Using a section of the old trunk to repair the corner, was a great idea... it already had the profile and you didn’t have to bend up a new piece... I’ve never done anything with a Tig welder,, Can you control the heat better on thin sheet metal ?? Anyway,, keep up the good work my friend,, looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos....
Yes sir, I was blessed to come across that rusty old trunk to use for pieces. And on the tig, yes, you can control the heat better if you know what you are doing. Its a softer weld than a mig, so its easier to hammer and work. That's one main advantage.
That turned out really nice there Phillip, going to look like it was there all along! I’m fairly new to your channel so I don’t know if you’ve ever done a garage tour of your shop of the other cars and engines and the other cool stuff you have? Looking forward to hearing that flathead run!
Hey, thanks for watching! I haven't really talked a lot about my other stuff too much. I have briefly mentioned them. Maybe I should do a shop tour, that would be cool.
Hey ya got this it's metal seminar to work with not like the junk they got now adays just saying looookin fine ya got me beat mine have to do same or worse so learning on plasma thing man it cuts awesome opps to far go back ha ha learning process thks for sharing learning as we go how long been working on the beast ?
I use a plasma cutter sometimes. It works good, but it is not as precise as other cutting tools. We all learn as we go. That is the best way. I've been working on this car for about a year and a half as time permits.
@Phillip's Hot Rod Garage mine over ten yrs 3 heart attacks gallbladder removal and shoulder surgery too been trying too slow me down rest when lm dead got 4 other vehicles on the go plus shop roofs too doo house to maintain life is good and helpful wiffee on the side helps lots keep plugging away
Can’t throw anything out until you’re absolutely 100% done with the project
That’s exactly right.
Your trunk lid coming along --- will be watching for the up-coming Flathead --- Thank You --- Rodney

Trunk is never ending. But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
There will be an end to this trunk... I'm finally making some good progress and headed in the right direction.
Nice recap on the project...trunklid is coming along nicely.
