Great video, a lot of good information in thus vid it really Going to help me out with my 85 chevy camaro I actually laid some bondo over fiber glass mat When I was done. There were a lot of high spots. And I did not know what to do. But now, after watching your video, I am confident that I can make it look Perfect again 👌
Thanks! That fan trick was cool
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! I really do appreciate it !!
Got an 03 f150 that has a 4x12 inch rust along the fender body line. I appreciate finding this video and shows how you get that small curve line done well..and getting the scratches smoothed out. ive been using 35 grit belt sander sand paper lol..then 120 then 240.
Im a flooring installer but I'll take the time learn get it done well I think. Useful video here thank you.
Incredible..
this is an amazing video so glad i’ve come across this will be applying this on my 240sx
👍
Great demo
Thank you!!!
I am so glad to see you again. for the round corners,I use a styrofoam sheet as a backing pad for the polish paper.
There's for sure more than one way to go about it, this is the way I was taught to do it many years ago, and this method hasn't let me down ones ... Cheers :)
Muy bien Bro saludos desde Honduras 🇭🇳👌excellent that you come back
Marco mi amigo !!!! Thank you very much !

Don't want to stop now, going to show you guys what I've been up to for the past year in the future videos...
Welcome back brother, I really miss your episodes.
I follow you from Iraq.
Thank you Hussein !! Greetings from US !

Glad to see you back! I thought you'd give up on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, ended up taking some time off due to lack of time to work on the videos. But the whole time that I wasn't posting I was filming. I have a ton of material for you guys... Promise I won't disappoint :-)
great video bud, Hello from Canada
Thanks Moe! Hello right back at ya from south of the border..
This is the first time I've seen your work, this is really good and valuable. I will probably use your video in a teaching session for a Detailing class I'm starting soon, with tour permission! :) 😀
Go right ahead! You have my full permission!!
Good job buddy
Thank you my friend !!! 👍👍
I’ve just come across your channel today. Cool guy and great videos. Subscribed, and I really hope you keep making more!
Welcome aboard ! Final vid on this stuck rebuild will drop at the end of this week, then I got lot's more in the works after that... Cheers !
Please keep the videos coming!!!
Got more in the works right now...
@@fix206 Can't wait. I'm in the Seattle area too. Unfortunately, I have a strict HOA. The president was looking at me funny when I had to remove my bumper to replace me headlight bulb lol.
It is stuff living in an HOA neighborhoods. Told my wife that we would never live in one lol. Those Nazis get on your case for just about anything
Almost every comment is happy to see you back again and I can only repeat that. I've missed your videos over the last year. The way you do things and explain what you are doing is really helpful to anyone with less experience in repair work and the range of tools that you've made is always interesting to see. It sounds like you've been really busy with repairing vehicles since your last video and hopefully your videos will be more regular now. How's the Chevy truck going? It's been a long time since you uploaded a video on that one. Looking forward to your next video. All the best from Queensland Australia.
Thank you Bruce, I started to worry after a couple of days that I've not seen a comment from you once this video got posted. I'm happy to hear back from you because that means that all is well with you on your end. It's been a good and productive year for me. I'm thinking at this point I would like to change my daily schedule around a bit, because I really want the channel to grow but there is no way for the growth if I I'm not posting. Plus the 2 TB hard drive that I was dumping all of my new video material onto is full, and I was thinking to myself: "What good is all this material if I just collect it while no one gets to see it..." So I made a conscious effort to get the last video edited and uploaded. It took a good bit of work and time, but once it was posted and all the positive comments started rolling in I did not want to stop. Hopefully I'll have the next video done this coming week so I can have it released early Sunday morning.
As far as the Chevy truck goes, I've gathered some more parts for it over the winter and also got some new tools that will for sure be helpful with that rebuild. I knew from the get-go that this project is going to take some time to complete, because I want to take my time to get it done right, but at the same time this is not the type of a project that will pay the bills, it's going to be a personal vehicle, a fun weekend cruiser, something I would enjoy taking to car shows in the summer. I will be revisiting this project from time to time, posting updates as I get more work done on it once I get little more free time. Therefore work that pays the bills comes first, good thing about most of the work that I do is all autobody related and that's the stuff I've been working on and filming over the past year so there's gonna be a lot of fun, interesting videos that I will be posting in the coming weeks....
