Summary

TLDRDans cette vidéo passionnante, nous suivons l'honnête Dan de Speed Shop 67 dans sa quête de restaurer une Camaro qui, malgré son apparence trompeuse de façade, est en réalité en très mauvais état. Dan explique que le processus impliquera des jours de travail acharné, de découpe, de soudage, de debardage et d'assemblage. Il détaille les parties spécifiques attendues pour la voiture, dont de nouveaux fenders, un capot, des portes, un coffre et des quartiers de toit, ainsi que la conversion de frein à disque et le contrôle des bras de direction. Il discute également des défis rencontrés avec la carrosserie pour les nouveaux quarters arrière GM, la planification des nouveaux tubs de roue et la nécessité de remédier aux problèmes de corrosion dans le plancher de coffre. Le but ultime est d'améliorer la performance de la voiture, en particulier pour les burnouts, tout en préservant son aspect authentique. Le script est un mélange d'ingénierie, de patience et de détermination, qui montre le processus fastidieux mais récompensant de la restauration automobile.

Highlights

Dan is working on a Camaro from Speed Shop 67, which despite its current appearance, has significant underlying issues.

The car has been stripped down to its subframe, which has been cleaned, painted, and had a disc brake conversion.

Dan has been waiting for specific parts, including new fenders, a Cal Hood, doors, and quarter panel skins.

The Camaro came with a significant amount of sheet metal, some of which is still not on-site.

The new quarter panels are GM replacement style, which Dan plans to show in detail in the next video.

The decision to buy new quarter panels was influenced by the poor condition of the door jams, which were rotten and expensive to replace individually.

Dan plans a three-part video series to cover the extensive work required to fix the Camaro's issues.

The Camaro's trunk floor is rotten, and Dan decides to replace it with wider wheel tubs for better rust repair and tire clearance.

The wheel tubs will be wider, which requires careful measurement and cutting to ensure they fit correctly with the quarter panels.

Dan emphasizes the importance of fitting the new panels correctly to avoid future structural and aesthetic issues.

The Camaro's repair process involves a lot of cutting, welding, and grinding, which Dan finds nerve-wracking but necessary.

Dan plans to start by removing the car's deck lid and quarter panels to access the areas that need work.

The trunk supports and shock mounts will need to be addressed as part of the repair process.

Dan considers purchasing frame rails as a backup plan if the current ones cannot be salvaged.

The Camaro's repair is a complex process that involves not only replacing rusted parts but also structurally reinforcing the car.

Dan discusses the potential need to modify the frame rail to accommodate the new wheel tubs without compromising the car's integrity.

The repair work is expected to be time-consuming, with a lot of back-and-forth between cutting, fitting, and welding.

