"I hope you enjoyed this...." Yes. I do. I don't know why but. Joined your channel about a year ago to take on some repairs. I haven't stopped enjoying it yet!
That's funny - that's how I end every single video. I'm glad you enjoy the content my friend - have a good weekend :)
Great video a hands on example of a pro who does the job and make it look easy. Thanks
You're welcome Joe - thanks for checking it out 👍😊
Great straight forward repair Jerry ! I like how you show how this can be done with simple tools.
Keeping it simple is usually the best method for almost anything. I guess everything is simple if you know it - even programing a video game 🥴
👍🏻Fixing up a classic is always a challenge, but it’s the reward in the end that I enjoy the most!
I'm really looking forward to driving a stick shift V8 - been looking for one for quite some time.
Great job Jerry! You are going to have a fun car when you're finished.
I'll send you some pictures of the dash board - just finished it. Hope all is well Tom - have a great week.
Good job Jerry! Straight forward to the point. Nice when a structural panel can be repaired with a patch. I wasn't that lucky but heck the inner rockers I have now are new.
Those will last you a long time - thanks for checking it out 👍😊
Hey Jerry nice job. I have said it before you are a true master at your profession. Great job.
Thanks Lantz - I appreciate the kind words - have a great weekend :)
@@LakesideAutobody you as well
Now this the type of how to do video's we need JERRY MY MAN. Simple straight forward no bull and the brief explanation on the miller 90 settings was an appreciated touch. Nice to see you mig welding with that little miller work horse. I get my metal welding done with my little lincoln mig 140. Thanks for listening !!
You're welcome - nothing beats the simplicity of a Miller or Lincoln - two knobs and they just work. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend my friend 👍
another great one, thanks Jerry
You're welcome PVC - thanks for checking it out :)
Looking Good Bud!!☻
Thanks 👍RK - have a good week my friend - thanks for checking it out 😊
You make it look so easy.😊
Thanks for watching Robert - have a good weekend my friend :)
Nice fit on the patch Jerry. Those old cars sure test your skills and patience. Have a great weekend
Rust in the weirdest areas on this car. Not sure why it rusted right there - none on the floor but on the side - like someone was wearing salty boots or maybe the water sprayed up in there from the front tires :)
I needed this, another great video for a 1994 camaro v6 doit yourselfer
Glad it helped out - 94 Camaro is a good looking car 👍😊
As always a short no nonsense demonstration of how to do it right, thanks jerry 👍
You're welcome Zubey 👍
Nice work is always my friend!!
Thanks 👍😊
Great video here Jerry I love the way you show people that they could get it done nice and simple just takes time to clean up and get rid of the old and Burn in the new I can't wait to see this car done I wish I was closer to you so we can play car's take care my hero
Thanks for checking it out. I wish we were closer too my friend - would be real cool. I have the dash and engine in - not started yet. Need gas tank, lines, brakes and a few other things yet. Would love for you to see this dash board - AMC designed a pretty good looking dash for the year. Have a good weekend Luis 👍😊
@@LakesideAutobody send me photos of the dash if you can
Great job. I will try this on my 1968 Ford mustang.
Feel free to ask any ?s :)
Great job as always. Even recognized the maxwell House coffee lid!!!
That is a Maxell H lid - good eye 👍😊
You do make it look easy 😅
Thanks Joe - enjoy the weekend 👍😊
Excellent as always...
Thank you so much 😀
One of the best teachers out there 👍
Keep em comming Jerry 🍻
Thanks for the kind words HKR - I'll try. Have a great weekend my friend. You've been watchin' or quite some time now - I appreciate that :)
good job
Thanks 👍😊
my favorite channel
Thanks my friend - have a good weekend :)
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with everyone
You're welcome Robert - thanks for watching and enjoy the weekend :)
I like using 18 gauge for welding with flux core on autobody work. Last summer I restored two fenders for a friend's 57 GMC 630 restoration project.
18 gauge will last a heck of a long time - that's for sure :)
@@LakesideAutobody The original sheet metal was either 14 or 16 gauge. My friend supplied the new sheet metal.
Nice repair Jerry....looks nice and tight.. Have a great weekend.
