    Sometimes is better doing it yourself instead of paying someone else to do it for you when you're doing it on your own you have a tendency to do things to a level of perfection doing the job like a professional not been one and at the end of the job you feel satisfied joyful and proud of what yo did with a positive attitude and a willingness to do things people will be suprises of what they are capable off good job and thank you for teaching and helping others people.

    Excellent job. Excellent description. I like the way you fully explained what you were doing. I also like that you showed the simple tools you made for bending and forming the sheet metal. I think it’s important for people to realize you don’t always need fancy tools to get the job done.

    Hey, I am working on the same issue on my Subaru. I am wondering, do you think it is better to spot weld the pinch weld on the bottom like you did, or leave a small gap for drainage? It seems to me like water will always find a way into the rocker (open body clip holes etc) and then dust will clog the pinch and the water will just rot it out again from the inside. I am considering leaving my pinch weld slightly open to just let it always drain and dry out. I also garage my car and rarely drive in the rain

      Yes you do need to allow water to drain. In the past when I did a full rocker replacement on another similar car, I drilled a few 5/16" (8mm) holes along the underside of the rocker just above the pinch weld flange. Maybe not "proper" but it worked.

    Great video. Was wondering.. What primer would you suggest on the grinded area of a welded on rocker panel? I don't plan on paint for several months down the road.

    • @taillighttapegarage5816
      @taillighttapegarage5816  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I always use self etching primer directly on bare metal, it helps any other coatings stick well. On these patches I've been using Tremclad red oxide primer over the self etch, same as Rustoleum. It's not longterm but it'll protect as long as I need it to. Then spray rust check or fluid film inside the panel where you can't reach with paint, especially the back side of the welds.

      I used 17gauge for this repair but it was thicker than I needed, 18gauge would have been appropriate.

    Great video man im from new brunswick to, saint john to be exact. Being a mechanic around here you fight rust non stop, oxy acy torch is a must to get sezied nuts and bolts out. You in saint john by chance?
