1972 Chevelle Restoration: part 4

This is part 4 of the Chevelle Restoration. We will be welding the entire back half of the car together. After this episode it will start to look like a car again. Be sure to follow me on tiktok to get more updates on the shop projects.

Damn good job

[@rayhurd3554]

Thanks for sharing. I got to do the same thing to my car. Unfortunately the person I got the car from cut the whole trunk without any bracing

[@CottamCustoms]

That pretty much what happened with this one. You’re going to have to make it go where you want it to.😂

why is the door dropping when you open it? get the door right before aligning the rest.

What would a job like this cost labor wise?

[@CottamCustoms]

You are looking at around 6-9k to replace all of the sheet metal and get it in epoxy.

What do you think about 3m panel bonding instead of welding

[@CottamCustoms]

I love 3ms 8115 panel bond. I usually use it to glue on bedsides. I’m not sure if I would do it instead of welding, but it has its time and place. For example, if you were doing a patch that went through the flat part of a panel, I would panel bond it on, just to avoid warpage.