play00:00

Dan here did Speed Shop 67

play00:05

Camaro this thing's fixing to get a lot

play00:08

worse before it gets any better and I

play00:10

know it probably looks pretty good right

play00:11

now but it's a it's a

play00:14

facade cars rotten but nothing you know

play00:18

3 4 5 6 days where they're cutting and

play00:21

welding and grinding and screwing around

play00:23

can't fix right so this car we've been

play00:26

on and off a little bit and honestly

play00:28

I've been waiting to get to it cuz I've

play00:30

waiting on a few specific Parts the last

play00:33

video we did the whole front end there

play00:34

so if you missed that we took it apart

play00:37

cleaned the whole this is the original

play00:39

subframe cleaned it painted it um disc

play00:42

brake conversion tuar control arms the

play00:44

whole deal I do have steering for it but

play00:47

it's currently not on and uh well a

play00:50

little bit funny I probably did paint

play00:51

the firewall in that video I just

play00:53

haven't done it yet

play00:55

anyway this car when I got it came with

play00:57

a piggy pile full of sheet metal some of

play01:00

which I still don't even have here cuz

play01:02

the truck was full when I was bringing

play01:04

all this home or when I was getting

play01:05

dropped off I should say well over a

play01:07

year ago um so we have new fenders

play01:11

they're there and there it does have a

play01:12

new Cal Hood but again that's not that's

play01:15

not here header panel across there it's

play01:18

got new doors it came with quarter panel

play01:22

skins I purchased a new deck lid um on

play01:26

order still is a trunk floor just to

play01:29

Center section honestly it's not too bad

play01:32

and I have a couple of trunk

play01:34

dropouts and inside the car are wheel

play01:37

tubs inner and outer

play01:41

tubs and this is what I was waiting on

play01:43

which I just got yesterday actually or

play01:45

day before maybe and of course I stor it

play01:47

outside after opening it full GM

play01:49

replacement style quarter panels

play01:53

so uh I'll pull these out of the box and

play01:56

show you maybe I'll do that we'll get

play01:58

set up a little bit I'll show you

play01:59

exactly what all this stuff is and the

play02:01

uh the game plan for probably the next

play02:03

few videos I don't think they're going

play02:06

to be it might be like a three-part

play02:07

series just simply because of how much

play02:09

work has to happen and it's not going to

play02:11

be bite-sized pieces it's going to be

play02:14

upart and then back together and it's uh

play02:19

well a little nerve-wracking but

play02:21

whatever we'll cut it we'll weld it

play02:23

we'll fix

play02:24

it okay so um I got a luxurious hair in

play02:29

my M quarter panels right that's what I

play02:32

was doing Danny's holding the camera

play02:33

there I needed her so we picked up these

play02:35

quarter panels ultimately the decision

play02:37

was pretty easy to make because of this

play02:39

door actually so in this side it's

play02:43

rotten the door Jam's rotten all the way

play02:46

down there's nothing there and when I

play02:48

priced out what a door jam was going to

play02:51

cost it was like a couple hundred bucks

play02:54

for just that little piece of metal I

play02:55

was like well that's absolutely

play02:57

ridiculous and uh look good that

play03:01

closes and ultimately the the new corner

play03:03

panel comes with it and they were

play03:05

$400 that's like Canadian so I don't

play03:08

even know like Freedom Units it's 300

play03:10

bucks and if you're in

play03:13

California there's no

play03:15

shipping so we kept her in Cold Storage

play03:18

you know you got to freeze these why is

play03:20

snow all over it I left it outside oh

play03:23

gosh now a rule of thumb I'm going to

play03:25

break here I typically always start on

play03:27

the passenger side because you don't see

play03:29

the passor side every time you get in

play03:30

the car but the passor side's pretty

play03:33

rotten on this and the driver side's not

play03:34

so bad so I think I'll learn more on the

play03:36

driver's side so you can see how much

play03:41

more this panel is going to replace than

play03:44

just the skin so we have this whole

play03:46

section here go up into the uh into the

play03:50

sail panel it'll go it'll wrap right

play03:52

around into the door

play03:53

jam life will be easier and you can see

play03:55

it actually goes right into the trunk so

play03:58

all that

play04:00

is going to be pretty handy let's put

play04:02

this somewhere I won't step on

play04:03

it

play04:05

because not so much on this side we

play04:07

could probably get away with just a skin

play04:09

but why would you on this side we have

play04:12

the door jam which is

play04:14

rotten this whole section in here is all

play04:17

full of filler it's had something fall

play04:19

on it so all that'll be replaced

play04:22

now the way this panel is going to go

play04:27

on is it'll go here here so we'll join

play04:31

it in those sections under the under the

play04:33

deck lid it butts up here cuz there is a

play04:36

body line so we'll have to weld that and

play04:40

then it wraps in under the window which

play04:41

I think I'm going to pull the glass

play04:43

we'll have one seam across here which

play04:45

from Factory it's literally lapped and

play04:48

then they just let it it'll fit in this

play04:51

drip rail you actually they uh it's just

play04:54

fit in there and then they put that like

play04:55

ceiling culking in it it'll wrap around

play04:58

this has got some in structure in a

play05:00

structure down there we'll weld it down

play05:02

low down to the trunk

play05:04

drop and then I guess oh got seam here

play05:08

it all just will kind of fit in and do

play05:11

its thing so it will save me hours and

play05:14

hours and hours of body work if you put

play05:15

a skin on you're going to end up cutting

play05:17

it somewhere like that weld it put a

play05:20

bunch of heat in the panel then you got

play05:21

to float that all with filler this will

play05:24

not do that so that's a big part now

play05:27

that's the nice piece on the outside

play05:29

you're going to see and if that's all we

play05:30

had to do not too bad for a video the

play05:33

problem we have in here so the trunk

play05:37

floor is rotten but again that's coming

play05:39

with some trunk

play05:40

supports and then we have our wheel tubs

play05:43

now just on the edge of the wheel tubs

play05:45

got get by here babe it's a little

play05:47

rotten so right around there which is

play05:50

fixable but instead of doing a trunk

play05:52

floor and whatnot I thought it would be

play05:55

more economical to

play05:58

do uh wheel tubs wider wheel tubs so I

play06:03

believe these are I don't know inch and

play06:06

a half two inch something like that

play06:08

wider for inner tub so we'll end up

play06:10

cutting that section of floor out and

play06:13

putting that in and then I got outer

play06:20

tubs I don't know what's left and what's

play06:22

right but that will oh left hand there

play06:25

we go that flat bit joints that flat bit

play06:28

and then this section right here it's

play06:30

got this funny curve to it you see it

play06:32

matches the quarter it'll actually go

play06:34

right in the quarter panel so those two

play06:37

panels eliminate all the

play06:39

rust the issue is we're going to end up

play06:42

cutting all of that out which is a lot

play06:45

the wheel tub actually supports the

play06:47

trunk hinge and all sorts of stuff so

play06:49

it's going to get real floppy back there

play06:52

everything has to fit inner tub outer

play06:54

tub and then the quarter all have to

play06:56

sandwich together so if you have the

play06:58

inner tub like let's say a/2 in too far

play07:01

out and you keep building on that the

play07:03

quarter panel won't fit it'll stick out

play07:05

if you have it too far in obviously it

play07:07

won't touch so you got to be careful of

play07:10

those things how the quarter panel fits

play07:13

again it has to all fit flat we have it

play07:15

in line with our door there going be a

play07:18

lot of scooting around now I've never

play07:19

done a full quarter like that well I

play07:21

guess I did on the nomap it was a little

play07:22

bit different I've only ever bought the

play07:23

Skins cuz only ever afford the Skins cuz

play07:27

on Tri five Chevys a full quarter is

play07:29

like $122 or $1,300 which is just

play07:33

ridiculous so yeah anyways I ran that

play07:35

bust like local guy Randy helped me out

play07:37

big time Scott Cold War Motors carer can

play07:41

they've all done a bunch of these things

play07:42

I ran all by them and uh I'll do

play07:44

whatever I want now all right so that's

play07:46

the plan we're going to start stripping

play07:48

this car down deck Lids coming off

play07:51

quarter panels coming off and it'll be a

play07:53

lot of ugly cutting and whatnot in the

play07:55

side here but I'm

play07:57

hoping with everything removed listening

play07:59

on jack stands I should have a lot of uh

play08:02

room in there so that was a lot of

play08:04

talking I realized but that is the game

play08:05

plan and I think today we'll just start

play08:08

slashing and cutting and maybe we start

play08:10

tacking some things in we'd be pretty

play08:12

far ahead of the game but it'll be uh

play08:14

it'll be a busy few videos that's for

play08:21

[Music]

play08:28

sure

play08:31

[Music]

play09:01

okay so this here's what we're working

play09:02

with honestly if it wasn't for the the

play09:05

trunk section being kind of rusty it

play09:07

wouldn't be too bad just to put a set of

play09:09

outer wheel Tubs on a trunk drop and

play09:11

then put a corner panel on there be done

play09:13

with it it's got a little bit of rust

play09:14

down the bottom but not too bad we might

play09:16

just splice a piece in cuz well we're in

play09:19

there anyways um yeah I pulled out well

play09:23

I took the trim off the back glass again

play09:26

that quarter panel it actually goes over

play09:29

and then fits in this channel so the

play09:31

glass sits on it and typically these Rod

play09:34

out down at the bottom here it's got one

play09:36

little little hole there otherwise it's

play09:38

actually in really nice shape and what

play09:40

happens is I mean if you guys saw blow

play09:42

all the junk out but stuff just packs in

play09:45

there it sits in there gets wet and it

play09:47

rots out so this panel is very common to

play09:49

be rotten especially in this area if

play09:51

it's a vinyl top car

play09:53

especially so I think we'll probably

play09:55

pull the glass anyways this glass is

play09:58

pretty scratched up I really do like new

play10:01

glass in cars I'm fighting out this one

play10:03

I don't know if it's a keeper or not

play10:05

it's a cool car but how much money you

play10:07

want to spend that being said stuff's

play10:08

kind of cheap we're new for a windshield

play10:10

so maybe we'll put a backat glass in but

play10:11

if I can take it out without smashing it

play10:14

bonus we have this little piece here and

play10:16

the idea is you turn in or you put in

play10:19

you give it a 90 and then you kind of

play10:21

cut this rubber or whatever urethane out

play10:24

of it if we can and then we'll peel the

play10:27

glass out so that's what I'm going to

play10:28

attempt to do

play10:29

now if I can get that out then we can

play10:32

kind of test fit that panel just make

play10:34

sure it's about in the right spot which

play10:36

I'm pretty confident with and then just

play10:38

start blindly cutting until we're

play10:40

happy I do got to do something with the

play10:43

trunk supports as you can see it does

play10:47

go right there so we got to get that cut

play10:49

out and we have to kind of do some

play10:51

measuring to see how much wider these

play10:54

wheel tubs are than the ones we have to

play10:57

decide how much we're going to go in and

play10:59

around now these are obviously

play11:01

miscellaneous ones if you spend big

play11:04

bucks get some like Detroit Speed ones

play11:06

there's really good instructions but uh

play11:08

when you're cheap you uh learn the hard

play11:10

way but I'm pretty confident it should

play11:13

be pretty good like I said as long as

play11:14

we're fit in there everything's going

play11:16

good on the quarter panels the inside

play11:18

could be a little ugly but we'll take

play11:20

our time we'll figure it out by the

play11:21

other side we'll really have it figured

play11:24

[Music]

