Very , very nice work along with the explanation. I am always amazed how clean your shop is even with all this metal work.Kudos to you. Thank you so much.
Do you end up finishing both sides of the panel the same way? I know all welders are different, but I'd be interested in knowing what size wire and settings you use. Seems hotter than usual, Cheers
Man, I appreciate that you're all about quality! Impressive attention to detail which is so lacking in a lot of industry and specialty businesses! Superb work!
That replacement piece came out great. One suggestion. You used a lot of cutting, grinding and sanding materials. A list of those items used would be most useful. I did follow along with paper and pen so I got what was used but it does make the video a little longer. Thanks!
I have a good question Robert..During the Metal work process and when the body is on the Frame Fixture..when the body is put back on the frame. Wouldn't the body and doors gaps move? I'm thinking the body would flex and shift..so I'm thinking of doing the same thing I would wait until the body is on fresh body mounts to do the door gaps.(metal slicing and adding coat hanger to fill in gaps)Thanks again!
great video as always. I need to close the gap on a mustang I'm working on. What type of filler rod do you recommend. Aftermarket door has 1/4" gap between fender.
Congrats on 30+K Robert! Nice work, didn't realize high build primer could cover the 36 grit, thought you'd have to go a bit higher, at least 120 or so. Thanks for the videos, here's to 50K and more!
Thanks ! on the 36 grit I meant to metal finish, finish out the area with 80, 120, 180 before primer. I didn't realize I said the next step is primer.... good catch. Thanks
Hi Robert, Congrats on the subscription milestone! Great work as usual. I am curious how you will deal with the rust pitting. On my project I am using Dyna-glass fiberglass filler on rust pits.
@@DA-cg3du Great question, if it's painted the metal has to be dress ( ground ) flush with the surrounding metal, that is a job in it's self to not dress the metal too thin and leave enough metal in the repair... not impossible.... but very time consuming. Re-undercoating allows you to leave a little more weld and hide it with the undercoat making for a stronger repair.
This is sort of Fitzee's Cut and Butt method of repairing panels. He always leaves the old panel in place behind the new panel/patch. I cannot explain it but check out Fitzees Fabrication. He is from New Foundland and he does some amazing work with rusted out vehicles. Nice repair. I got some info out of it so thank you.
I saw on Hubbards impala parts website they sell an outer and inner wheelhouse with a (modify for convertible) in parentheses. I wonder if they have be some kind of diagram or directions for the modification.
The difference being the main shape of the arch. The convertible inner wheelhouses have a large flat area on top which is tilted toward the front of the car. The purpose being to make room for the convertible top mechanism frame when it's put down into the folded position. Pause this video at 2:02 for a good look at the shape of the hardtop wheelhouse (reproduction), and then pause again at about 5:46 to see the different shape of the large flat tilted-forward area on top of the original convertible wheelhouse. As far as the modification goes, Robert has probably shown the best way to do it right here. Hopefully none of our cars are ever rusted out up high enough to need to get into that flat area!
So…I’m working on this 59 Apache panel truck, right? There was nothing left of the B pillars, cab instep, hinge pocket, lower A pillar, floor, parts of the toe board, and WOW! The doors were flopping, and basically barely holding on! I had not a single reference point to start with or end with. Now? At least the door hangs solidly on the hinge, and I did a ton of cutting in/patches and stuff! What do you do in situations like this? It looks “ok” and solid, but s few things did not line up as they should. I will say this…the floor is flat now, and the transmission cover, lines up. Help!
@@guzzifabrication3448Yo Guzzster, here’s the deal. I totally blame you for showing me how to save old metal. Today, I cut the other side in to the point of rehanging the door. I had a few reference points, but not much. When I welded in the lower hinge pocket brace, and screwed the new instep in place, the freaking door actually shut “nearly” like it was suppose to! Too late to turn back now. I’m going to have a nice panel truck when done! Also, I practiced the flapper wheel bit after welding. I did ok, but fairly happy with the results! Glad I’ve been watching you videos! They have been a huge help!!!
I love it when people try to correct me and they don't know what they are talking about.... Classic industries.... probably the largest aftermarket parts suppliers calls this part a wheel house... oh yeah so does every other professional in this industry... I guess we are all wrong.... Maybe you should learn from the video and stop trying to fault find....
Bro….using what is available is the name of the game! Building a new inner wheel tub like that would be, and is cost prohibitive! I’d have done the exact same thing! Besides that, the other part can be used for other projects! Guzzy did the right thing!
@@jimmyjames-ky2uu convertible wheel houses are different than hardtop wheel houses they do not reproduce a convertible the easiest repair is to use a donor hardtop wheelhouse to repair the lower section of the convertible wheelhouse.
Reproduction convertible wheel house are not available they are different than a coupe wheel house.... the repair uses a coupe donor.... what was your question ?

.025 works well for this repair, every welding machine is different, I turned the machine down a little to the 16 V range. Thanks !!

do you finish the back side of that panel? I know it may never be seen but just wonder what it looks like and how it is finished so it want rust.
Yes.
Rob, I don't see the 45 degree air chisel you were going to offer for sale on your store site

Hi Robert, Congrats on the subscription milestone! Great work as usual. I am curious how you will deal with the rust pitting. On my project I am using Dyna-glass fiberglass filler on rust pits.
Check out a product called slick sand primer. Thanks !!
👍 👍👍
Thanks !!
What do you do on the back side of it?
That depends on the final finish out, if it's painted or lined. Thanks !!
@@guzzifabrication3448 ok 👍
If it’s pained it would get same as this side and lf coated could stay as is correct?

@@wilkesjournal Thanks for the lead on parts and the info !
what grinding wheel are you using to dress the welds before the flap disc stage?
3m green corp 3”x 3/16" x 3/8" if you can find them, they are the best...

i thought that a replacement was not available but you cut up brand new one ?
Convertible wheel houses are not available, I said that in the video... this is a coupe wheel house.
Would a cut and butt work here as well ??

A wheelhouse is the pilot's cabin on a steamboat. Inner and outer fender or fender tub.

In parts catalogs they call this part a wheelhouse.🤔
@@samuelsmith2522 Correct. Thanks !
good work but quit waste of a good new panel
Do you know how long it would take to form the piece cut off of the coupe wheel house ? ?

@@SuperchiefApache Thanks !!
@@guzzifabrication3448 I could actually use that other piece for this 59 titanic
Why not replace the inner and outer as one
Instead of cutting it up to piece it together.
If I'm missing something please forgive me.
@@jimmyjames-ky2uu convertible wheel houses are different than hardtop wheel houses they do not reproduce a convertible the easiest repair is to use a donor hardtop wheelhouse to repair the lower section of the convertible wheelhouse.
How is That a non-obtainable part…… you had a brand new inner outer wheel well, that you used to get the donor piece? 🤷🏻♂️
Reproduction convertible wheel house are not available they are different than a coupe wheel house.... the repair uses a coupe donor.... what was your question ?
WHY NOT JUST REPLACE THE PANEL SINCE YOU HAD A NEW ONE (OBTAINABLE) THAT YOU CHOSE TO CUT UP????? CORNFUSSIDID!
The convertible wheel houses aren't available, didn't you hear him say that??? you have to use a donor coupe wheel house.... try an keep up spudly.
What are you talking about ? when you watch the video make sure the sound is on as well as your glasses.....
