Watched this episode as many more I have all these tools plus the air driven ones, Steve is brilliant watching him has inspired me to fix the rust on my cars, 👍
Man what a great video. All basics straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for. It's the middle of the night and I want to go out and smash some sheet metal. But my neighbours don't like me already. Don't want to get arrested again.
I fixed a hugely posh MK1 Ford today & the only "Special" tool I used was a mechanical brake. I formed every other shape using a small hammer & my hands. That posh Ford sat in another garage that has every tool going for 6 months without getting fixed. Owner got the hump & brought it here. He's collecting it tomorrow - day after the day after he dropped it off broken. I cut every bit using a tin snips. You can have every tool and no clue - all the gear, no idea - or you can rock it out daily using next to nothing. If I had a small brake, a welder & a decent small hammer, I'd fix whatever you like. I rebuilt a MK1 Ford bonnet for the same guy using the same gear - a brake, a hammer & a welder. 50k car fixed using 50p worth of tools. :-) I do have hugely Posh sanders, grinders & metal finishing tools - but those are a separate story. You need them... The rest, not so much. :-)
Steve skill comes from user of tools you show how to create repair panels etc with tools that most have never used for the work you do . Brilliant videos keep up the excellent work you all do , your lad Ryan too is an inspiration to the young out there ! 👍🏻👏👏👏👏
Very interesting and informative video. One important thing you did not show was the vice that you refer to. For me, the most used and important tool in my workshop is my large Record vice. It is firmly fitted to a very sturdy bench and it's invaluable. Smaller vices are also useful, but for anyone starting in restoration I would recommend seeking out a really good quality second hand engineer's vice with no damage and sound jaws: not usually cheap, but a good investment. Sometimes you can find a tatty one at a reasonable price that can be tidied up, but you need to beware that proper replacement jaws, while available, are very expensive.
Good to see how you can make some sort of shaping with limited tool, but you still need the English wheel, and others to make complex shapes etc. nice work. do you take on restoration job's? let me know. Bob
I really enjoyed this video, as I have been enjoying your other videos as well, I’m a new subscriber and have been watching and enjoying your videos. These instructional videos are both entertaining and much appreciated as someone that has struggled to make repair sections in the past. Watching these has given me more inspiration to try again. I’m going to attempt a whole sill section replacement on a 1992 Cavalier which I plan on filming and uploading to my channel, good or bad I think 😂 as I’m keen on showing what a beginner can achieve. I think this will be a perfect project to under take as any mid section repairs don’t need to be perfect as they won’t be seen(as you know) thanks for the videos and I will definitely enjoy more of them to come. Thanks again for the wonderful content and inspiration for me to try my MK2 Cavalier inner&outer wheel arch repair. Cheers. Keep up the great work! Steve.
Brilliant content Steve 👍 , like the raw comedy moments, really pleased your sharing your knowledge especially on Panel forming and tools - more like this please ... P.S. where did you get your folder from ? Im looking to get one...
The rubber mat you use on the bench, what size is it, and how thick? Also, where did you get it finally kitting out garage current projects disco 1 ,astra mk1,vw t4

When working on a large area ie boot lid is there any hints and tips for skimming with bobyfilker so it doesn’t go off too quickly ?
Superb, makes me want to buy tools lol.
What thickness of metal do you use, what’s best for sill structures? Thanks 😊
Hi Gary, we use 1.2mm for outer and inner we use 1.6mm :)
The rubber mat you use on the bench, what size is it, and how thick? Also, where did you get it finally kitting out garage current projects disco 1 ,astra mk1,vw t4