play11:27

out

play11:30

[Music]

play12:03

okay well there we have it so glasses

play12:05

are use a little bit of heat I bet if

play12:06

you had like nice 80° weather and you

play12:09

put it outside in the sun it would be

play12:10

much easier it was just hard so little

play12:12

heat pull it right out and again scraped

play12:14

it all up there's

play12:18

uh she's solid just that one little spot

play12:21

right there so we'll fix that up but all

play12:23

these little Clips are decent usually

play12:25

they all rot out so they have a little

play12:27

Tang that kind of fit on and then

play12:28

typically you kind of fill them full of

play12:30

urethane then the glass hold it in and

play12:33

they a little snap kind of you know

play12:35

friction fit deals for the trim so yeah

play12:39

that we have all sorts of daylight in

play12:40

there now so you can see right there the

play12:43

the Crunchies we have to get rid of

play12:44

where the shock is and all that all has

play12:46

to come out it's too bad but uh such is

play12:50

life so I don't know what I'll do next I

play12:54

think I might just go ahead hang the

play12:57

quter panel on see what it looks looks

play12:59

like and then ultimately I think I'm

play13:01

just going to start kind of blindly

play13:03

cutting as long as I stay on this side

play13:06

of the

play13:07

line and you know I think if I kind of

play13:10

cut around here around here down here

play13:13

we'll keep a lot of structure in the in

play13:16

the car you know kind of cut up into

play13:18

here and down there that'll give me the

play13:21

most amount of access into the

play13:23

ugliness as

play13:25

possible uh worst case we can also cut

play13:28

this out if we want this package tree

play13:30

cut it out weld it back in I'd rather

play13:31

not it's already had some custom 6x9s

play13:34

grafted in with an

play13:36

axe and uh yeah we got to do some

play13:40

measuring and figure out how much wider

play13:44

we got to go which should be pretty cool

play13:46

I got to say the mini tubs I did them on

play13:49

that 57 it was a lot of work it's kind

play13:50

of ugly work but it's so freaking cool

play13:53

and you put so much Tire in there um we

play13:56

also decide here I hope it doesn't go

play13:59

past the frame rail some of them you

play14:00

have to notch the frame rail I'm hope

play14:01

these just go to the frame rail and

play14:04

we'll kind of keep carrying on from

play14:06

there I also bought some stuff for

play14:08

replacement pieces underneath um leaf

play14:11

spring hangers which will come down the

play14:13

road and locally where I go stuff Walker

play14:15

Auto they actually have frame rails in

play14:18

stock so old regler has my he has my

play14:22

number so if it all goes to crap I may

play14:24

up buy those they weren't even that much

play14:25

money I forgot what you said they were a

play14:26

couple hundred bucks 150 bucks each

play14:27

something like that

play14:29

and uh I don't know if I'll do the whole

play14:31

thing but maybe just the back and the

play14:33

front kind of graft them in or whatever

play14:35

we have to you know make a pretty nice

play14:37

car of of this thing this is the ugly

play14:39

bit the rest all just bolt on

play14:41

so yeah let's start uh fitting her

play14:43

together see what we end up

play14:46

[Music]

play14:57

with

play15:00

[Music]

play15:05

[Applause]

play15:07

[Music]

play15:08

[Applause]

play15:09

[Music]

