Hi Benjamin, From memory, this probably took 2 to 3 hours. Thanks for your question. Eddie

Hi Connor, the joint was finished off with bodyfiller. Eddie

@@paneljigman thanks for the reply

Hi Malik, thank you for your kind comment. Eddie.

Hi Jasaba, Thanks for the kind comment. Eddie

Thank you for your kind comment.Eddie

Hi Alistair, If you have, or can borrow a pin gun like the one shown in the video, then you could fix this at home. Failing that, maybe you could carry out the preparation work and pay a local bodyshop to pull the panel out so you could finish it at home. I know it can be difficult to justify the cost of specialist kit just for one repair. Eddie

Hi Jack, thank you for your kind comment. Eddie

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I'm gad you liked the video. Eddie

Hi Ben, sorry for the late reply. I did not use a backing plate for this job. I know some people prefer to use them, but I prefer not to unless a car manufacturer insists on it. Some do and some don't. Thanks for the comment. Eddie

Thank you for your kind comment. Eddie

Hi Asa, thank you for your kind comment. Eddie

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. There are several different methods for joining panels, each method has its benefits or disadvantages, this video just shows one of many methods that many car makers recommend. Eddie

Wouldn't you have to use a crapload of filler to hide the overlapping "seam" after the repair?

Thank you for your kind comment. To be honest, any good bodyshop should be capable of producing a similar standard of repair. Eddie

Thank you for your comment, glad you liked the video. Eddie

Hi David, thanks for your comment. As long as there are no pinholes in the weld there should be no problem with water causing the paintwork to bubble. I have never had this occur in any welded joint. \eddie

paneljigman , use a fiberglass based filler. It is waterproof. Tom

Hi Dusty, I have no personal experience of using a 110v mig, but I would expect a good quality machine to cope with Mustang panel metal with no problems. Eddie

Thank you, I appreciate your opinion on that!

Yes, i use 110V Lincoln welder for all my body work. You're not welding structural steel building! Lol Even a 110V welder will blow holes through your sheet metal, if your set up inst right

Hi Martin, thanks for your comment. Here in the U.K. professional repairers are required to follow car makers preferred methods when repairing their products. Most car makers insist on m.i.g./m.a.g. welding when replacing 1/4 panels. Eddie

Hi Clinton, The air saw shown in the video should be widely available at any air tool supplier. If you can't find one locally, there are plenty on the net. Eddie

Your information is not helpful, but thanks.

Hi Yota, thank you for the kind comment. Eddie

Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you liked the video. Eddie

Ya, definitely leave a small gap when butt welding. If not, you'll raise the chances of warpage

Thanks for your comment.Actually I have never used a tig welder, and most car makers still require this type of joint to be mig welded. Eddie

His name implies he is a panel beater so he demonstrated panel beating from start to finish. Job completed. When you look at a painting video they don't show you panel beating but you wouldn't say you were shortchanged would you?

It tells you the video is about panel beating only not panel beating and painting.

Thanks for your comment.The correct method to use for this type of job is the method the car manufacturer approves. If the manufacturer says bonding or rivet bonding should be used, then that's the way to go. Many car manufacturers still prefer spot welding. Eddie

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad the video was of help. Eddie.

I would call a pin gun, although other people might know it by various other names. Eddie

Kam layer filler worked?(Thank you) What is the number of paper used in sanding **p ...........?

Hi, thanks for your comment. I tend to prefer 80 grit to start with, to get the basic shape, and finish off with 180 'freecut' paper. Eddie

Kam layer filler worked?(Thank you)

Kam layer filler worked?(Thank you)

I have never actually heard of such a machine. Eddie.

Pawel Socha can you make a video on this?

Thank you, that helped a lot in my repair! will share..use brazing not MIG on car repairs!

Cu si weld is preferred by some people and for a brief time recommended by manufacterers. Nowadays you see it less and less. Copperwelding is an art of its own and has a bigger startup temp and more difficult heat control. Not something for the average guy. Mig/mag welding is fine, you have spray the inside with an anti rustcorrosion anyway. The bondo on the outside has a anticorrosoin function also. After that its prime and painted. Burning the zinklayer is something you can't avoid

Thank you for your kind comment. Eddie

tom thompson filler is always needed no matter what

lead it and be done ,,,, very rare i reach for filler ,,, just a body file , ah , how times change ,,, great result to a modern standard.

Filler allows a straighter surface and better paint finish ultimately. Look at any full metal body car next to a filled and blocked vehicle and i guarentee the bogged vehicle is straighter

Thanks for your comment. You are right, but the purpose of the video is to demonstrate the process of replacing a quarter panel. Eddie

Thanks for your reply, Eddie. What is your website address please? I've tried perfectpanelwork.co.uk, but when i try to navigate to it, i get an error message. Many thanks, Joe

HI Joe, the website is offline due me having closed my workshop, I had forgotten about this video. If you e mail me at autobodyservices@perfectpanelwork.co.uk and let me know what you are interested in, i'll see if I have any discs left to send out. Eddie

Hi Lee, thanks for your kind comment . Eddie