@@fix206 That's all good news and really glad that you'll be posting more videos soon. I hope you have at least two copies of all those videos on that 2TB HDD. I usually have three copies of my data, one on my laptop and two on external 2TB HDDs. Some years ago when I was using 1TB HDDs for backup, I had one HDD fail and one got corrupted, leaving only one good copy, so I was then able to format the corrupted HDD and replace the dead one and restore the backups. It would be a disaster if you lost all those videos after all that work.
You are right about that, it would be a disaster if I lost all of that footage. Several years ago I took a part in a World War II reenactment which was one of the coolest things that I think I've ever done. Had a lot of photos from that event stored on a hard drive and one day the hard drive just died. Luckily I have had copies of some of the pictures saved elsewhere, but majority of the pictures remained on the doomed HD. It is a solid state hard drive so I'm not sure if any of the material could be retrieved from it. I do have a couple of other spare hard drives that I should copy of all of my material to just to be on the safe side because you never know :-)
@@fix206 Definitely make several copies of your videos, because you never know when a HDD will fail without notice. I'm not sure what you could do with the SSD to get the data back yourself without sending the drive to a specialist recovery company ($$$$$$). However, as it's likely that it's the controller that failed, it's possible that the data may still be intact on the static RAM, so if there is a way to read that RAM with some reader, then it might be possible to recover the data. I remember in past videos that you've removed chips from an instrument cluster and an airbag module and read and made changes to the data, so if you can find a device that will accept the RAM chip(s) then there could be a way to possibly recover the data. If you do find a way and you can recover the data, it would make a very interesting video. I've never dismantled an SSD (I only have one in my laptop) so I don't know how they are constructed or what's inside one, but maybe it's a possibility.
Been waiting on this video for a while now. I remember seeing this truck in primer at D's Bday a while back. Can't wait to see how it looks done.
And cheers from Montana.
That truck been done and painted for a whole year already... Finally I found some time and drive to push this vid out and now I just want to keep going... Hows Montana? Did that junk yard ever sell?
@@fix206 The yard is still for sale. I still have not stopped by to check it out. And I figured that truck was done by now, but I've been gone over a year so I have not seen it yet. Probably going to have to wait for that next video to see what it looks like is all.
And Montana is nice. Small towns and friendly people with good weather. I can't complain at all.
Trying to push the next video out this coming Sunday if all goes well... Brandy and and I are thinking of relocating to Florida for some real nice weather :)
@@fix206 That would be a good move! DIY gang just moved to Florida and set up a new shop. We used to live in New South Wales, where the winters are really long and really cold (mild by your standards - no snow, just frost). It's just now 30 years since we moved here to Queensland and even though the winters can be quite cool and sometimes cold nights, the days are usually around 70F, sometimes a bit colder, but way better than the 50F we had in New South Wales.
Top🏆job!
Thank you ! I appreciate that !
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Ive learned ALOT watching these so now I buy filler by the gallons and i fill everything. Dents, dings, rust holes and looks good when im done
Happy New Year. All the best for 2023 from Queensland Australia. Been missing your videos which are always interesting and informative. Hope you can find the time to make and upload some new videos in the new year. No doubt you have a lot of interesting projects, just finding the time to make and upload the videos when you are so busy.
Happy new year Bruce !! I do get on the computer couple of times a week to check on the channel and respond to messages, but not much editing... Always have projects in the works aside from main work. Right now I'm in the process on building a Budget CNC plasma cutting setup, as always I'm filming every step of the way and at some point I'll have the video of the build posted :)
@@fix206 Looking forward to seeing your CNC project when you can upload the video. Hoping to see your son's red truck final video where it's all finished too. Then there's the 48 Chevy truck on the C10 frame which hopefully you've been filming the progress on, not to mention the other rebuilds that you showed in your last video. Sounds like you need someone to help with video editing so you can get all your videos uploaded.