play15:27

n

play15:30

okay so now we kind of know what we're

play15:33

dealing with as far as I'm concerned now

play15:35

there are some concerns here fire and

play15:37

all that we have some miscellaneous we

play15:39

have to take an inner door panel off

play15:41

there or whatever you want to call it

play15:43

trim panel um you know so I was talking

play15:47

to Scott Co roller Scott and he gave

play15:49

some really good advice he's like what's

play15:50

your goal with this thing you ask him

play15:52

how I should do this I mean there

play15:54

there's 50 different ways to do this

play15:55

corter panel and I'm sure a lot of you

play15:57

guys are going to do it a different way

play15:58

than I would have and that's fine and he

play16:00

says what's your plan what's your goal I

play16:02

said to do burnouts and he goes okay so

play16:05

you're looking for the fastest or

play16:07

shortest Road from here to burnouts said

play16:09

yeah well do whatever you think is best

play16:11

obviously drilling out spot welds to

play16:12

scoot around is the proper way or the

play16:14

body shop way or whatever way you want

play16:16

to call

play16:18

it little bit of structure here e kind

play16:20

of cut through that

play16:22

um and you know for me spot well drill

play16:26

and I'm not against it I've done it a

play16:28

few times

play16:29

I find it very timec consuming and

play16:30

ultimately I honestly think it really

play16:32

beats up the panel that you're trying to

play16:35

you know take off if you ever want to

play16:37

reuse it so we got to figure a way to

play16:39

take this off somewhat decent because

play16:42

this back structure stays on and that's

play16:45

what's going to join it so we got to

play16:46

look and see how that all goes together

play16:49

um in here we got a you know a joint

play16:54

there here and here and I think what I'm

play16:57

going to do

play16:59

is just kind of Blaze all this out and

play17:02

leave some of the metal on on the panel

play17:05

just to start we'll we'll grind that off

play17:08

after um the trunk support I think I'm

play17:10

just going to literally slice it right

play17:13

across or I guess I could get in here

play17:15

I'm not really too sure what the best

play17:16

way of doing that is get that all out

play17:19

before I do that I am going to run a bar

play17:22

side to side just to kind of hold it I

play17:24

do I'm going to do one side at a time so

play17:27

if we get this side all tacked together

play17:28

and then a bar that and then the other

play17:30

side it'll maintain its strength just so

play17:32

it doesn't go all floppy and whatnot so

play17:35

that'll be good I do a little bit of

play17:36

measuring on this these I read on them

play17:38

they're 6 in uh wide supposedly and I

play17:42

believe I did some

play17:43

measuring this is the joint right there

play17:46

was 3 in and then if you go from the

play17:48

edge of the wheel tub to this kind of

play17:51

little frame piece where the shock is is

play17:53

3 in which would make

play17:55

sense that those wheel tubs you cut it

play17:58

all out and then you'd be right up

play17:59

against the frame which that that just

play18:02

makes sense to me right why would you if

play18:05

you're going to be doing like a mini tub

play18:08

you want to just make sure the tub goes

play18:09

right to the frame you start going wider

play18:11

than that well now you're into the frame

play18:13

and you're almost backing the car like

play18:16

you're moving the frame rails you're

play18:17

doing all sorts of goofiness so if you

play18:19

do that and if you move the Lea Springs

play18:21

not going move the Lea Springs you put a

play18:23

big honk and Tire in here we're just

play18:25

doing it so you can put a big tire in

play18:26

we're going to be limited by the leaf

play18:27

spring but just to kind of cheat the uh

play18:30

the rust repair cuz it'll all be up in

play18:33

up in here and what not where the shock

play18:35

shock mount is we're going have to

play18:36

change where the shocks are I think what

play18:37

I'll probably do down the road well put

play18:40

a bar across the frame rails and just do

play18:42

like a an angle shock

play18:45

deal yeah so I think we're going to go

play18:47

ahead and just start cutting this up I'm

play18:50

going to take that inside panel out and

play18:52

we'll come back and just start blindly

play18:54

cutting all this garbage out to see what

play18:57

we end up with and and uh start kind of

play18:59

test spitting in some new panels be cool

play19:02

if we can get a inside panel or two

play19:03

tacked in today we'll see oh and look at

play19:06

the amount of filler back

play19:07

here brazing that's all body filler so

play19:12

you can see kind of that ugly repair

play19:14

we're going to up doing this panel as

play19:16

well but that'll be that'll be quarter

play19:18

panel let's get the wheel tub

play19:27

dialed

play19:31

[Music]

play20:06

okay so I made a fair amount of progress

play20:09

in eliminating some bits and pieces but

play20:14

uh I think it should be pretty good so

play20:17

what I'm going to leave for today kind

play20:18

of think about it overnight maybe do a

play20:20

little little Googling

play20:23

um but the outer wheelhouse isn't going

play20:27

to change so from a wheel hose to

play20:29

quarter panel should be very simple both

play20:32

panels sandwich together on the inside

play20:35

of this

play20:37

bracing um so and this isn't changing so

play20:40

as long as this remains where it should

play20:41

be which is going to and we we

play20:43

accomplish that everything else will fit

play20:45

all the cutting is be done obviously on

play20:47

the inside and I'm pretty sure that's

play20:50

not a tape measure I know it wasn't a

play20:52

tape measure I wasn't sure pretty sure

play20:55

that's like just under you know 2 and

play20:58

3/4

play21:00

in was that was that not good for you

play21:04

so I'm I'm thinking if I cut it right

play21:07

around that area I should be able to get

play21:09

the tub to fit and carry on uh from

play21:12

there but that's a tomorrow job a lot

play21:14

more cutting and grinding to be done all

play21:16

this has to come out which is going to

play21:18

be ugly this is just real uh real quick

play21:21

and dirty you kind of see what we're

play21:22

looking at but if we can accomplish that

play21:24

I think the wheel tub can they said go

play21:26

in they're only just spot well together

play21:28

so it should be pretty fraking simple

play21:31

and

play21:32

then I'm thinking I might panel Bond

play21:35

some of that on there so I might go down

play21:37

the old uh Auto Body store and see what

play21:39

I can find for panel bod I know it's not

play21:41

cheap but if we're going to be doing it

play21:44

all in Hidden areas we can keep a bunch

play21:45

of heat out of the car keep it from uh

play21:48

warping itself those are my thoughts

play21:50

anyways we'll be back at tomorrow and uh

play21:53

get these tubs in

play21:55

there seeing well it's the next day and

play21:59

I did do a little bit of thinking on

play22:02

this not much and we got to kind of

play22:05

figure out the way it's going to go in

play22:07

so I kind of butchered it all out I have

play22:10

to clean up all this old wheel tub and

play22:13

everything on the back side of all this

play22:15

structure and whatnot that all has to

play22:16

kind of come off some way somehow so I

play22:19

got a lot of grinding ahead of me and

play22:22

realistically we have to take meat off

play22:24

on the inside so that this lip is on the

play22:29

other side of all this kind of bracing

play22:33

and

play22:33

whatnot so it's going to be a lot of

play22:36

back and forth I'm hoping we W going to

play22:39

notch the frame rail honestly if we do I

play22:42

think I might just narrow up the wheel

play22:44

tubs a little we'll just kind of see I

play22:47

don't want to do that so we're not

play22:49

trying to run the absolute biggest tire

play22:51

here we were trying to make it easier uh

play22:54

for myself so plating a frame rail

play22:56

doesn't seem like what I really want to

play22:57

do

play22:59

but we'll just see it seems like it

play23:00

should fit no problem at the front here

play23:03

cuz we got lots of room by the frame but

play23:06

then here like that's you know a hand

play23:09

width if that's what has to happen uh

play23:12

we'll be into the frame rail for sure at

play23:13

the back we won't it should be same

play23:16

thing as well not too bad so we'll have

play23:18

do a little bit of playing we may

play23:19

splicing and cutting and doing whatever

play23:21

but we'll get in there and uh ultimately

play23:24

I guess see where we end up and we have

play23:26

to cut the frame rail I guess that's

play23:27

what we're doing

play23:28

I'd rather not but let's set the camera

play23:31

up and do a whole bunch of cutting

play23:33

grinding well not really any welding

play23:35

cutting and grinding for the time being

play23:37

and see if we can get this panel fit in

play23:40

and then that panel we get those kind of

play23:43

in there where we're happy with them and

play23:45

we can start the remainder of the cut

play23:47

here I was thinking about gluing this

play23:49

all together but I didn't get any so if

play23:52

we're welding stuff on tonight we have

play23:55

the electric glue gun over there with a

play23:57

full tank of welding gas so it'll be

play23:59

[Music]

play24:03

[Applause]

play24:06

[Music]

play24:26

fine

play24:31

[Music]

