all i can say is wow ! if that were my car and i looked into the trunk and saw that overlapped welding crap job that you did. I wood take a sledge hammer too these guys cars and see how they like it ! thats alot to say for american modern , if its new its shit !
You guys fucking suck I'm glad this is not my car
I can't believe you guys over-lap welded! If I did that out here by the sea, the salt and condensation would cause the panel to rust from the inside out within a couple of years! I do butt-welds only!!
You butchard it by not going into the jam or rear light.
If my quater skin came in and had the pillar part i would of done a buttweld at the pilla and replace it as it came .at the pinch welds spot welt and then the section at the pillar
I would not overlap an entire quarter like that much better to but weld it. I don't mind on floors some.
3:20 Gee, you have both side completely open and you ignored a lot of rust- surface rust on associated parts, that are now impossible to address. Why not clean and rust treat everything inside. Rust treating primer is cheap insurance. No matter where Im working on my car, when I open up an area, I throughly inspect and clean, treat, or paint things that need attention.
Way to butcher a car. Glad it isn't mine.
I'm glad I learned to do this kind of work the right way before mud slingers like you had Youtube.
I see lots of these guys, cut the quarters off and do not prep and paint the areas behind the quarters.
Why not take the time to do it right ?? That to me is doing it half ass.
Just saying…
This was a really great video not too long not too short and if anyone noticed left and right guys were doing them in different ways one guy does a butt weld on one and other guy he overlapped the quarter weld it. And if you have a specially rotted car you're forced to go full quarters or you go full quarters cuz you can afford it depends on the car and how much money quarters could start at 200 to almost $1,000 and for the people say hack job would you rather the car just get tossed into the junkyard or get turned into scrap like so many other cars I rather see the car on the road
The beardy guy welds good. The red shirt guy leaves black marks.
where i get cheap quarter panels for my 64 chevelle?
That’s a hack job. What’s your channel? Butcher tv ?
I never flange any quarters I do I've done dozens of quarters by but welding customers loved them all you can't detect it from inside the trunk yes it's a lot more work but much nicer when done
since you didn't use a flange tool to recess the area where the new panel will fit to the old quarter area, will it matter that the metal is actually out farther than originally?
Welder wasn't very tuned up.
Why did you cut off the panel with a grinder vs a plasma cutter?
ha… makin it look so easy. i gotta do this on my z and im not looking foward to it lol. thanks for great info though!
Thanks for the class gentlemen. I'm having to redo a quarter panel I paid someone to install. They must of used a gallon of bondo to cover up their shody work.
prob. weld through primer. Grind each piece you want to weld then spray on the weld through primer and weld. keeps bare metal spots from rusting-hopefully – from within. Hey Paul- time to get an electric cuttoff wheel- more consistent rpms for cutting stuff.
What is the spray @4:00 please ? 🙂