Thank MN - you too. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you brother good video 👍👍👍👍
You're welcome - have a great weekend :)
No fancy brake for you, just a work bench and a big metal bar
👍 - Thanks for checking it out Bruce - have a good weekend my long time friend :)
Man, this is a skill I wish I had. Looking at my rusty wheel wells.
It's in you - ua-cam.com/video/1BYqLM_mY1s/v-deo.html Here's a cheap welder that works fine too - ua-cam.com/video/qKTdOQizKbE/v-deo.html
I'm going to be doing my inner and outer rocker panels. Wish me luck
Feel free to ask any ?s as you go. Good luck - I'm sure they'll turn out fine - just take your time on each step 👍
Is that amount of welding and 18 gauge steel structurally sufficient for repairing the pinch weld seam on a unibody Ford Contour. I need to replace a 24" section in the rear jack point zone where the bottom 2 inches of the inner panel, mid-support and rocker are totally rotted. Above that the metal looks new, still factory painted. Question I have is does lap welding give a repair that can support the car with a jack? Your videos are terrific. Best ones on Tube. The content you show answers so many questions that DIY folks have.
Lap welding is more than enough. One thing to keep in mind is that all welds in a new car are lap welds - plug type or lap. There are no butt welds in a car or truck. In your case I would put the welds about 1/2" apart or even right next to each other if you are still concerned :)
Nice work on the panel replacement. Was that galvanized metal or plain steel you made the panel from?
You've got a good eye. Galvanized, but I ground the coating off the edge first. Had some laying around so....
Nice little video good job is that on the AMX
Thanks Brad - enjoy the weekend :)
What do you think of import self darkening welding helmets? Are they safe? Thank you for the video. Enjoy your weekend!
Yes - they're safe. I do think all are made in China actually. You have a good weekend too my friend.
Hell yeah first comment and in the first 10 views. Good work Jerry
Nice!! Have a good weekend my friend 😊
This guy knows his 💩
Thanks - thanks for checking it out 👍😊
So you don't need to fully weld in these area
You can if you want but it is not necessary. You're fine with them about 1 inch apart. 4-5 is all that is needed on a pull plate when pulling frames, unibody structure, etc.
What about the rust on the outside panel after you cut out the one you patched? Will you be addressing that from the exterior side? Curious because I have similar thing going on
Absolutely - I'll be doing vids on that. Meantime here's a video that may help with that - ua-cam.com/video/2vEPQimW564/v-deo.html & preventing future rust - ua-cam.com/video/8XaZBy7GC7A/v-deo.html
I'm always on the fence about fully welding a patch panel in areas where it won't be visible and it will be seam sealed. Some people weld all the way around and leave no gaps and some do what you did in this video which is perfectly fine and structurally safe. I'm not sure how insurance companies asses these type of jobs and what they would pay if this was an insurance job. Either way, the repair works, do you have any plans on treating the rust in the rockers?
I found that making sure the panel can drain and dry out inside is the number one thing you can do. Then this - ua-cam.com/video/8XaZBy7GC7A/v-deo.html
No non sense , getter done , great repair ! …..
Thanks LCPD - enjoy the weekend my friend :)
Not welding all the way around the repair panel is not a good repair in my opinion. And here in the UK, that would fail the compulsory annual Ministry Of Transport vehicle test (MOT). I know you are not in the UK, however, just 13 tacks across the bottom where it fits against the floor and maybe 30 around the rest of the panel? That is a poor quality repair young man. If that vehicle is involved in a collision where that plate is to be relied upon as part of the structure, then expect a failure and injuries.
Seam seal after the repair section is installed by fully welding all the way around by all means. But at least weld it in fully using the overlapping tack method and obviously not a single continuous bead.
You can always add more - to your liking. I pulled frames for quite a few years and about 4-5 good MIG spot welds on a pull plate (small sheet of metal to pull from) is all you need to literally open gaps on the side of a car - widen door gaps, etc.
Looks like an old junkstang
It's an AMX. I take it you don't like Mustangs?
I had a 65 and 67. Called them junkstangs because they were both rotted to death.
