Modern bodywork is deteriorating the same way the modern man is. No one wants to go the distance for the work, just half ass it and get a participation trophy these days. Solid video Pete ?
my friend pete do you ever braze parts its old school
Love u man!! I think that you are awesome. Do it the right way or don’t do it at all.
spray filler keeps shrinking. the body is straight when u paint it but
after a month all the dents and wobbles reappear. even glazing putty is
garbage if you do a skin coat over 120 grit. sand body fill to 320 then
prime with 2k urethane primer. if you have small pinholes then maybe use
spot/glaze putty just over pinholes. licensed bodyman 2009. worked at
mercedes til i got sick. no issues with my work. never a sandscratch
seen or dent reappeared.
who is them? I been in the trade 30 years and your method is very similar to mine.
why the fuck would you poly fill the entire car when you dont have to fix what isnt broken? poly fill is for spots just before primer
canned anger
So much truth here. I have had to remove messes of featherfill after somebody else's mess started falling off in chunks. Pete is the man.
Pete, I must say that I've learned 95% of how to do body work from watching your YouTube channel. The other 5% I've learned on my own by trial and error. I'm just a diesel mechanic for the company that I work for, but I've learned enough by watching your videos and on my own that I feel comfortable doing most of the body work for the company that I work for. I take pride in my work, and I won't let a truck leave the terminal unless I'm satisfied with how my work turns out. And I know that if my employer took a body repair job to an actual body shop that it might get done faster, but there's a bigger price for that. But when I do the body work I take my time and I do it right. I just want to say thank you for all the knowledge that you share and I really appreciate you taking the time to make and upload videos.
Thanks again Pete and Minnie
Like Pete, I had to learn body work on my own..since I was 17 years old. Lol the first time I bought a pint of bondo for my Austin Healy 100-6 I mixed the whole tube of hardener into the can and started spreading the bondo…LMAO! It started to get real hot (the can) and then it got hard LOL! THEN I read the directions! Lol young and dumb! but hey it taught me to READ THE F'G DIRECTIONS!
Since then I had to learn how to prep the metal before filler and primer, how to sand correctly, what grit sandpaper to use and when, what sanders to use and not use, how the outside temperature affects the metal, filler, primer and paint…how water and oil inside the air lines f*&^k's-up the paint, how the oil on my skin f(&^%k's-up the paint. My second learning right after the Healy was, I put-on about 1" thick of bondo to fill-in the holes around the headlights on those flat-nosed ford vans after I installed rectangular headlights…LOL! the bondo cracked and separated so like a young and dumb kid I just put more bondo in the cracks!
If you don't WORK and GET IT DONE….YOU WON'T LEARN SHIT.
Now I am a good body repairman and painter…40 years later…award winning home built street rods (2)…"more metal work, less filler" is my motto. Just in the last 3 years I learned how to do weld-in steel patch panels…making templates of the hole, cutting the steel, welding it in….and doing curved and rounded steel patch panels..again using templates to cut the steel..using old pipe to bend the steel patches. I replaced the whole rounded steel area underneath the whole windshield on my 76 chevy stepside truck…the whole bottom area where the rubber glass seal goes was rusted out…one section at a time…looks like factory now.
Nothing is impossible if you have patience. PATIENCE!
Thanks Pete for your video's and hard work.
(geese it has been 40 years?…man I'm old)…getting old sucks lol…now when I drop something it takes me an hour to pick it up..oh…what am I looking for now? Why did I come out here? Where did I leave my coffee cup…fuck!
