this fella truely does a great job explaining each process and the reasoning behind his actions .. been an outstanding series of videos so far. cheers from Australia 🍻🤘
Thanks mate really appreciate that. Like a friend of mine said, how many people would have that level of skill but then also able to explain it so well 👍
It is the only way to deal with the internal rust that will compromise the car in the future.Most rebuilds because of time and money are ticking rust bombs with a shiny paint job on top.Glad that you are doing this the right way and that roof repair is superb work second to none👌
I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard that here in New Zealand when cars are going through compliance they use scope cameras to look in places for that hidden rust. Any rust and it's a fail.
Watching this video reminded me of working on cars with my dad and doing it the same and brought back good memories. This is the first restoration video l have seen that does the same and also doing a awesome job on fixing/restoring a car the correct way.
I am just a fabricator I dabble in panel beating with my own projects But I was sent out when I worked for someone else to a Resto shop that exclusively did old pre war Rolls-Royce and Bentley's real big dollar cars because of my alloy and brass work and particularly welds I spent a few weeks making parts but I remember one day I had to wait for an old timer to skin this quarter as I needed to remake a tank that was accessible without skinning the quarter but I was told to wait untill it was done at the time I couldn't get my head around why they were skinning a perfectly good quarter I asked to old timer why when there's nothing wrong with it He replied with more work is less work I didn't understand what he meant untill years later I was repairing a bent Datsun 1000 bonnet for a buddy basically unobtainable and it was easier and quicker to skin the bonnet and repair and refit then doing anything else that's what's going on here More work is less work
Yes well said. It certainly seemed extreme when Paul said he planned to do this. It certainly makes logical sense now I've seen it. Thank you I'm sure others will appreciate reading your comment 👍
im happy you guys are doing it this way so many people weld the out side and hide the rest with bog and paint.. hats off to paul and your self for making this call No half assing and doing it right.
Thanks mate, yeah and those who half ass it are the ones who end up failing compliance, have to re do it properly at more expense or just give up and sell it as an unfinished project at a major loss.
Its great to see its being restored correctly, that rust hides everywhere. well done mate - good episode 👍, i found some of the most terrible rust repairs after i sand blastard my Ute
Thanks mate, our process here in NZ is really hard, any bit of rust, even that surface rust on the frame and it would fail compliance. Look forward to your next update and well done on your last video, great to see it getting so many views👍
I was wondering what you were going to do after you fixed the roof. THis vid has answered my question. Initially I thought you were going to leave all the rust underneath the roof. At least you had the choice of where you could cut the quarter panels. Great work.
@@The-State-of-it hq stato, had a hole where back window goes on left side but both sides were pretty bad… worth popping an inspection camera or ya phone up through one of the 5 holes underneath
@The-State-of-it yeah sweet, would love to see that, all replacement drip rails ive found look nothing like the originals, keen to see how they are replicated
But you have to have the money to pay for it and someone who knows what they are doing. Many a car has been lost by idiots that just keep pulling a car to bits then it ends up year later on the scrap pile. I used to buy them bolt every thing back together and resell them done well out of it.
@@The-State-of-it I hope so I liked some of the stuff he done some of it I just scrolled by but left a like for the algorithms he just needs to clear his head and stop trying to be the one true source
Appreciate the algorithm help! Sometimes with these videos it can be difficult to put across or explain exactly what we are doing or the thought process,
I know what you are doing I build toys myself just dont want people getting grand ideas not knowing what they are doing and another cool car is lost. To be honest I have never seen a vent panel that mint in decades. Was one of the main repairs on holdens and falcons back in the day. That guy has some skills and is doing it the right way but talents like that dont come cheap was my point lol. I'm redoing my gt falcon coupe at the mo it's on my channel.

A ticking rust bomb! Haha! So true, I had no idea that's how it would look underneath.
@@The-State-of-itwe have to do what we do to save them...
Hi what a skilling and beautiful job you are doing watching with pleasure...
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying 👍
makes a lot of sense when you do body work
allows access to the hiden rust better and able to clean and paint rust protection

Thank you that's really cool to hear it reminded you of your good times. Makes dong these videos well worth while 👍
How it’s done ✅ proper
That's a 1:1 scale model! 😂👍
It's the flat pack option, was only available in the Statesman 😅
Flat packed, ready for shipping 😀
I am just a fabricator I dabble in panel beating with my own projects
But I was sent out when I worked for someone else to a Resto shop that exclusively did old pre war Rolls-Royce and Bentley's real big dollar cars because of my alloy and brass work and particularly welds
I spent a few weeks making parts but I remember one day I had to wait for an old timer to skin this quarter as I needed to remake a tank that was accessible without skinning the quarter
but I was told to wait untill it was done at the time I couldn't get my head around why they were skinning a perfectly good quarter
I asked to old timer why when there's nothing wrong with it
He replied with more work is less work
I didn't understand what he meant untill years later I was repairing a bent Datsun 1000 bonnet for a buddy
basically unobtainable and it was easier and quicker to skin the bonnet and repair and refit then doing anything else that's what's going on here

Really interesting series. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you, will keep them coming 👍
Nice work he is going the extra step this will fix all the internal issues.
Thanks, its going to be a solid car at the end, should be good forever 👍

Cheers mate, yeah I got a few jabs in the comments over that one! Its come up real nice now, next video will show all that 👍
@@The-State-of-it Thank you, I look forward to the next video.
I’d be checking that inside the rear window to boot filler panel, I unpicked mine yesterday and I’m glad I did cause it was bad inside
Yeah right, you would think that bit would be ok as water can't sit there but no. What is the car you are doing?

@@The-State-of-it water could also run down the c pillar from holes in the roof too
Cool we'll be sure to take a close look.
This is sorta bloke who can make HK Monaro quarter panel from a flat bit of steel like my cousin Dean Prodger
great video.
Thank you for watching 👍
Take it from the man that knows 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
The right way 👍
It’s going to be mint…
from a distance it will look a bit rough, on closer inspection it will be top level.
Did he sacrifce the lower drip rails to get the roof off and whats the plan to replace them if he did?
Well there was not really much to salvage, pretty much gone. Folded up new ones, I'll show them at some stage, probably when the roof goes back on 👍

Be sure to stay tuned to upcoming videos and see if manage to get this thing back together 😅