play24:50

well I ended up doing kind of endless

play24:52

cutting and the midle gets kind of one

play24:55

of those things where she a little

play24:58

roached but you want to make sure you

play25:00

get into the clean metal right so we got

play25:03

a few gaps and I think what the problem

play25:06

is my problem is this kit I believe

play25:12

needs to have this back section of the

play25:14

frame rail recessed in and that is

play25:17

something I am just not interested in

play25:19

doing whatsoever this is not going to be

play25:22

a drag car we're trying to put the

play25:23

biggest tire in we're trying to make it

play25:25

easier for rer bear that's I got this

play25:28

stuff and I mean the wheel tubs the

play25:29

inner tubs they were junk anyways this

play25:32

is the

play25:34

uh it had all this kind of schmuck all

play25:37

over it and stuff

play25:39

so both tubs had to be done anyways now

play25:42

what I did so the frame rail goes up and

play25:44

around it's got two ears on it I trimmed

play25:46

down the ear as much as I could to get

play25:48

everything uh as far over as possible

play25:50

and honestly it fits pretty good

play25:52

everything is on this side of that

play25:55

little brace I got to grind down in

play25:56

there still but we pretty much okay I

play25:59

took this back brace out just to get

play26:00

things

play26:02

in but as you can see we're kind of the

play26:04

whole the whole way around we have a

play26:06

little bit of floor repair to

play26:09

do inside the car just on just on the

play26:13

side there it was just you know I just

play26:14

cut it out so it was wherever the rust

play26:16

was I cut out you know we weren't going

play26:18

to try and join it now what I think is

play26:21

happening the wheel tubs have a very

play26:24

strange shape to them and it's it's hard

play26:25

on the eyeball if you look at this side

play26:29

if that'll show or not where's my

play26:32

light it's got a

play26:35

goofy they kind of kick up and go down

play26:38

that way which is what we have here you

play26:41

can see it looks like it's almost at a

play26:44

an angle which we do have

play26:46

there quite

play26:48

similar but I think what's happening is

play26:52

right down in this bottom

play26:54

section it's kind of hitting and it's

play26:57

causing it it to have more of a kick out

play26:59

than we need so I think what I'm going

play27:01

to do is I'm actually going to trim a

play27:03

little section like that and have the

play27:06

wheel tub sit on top of or right up

play27:08

against the floor instead of having like

play27:11

a little apron going down which really

play27:15

isn't terrible I think it'll be okay um

play27:18

the reason I think all that this is the

play27:21

outer wheel tub and this is supposed to

play27:24

be in line while this is supposed to

play27:26

attach that so we're out that couple of

play27:29

inches I think it's just a tweak cuz

play27:32

obviously everything fits up there is

play27:33

nothing's perfect don't get me wrong but

play27:35

we're in the ballpark so if I can trim

play27:37

the inner

play27:39

tub kick that over this will all just

play27:42

kind of fit

play27:43

now that being

play27:46

said the next step is going to be before

play27:49

we're just kind of blindly cutting is

play27:51

making sure the quarter panel is going

play27:53

to be happy now this one's not

play27:55

bad it sticks out a little no I still a

play27:57

lot of cutting to do and messing around

play27:59

and

play28:01

grinding but this quarter

play28:04

now line it up with the

play28:09

tub just got to go ahead just here so

play28:13

I'm holding everything together by the

play28:15

wheel

play28:16

tub and we're doing not bad everything

play28:19

kind of lines up it obviously has to go

play28:21

in and under but there's rust there at

play28:24

the

play28:26

back kind of same deal it's got to go in

play28:29

a little but I think if we can move that

play28:32

wheel tub

play28:34

just that's the technical term we'll be

play28:37

fine um so I think the next step is more

play28:42

cutting so I might just put some Vice

play28:44

cripts on that just to kind of hold it

play28:45

where I think it's going to be happier

play28:47

where I think it's the

play28:48

best we'll have to do door jam the back

play28:52

section get all that crap

play28:54

out uh the drop down trunk drop

play28:58

down and into the sail pan this car has

play29:01

got to come apart a lot more yet which

play29:03

is kind of

play29:05

scary but if we do that and we vice grip

play29:07

that in there and we can get the quarter

play29:09

panel kind of fitting where we're happy

play29:12

then it's time to start welding all

play29:13

together

play29:15

so a little more

play29:17

dissection wow this is quite a big job

play29:20

just really come apart in the

play29:24

[Music]

play29:26

hurry

play29:28

[Music]

play29:56

I

play30:00

[Music]

