You are a very good at this , I've done hundreds of these and you can still learn something from another fabricator . Nice clean and well kept shop . From one perfectionist to another very nice !
You are amazing at doing bodywork!!! I've never tried it and am quite intimidated by it, but I'm about to try to learn and give it my best shot. I've got a 1984 Chevrolet c20 pickup that needs a passenger side floor pan, outer rocker panel, and inner kick panel. I'm not only watching your videos for enjoyment, but also to learn as much as I can. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
What a master craftsman. Thank you so much. I have the welding skills to do this to my 55 Chevy but you showed me the body work. I would have not done this correctly. I appreciate your attention to detail. A humble suggestion is when you do two or three parts perhaps label the video part 1 and part 2. Thanks again!
I watched on Trevs blog when he spot welds he keeps touching the hot spot with a damp shop rag in order to continue his weld and reduce warping. Great work here sir
Thanks for posting these! Very informative. I always cringe when I see people grinding paint/cutting metal without a respirator on. Protect those lungs!
Great work & great videos on the way you show how to do "this & that". We are just starting a restore on a 1966 Impala SS. Going to be applying a lot of your techniques to get it done.
You are an Artist and God's given you an enormous skill, if I ever have a truck to do (and my Wife and I are considering one) you would be the man for the Job.
I'm about to attempt this on an 83 crew cab. All 4 doors. I need all the pro tips I can get. I'm a pipe welder. And it don't have to be pretty. Thanks for your video Bruhda....
To bend over those flanges, I use a wide pair of flat sheet metal vise grips with a thin piece of hardwood added to one of the jaws for cushioning. It makes a smoother looking job on the back with less chance of damaging the front of the skin. Love the way you work! You do have a lot of skill and patience. Subscribed......
Lot of work, really nice job! I would suggest seam sealer on the welds and self-leveling on the bottom pinch weld folded over and keeping those drain holes open. Nice catch on that as well. Then coat it with more rust encapsulator where it had not been applied yet. Just great work brother as that will last another 50+ years. Sweet old metal.
Nice work mate,looks great. Got a similar repair on my old Humber to do but no repair panels available or even spare doors to get a cut from. Going to have to make the repair sections myself. Maybe getting a car of which there are only five left on the road was not a smart move!
ok, I just noticed your little trick on the left side mid section bump, where you sliced the side , tapped in and the ground down the top to meet the door line , that sir is what I need, that made it look so easy, you are showing us the way it needs to be done, I would say this is as good or better than David Welch with Brothers.com .....really, keep it up!!!
That looks like a special hammer you have for folding over those edges. Be careful not to weld up that folded lip/skin to the inner door until you're sure you don't need to "twist" the door to match the opening. A old time body guy showed me that to match the door to the opening when doing a skin patch panel. Very, very nice work. Like the pattern to make sure the surface matches.
nice MIG technique thx for posting these I'd love to see the products you're using to treat inside the doors and other inner pannels rust mort and primer ?
I like the screws in the side also , that looks like it made it real quick to pull in and out 100 times, .... I also need to find me an abandon rail line so I can get me one of them thar fancy tappin' devices......or... do you think an active line would miss a little piece that long??????
Thanks....I have learned more from you than most others on youtube. Your attention to detail is impressive. What settings are you using on your mig welder? Thanks
Tom B I’m using the Lincoln mig 135 I set on Letter B on the heat and 4 1/2 on wire speed seems to work pretty well for the 18/20 gauge sheet metal, gauge on the tank is set around 25 when trigger pulled
@@Gibson63. so glad your ok buddy i hope you start posting again because of you i bought a welder and started my own project not as good as you but practise makes perfect
I agree with all of the previous comments. You have a great approach for showing your steps and explain in good detail. May I ask your opinion of flux core on body panels? Have allot of back and forth on the answers to using it.
@@Gibson63. hey! Thanks for the reply. I'm figuring I need to cough up the couple hundred and get bottles and a new welder. Thanks for responding man and best of luck with your projects and future videos!
Yeah buddy thanks ; my Grandpa had a Red 1961 Chevy Apache , brings back so many good Memories . for the thousand time you probably answered this question , what type of welder are you running , does it have gas cylinder , checked past videos , but to no avail
Question, I'm using a Hobart 140 mig welder (110V). I'm working on an '85 K10. I'm having issues with serious burn through when I weld patch panels in. I'll get a setting (3/30) and it will work great and then the next panel, burns through. Then I try 2/30, not enough, 2/40, sometimes works. What kind of welder are you using and what heat/speed settings are you using. Love your videos man, truck looks great!
I'm using the Lincoln mig 135 I set my heat on (B) and my wire speed on 4 -1/2 and I'm running gas, don't know much about any other welder but it sounds like your heat is to high
Gee brother, I with I had u as a friend. I have this what could be the nicest 1997gmc 1500 short box standard cab with original British racing green paint on it still nice and straight still thin tires on the front wide tires on the back really good interior, bought this truck for $700 I think I lucked out on this truck, it was bought with my mom's inheritance money she left me she wasn't a rich lady but a great mom to me and this truck has a lot of sentimental value to me,but I need lower door skin patch repair on both sides. Do you think I should keep this truck or sell it.
What are you spraying on the bare metal that doesn't need a slight coat of filler? Self etching primer? All of my welds are done and ready for either filler or some sort of first coat primer. Thanks
Family Mann Got them from classic parts it’s got a keyparts/triplus sticker on the back I think they fit well for what they are you always have to do a little trimming on these aftermarket panels
Anthony chaney I ground down the paint or epoxy to bare metal anywhere on the panel I'm working on and clamp it. The clamp is on the other side out of the camera view
Just curious , how did you know to take it off the bottom of the inner door than move the bottom up because wasn't it hitting the cab rocker (unless you saw that was just swollen from rust)... Just curious of your thinking process, you really make it look easy , but I know you have HOURS we dont ever see. THANKS!!!!!
Do they make bottom replacement panels for tailgates? I looked and can't find anything but maybe I'm typing in the wrong thing. I've got a 2003 gmc duramax, thanks.
Don’t really remember what caused those dent, but it had to be from hammering the flange down or welding the spot welds, but it all ended up smoothing out after words
@@Gibson63. Cutting ,shaping and carrying on....man you have inspired me . Does me good to hear the accent . Stuck in Wisconsin working on a 1958 Apache 1/2 ton panel. My doors were back ordered, so forward we go.
The common Joe has no clue on the hard hours and long boring hours or takes to do correct rust and body repair! You have to hand to Gibby for hangin on there and gettin er done.
Well, just a suggestion - Silk Screen only - because they last longer and printing is higher quality, Use decent shirts (softstyle in the below link), buy black color T-shirts, and don't get anything smaller than X-large (sizes run small). Most guys will be XL or larger. You might try these guys, they will ship free. www.merch.ly/cheap-merch-offers?MGOOSHBNDL&TEXT&gclid=Cj0KCQiA38jRBRCQARIsACEqIevt_tkKIDgoD5CaofBV3jjNE580-aCIQascolHpdZo4D7S__n-sC-saAvNlEALw_wcB

