Disclaimer: This video was made for the average fabricator or backyard builder to get some tips. I realize butt welding & planishing afterwords is the ideal technique here. Butt welding & planishing is however a more advanced technique. And if you already have those skills, you probably wouldn't be searching youtube for a video on how to do your own sheet metal patch. Keep that in mind with rude comments. If you think you can make a better video, I invite you to spend your own time, without pay, making FREE instructional videos.
Good job man, *I* know you were able to grind that down smooth, and of course it will be seen clearly later on, but that's probably why some clowns don't appreciate what you did there. They've also never seen someone try to stick a busted front fender from a '32 Ford PU (notorious for splitting from vibration over time) together with an arc welder. We had a hired man on the farm I grew up on in the 1950s try to do that, he burned several huge holes along the split and finally gave up, and then the moron riveted a piece of galvanized sheet metal over it, which of course didn't stop the splitting, and just made new places for it to fuck up, later on. I wanted to kill him, but I was only 14. I did a somewhat better job with oxy-acetylene, but it never came out the way it could've with today's technology. Great demo Luke, told ya I'd be catchin' up. 😎
@@ZeekDuff You're correct, it was ground down perfectly smooth afterwards. You're probably right about the clowns too. Welding on sheet metal almost never looks good, unless you hit it hot and do long beads, which warps the shit out of the metal. I could have tig welded it and it would have looked better, but there was small contaminations due to existing lead throughout most of the car, that would have made tig welding impossible. But hey, what do I know :P lol Thanks for catching up, hopefully you're learning new things also!
@@Tinman2Kustoms Absolutely! If we ever get too old to learn something, we've just gotten too old to keep breathing! I don't do any of this kind of work anymore, physically can't, but I enjoy watching others do good work, immensely. AND, I really love the results from folks who know exactly what they're doing. I've always been a gearhead car guy & a hot rodder, it's in the blood. But, it's like playing guitar, no one ever learns everything there is to learn about it, that just isn't possible, as I keep finding out just about every single day!!! Hahaha...
@@ZeekDuff Cracks me up when people "tell" someone they're doing it wrong when they've probably NEVER done sheet metal work, much less tried to make a living at it.
Might I recommend if folks want to use this method, primer your flange before you install it into place. You can primer/Paint the flange as a rust preventative then strip just what you need to for welding. Say just small spots for spot welding or the edge of your step for fully welding. Any rust preventative barrier you can get in place is going to help in the long run. It is always my goal to make something better than it was before. I don't support overlapping panels like this but fully understand the intention of this method for many folks. Right on.
Yes, yes I should have mentioned the primer or more on why I did it this way in the video. Thank you for the good comment. I always coat overlapping seems heavily with por-15 and then seam sealer to keep anything from getting in there. But a buttweld is a better repair, but more difficult to make look decent for 99% of people.
Seen your truck at SEMA on Deboss garage so i thought i would check out your channel. I was not disappointed, great video! Looking forward to more content.

@@Tinman2Kustoms its great to see fabrication at its best and you sure show that.. body work now in the industry is more paperwork than brain work so to speak it has to be do this way that way bla bla bla lol this is what I like to see proper old school metal work using the tools and making things fit.you know what iam talking about and those are the skills that are going to die out because of so called paperwork on how to do it keep those videos going tinman because it's an absolute craft and an art that's slowly dying out
ABSOLUTELY FANTSTIC for the beginner I teach similar stuff but even easier more simple ways. I would butt weld 18 but 20 gauge flange or lap and shrink most of the time. sometimes I even flange 18.
The beginner was the person in mind! It's very hard for the beginner to be precise enough with butt fitment and still be able to weld it without blowing through everywhere, so lapping it is easier. But you're correct. I almost always butt weld when possible

