Have a peek at "Halfass Kustoms" his metal work techniques have spectacular results. Just horse sense in his step by step approach.
Good to see you back on the truck!!!
I like this truck, you're doing a great job, thanks for bringing it back.
To see this project revisited is Christmas come early! There's something so satisfying about watching you replicate/replace each panel one piece at a time. This truck is going to look great when finished. So glad you are giving the metal work another shot for sure looks challenging, well excited for more updates keep up the awesome content.
I consulted with my college body shop professor and the plan for my car is to paint epoxy primer onto the body BEFORE applying filler. That's what I have done to my car.
Give Ron Covell a follow. Probably one of the best sheet metal workers in the world. He has great videos with simple solutions for complex problems.
As a few others have said, I'm jealous! What a great project. Don't be so hard on yourself, the way you've been hand fabricating those replacement panels is impressive. Keep up the great work! Didn't even realize till a short time ago that this was recent. I was following along from the two year old clips. Nice to see you working on it again.
POR will apply directly to and over existing rust and turn it into a tough epoxy coating.
Been a long time coming for sure! I would redo that radius at the front of the front wheel opening, since it doesn't look like too much work, but I'm pretty OCD.
I would try to coat that rust with POR 15 or something similar. It is a two part epoxy coating that will seal it all up. It’s some good stuff. I be;Ivette magnet paint chassis is very similar if not the same.
I cannot believe how good this channel is. I am trying to heal from an upper back operation I had 29 days ago. The doc says 6 weeks of basically doing nothing and it should be fully healed. So I stumbled across this show. I have been watching it half the night until I fall asleep.
Hey Darren, very well done. If you’re interested in some great tips and techniques from an experienced bodyman, check out Fitzee’s Fabrication. He’s a fellow Canadian with great content on his channel for tackling challenging patches such as the ones you are working on. Keep up the great work!
I really love these trucks. Hard to find these days. I would love to watch more on this truck. Please put more video of you working on it. Thankyou sir.
It wasn't forgotten! I've anxiously awaited your return to this old gem.
Got your finger a little too close to the air cut-off wheel. I do that, get too comfortable, and end up loosing a swipe of skin. Be careful.
Hi . you have a mig welder, make that part in two pieces
I had an Econoline p/u when I was in the service. It had a 413 dodge in the back. Oh what a ride!!!
Need to paint like the old model Little Red Wagon that's what it reminds me of
Take a look at half-ass kustums or bad Chad. They work wonders with sheet metal and a body hammer.
Use masking tape to mark lines, check out “Bad Chad” ! Lookin good ❤️✅ …oh yeah I would like to see the shop, is it different, looks bigger
you are good , musti but good.
Just wanted to say I think you did a great job on this reconstruction. Thanks for sharing your videos.
You’ve got a really nice metal brake and sheet metal forming equipment and have done a great job of forming new panels for the old Ford! I continue to be amazed at your mechanical versatility.! We look forward to your continuing work on this project and all the new, yet to be discovered projects!