play30:26

oh

play30:34

so we went back and forth a bazillion

play30:37

times just kind of eyeballing how much

play30:39

to cut based on what the quarter panel

play30:41

is now the quarter panel's on the

play30:43

batteries are all dead we got to charge

play30:44

a little bit and I need something to eat

play30:46

um but realistically up here we're not

play30:49

too bad I'll probably end up just

play30:50

trimming this and and Welding it you

play30:52

know getting all the the solder out um

play30:55

this will need a little bit of trimming

play30:56

to fit a still up too much of the old

play30:58

panel we'll cut some of that down so it

play30:59

fits nicely uh up in here it'll just you

play31:02

know Jam itself in and we'll you know a

play31:04

couple of plug welds

play31:06

maybe around here actually fits really

play31:08

nice if I kind of clamp it it will go in

play31:10

and it'll fix whatever rust we have with

play31:12

the door jam so that's perfect we got to

play31:14

line up this little hole um with the

play31:18

backside so we got to make sure we get

play31:19

that taken care of so the little thread

play31:22

piece will go now the issue we're

play31:23

running into it's back here you can see

play31:26

this Gap we are buted up against the

play31:29

wheel tub as

play31:32

expected so it cannot go any further

play31:35

over it looks like a just a giant wheel

play31:36

tub there

play31:38

in

play31:40

so to fix that I'm just going to go

play31:42

ahead and slice the wheel tub a little

play31:44

bit slice it over and have it sit on top

play31:47

so not as intended but realistically

play31:51

this is uh it's like a mix of just

play31:53

replacing the wheel tub with a factory

play31:55

one cuz we're going to get more than the

play31:57

factory is going to give us by probably

play32:00

you know inch or two but not the full

play32:01

like 3 or 4 inches this tub is uh able

play32:04

to

play32:05

accomplish but that's why it's so

play32:07

important not to just start welding

play32:09

pieces in even though it it kind of fit

play32:11

you'd run into this situation have a

play32:13

real headache on your

play32:15

hand so I have a lot of screwing around

play32:17

to do um I'm just going to go ahe and

play32:20

Tuck this in near plug weld in there

play32:23

maybe actually from underneath I can

play32:24

probably do and that'll be good this you

play32:27

know fit in this area the stamping is a

play32:29

little weak here we got to clean that up

play32:31

and do whatever but no one's ever going

play32:32

to see that right I mean it's the inside

play32:34

of the trunk lid uh these this looks

play32:36

like it'll go pretty good and butt up um

play32:40

probably have to cut some of this out I

play32:43

don't know what we're going to do there

play32:44

we'll we'll have to make it fit and kind

play32:45

of weld it there was some filler it's

play32:48

actually a fair bit right here

play32:49

unfortunately down here's not too bad

play32:51

and up here wasn't too bad so obviously

play32:53

something had happened and there's a

play32:55

flange on each side so we'll see if we

play32:56

can plug weld all that together as much

play32:59

as we possibly can so there's a lot of

play33:02

screw around do there I understand now

play33:03

why the gluing would be kind of nice for

play33:06

sure but we're not going to do that the

play33:09

idea of being able to clamp it and and

play33:10

Tack it and all that kind of appeals to

play33:13

me but yeah I didn't take the trunk drop

play33:15

out yet uh off so I have to do that cuz

play33:18

the trunk drop will go onto the quarter

play33:21

but realistically I think I want to

play33:23

leave that on there until we get the

play33:24

wheel tubs fit cuz that'll be a good a

play33:26

good marker and we've made a fair bit of

play33:29

progress been a lot of grinding a lot of

play33:30

cutting a couple hours worth anyways

play33:32

which isn't terrible but just think now

play33:36

this will all be filled we'll join it in

play33:40

here this will be plug welded across the

play33:42

side we'll join in here I'll Weld and

play33:46

grind we'll obviously join it in there

play33:48

and there and then this section here

play33:52

there's a few we got to drill some holes

play33:53

in and plug weld it to the structure and

play33:55

then along the side down down there the

play33:58

only body work be needed is this little

play34:01

section and then I don't know what I'm

play34:04

going to do with the sill there's

play34:05

supposed to be a body line but I think

play34:07

the way the car is going together I

play34:08

won't be able to weld it's going have to

play34:10

kind of weld and then run uh a grind

play34:13

line through it to give it like a

play34:15

simulated body line but uh yeah we're

play34:21

making a lot of progress I don't want to

play34:23

jinx it but I think later on tonight we

play34:24

should be able to have the quarter and

play34:26

all that kind dealt with we'll have some

play34:28

interior work to deal with for sure

play34:30

matching the floors up and a little bit

play34:32

of structure issue on the side pan but

play34:35

very minor and really doesn't have to

play34:38

look super nice I mean we'll we'll weld

play34:41

a little panel in there seem seal it

play34:43

undercoat it and then be covered by

play34:45

panels and carpet so who really cares

play34:48

what that's all going to look like but

play34:50

from the outside we're making progress

play34:52

so break time be back in a little bit

play34:56

okay so I've got the panel fitting

play34:58

pretty good but a lot lot just on off on

play35:00

off on off on off trying to make it fit

play35:02

better and I'm going to carry on doing

play35:04

that but uh I've got a few marks I'm

play35:06

going to you know take out some of this

play35:09

trunk drop uh we're just going to lap it

play35:11

over but that all has to be you know

play35:14

ground down a little bit and then

play35:15

cleaned

play35:16

up um this section here I just did some

play35:19

Marks here so I can drill out the

play35:21

backside so I can plug weld it then we

play35:23

got to grind that down and here I did a

play35:26

little Mark

play35:27

this is where this section of the steel

play35:29

has to Pivot over so it fits on the in

play35:32

the window channel so we got to kind a

play35:34

little cut that grind that all down and

play35:37

uh yeah I mean it's fitting in the wheel

play35:40

tubs I'm pretty happy with it we got to

play35:44

do a little bit of cleaning up on the

play35:45

back side the tubs are in and they're

play35:48

all clamped together so these guys be

play35:50

plug welded in the trunk drop is in line

play35:54

so that's pretty good um oh I'll show

play35:57

you here I did I I screwed up so shocker

play36:01

but anything can be

play36:03

fixed the wheel tub itself I took a

play36:06

little bit too much out um what I did is

play36:09

I actually ground the trunk

play36:12

down right to the stupid metal and

play36:16

everything um the flange I cut that out

play36:19

I just welded it right to the trunk

play36:21

floor seam while it it so it's it's

play36:23

strong now what it needs is essentially

play36:25

the piece I cut out kind of just you

play36:27

know put back in or or I don't know what

play36:29

we're going to do there but that's

play36:31

there's lots of room in there now and

play36:33

that can be done on the lift at some

play36:35

point uh or I mean we do with the the

play36:37

quarter off just a little bit of

play36:39

trimming to do in here on the

play36:43

bottom I have to drill all here and then

play36:45

here to make sure that's all secure and

play36:47

there's like plug welded and I have to

play36:49

make sure this little hole fits I did

play36:51

drop that down in the last panel when it

play36:54

was all together so I'll probably just

play36:56

sand that down won't be Factory but you

play36:58

know what no one will notice we'll have

play37:00

to do a little bit of fitting in here

play37:01

cuz that's where it was Rusty so we're

play37:03

not going to have quite as much as we

play37:05

need got to put a patch panel in but

play37:08

yeah once that's clamped in should be

play37:09

pretty good trim out down here in the

play37:12

fold and yeah honestly a pretty good fit

play37:16

I'm pretty happy with it we got a you

play37:18

know a lot of room for a big tire in

play37:20

there we could go just a little bit

play37:21

bigger and you know what if any time if

play37:23

we

play37:24

want um simply trim that we could trim

play37:27

out this frame rail and put a huge hin

play37:30

Tire on

play37:32

it inside like I said I went a little a

play37:36

little big but that's where there was

play37:38

rust so we'll have to fill that in which

play37:40

is pretty M it's actually almost like a

play37:41

square cut wheel tub so that's pretty

play37:44

good I mean yeah I'm pretty happy I

play37:48

think it's uh a lot of scoo around I am

play37:51

glad I did this side first I I

play37:53

definitely feel like I'm learning a lot

play37:57

oh I got to drill all this out so I can

play37:58

plug well that um definitely learned a

play38:01

lot and I think it'll transfer over to

play38:03

the other side very well cuz that's how

play38:05

it's so rotten it's definitely iffy

play38:07

there's a little bit inside structure we

play38:08

got to take care of but on this one

play38:10

we're just going to do from the inside

play38:11

there's no point screwing around with it

play38:13

and that's that so I think I'm going to

play38:16

go ahead and take this on and off two or

play38:18

three more times make sure I'm happy

play38:19

with the fitment and then uh if that's

play38:21

good we'll come back when we weld in the

play38:23

wheel tub maybe and then we'll you know

play38:26

get is tacked on I don't think I'm going

play38:28

to just go Hog Wild on this we'll just

play38:31

kind of you know get it multiple tacked

play38:33

on so it's on there and then on the next

play38:35

video we can start on the other side

play38:36

just to make just to make sure in case I

play38:39

missed something you know you can drill

play38:40

out 10 or 15 tack welds but if it's seam

play38:43

welded and all that it becomes quite

play38:45

ugly and I don't want to do that but uh

play38:48

looks the same as it did before but it's

play38:50

it's going to be a nice

play38:51

[Music]

play38:55

repair

play38:57

[Music]

play39:25

n

play39:32

[Music]