thank you so much for your videos i have a 63 chevy and i learn so much from you good job!!!
The best detailed videos for sure. thanks for taking the time to do them!
I think the video was very well organized and informative. I feel like I could tackle this kind of job on my 1964 C-10. Thanks
just got two 62 chevy fleetsides your videos are very helpful. this is mt first build.
I can see that taking your time is the MOST important thing. Thanks for excellent videos!

Justin Avery give it a shot man that's what I did before I started
Great job! I have a 66' c10 stepside you really keep me going. Keep up the good work
Thanks for posting these videos Mr Gibson really enjoy them. I haven't seen any new ones recently.

Fantastic job fitting those panels. Thanks for sharing your techniques!
In a throw away world, it's great to see things getting fixed instead! Thank you.
Looks awesome, appreciate how you show us how you do the work.
Awesome job. Absolutely breathtaking.
Going to be doing inner and outer door repair over the weekend. Thanks for the reverence and post.
I watched on Trevs blog when he spot welds he keeps touching the hot spot with a damp shop rag in order to continue his weld and reduce warping. Great work here sir
Thank you for showing us the good work , you are an expert.
Love your vids , best on UA-cam for showing your work
MrFireman164 Thanks man

You even make your mistskes look good! Thanks for not editing them out..... Great video as always!
Learning how to do it right! Thank you for your time great work
Absolutely love the time lapsed fast motion! Too bad we couldn't all move that fast.
We'd all be retired with plenty of everything to spare.
You are an Artist and God's given you an enormous skill, if I ever have a truck to do (and my Wife and I are considering one) you would be the man for the Job.
This guy is doing gods work.
Dude is super talented!!! Excellent work!!!
Great work, attention to detail proves it's worth.
You're a master sir! Awesome work....
Your videos have made me decide to get a c10 and give this a shot
Cool deal man thanks for watching

You've got one lucky brother! :-) Great videos, and can't wait to see how far you take this truck. You're an inspiration as I work on my '64 C10.
Great job. Very good fit on everything!
you are an artist! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the 63 c-10 fix for the day, great job Gibson >