I did consider hiring some editing help, the only problem with that is, everyone has their own style or work/edit and I feel that I might not be happy with someone else's style and will end up reworking all of their work in the end :)
@@fix206 That is one problem with getting someone else to do work for you. Hope you can find the time to get some editing done yourself. Your videos are always very interesting and informative.
This is my first time on your site. :)
Welcome !!
Hope you comeback, I really dig your videos
Promise I'll be back soon, just been slammed with work the last year or so :)
Been run n a fan 4 years
It's the way to go 👍
Mr Fix, You're a Real Craftsman! Learning So Much Here! John 3:16
Thank you Roger !!!
Finally !!!
I feel the same LOL This vid is long overdue
@@fix206 It's like a Christmas.. I fucking swear! 😅
I don't put filler on bare steel get flash rust under the filler.with cars rusting as they do the days corrosion is key a coat or 2 of expoy or a dtm 2k love the compressor I fix my damage primer then filler the coil I'm making it now for my compressor now.
good
Thanks!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Phillip Hall
Same to you my friend !
@@fix206
Thanks Fix…. 👍🏻
i like your channel, i learn a lot . im a begginer. thanks! where is the second part painting the car?
Stick around, there's a lot more great information that will be posted shortly... And the last part of this truck repair should be up in less than a week
Very helpful on the Bondo. Is it better to use an orbital sander than a vibrating sander? I only own a vibrating one at the moment.
Either orbital or vibrating sander should work
Any update on when you'll be uplading more videos? These have really helped out
I'll have a new vids out soon... I promise :)
I was very intrigued by your spotter and while I don't need to build a full unit as you have I was wondering where you sourced the ring styled tension puller? Did you make that as well? Is there a video and parts list available? I must say that your methods and ingenuity is quite impressive. Thank you for your inspiration. ❤️
The puller is the only thing I did not build in my original set up, but I've since built a few sets of pullers for people that were interested in them...
🙏Please tell me that you did a video of the spot puller build. 🥰🤣🤣🤣. I have sourced one online for under$100...🤷♂️May just go that route... Thanks and keep the builds coming... I like you're straight forward explanation of what you are doing. I don't need all the technical mumbo jumbo,,,, We're good ol Boys talking about fixin cars and trucks 🚙🚘🚗🚖🚕🚚... 😁🤣
can you send me a link to the puller that you've found? I want to check it out...
Niiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you Alejandro !
ahhh , finally
I know... I know... 🤓
Hi there Friend, I think your work is top Tier...! I just hope those COPART CARS that get Shipped to Nigeria, get the same treatment...!🤔😇👍
I hope so too:)
Nice work for in your driveway. I'm impressed.
Your neighbors must hate your guts.
Thanks
Thanks Ray! I'm good with all of my neighbors... No hate at all... I don't make much noise, even though I do it in my driveway, i still keep low key
Following your vids . when I think I got it straight something just doesn't feel right and I have to go back over it
It's frustrating . but in body work patience is needed I guess
You need a lot of patience to get it done right, you can apply and sand multiple coats, but if still doesn't feel right then you gotta keep going until it feels perfect ...
Hi Fix, I sure would like to see the video showing how you paint and keep the bugs and trash out of your paint! Good Stuff no doubt! Phillip Hall
Philip my friend, how are you? I'm actually setting up my new computer as we speak, moving all of the video files from the old to the new platform. I'm gonna try and push out next video by the end of this coming week 👍
@@fix206
Hi Fix! I am doing fine. I hope you are too? I have been working on putting together a multi-purpose trailer. It’s coming along real well! Still love my spotter! Have yet to build the frame machine but that will become a reality when necessary.
It has been very dry in my location for over a month which is very unusual allowing excessive dust , and bugs are everywhere! lol. As always I look forward to your next video! Phillip
All is good here... I did not know that you built a spotter, did you build it the same way as I built mine? Or did you do anything different with your set up? I have actually changed electronics in mine, this thing is better than ever, I will be doing a video on it sometime down the road. So far we're experiencing a very nice, warm and dry October in Seattle. I'm able to get more stuff done outside then I normally would.