The best way to rust proof a panel is to use POR-15. I have a video of coating my trailer, it is the same general process for coating new metal. if you are going to be painting over the metal (like if its the exterior of a cars body), you would want to use a high quality epoxy primer. Here is the trailer coating video: th-cam.com/video/lQZWaGr5lbc/w-d-xo.html
Personally I weld the entire length of all panels. But some guys don't. That's up to your discretion. If you're going to body work and paint it and the panel pops out because of lazyness or lack of welds, then you're gunna need a whole new paint job because of 5 minutes less of welding
@@Tinman2Kustoms Thanks Tin Man, this is my first try at body work so I thank-you and value your advice. Last question, If I'm going to seal it with fiberglass bondo will little holes between the stitch welds come back to haunt me after painting. I have a couple small pin size holes here and there and I don't know if I should continue to stitch till it is solid or move on? 1969 Chevrolet Panel Truck Project.
Where did you pick up on all of this? I have not looked through all of the comments or videos due to time. I operate lasers in a metal shop. Did you go to school for this or pick it up from a family member as a trade or learn from the internet?
TheCanadianBubba the secret to welding sheet metal is to have the mig gun in one hand and the air nozzle on another and turn your voltage & wire size down
If you're skilled enough to do that, yep. But that's beyond the skill set of someone that's watching this video tutorial. Or just cut the flange off afterwards. It's on the inside of the vehicle. Will get seam sealed and painted. Won't get moisture in-between anyways..
@@Tinman2Kustoms i dream of such things ,,, blowing a gale here , rains going sideways , and all the roads were sprayed with salt last night incase it freezes again , you win hands down on that one ,,,
@@tomthompson7400 LMAO it was -24 at my house last night and we have almost 2 feet of snow on the ground. I'm pretty sure they salt our roads in the summer even, based on the amount of rust we have up here :P
1) Tig welding shrinks the metal more than mig welding and on this panel it would be hard to get to the back side to hammer & dolly. 2)Tig welding takes substantially longer 3) 90% of the people watching this will not have access to a Tig welder. Mig welders are much more common. 4)Tig welding sheet metal is more difficult. If you can Tig weld sheet metal, you probably don't need to watch this video because you already know how to make this sort of repair
@@gizmoriderfulye8007 lol have you ever welded sheet metal? That's how it looks when you have to bounce around so it doesn't warp. Can't do continuous beads.
@@gizmoriderfulye8007 LMFAO those are not representations of actual work. They don't show the nitty gritty. Don't try and tell me how to do my job, if you've never done it. Thanks for watching though, hopefully you learned something
I get that this is for the backyard fabricator. I'm just not sure that such a person would have an English wheel, roller benders, bead rollers, shrinker, stretcher,throatless shears, etc. Good video though 👍
You're right. That's why I try to mention how to do it without fancy tools. But really, most of these tools, in cheaper versions, can be purchased very affordably through summit racing or woodward fab. I just have nicer stuff because I do it daily. Thanks for commenting though!
Might welding on sheet metal always looks like shit, unless you're trying to warp your panel or burn through with long hot beads. Tack welds jumping around are the name of the game.
@@pristaxau Tig would never have worked on this steel. It was previously lead-ed and would contaminate the tungsten immediately. In an ideal world, with new steel, yes Tig is the better choice.
I use por-15 products almost everyday in my shop. It works really well for long term rust-proofing. Wasn't shown in this video, because I'm.doing another on that subject. thanks for watching
all metal patch work should be butt welded so its like there was never a repair it takes more time and talent but its worth it.. I don't get why he cut that out ? so what if it had lead all old American cars had lead from the factory..
I cut it out because it had nearly 3/4" of lead and needed filler yet on top of that. It also needed a new edge, and you cannot weld on lead. But yes, butt welding is preferred. As mentioned in the video and in the comments.
Sorry, I'm not taking any more work until 2020. If you're interested in getting on my waitlist, please message my Tinman 2 Kustoms page on Facebook. Thanks
On sheet metal it's not really possible to make nice beads with a mig, without warping the panel. You just have to lay down a few tacks and a time and stop to let it cool. And jump around a lot. It always looks like this if you don't want to warp the panel.
But there is always room for improvement. When it all gets ground down afterwards it doesn't really matter what it looks like before grinding. I focus on not warping the panel, over the look of the welds.
Tinman 2 Kustoms im working on it. My facial hair grows super slow but it would be cool as hell I think because my facial hair doesn't grow all the same color, grows, red, blonde and brown in different sections
Nope. No idea (extreme sarcasm). This video is for someone that will search TH-cam on how to make a patch. Anyone skilled enough to cut exact sizes & butt weld isn't going to be looking up how to do a sheet metal patch. I've found this is the best way for someone that would actually search how to do it themselves.

Anyone skilled enough to cut exact sizes & butt weld isn't going to be looking up how to do a sheet metal patch. I've found this is the best way for someone that would actually search how to do it themselves.

Ti sei sforzato molto a fare quel pezzo se parlassi di meno!
Love the content can't stand the background music. Just my two cents. Keep up the good fight.
Flanger.
the only interesting thing: the welding, you didn't show it. fkn blah blah crap
Make your own video if you think you can do better.
