Joe Hottinger was the original Fat Daddy. He passed away this past January 30th 2023. We miss his great sense of humor and the relationship that we had with him that was not only as a father but also as a friend and role model. All in which we feel that this video and blooper reel shows. Love ya old man.

Brilliant. Just exactly what l needed to see.
Oops. Used a punch and now have small craters. I'll grind them smooth before installing new race.
Is that mechanical fuel pump
I'm using. 025? And following the settings by the lid instructions. Next is my trunk box corner thing/then the skin. Never say u make your final cut.
yeah hey nice job,,those harbor fright clamps,,watching you install them, was quite interesting,,,I'm about to start the same thing on my 73,,but was curious on how you installed the clamps,,because there's a little square block that's needed to be installed on the back of the clamp,,wasn't shore how to install them,,if you had more information, on how to do that,,it would be great,,tks..
Would you still be able to do the same quality work with a flux core mig machine I have or just go ahead and buy a gas mig welding machine setup?
It's possible to use flux core but I wouldn't recommend it. You will have much better results using a mig with gas.
The car's sound itself is the sweetest music you can buy for under a 100k dollars. Its makes its own music. Don't need a radio.
Great vid
What brand of seam sealer did you use? Is it transtar 4164 ?
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, it is the 4164.
Nice build.
Nice job what grinding disc is that? i am blowin threw rotloc discs..
We use Walter cut off wheels, grinding wheels, flap disks etc. In our experience they outperform and most importantly outlast most anything you'll get at a hardware store or Lowes. Well worth the extra expense.
That was a great video and you presented the process well. Makes me feel like I could do this myself. My ears hurt for you while I watched you cutting the panel with no ear plugs, I have been there...
good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside cavity- hidden erea - instead of using paint before reclosing), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france
Beautiful Challenger you've got there! I enjoyed looking at it when it was on the lift earlier this summer. I'm the guy who bought the mustang quarter panel from you.
Thanks man. I really appreciate it.
Coolest car ever made.
Im in the Atlanta area, 71 impala needs this job. Any body close? That can do the work
You make scoop functional?
Yes it's a functional scoop
I like the way you explained everything you do helps out alot keep doing what your doing you do good work thank you God bless you
So, you didn't show it, but did you put the new skin against old panel and trace a line to cut the old panel out? I prefer to butt weld like you did in this video, but unsure how much gap I should create between the new and old skin and how to get the gap. t. Do you just run the cut off wheel along the new skin using a thin cutting wheel or draw a line and cut using an offset you are used to? BTW, nice prof work there.
Thanks. I actually trace it a couple of times. The first time I cut about an away from the line and remove the metal from around the lip of the wheel well and anywhere else. Then I put it back up and trace around it again to see if the line has changed. It usually does. Then i cut close to the line the next time. About 1/4 away. I put it up one more time and see if it has changed. If not, I cut right on the line. I put it up for the last time and trim any spots that are overlapping while it's on there. You want your gap to be about the thickness of your cutting wheel. About a 1/16 of an inch. I hope this answers your question and helps you out.
Great job
Pleasure meeting you last weekend. Thanks for pointers. I guess i'll tackle this job myself now!
Brilliant 👏
I own them and never knew how to use. Looked at them puzzled. Then pit them aside and forgot about the things. No instructions came with them. Blue spot why cant you just include instructions? Anyway now I see and im amazed. Easy. Thanks
Bro great job and to the point
Super idea.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dude you have ZERO imagination..😂
Dude dont you EVER do burnouts or bang some gears???? ****yawn****
We don't usually perform burnouts or bang shifts in a customer's car unless what we are testing specifically warrants it. Please, by all means feel free to drop your ride off at the shop. With your permission, we will put on show as spectacular as the performance limits of your car allows.
@Fat Daddies Hot Rods ....I neglected to listen closely enough to your videos introduction....the vehicle wasn't your car as it was a customer's car...I apologise for my haste to write a reply....
Love the sound of the M22!!!!...the rest of the video was ****yawn**** X1000...
Good job
Sorry for you loss man. He seemed awesome.
Love this video! What is the matte paint you are using? I am assuming it isn't primer. Thanks!
It's just flat black Rust-Oleum. It covers pretty good. The cans are hit and miss on how they spray though. Some of them like to clog halfway through the can. I've also used John Deere Blitz Black, which I actually like better but the dry time isn't quite as fast.
@@fatdaddieshotrods that is awesome - thanks for the reply! The last guy replaced the quarters this 72 cutlass but skipped the outer wheelhouses for some reason. Should I cut the quarters to get at the wheelhouses, or try and replace them as-is? Love the channel!
Just replaced the outer wheel well today and it was giving me a fight on fitment. Hopefully the quarter panel lines up.
I wouldn't put my spare keys in the false filler neck...that's one of the first places investigated by a thief...you may as well hand them the keys...
Thank you so much. I have a 1970 c10. Do you have suggestions for a rear fill (behind tailgate) tank suggestion?
did you add any filler to your weld line or did it come out fairly smooth?
I had to use filler but it's a minimal amount. Nothing deeper than the manufacturers suggested max.
Nice demo 👍🏻…. It’s the best way to do it , no doubt
Thanks for the ride-a-long. Well done. Great camera angles. Didn't see that flapper door open too much. Looked for the details on this car, but couldn't find it. Wish I had it. Hope you got what you needed.
You put that quarter panel perfectly, great job
Great commentary
Music? So stupid.
Nice TA! Kill the music man!
We also posted it without the music.
Whats a price on one of those
We don't give out info on how much money our customers get into their cars, but it's a pretty penny.
Thanks for posting. Did you swap the entire brake assembly from the backing plate forward and the 14 bolt hubs & drums?
yeah, seems like Bull$hit,,how do you install on a quarter panel if you can't reach the back BECAUSE IT'S A QURTER PANEL..???
I use these on every quarter panel I install. I don't have a problem getting them across the entire quarter. Sometimes it takes two people to do it but it can be done.
Nice job! Whats your procedure for getting the panel to fit tight. Do you just trace it and then cut it out or I see some people lay the new panel over the old and then cut it.
In short, I hold the panel in place with the help of c clamps wherever i can use them. I trace the panel and then take it back off. I then cut two to three inches outside of the line. I then put the panel back on and use self taking screws to screw it on about an inch inside of the panel. This helps pull everything together so the next line is a accurate as possible. After that I'll either pull the panel off and cut the line or leave it on and cut around the edge of the panel. It really just depends on which is easier for the panel. If you leave it on just try and keep your cutoff wheel as straight to the panel as possible. If you angle it to much you will cut a bigger gap and make it more of a pain to weld. Hope this helps.
@@fatdaddieshotrods thanks! That does help.
Awesome..love seeing the functional shaker hood at work
Looked like you did that in one evening. So how about stop by for dinner and do that to my 65 Nova ..... um, X2 LOL That was some good work.
Helpful video!! Will that tank work with fuel injection? Also how many gallons does it hold?
Sweet truck
Thanks for that link. Trying to hunt down parts for fuel filler options is crazy difficult.