Love seeing how you massaged that panel in there!!!! Sweet!
Excellent work .Great videos.
That turned out really nice
Good looking result, your brother will be happy !
Nice job. I had a 63 for my first truck.
My Uncle used to use Drywall screws to mock everything up.... Then weld with a coat hanger...
Nice work on folding that full length fold over. That's the bit I find most difficult but I've obviously not done as much of this as you have mate.
Hell, that's Cool man! Thanks for sharing.
Felicitaciónes Sr. Excelente y honesto su trabajo

Pappa Bob They call it the door skin hammer I used it on my red 63 thanks for the tip
i wish i had the talent and skill you have! nice u know what would be awsome, if u restored a 38 through 54 chevy coe
Very nice, great job on video also
Looks nice! Luckily the doors on my 66 aren't to bad. They'll still need some work though.
Dido! Your also the fastest hammer in America. LOL Very Good
nice MIG technique
thx for posting these
I'd love to see the products you're using to treat inside the doors and other inner pannels
rust mort and primer ?
I'm gonna send you a couple of Camaro doors to skin in your spare time. ;) great work brother!
jeff lindsey thanks man but never done a full door skin
I like the screws in the side also , that looks like it made it real quick to pull in and out 100 times, .... I also need to find me an abandon rail line so I can get me one of them thar fancy tappin' devices......or... do you think an active line would miss a little piece that long??????

I’m still around, I do have another project to get started on
@@Gibson63. so glad your ok buddy i hope you start posting again because of you i bought a welder and started my own project not as good as you but practise makes perfect
Have a blessed CHRISTMAS when it comes big fan ftom the CAYMAN ISLANDS 👍🏼
hi gibson 63 good video 15+ bob in the uk
Great work, but cover the window from mig sparks & take the chrome off so ya don't damage it. 👍
I agree with all of the previous comments. You have a great approach for showing your steps and explain in good detail. May I ask your opinion of flux core on body panels? Have allot of back and forth on the answers to using it.
I learned on this mig welder with gas never tried anything else this is the only way I’ll go for sheet metal
@@Gibson63. hey! Thanks for the reply. I'm figuring I need to cough up the couple hundred and get bottles and a new welder. Thanks for responding man and best of luck with your projects and future videos!
I bought a tool to bend those over from a swap meet. Haven't tried it yet ,I'm itching to give it a whirl now.
Nice neat work. I'm curious, what gauge wire do you use, and what percentage gas?
nice job 👍🔩🔨🔧☺🚙🆒
I Like how you speed up the video Good job once again ;-)
A tip: you can watch movies on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Walker Aiden Definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for since december myself :D
@Walker Aiden yup, I have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself :)
Would you build the same truck for someone else?
Yeah buddy thanks ; my Grandpa had a Red 1961 Chevy Apache , brings back so many good Memories . for the thousand time you probably answered this question , what type of welder are you running , does it have gas cylinder , checked past videos , but to no avail
Lincoln mig 135 with gas
Thank you Sir

It’s a Self etching primer to keep it from flash rusting until I can do bodywork
nice job again aren't you worried about the door glass getting splatter from the welder and grinder or are you changing it
Had my welding blanket over it for a while then took it off for some reason did not damage the glass, but it's good and scratched up anyway
And are those goodmark brand patch panels mine fit like that too I got mine from rock auto goodmark brand
Family Mann Got them from classic parts it’s got a keyparts/triplus sticker on the back I think they fit well for what they are you always have to do a little trimming on these aftermarket panels
How many hours did that take you? For 1 door?
i am sure it has been asked before , where did u purchase your replacement sheetmetal, thanks for the video"s
Ed Begley All sheet metal came from classic parts
Just knock it around buddy!
You'll never see that good of a job at a dealership unless YOU work there.
Where is you ground for the welder connected? When I have two pieces to join I always have to jumper the two how about you?
Anthony chaney I ground down the paint or epoxy to bare metal anywhere on the panel I'm working on and clamp it. The clamp is on the other side out of the camera view

Just curious of your thinking process, you really make it look easy , but I know you have HOURS we dont ever see. THANKS!!!!!
I keep the inner door bottom from the inside in the same place the original one was which worked fine
Thanks !
Where do you find all the replace panels for the truck? Thanks
Classic parts
Do they make bottom replacement panels for tailgates? I looked and can't find anything but maybe I'm typing in the wrong thing. I've got a 2003 gmc duramax, thanks.
Never seen a bottom replacement panel for these tailgates
Thanks sir, this channel saved me thousands of dollars because I put in new rockers and cab corners myself, I never would have attempted it otherwise.
dont forget to de burr those drainage holes
stosstruppen thanks for the tip
What caused those 2 dents on the outside?
Don’t really remember what caused those dent, but it had to be from hammering the flange down or welding the spot welds, but it all ended up smoothing out after words