play40:02

so where we left we had just uh all

play40:06

these tubs in so they're they're in they

play40:08

all permanante I went around just kind

play40:10

of cleaned everything up uh I got the

play40:12

trunk drop off out and I was just one

play40:15

little tiny hole in the frame rail at

play40:18

the very far back

play40:20

so I don't know if now it's time to fix

play40:22

it or not and this actually back panel

play40:25

looks like it's been kind of crunched

play40:26

and fixed up so that might be coming out

play40:30

as well but that's can kind of be done I

play40:32

don't know if it's the just down here is

play40:35

is no bueno if we can change just that

play40:36

bottom PE or the whole the whole unit

play40:39

either

play40:39

way it's uh it's the way it's going to

play40:42

be uh I'm going to grind I'm not going

play40:44

to put the trunk drop out in so I'll

play40:46

still be able to get up in there with

play40:47

lots of tools and again I think I'm just

play40:48

going to kind of tack the quarter panel

play40:50

on so if we have to take it right off we

play40:52

can I don't know what the plan is there

play40:56

um like I said there's some local frame

play40:57

rails I can get to put in but they're so

play41:00

solid just right the very far back and I

play41:02

do want to drop the front of the leaf

play41:04

spring and see up in that pocket as well

play41:07

cuz that's really tend to rot so we

play41:09

might just section one in or do whatever

play41:11

but car's solid it hasn't moved or

play41:13

twisted or done anything um I think

play41:15

we're pretty much ready to put it in I

play41:18

got all my holes drilled for where I'm

play41:19

going to kind of go this is a bit of a

play41:20

funny one I don't know how this would

play41:21

have been joined behind the

play41:24

uh the trunk hand taking all that out

play41:27

hinge weld it in it's all sturdy there

play41:30

I'll probably plug there and then like

play41:33

seam weld all in here so this little

play41:35

section won't be welded I can't imagine

play41:37

oh you know what mightbe be able to get

play41:38

underneath and just kind of on the edge

play41:40

it won't be super critical and then we

play41:43

got that all cleaned up and taken care

play41:45

of don't worry I'm not going to paint

play41:46

this I don't you don't want any weld

play41:48

through primer in there um got this all

play41:51

cleaned up all around here so we should

play41:54

be able to plug that in

play41:56

this this panel's off 15 times but it's

play42:00

all uh you know drilled out for the plug

play42:03

Wells uh oh I plug weld it around the

play42:05

wheel Arch or drill out for plug well

play42:07

around the wheel Arch so now you got to

play42:09

do is just clean up the wheel well the

play42:11

tub the outer tub and a little bit where

play42:13

the trunk drop down is and it should be

play42:15

final fitment for this thing so I'll do

play42:17

a little bit more cleaning and then

play42:19

bring it back when it's going

play42:21

on okay we have some I'm not going to

play42:23

say fitment issues could be the panel

play42:24

could be the car could be me

play42:26

but it's pretty dang on

play42:29

close now the way I look at it so at the

play42:33

front here we're like right in line you

play42:37

know what I mean like that's kind of

play42:38

what the other one look like flush

play42:40

that's pretty good we got a decent

play42:42

little line here I got to push this in

play42:44

with a

play42:45

screwdriver uh I ended up cutting in

play42:47

here just so it would fall down I

play42:48

actually got to pop that up a little but

play42:51

that's that's decent where we run into

play42:54

an issue is right here here so this

play42:56

wants to kind of go down a little but

play42:58

it's hitting something underneath so I

play43:00

might have to kind of get in

play43:02

there this maybe it's not that bad I

play43:06

feel like it might be scooched that way

play43:08

just a little bit but we go around back

play43:11

here and this is right align no problem

play43:15

but then down here it seems like it's

play43:17

kind of pushed out but that being said

play43:19

this is clearly was full of filler and

play43:21

all sorts of ugliness

play43:23

so I think what we have to do is put the

play43:25

deck lid on and test fit it before we go

play43:28

to Hog

play43:30

Wild but regardless everything kind of

play43:33

fits there oh down here I might have a

play43:35

little bit of trim to do but it seem it

play43:38

seems pretty good so that's that uh I

play43:42

haven't tested the door yet but I assume

play43:44

that should fit okay my little plug

play43:47

welds all line up with stuff so we can

play43:49

you lots of meat in there uh the window

play43:53

Gap should be good I mean really I think

play43:56

I think we're in the ballpark down here

play43:59

has to get just kind of pushed over a

play44:01

little but everything is pretty close I

play44:03

not that we can kind of tack it and see

play44:06

what we end up with I cut out the trunk

play44:10

drop down that's on the floor there cuz

play44:13

the way these

play44:15

work is it actually is part of the trunk

play44:17

floor so it's recessed so that'll fit

play44:20

together so I just got to literally plug

play44:21

well that in it be nothing to

play44:24

do but yeah I think that is the plan to

play44:29

maybe do that put a couple of plug welds

play44:31

around just get it kind of set we'll

play44:34

start working on the other

play44:36

side and then we'll test fit the deck

play44:39

lid cuz it might be one of those things

play44:41

where it's push here you know push there

play44:44

whatever

play44:45

um and like I said if I have take the

play44:47

quarter off to do the the frame rail not

play44:51

the end of the world but we really have

play44:52

a fair bit of strength to it even just a

play44:54

few tack Wells really make a big

play44:56

difference so I think that's I'm going

play44:57

to do I might just ugly tack it on it

play44:58

won't be in all the the plug welded

play45:01

spots cuz plug welds are harder to get

play45:04

off once you once you get those in there

play45:05

and this is like semi

play45:08

semi-permanent right so let's get the

play45:10

welder dialed up and we'll get this all

play45:12

together but am I'm like 85% happy with

play45:15

it and

play45:17

honestly it's probably going to be fine

play45:19

I don't know how exact exact these

play45:21

panels are in this car like I said it's

play45:23

sure a little rough it's clearly been

play45:25

hitting the back

play45:26

but let make it

play45:32

[Music]

play45:54

happen

play45:56

[Music]

