
Dan the machine never stops
I cannot believe you do not have more subscribers. I enjoy all of your content and I learn something every time I watch a video. Only thing I could suggest for your videos is maybe a little more affection thrown Dani's way. Take care of your home..................
I'm doing a 90's Jimmy for a guy at work. True Michigan rustbucket renovation. He gave me old washing machine metal to create patch panels with. Additionally gave me 2 fenders fron 2 completely different vehicles to cut from to patch the wheel wells and lower panels. It took a lot of work, but it looks really good now. Not factory. But pretty darn good.
That's how you work on no budget
yeah do the two door for sure
Time to start a 2nd channel- DD Body shop.
I have mid 50s versions of that tool. ;-)
Well you made that look pretty easy Dan. I wish I had your same confidence. Thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one
I hadn't done this stuff before recently either. You just start in and do it and you realize how fun and easy it is! Way easier than you'd suspect. Very time consuming though, so you better enjoy it. All it takes is just cutting out a section and tacking a new one in and your confidence will suddenly go right through the roof and the next thing you know, you're patching every rust spot you can find and loving every minute of it. You just have to start. It's all it takes.
Yes ! Definitely want to see the two door conversion. There's actually still a fair amount of four doors to be found down here in the states , and there a bit cheaper and generally less beat.
Fitzee would be impressed with your methods
Can’t wait to see the two door conversation.
Well, Dan I see you doing your favorite thing, body work. I just think that you show anyone that it just depends on how much you want to put in to the repair how it will turn out. You do a great job of explaining how you are going about it and what you how to achieve in the end. Thanks so much for sharing. Can't wait for the two door conversion. Have a great day 👋
My '1970 knee Bender is kinda worn out from when I was younger breaking sticks and limbs over it. It'll catch up with you when your older.
Solid work Dan. looking forward to the 2-door conversion, that will be awesome.
Watching you patch panels is what gave me confidence to patch my floor and honestly came out great.
Thanks Dan I need all your motivation
Always a bonus when you can use metal from previous projects. I've got a corner of my garage filled with off cuts for this purpose.
Panels have become quite a bit more expensive over the past few years gotta save where ya can. Nice work!
Awesome Dan, excited to see the conversion.
Quarter panel patch came out nice. Thanks for the quality content!
Lol. :) Thank you for sparing me months of therapy and counseling by painting the metal first, 😆, I love it man, hahaha!
Built not bought!!!!!! This is awesome content...
Excited about another 2 door conversion
It would be easier an different an probably look cool To use the two door doors an shorten the back doors an shave the back door handles .Be some little back doors lol An it might look good being flat black an tint the windows.. Just thought I put my ideas in the comments ..
You're channeling your inner Fitzee.....
Awesome videos you do what has to be done without over complicating people think everything has to be perfect and so don't do anything at all keep these great cars on the road great job
love your work and low budget way. I know a guy that cut up an old washing machine and made floor panels for his project. I love low buck because it is so creative.
That's funny, I just did the same thing because that's what I was given to fix the vehicle😂
Looking good, new metal for old . Rock that Impala
Looks awesome from my house Dan. Lol Another good video, as usual. Simple yet functional. Better than rust holes for sure. Totally enjoy the channel Dan. Always makes me look forward to the next video. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gotta love when that paint on the inside catches on fire 😄
Your metal work is the best. (Pure Butchery at its finest) and that is a compliment. Love it !keep up the good work. I especially like your metal bender. I can't wait to see you turn this baby into a two door.
I had a 1969 VW Standard. The package tray and firewall were Swiss cheese. You could push your finger through either one, and it was like paper. Anyways, I used steel shelving I had salvaged when the shop I worked at was demo-ing a storage area. It was heavier gauge than the VW sheet metal, and it worked a treat.
Can't wait to see how the two door conversion looks, I think it will be awesome.
Dan, I think that you and Scott from Cold War Motors should get together and do a build.
You have chosen the right path
This thing will be worth a pretty penny when you turn it into a 2 door it will be a very desirable car You really do excellent work Dan
Very cool Dan, love the2 door conversation.👍👍👍
Man this is one I was hoping would stay a 4 door. I had an old 4 door nova and loved it so much. Miss that car more than anything. 4 doors get no love
That's because sedans are lame. Coupes are cool. classic hot rodding 101. Just the way it is. 4 door cars are family cars dude. Always have been, always will be.
Didn’t shout loud enough doing a 2-door conversion
🤣🤣 thats why we didn’t shout! Can’t wait !
Back before RUclips I always wanted to turn my first car, a 67 coronet, into a two door.
I didn’t even know where to start, no welder, no mentors, I wish I could get that one back now.
There's no doubt in my mind you can do it. But this was an awesome video very informative and direct hands on instruction. You're years of experience and just plain doing it definitely show.
Dan, thanks for the video, I’ve had a rough week and this made my day.
