There is a lot of information about the differences online in detail. But in my basic understanding you have a much more precise weld and have control over the filler wire,sometimes no filler and a full fusion allowing for much better penetration. And a much smaller HAZ (heat affected zone) the reason it's easier to work is its joining more of the parent metals together and relying less on forcing wire into it like a mig. It also burns hotter yet cools slower. To me it's night and day difference just in the cleanup process, so much less grinding and mess for a stronger overall weld, isn't many downsides in comparison.

@@notevn Thank you. It certainly works for you. Best wishes.

Really unsure to be honest, in something like this video there is about 60hrs of work compressed into an hour. I would say I'm about 220 hrs into this car and more than halfway done. It's also hard to say how long is left as there could be some fiddly things I've glossed over and don't realise how hard they are until the moment comes.

Haha don't worry I have to fix work that younger me did years ago that makes me laugh and shake my head.

Thanks mate

Thanks for the kind words but there is thousands of people out there better than me, unfortunately the online world is overflowing with garbage work and quick fixes that get glorified into being normal and accepted by the masses. For top notch work I recommend watching wray from proshaper and Peter tommasini also has some very knowledgeable content on here, most of the top tier work like that is buried as they barely get any views as it's too boring for the normal person to watch, they prefer the TV show drama style videos.

Thanks mate long way to go still

Thanks mate, I've been full time for myself for just on 3 years this week. Before that I was a refrigeration mechanic but got bored of the job, always grew up around cars as dad is a panelbeater so I played with cars at home and then got a job at a custom car place doing more fabrication work like tubs,chassis rails,rollcages and custom engine bays/sheetwork etc, and kept practising metalshaping and resto stuff on the side as I enjoyed that more than the other side of the fab world. Spent a few years there renting my own workshop for after hours work and then moved states 3 years ago to setup at home.

🤣🤣pop shove it off the panel next time

😅no superhero just an Aussie battler. Im 31 ,All self taught , dads a panelbeater so I've grown up around cars, am a refrigeration mechanic by trade but left that when i finished my trade and played around with cars at home and then worked at a custom car place for a few years doing more fabrication work like custom rails,tubs,floors,diffs etc for drag/prostreet style cars. And just enjoyed the metalshaping and rust work more than the other fab side of things. so kept doing more of that on the side in a workshop I rented for myself. until finally setting up at home and doing it full time, long way from where I want to be so I have plenty to learn still.

Thanks mate, some of the larger panels in this vid like the sill were made a few videos ago , hopefully can add some more tripod stuff once I'm not cramped inside the footwell haha.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy.

Thanks mate, yeah it's a wonder they eveb survived aslong as they did with the poor design choices of multiple overlaps and water traps, but hey it was 1967..they didn't know how to make cars last just yet haha.

It's quite a big job, although is in great condition compared to the other two haha. Keeping track of the repairs is much easier when you make the pieces before tou remove them, I see people just hack out a large section and that's never going to end well as the car will move/you will just make the prices how you think they looked.

A bedtime story 😅

jonnesway.com.au/collections/punch-and-chisels/products/all-go-chisel-punch Is the version I have , they come in a fair few different types aswell as a quick release hammer head. I bought it from a local paint shop a few years ago, great tool. And then I made a holder for the tooling so I can put them on the hammer stand and use them in reverse as a dolly. The website says sold out but they are available from a few places

Thanks, much appreciated, looks like a much more civilised option than the caveman tooling I currently use

Thanks mate, yeah so weld through primer on any overlapping edges and epoxy primer for the rest. I usually absolutely soak the cars insides with rust inhibitor like cavity wax until it's dripping out the seams, after they are painted ofcourse.

Cheers man! Non stop cosmos around here 😅

Thanks Tony, it's been a while for the cosmo, some of this was filmed months ago and I decided to finish the r100 completely before jumping back on so it freed up a space in the shop. I'm keen to see this one all finished up it will be a really nice car.

Maybe I should take up fishing, can make some cool lures 😅

Thanks man

Cool cars and era, they only had an oxy to weld things together back then , much better modern technology that doesn't require loading the car up with lead unnessessarily these days. Putting anything over baremetal that isn't an epoxy/sealer to me is just never going to last, the filler these days is a much different structure so is not suitable for being applied directly over baremetal like back in the 80s.

Thanks mate, they seem very boring to me as it's just filming my day to day job.

Thanks mate, glad there is some useful stuff in it. He is stoked with the work so that's always a bonus.

Thanks mate, yeah gotta throw a little before and after at the start so people don't fall asleep halfway through 😅

He does, the main reason for recording it all is so it's it's documented properly, photos don't show how much work is involved.

Haha it will probably put you to sleep aswell😅

Long live the spinning triangle

Took over 6hrs to upload with how slow internet is here 😅

@notevn with content like this it's always worth waiting for 💪

Cheers mate

Thankyou

Massive amount haha, with lots left out too.

A Huge effort in this car

Will do thanks for stopping by.

Haha yeah the button bases for the floormata were fiddly but rewarding to Replicate.

Thanks mate

Thanks mate, my hourly rate is half of what a shop would charge,so am inexpensive for the quality of work. But yes most of these cars are very rare and worth saving.
