1971 Cutlass Ep 07 A Pillars, Roof & Dash Welded on!

This video starts with a review of the previous rust repairs on the floor, A-pillars, and roof, and continues to show how I fabricated and welded in some smaller but important pieces of inner structure of the roof, and an intricate part of the roof rain gutter. Next, I fully weld the entire new roof skin on! I also replace the driver's side of the rear window channel (the top of the quarter panel) with a repair piece from www.RustReplace.com and a small home-made patch panel. The video ends with a little bodywork and paint on the dash/windshield channel and the roof to A-pillar and roof to B-pillar joints partially filled in.

Hi Bob, This was a very enjoyable video. Some ambitious repairs going on and I especially liked the the dash repair. You got a great result( I agree the paint needs to be a bit flatter) on a pretty difficult spot. Cheers!

After watching the welding for a while I needed to turn my eyes away from the screen...as if I was welding myself. Nice work.

great work Robert
for what its worth i find the copper weld thru primer is alot better than the zinc for mig welding plug holes, been using the copper one for ages now,
that rear section of drip rail will to be as deep as the original one because its those two top and bottom lips the chrome trim will hook onto
one solution maybe to add some welding rod to the bottom as it didnt seem to have that extra rolled swage line when you were making it which makes the bottom lip for the trim to grab,
just a heads up incase it bites you towards the end after paint, check the trim before fit painting!
again, good progress

Where did you get the roof skin from for that model?

Wish someone sold full quarters that begin at the sail panels. Everyone sell them half skins for the 70-72 cutlass.