@@fix206
You have so much going on and many viewers and commenters that you most likely have temporarily forgot. You and talked about it on one of your video comment sections. My Son and I put one together for his Science Project at his school. This was in the midst of the covid scare. He did very well in the State and I really believe he would have won 1st in his event division, if he had been allowed to demonstrate it. I think he won third but I can't remember for sure, either, lol. The event was a virtual deal by computer and he was not allowed to demonstrate the spotter in use. He gave you credit for the build.
Oh that's right, now I remember. Sorry, as you said I talk to a lot of people about this and that... Totally slipped my mind.
What kind of paint do you use
Хороший грунт,таким тоже работаю,слой большой даёт.
Взял как-то раз на пробу потому что этот был самый дешёвый в магазине. Реально слой дает хороший, теперь пользуюсь эксклюзивно только им :-)
Did you have to put putty for those scratches ?
Жду ваших новых видео!
Работы сейчас завал, скоро опять начну редактировать видосы и выставлять...
On the high spots that come thru the first coat of filler, I tap them down in a center punch and a hammer
Hammer and chisel would also work, I'm using a masonry hammer that has some weight to it and also a sharp point at the business end. I feel like I have more control over what I'm doing the way I'm doing it, also it frees up one of my hands :)
@@fix206 beat it low and fill it with dough!
LOL
When would you use acid etch primer? I'm not sure if the body filler provides rust protection.
I"ve never used it on a car body.. Just suspension and frame.
Yooooooooooo!!!!!!! Ur back!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆...... u better stay!!!😡😡
Yes I am 😎 got too much stuff to post so I'm gonna have to stick around for a while :-)
Somebody gonna be painting the neighbor's house 😂
I was wondering why you didn't mask before priming . then saw that you painted the whole side
I'm doing an area like the lower quarter panel you did on the rolls Royce . I need to k ow how to mask so I don't have sharp lines and everything looks blended nicely . can you please advise
Yes I'm subscribed and I looked . right now I'm getting everything masked for primer
Can you explain what is backmasking ?
I tried typing out the explanation for backmasking a couple of times but I don't think I can explain it well enough as I type it out.. I'll have to show and explain it little better in one of my later videos. But another way not to end up with a sharp primer line is simply by putting your masking paper little further out from your repair area. This way as your prime, the primer will land into the immediate repair area and also just slightly outside of it but not far enough to where it would build over the masking tape/paper... Just mask off anything that you don't want the primer overspray to land on, pushing your masking paper a bit further out of your work area isn't a big of a deal... Hopefully my explanation made sense :-)
@@fix206 ok thanks looking forward to seeing it . I prime in a few days .
Good luck !!
Are you using 80 grit the entire time prior to the 180 grit to round off the body line? You mention the grit on the DA but not on the sanding block or to round the quarter corner.
Yep 80 grit most of the way, on the last coat of glaze I switch to 180 or 220 grit
@@fix206 awesome thanks man
I need you to paint my car black and gold i been watching you for a while great work but how much you change
Sorry man, buy I normally do not work on other people's cars... Either my own projects or the insurance work on cars at the shop where I work at...
hi,do you know of any website where I can find the dimensions measures before working the frame machine???
I don't know any specific websites, however you can Google the chassis dimensions of you specific vehicle and you might come up with something... I"m about to do a frame pull on a 2021 Mazda CX5 and I was able to find measurements online with ease
I just checked a couple of weeks ago to see if I'd missed any updates. I think the last episode I remember, you got married or went on your honeymoon...
It's been a while since I posted, but I got married a few episodes back from my last one, all is good though, we are still together 😆
👍✌️
Thank you !! ✌️
What brand of paint gun do you use
For primer I just use the cheapest gun the harbor freight has to offer. But for paint I stick with Iwata
2:04 inspection with a holstered gun? Hmm, is he being sure nothing illegal can be found there? Strange way to do an inspection 🙃
Strange indeed, not sure why they still doing these inspections, none of the other nearby states have anything like it, not sure why we do...
