BUY It Here:
Get the supplies you need to fix rusty panels, fabricate replacement metal for rocker panels, quarter panels, floors, and more. You get the same type of aluminized steel used by exhaust manufacturers for corrosion protection; also allows easy forming and welding. The included backing strips allow for accurate alignment, sturdiness, and a clean weld bead.
Kit includes:
7 sheets of 20-gauge aluminized sheet metal (one 12 Inch x 24 Inch, two 12 Inch x 12 Inch, and four 1Inch x 24 Inch)
Two 3/16 Inch double-ended drill bits for plug welding
100 self-tapping screws to secure panels for alignment prior to welding
6 Inch seaming pliers that give you superior leverage for up-to-120-degree bends on panel edges.
See how it’s done in this video.

Hand job it
How about this welding video? Are YOU an Eastwood Guy? Check out this video from Eastwood to find out:

Look at the rust issues on any vintage car and most involve 2 layers of metal spot welded together. The factory uses these seam types primarily to speed up the assembly process. Why would you want to add an unnecessary layer that will create a rust problem all over again? This should be a straight up butt weld repair. Proper fitment and trimming would eliminate the need for a backer strip that will cause more rust.
Nice job man!!!
I fear rust traps with a repair like this !!!
is it just me, or does this guy sound like Jay Leno?? Thanks for the vid, very helpful.
this is fine for a mg…..but never for a classic chevy….this some messed up patch work….this is how not to restore a car….
eastwood stepped up to the plate big this is awesome they are learning as they go so show some support to these dudes not easy for the you tube shift
1/2 inch flange tool would of worked better, no seam for rust to start.
Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
