Antique Truck Door
Переглядів 2612 місяці тому
In this video I show the way I took an antique truck door, had a logo painted on it and created patina to give it an authentic look of being original to the door. I've never done this before so I really don't know how the pros do it but by trial and error I think it came out pretty good. I'll show step by step how I made my one of a kind door to hang on the wall in my shop.

In this video, I get the hood to fit and it's not without it's problems. The aftermarket hinges are tight and it causes some issues. The latch is adjusted to get a secure hold and is easy to operate. The 1970 Chevelle is finally starting to look like a car again.
1970 Chevelle Part 10 Installing The Fender
Переглядів 7202 місяці тому
This video shows everything I had to do to make the fender fit correctly on the 1970 Chevelle. This was typical of most cars from that era in dealing with the poor fit of new or replacement parts. Adding shims was how the factory did it and they always used plenty of them.

Переглядів 4823 місяці тому
Continuing on the 1970 Chevelle, I install the deck lid and the right side door. When dealing with aftermarket parts, it's usually a challenge to get sheet metal to fit correctly and this is no exception. Even though the deck lid is original, the replacement quarter panels are aftermarket. Next comes the door to deal with.

Переглядів 6305 місяців тому
This 1970 Chevelle needs some work on the rear panel between the deck lid and rear glass. It's had some prior work done to it that looks rough. Also when the new quarter panels were welded on, the seams to this panel were not finished properly. I'll get this panel looking factory. evercoat rage gold - amzn.to/3NFQL6C

Excellent fine well detailed video......thanks

Hello. Nice work as always. What is the red tool to hold the door open? Do you think this work needs a fiberglass filler before regular bodyfiller? And have a nice day !
The tool was an old hood prop rod. The panel didn’t need fiberglass filler as the damage area where I welded the patch was minimal. Most of it would’ve been ground off before bondo anyway. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend Petar
Thanks for the inspiration Greg!
Thanks for watching Tom
Excellent video on some old fashioned metal work. Have a great week Greg 👍
Thanks for checking it out Jerry. Have a great week also
Thanks for a next great video
Thanks for watching

Nobody can accuse you of being a paint gun snob!
Nope. Not with that relic of a paint gun. Thanks for watching
Very educational. I've never been able to do deliberate damage even to show it can be undone.
Nice upload Sir. Very informative.Your knowledge and experience is very much appreciated. Keep informing the people...
Thanks for the watching
Charcoal starter fluid helps soften the glue as well
Good tip. Thanks for watching
are these good hot staple guns
I think they’re all made in China but they shouldn’t a long time ago. Not much to go wrong. Thanks for watching
That lari is silly. Remembers me of one my frend uri had. We hate it much ha ha
Thanks! This also seems like a practical method for installing precisely cut patch panels on a rusty mower deck made of thin sheet metal, thus avoiding the complexities of warping and blow through from the MIG welding process.
The powder is not good for wet sanding
Your gaps will make or break your paint job
Good video on fixing a previous repair Greg - thanks for sharing my friend 😊
Thanks for checking it out Jerry.
Thank you! Excelent as usual.
Thanks for watching
I'll bet he fills the holes he made with 1/2 inch undercoat plugs.
He’ll solder in something.
Don’t give away my secret
Thanks again for that great video, really appreciate it
Thanks for watching
How do you think the drum surface stripper would have worked on that mud/fiberglass?🤔
Good question. We’ll find out once I start on the door. Thanks for watching
thanks for showing us that, lost art for sure,have a good day Gregg
Thanks for watching Richard. Good to hear from you
Hey thanks! Got lots of shrinking to do on a former cave and pave on a classic.
thanks for the great video. I don't have the torch you have, so my question is can use a stud weld instead?

Very true about best tool box in the garage. Buy the tools👍
Awesome video
I very much appreciate this break down! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for watching
This is perfect. I've had holes from a removed spoiler on my car that are taped over. I feel much better using solder rather than body filler.
Thanks for watching
where did you get the attachment for pulling the rails inward?
It came with the porta power when I bought it in ‘78. As far as I know it’s been discontinued. Thanks for watching
Sorry for the noob question but what does float the DA mean ?
Good question. Don’t put any down pressure on the DA. Just hold the handle and keep it moving back and forth. Let it “float” over the area. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
What a beauty! Is that light silver with a red or orange pin stripe?
It’s actually gray primer. No stripes
Sorry I commented by accident on your build.
Nice to see you making videos again
Where have you been? I never quit
Very good video and explains in in simple terms
Thanks for watching
Respect
Im a 😊 female and your explanation is beautiful, no nonsense but great instructions. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Seems like a wire wheel would work just as well. This is a specialty tool, only for certain jobs.
You can also purchase better brands that have better grit with these barrels i find they work a lot better.
That's usually the deal with HF power tools. Get the tool but go elsewhere for the discs/abrasives/bits.
I have that machine it's amazing but does heat up a bit so i'm sure you know as a tech what is to hot.
That looks useful for removing mill scale from plate steel, but I imagine it would be annoying to use on anything curved or thin.
no belt, all gears according to the manual
That sounds even more durable. Thanks for the info and for watching
@@autobodytrainingsolutions838 You're welcome, great videos by the way, keep them coming
Nice review Gregg - have a good week my friend 👍
Thanks Jerry. Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend
I bought a rigid chopsaw about 10 years ago and it came with extra brushes,glad you made this video, im still on the fence on these though
I probably won’t have enough use to actually wear this out but I’m looking forward to using it. Thanks for watching Richard
Waste of my time
Right next to the Gas Tank uh
Excellent video series! It is enjoyable to watch you explain in simple terms how to use these tools. I just watched your other videos on the pogo stick and the monkey on a stick. I have a question for you. I am trying to fix some damage on the occupant compartment of my project Porsche 944. It must have been in an accident at one time and the front part near where the left foot goes is pushed in and the floor is bumped up as a result. What tools would you recommend to pull or push to bring it back into shape and where would you push or pull from that would be strong enough to not create problems? I can send you a picture if it helps. I am just a hobbyist, but I would like to understand the thought process and identify what tools I would need to make such a repair. Thanks for your help!
You can contact me at my email lachc57@yahoo.com
One more thing - maybe I missed it in the video, but what kind/thickness of metal are you using for those little discs for soldering? Would 0.5 mm steel sheet metal be good? Thanks
I just cut up an old fender. As long as it’s fairly close to the metal you’re repairing it will work
Has anybody actually filled, primed and painted over this method to see if I comes out smooth? I'm repainting my car and want to take off the door guard strips for smooth doors, which would leave holes that would need to be filled, and I don't want to take off all the inside door panels. Thanks.
I’ve been doing this same repair for almost 40 years. Works great and never had any issues. Thanks for watching
@@autobodytrainingsolutions838 Thanks! This is going to make my day being able to take off those door guards!
thank you