play46:29

I'm not going to lie this panel does not

play46:32

fit

play46:33

great at the back here we have

play46:36

a giant Gap but uh I mean it's buted

play46:42

right up against that it's buted right

play46:46

up against that but what I did here is I

play46:50

put this is the old panel it'll it'll

play46:53

lap over it and we have space

play46:57

so that's strange so then what I

play47:02

did is I just measure it real

play47:06

quick and

play47:08

uh you know if you just go like a couple

play47:10

inches back let's say so that's

play47:13

like I don't know 2 and

play47:17

7/8 to the to the peak there if we go

play47:20

kind of the same idea it's like 3 and

play47:24

A4

play47:26

uh if we go at the front here we're

play47:29

right on 4 in that's really closer it

play47:31

looks like it fits

play47:36

better yeah we're right on 4 in but then

play47:39

I mean you know just kind of take some

play47:41

random spots here right the very what's

play47:43

the very end

play47:44

at 2 and

play47:51

3/4 it's probably close to 3 in so

play47:58

uh there's not I don't know what I can

play48:03

do here um again the trunk so I put the

play48:06

trunk LD on but it fits not bad there

play48:09

like it's a relatively straight go man

play48:12

this thing is Lumpy I can feel

play48:14

it

play48:15

so up here fits pretty good I mean it's

play48:18

got a bit of a gap but we can just weld

play48:21

in there do whatever we got to do

play48:23

honestly it fits good there but

play48:26

this it like opens up like this didn't

play48:29

line up here to here I'm like I was

play48:30

trying to get it to line up but like

play48:31

look that is a nice Gap but it goes to

play48:34

hell here like this panel

play48:37

is not for me so back

play48:43

here I me what we can do is split it

play48:46

widen it weld it and then fill it with

play48:51

that cuz that's

play48:54

uh

play48:56

I can't think of a reason why that would

play48:58

not fit

play49:02

proper in this wait I hey I trust me I

play49:05

can I can mess up a panel with the best

play49:07

of them down here it's a little iffy um

play49:11

but that for me I think this this

play49:13

panel's got a bunch of filler in it and

play49:15

stuff so I think that's the problem with

play49:17

that but this section here that's just

play49:20

not the same as the other side so we'll

play49:23

have to measure the other

play49:30

panel I guess instead of splitting it we

play49:32

could just

play49:33

add add in here which be kind of

play49:38

ugly for

play49:41

sure which is unfortunate cuz actually

play49:43

the rest of it fits pretty good

play49:47

um that's pretty good Gap as far as I'm

play49:51

concerned the door has to go for just a

play49:54

little bit at the bottom but that's

play49:56

pretty pretty dog on decent like say

play49:59

we're lined up um the

play50:03

window does its thing there's room for

play50:05

its little rubber so that's fine up in

play50:08

here it's pretty nice I got to whack

play50:10

that down and and weld it and then that

play50:12

just gets filled with some some SE some

play50:14

seam sealer this I think would be easy

play50:17

to fill this is funny it's got a bit of

play50:19

a hump here but I think that's just

play50:22

again it drops down it's such a crevice

play50:24

in there we can well that no problem

play50:27

that I'm happy with this is just a

play50:29

little

play50:30

high but honestly I think a little zip

play50:32

cut in there will fix that or I might be

play50:35

able to just put a clamp on

play50:37

it I think the glass will fit fine

play50:40

that'll be covered yeah

play50:43

so the back of this panel is

play50:46

not not super stoked on that I think

play50:50

what I'm going to do here we'll grab the

play50:51

other panel from outside right quick and

play50:54

we'll just measure me and see what it

play50:56

looks like cuz I don't want to cut this

play50:59

one off if that's the case I didn't even

play51:01

think to measure it um I've never had to

play51:04

do that before in my life but it is

play51:05

straight

play51:08

different so

play51:10

yes you know what

play51:12

probably if I zip it right on the

play51:15

edge and just kind of work it over tack

play51:18

it then just fill that strip in is

play51:20

probably the way to fix that but we'll

play51:23

leave that for now and uh

play51:26

I want to measure this real quick that's

play51:27

where we're going to end the video on a

play51:29

big old fail did I offend you with that

play51:33

comment just not in a great mood so I

play51:37

pulled out the other quarter panel just

play51:40

to kind

play51:41

of size it up and uh this one at the

play51:47

very at the back were just on 3

play51:51

in and like we're just going from the

play51:53

inside to the and it just gets bigger so

play51:56

the smallest that ever is is 3 in and it

play51:58

kind of goes up to about four at the end

play52:02

which if you look at this one it's kind

play52:04

of hard to tell cuz of the body line but

play52:05

we're basically I'd say about 3 in and

play52:09

then sure you

play52:10

know well that being said it's 3 and A4

play52:14

about there and that's yeah probably

play52:17

close this has filler on it cuz it's

play52:20

double lap so that one's pretty close

play52:22

meanwhile if we go to this

play52:24

side

play52:26

at the very

play52:31

edge like we're 2 and 78 something like

play52:35

that that was 3 and a/4 is where it

play52:37

started or 3 and E so there you know and

play52:41

we don't get we're still not at this is

play52:44

craziness look at this so we get on

play52:47

here like we're just following this kind

play52:49

of line we're under 3 in so 2 and

play52:53

3/4 2 and 78 to look there before we hit

play52:58

3 in

play53:02

so that's a bummer because honestly this

play53:06

side could have got away with a

play53:09

skin and and would have been probably I

play53:11

would have the tubs and all that but I

play53:12

could have skinned it right there and

play53:15

just Bodywork this section I guess it is

play53:18

what it is I'll have to Bodywork this

play53:20

section Scott's getting a call talking

play53:24

through it but

play53:26

ultimately I think I'll probably end up

play53:28

slicing it there folding it over filling

play53:32

it in and carrying

play53:33

on and then uh what a bummer you was

play53:38

just telling Danny like you kind of pay

play53:39

a little bit extra to get something

play53:41

decent and you end up kind of

play53:44

unhappy but such as life um at least it

play53:48

looks like a car I mean it looks like a

play53:49

ill-fitting car but that's all we can

play53:52

touch that up down the road so I have

play53:54

I'm going to order I think a tail pan

play53:56

for it it's actually like $119 on Summit

play53:59

and it was 50 bucks a ship so that's

play54:00

actually super reasonable cuz this is

play54:02

all full of filler so I think I might go

play54:04

ahead and replace that pan while we're

play54:06

at it what's one more panel this is

play54:08

turning into the

play54:09

Nomad it's only going to

play54:12

have

play54:14

this the

play54:17

roof is that all the sheet metal that

play54:19

I'm keeping everything else will be

play54:23

bought wow

play54:27

it really just kind of hit me in a hurry

play54:29

there whatever it's way she goes nice

play54:31

little winter project but the panel does

play54:33

fit good at centered the wheel tubs are

play54:35

nice it feels good it fits good up

play54:37

against The Rocker oh the Rockers I'm

play54:38

going to patch so we keep the front

play54:40

rockers and the roof skin wow anyways

play54:45

that's going to believe it I'm super

play54:47

frustrated not just cuz I have to fix it

play54:50

which you know when you buy the proper

play54:52

panel you think you can avoid stuff like

play54:54

that I wasn't expecting it to be perfect

play54:55

but I thought it wouldn't

play54:56

be completely different side to side

play54:59

this right here this is a good video for

play55:01

mormo but this is what will cause an

play55:04

amateur to get frustrated and lose their

play55:05

mind cuz now you've bought all the right

play55:07

parts and Nothing fits and you're

play55:10

upset quality control anyway that's what

play55:12

I'm leaving it thanks so much for

play55:13

watching if you have some good advice

play55:15

please let me know that being said I

play55:16

probably already started on this side

play55:18

based on the old video schedule and uh

play55:22

I'll see you on the next one subscribe

play55:25

below did I say that yet comment all

play55:26

those

play55:27

play55:32

Ferrero R Shake cheesecake so I am going

play55:34

play55:36
