Thanks for the video and showing people how to do it right. It takes alot of work to build these cars right let alone all the off screen time you put into these videos. Us viewers appreciate it. Keep up the hard work.
Your organization is top notch. Working on several different cars and moving through the processes. It looks like you are there getting the job done not just racking up the hours.
Your pride, your work ethic, your delivery of content, all above board Rick. Thank you for sharing. Very well delivered Sir. * Looking forward to your Firebird project/update.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I am trying to get back on the firebird it takes a back seat to the customer cars but I have a plan for it in the next couple weeks.
Awesome video Rick, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I don't have a mig welder, only a tig, so I tried using stainless steel filler wire which has less of an issue with porosity with the weld through primer. Just thought I'd share that.
Thanks for the info, thats really toughing it out with only a TIG welder for everything. Have you tried the eastwood TIG spot weld TIP for the TIG? I have used it before and if you have new metal it works vs drilling some holes.
Thank you! As of right now trying to focus on the metal work, I do have a few I committed to paint but currently not trying to take any more paint projects until I get caught up.
Great video. Feel like broken record but absolutely beautiful work. How long did it actually take to do everything on video? I would imagine it’s a few days at least. Your attention to detail is just awesome.
Thank you very much, it was a pretty big project. I try not to talk hours publicly as I don't want set the "standard" on hours for myself or other shops. All these cars are different and each customer wants something different that also always changes the time it takes. Most of the time consuming work in this video was cut out in all the patching actually.
Hey great video as always nobody does is quite like you my friend. off topic but I figure id ask, how long can you keep a car in Ospho before it should be primed? Im stripping multiplie areas but im really slow so once im done a section I do ospho.
Thank you buddy, so that is a loaded question as if you live in the desert probably a couple decades but the rainforest probably a couple weeks. You should be good for a few months to 6 months (I actually never let one sit that long untreated so please let me know lol) as its not exposed to water, keep an eye on it and worse case you slightly wet it again with the ospho and wipe off any slight surface rust that accumulates.
Hi I have a question I’m about to start a restoration shop do you think it’s possible to do the bodywork and paint it’s going to be my first shop I’m coming out of trade school for autobody collision
I do think its possible with passion and not getting too ahead of yourself. Take on manageable jobs for your size to start out, invest back into your shop on quality tools to get the work done. Don't be the "cheap" hack shop no matter if you need to take a loss on that job. Honestly like a lot of us that started our own business you might have to work a day job in the industry and moonlight as a shop owner after the fact until your name is out there and consistent work comes in. Your reputation is everything be honest and upfront with customers so they know what to expect and why your shop would be the best choice for them. Good luck it is doable and has its benefits but also will be probably more work then working for some established shops and is a lot more stressful at times.

@@carthageclassiccars awesome thanks man
Btw saw your blow up paint shop that's a pretty cool idea
@@SubdivisionAuto Ill send you an email with something cool on it maybe you will get an idea
What gun do you use on your epoxy ? Also what tip thanks
Devbiss Starting line the base coat gun with a 1.5 tip. A 1.8 tip will also work on this epoxy if you pick up the pace on laying it down.
Can you please tell me who manufactures the single post spot welder you’re using on the firewall? Thank you.
This Spot welder is a Pro Spot brand.
@@carthageclassiccars thank you for sharing the info. Great job on attention to details, and a fine craftsmanship.
