ВИКТОР ДРАГУНОВ says:

What is this stuff you’re using? Is that zinc spray? And some type of black silicone and rubberized undercoating?

Borja Hoz says:

Just a question,the metal pieces that you usé, are the same thickness,than the original,or Its not so importante?

Гражданин Человек says:

чувак, а кронштейн провода абс куда крепить? или он так и останется висеть на пружине?

steve worth says:

its no surprise they rust so badly with all the double skinned panels there are.

George 674 says:

This video gave me the confidence to do this on my car. I got some pre-made panels though. Got it all cut out today and panels test fitted. Tomorrow I just have to weld it up and put it all back together. Thanks for the video!

beezlebub says:

Nice job as always, wonder what kind of setting you run on the welder? Also what size of wire do you use?

Stein Bauge says:

To think all this is so easy to avoid with Fluid Film or saw chain oil spraying, cavity wax or whatever..

Andrew Newton says:

Most ppl would have weighed it in lol

Tom Mallory says:

Just wondering what sort of thickness your buying your sheet at?

Per B Højlund says:

There is then a video that clearly shows that there is a reason why the training as a sheet metal worker in Denmark takes 3.5 years. I will never make a repair of a beam that way. You are in no way close to making the strength as it was from the factory. the way you make joints time on video 11.58 and 12.10 clearly shows that you are not getting welded properly in the existing beam, for that matter. your entire beam must be made as a u-profile with two bends at the top, and the tip that is welded on must be removed and mounted on the new beam because you hide a lot of rust there. but with sealant and thick body spray it does not look wrong, except that you forgot a hole 13.21

do Na rails rust like this? ive been doing my inner and outer sills that are gone, havent looked at rails yet.. (cars in lockup away from home so cant just go look)

Dexter Jairam says:

What brand metal shears is the blue one you have mounted on the table? I can only find the cheap knock off I would rather purchase a quality one

Murray Paul says:

Brilliant job and you make it look easy.
Took me days to replace mine but you are still inspiring me to finish the whole car…thank you

Mark Collins says:

Great job, at first glance it makes you won't to drive down a dark road pull the tag plates off and leave it on the side of the road.

jake mason says:

The no mask or anything is sketch to me, breathing in all the rust particles and what not

Mikael Flink says:

I wish i was able to leave my car to you =) great work!

We Shall Feast says:

Glad I found your channel

Karen Murray says:

i am never buying a car from the UK ! another great video

Ivan Filipovic says:

Why do NB frame rails rust in first place? Something to do with them being two layer construction trapping moisture? Or just brackets start to rust fast and then everything around them? NA seem to not have this problem…

Shed-Aches says:

Can I ask what thickness of plate did you use for this? I’m setting out tackling mine soon I noticed that originally they’re double skinned, mine don’t look as bad as these on first inspection but that might change when I start, I’ve nearly watched the full series on this so far and it’s given me a good insight into what to expect so thanks

bazer wazer says:

You continue to astonish. Take a bow!

BioExtract says:

What a gem this channel is. So many people would look at a vehicle like this and never even think of touching it, which always bugs me. What will become of all of our old favorite classic cars if we junk every rusted frame? You actually show us how to solve this problem and make our cars theoretically last forever so THANK you!