GOOD MORNING GUYS YOUR SHOW MADE ME MOVE BACK HOME START WORKING ON ALL MY OLD CARS AN BIKES
AWESOME MY 1978 OLDSMOBILE CUTTLAS SUPREME AN 1996 CADILLAC ELDORADO ETC MY
1953 PONTIAC PLUS few
OLD HONDA MOTCYCLES GOT THEM ALL GOING LOOKING AT REBUILDING THE OLD'S INTO SOMETHING FAST AN REALLY CLASSIC BUT SUSPENSION top of list
THANKS DAN KEEP SMASHING IT
You give hope to new car restorators...Great job!
FWIW- I had a '69 Biscayne and L60-15s fit nicely inside the rear wheelwells.
Flair out the wheel wells
I’m sure it’s a little worn out by now. 😀
Get you some magnets to hold that stuff and free up a hand. You show tons of people that don't be afraid to tackle this stuff at home. Only thing to it , is to do it.
Perfect no. Much better.......Yeah!!!!! Good repair, Dan.
Also, one thing I love about this vintage or 3-4 years earlier, is that the wagons came with manual trans 283s and up and notched front bench seat for the tall floor shifter.
Surely the question should be who doesn't want to see Dan do another 2 door conversion. Please proceed Sir!
Always come back for the butchery!
Your videos are incredible. You've really developed skills over the years. Enjoyed following along for quite awhile,finally just saying Thanks for the great videos. I love Biscaynes , I once owned a beautiful 2 door 62. I had to part with it,no room to store it safely. Had to choose my 67 Malibu convertible above it. There's something too awesome about Biscaynes.
Thank you so much...Budget build, is exactly what my daughter and I are lining up.... "subscribe" ''Click"" engaged
The first comment I made was how long before the two door conversion lol, I'm very glad you're doing it brother and i know you're gonna make it look awesome 👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅
I have some of those free metal repairs on mine. I knew you couldn’t resist a challenge, 2 dr away!!!
Great video. It's how I did the quarters on my 62 Comet. But only because they don t exist. Turned out ok. Nothing a bit of Bondo can't fix.
I'm literally making a video doing the same thing right now. fixing rusty rockers with rusty rockers for free. stopped for a break and your video was the first one to pop up.
Definitely better than buying quarter panels. And free is always in the budget! Thank you for sharing Dan !
Convert it . Can't wait to see it!
Dan you make it look easy. Inspiring.
Awesome 😀👍🏻 it's your project so you can do what you want to it 😀👍🏽😂
We are spoiled out here in AZ, where rust is very minimal, and panels are rarely replaced. My 64’ Chevelle project has very little rust and I complain about fixing it lol.
It wouldn't be DDSpeedshop if you went and spent all your money on shiny stuff that doesn't make the car any better. Keep doing what you do. It looks way better than it did.
My way of thinking is why spend hundreds or thousands of dollars when you can make it yourself!
Looking great on the biscayne project
should have gander at fritz,s fabrication on doing patch panels easy breazy
I agree, Fritz rocks
Yea man thats gunna be a mean 2 door with the big block. They go for big money when a factory race car. Someones gunna get a nice toy. Im looking forward to the sound of those headers. Good one Dan!
Patch panels welded in like this or whole panels replaced, the end results are the exact same once filler goes on. The only reason you'd buy replacement panels is when time is money or there isn't enough panel worth saving. It will take many more hours of filler work, this is why today, the body shops just replace whole panels. Time is money. This is repair will be exactly, just as good in the end, after filler is all flat and once she's in primer. This is how I repaired my '68 t-bird. She looks like new again. Will probably last longer than the original paint and body work at this point, as the car will be cared for, far better than when it was just another car on the road of it's time.
Hey man your the king of 2 door conversions, i say do it, itll look way better afterwards
Good job dan that's the way I do it to. It just takes a little time. But you will get this is why you are getting more followers because alot of people doing the same way me and you do it. We don't have alot of money for high dollar tools we make it work. That's why people loves your work. A poor man way that's kool as hell dan red Winstead from Mississippi. Love your videos
Nice, two door. Gonna make the old man mobile into something cool.
Buy the patch pane for the wheel arch. The fender patchers were low budget perfection.
Turn that crew cab ito a 2 door.
Great episode! Thanks for the tips, looking forward to the rest of the changes. Cheers.
Go for the 2 door conversion. I'd like this car so much more as a two door!
Whoo hoo! Sheet metal diy... good work!
I agree with this method of metal repair.
I hold my pieces together with magnets. Oldest trick in the book.
Good one neighbor. Steve in Texas.
Dan, 2 door qtr skins might be a better way to go. It would take care of the rust and welding in the back doors. They might not be that expensive.
I just love how you make things work .thumbs up for the both of you.
You make it look easy.
I watch for the 2 dr converts ...Yes Yes all the way
My friend John always recycles used water heater tanks for quarter panel repair metal. I always laugh at him, but they turn out looking great. Whatever you have around will work for a repair.
old appliance sheet metal also works swell, washer, dryers fridge, window AC
You make it look easy:)
Nice job on the patch for the old chevy
Yes please! A two door conversion sounds perfect!
