Man if you hadn’t told me that that was your first time doing this, I wouldn’t have believed you. Wow. That is top notch work for sure. 😮👍🏻
I still have a lot that I can improve on but I was happy with this job! Thank you very much!
I like the video. You explain things really well and clearly, easy to understand. You did a great job on the project. I myself am working on a 71' chevy c20 and have zero previous experience with welding, cutting, fabing sheet metal. Keep the videos coming !
Thank you and good luck on fixing yours up!
Great work. I am getting ready to tackle the same job and wanted a refresher course. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Nice work! You explained things really well and the video content and editing were great.
Thank you!
This is how a great man started.
Thank you!
Nice job on the video and the truck, watching a beginner do this work makes me comfortable (as a beginner) to get busy on my 1975 Blazer.
Thank you!!
I wish that was my truck you just fixed. Great Job
Haha thank you!
Great job man you've inspired me to do the rockers on my car . Keep up the great work
Thank you very much and good luck on your car!
You did a really good job man .
Thank you very much!
I was looking for tips for my old Bronco2 and your use of those gap spacers was exactly what I was looking for. Haven't done any welding in many years and back then it was pipe welds, so not much experience with thin metal. Greatly appreciate your tips.
Thank you very much! It’s a lot different than welding thicker material. Just gotta take your time and be patient with it
Great stuff and thanks for the tips. About to do the same to my C10.
Make sure to take plenty of pictures so you remember how everything was! It’s not a fun job but pretty satisfying when it’s all back together
Seriously, you did a fantastic job young man! Keep it up. You did it so well, some of the steps I think you might want to talk more about. I'm saying that for me. LOL
Thank you very much! When I do them again I’ll try and make a better explanation video
Great video gives me a heads up what's in store for me on my 1971 GMC Jimmy keep the videos coming
Thank you!
Great video
I gotta tell ya. If this is your second time doing this, you are so damn good at it. Yea, theoretically it's not rocket science but until you have done one, it's very daunting. Now I must look back and check out what welder you are using because your tack welds look really pro. Hands of Gold for sure. Makes me want to try it.
Thank you very much!
Where i live that isnt even rusted enough to fix yet 😂😂😂 but good work none the less
😂 thank you! I’d hate living in salted areas
Professional work, and as others have said, inspiration to tackle my own car. Now, this is not a criticism, but I would like to see also how you actually cut out the old rusted metal. What you used, how to get a straight cut, etc. And from that, the equipment you used to weld it. I don't know if the speeded up video could be slowed down to show that, but just an idea. Again, fabulous work!!
Thank you! Maybe on the next truck I can do a more in depth video.
Thanks! That'd be welcome.@@champlingarage
that's beautiful work.
Thank you!
Nice work
Nice, looks like you have a future in body repair.
Thank you!
Good Job
Thank you!
Amazing
Looks great bro 👌🏿
Hey thanks man!
sup Great job my boy!
where did you but the clips to hold rocker panels to the body
also where did you buy the rocker panels?
I got those clamps at harbor freight in the welding section! All of the panels are from LMC!
Good ass video
Thank you!
Great.. we are getting ready to do same exact thing. What tack welder are you using? And what cutter are you using? THANKS
Just a normal wire feed welder and a normal cutting wheel
What kind of truck? Great instructions!
This is a 1971 chevy c20!
Thank you for the video, where did you purchase the replacement parts?
All of the panels are from LMC truck!
Thank you
So you cut the inner rocker out, then butt welded the new piece in is that correct?
Yes I cut out the inner rocker and the outer piece of the floor. Then I butt welded the entire new piece in. The new piece was the outer floor and inner rocker as one
bro what size of bolt takes up the floor ?
Can you drop the link for the kicker panel? I am having a hard time searching for it even on lmc. Just not quite sure what to search because it's not coming up
I don’t have a link for it but it’s on LMC website right with all the other interior patch panels
how big are your vice grip clamps? what kind of welder are you using and what gauge, speed?
also what did you use for sanding?
What sheet tools were those again?
What brand replacement panels did you use?
All of the panels are from LMC Truck!
what brand of after market parts did you use
All of the patch panels are from LMC. They are pretty good quality!
where do u get these pieces bro
All of the patch panels are from LMC truck!
Can't learn or see much when you run in fast forward.
The only fast parts are me cutting and welding. If I left all that in real time the video would be hours long. This was also my learning experience so I was very slow with my work anyways.
Never fails a critic is always lurking.
It's the hard part, facing it, adjusting your plan as things develop that viewers wish was easy to copy. But when a guy does this, it kind of comes together because you're in it.
Your explanations are good.
There's a flat vertical piece behind that you see after getting in.
A person needs to add that to his order of parts.
My question is, how do you kill the rust you didn't replace, how did you treat the sections before the POR 15?
Is it spray, brush on, or the evaporust liquid wash, or have you just welded it back together and left it in there and a layer of POR-15 applied to it like a skin?
Sorry I didn't see.
Hope it's not a dumb question.
Looked like a nice job outwardly.
This is a excellent video. Very well explained. Where did you get them square clamps? I need to know that for when I do my 1984 GMC Jimmy
Thank you very much! These body panel clamps are from harbor freight. Pretty cheap price and good quality
