couple tips, before i cut off a patch i place a large piece of card over the panel and edges involved, index where it sits on the panel that is not being removed and trim this to fit the edge of the old skin, if the skin is gone then i do this while its on the car next to the adjoining panel. when i'm making the new patch fit i can put this back in place before final hammering of the edge etc. when cutting the corner releif for the folded edge i cut a 45 degree live across the corner rather than the square one seen at 8:46 as this give a perfect alignment edge to weld to eastwood, you should have shown the weld to the underside of the patch panel, both where the new meets old and the corner weld. with the 45 degree cut you can start the tack weld in the corner of the frame and walk it over the skin return straight off the corner of the door, this seals up the corner spot perfectly and there is no overlapping of the return edge from the box type cut. i love the panel saw, great device !!
Planish it out both sides cut a slim piece , mig weld it in and grind it out any ripple light skim of putty or maybe high build or just reskin it and should joggle or flange those edges (step joint ) better contact area less risk of burn through
Nice vid. I´m looking for one dies to form a load bed for a VW T3 single Cab 1982. I think is named flange die male and female and the cost of these.t hank you.
It’s a video to show how to make a repair so I wanted to show how to do edges and body lines. Yes you are correct could have just cut small square but what fun is that ?
R & D Manager Eastwood I get your point but in reality time is money and to be more exact time is worth more than money. That little saw looks as if it’s made in China, can you clarify for us please?
6mm is what most punches are but 8mm is considerably stronger, a channel called ‘Trevs Blog’ did a test showing this, worth a look he does some brilliant stuff
Catalyst Arms all of our epoxies are designed to work with all quality brands of polyester filler. Having the epoxy covering the bare metal and filler on top assures not chance of corrosion
@@rdmanagereastwood1245 Ah...ok...so the epoxy paint will probably do a better job of sealing the bare metal. That makes sense. For some tough to reach spots...and that epoxy primer be brushed on? Like for on the floor boards and such where a perfect finish isn't necessary?
@@1mach28914u1 Modern cars often have aluminum doors. I have 2 cars which both have. I would very much like to see how to deal with dents for those. I know it is trickier, that's why I ask...
@@rdmanagereastwood1245 I'll respect your opinion, but I've been in the business for 25 years or so, and could have that fixed in less time than it took for you air compressor to get full pressure
Jesse Henry the compressor we used is a 30 gallon and fills from 0 to 145 in 3 mins. Again the video is to give insight to those that want to learn metal fan . Post your video of the same repair while your compressor fills to cut out

Would love to win this 🤞 want to finally get into the welding universe
Dang!
Cool when we’ll I receive it?
IMO, Mark is one of the best teachers at Eastwood. Always feel like I'm in class at an auto body school.
Mark is the smartest guy in the building.

@@eastwoodco LOL... That would explain everything.
I'm getting DAMN GOOD at doing this. I use TIG for the welding.

to eastwood, you should have shown the weld to the underside of the patch panel, both where the new meets old and the corner weld.
with the 45 degree cut you can start the tack weld in the corner of the frame and walk it over the skin return straight off the corner of the door, this seals up the corner spot perfectly and there is no overlapping of the return edge from the box type cut.

Great video! Short, clear and concise. As a hobbyist car restorer this gives me courage to do this type of work at home. Cheers!
Great job Mark. Love to watch you do your thing. I always learn so much.
Nice to see Mark again
Great job my only thing here is the lines from the English wheel I feel like they need to be worked on a little more to get rid of them
I swear, you are an artist.
Wonderful demo with simple easy to understand tips and techniques!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work! I just put my Eastwood variable speed buffer to work this weekend! Great stuff!!
Thanks for the video nice work I am a former body tech . Definitely will be ordering the bead roller any recommendations on which one ? Thanks
Five star technique you guys rock
🤘
Oooh diamond wheel deburing tool fancy
Excelent videos for metal fabrication!!!
The Mini English Wheel, is now available on their website. I just placed an order for mine.
Good shout out! For anyone else interested >>> www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-mini-english-wheel.html
This is a great ad
Fantastic job.
You make it look easy!
Great video I’m definitely going to look into those tools !
😎 We love to hear that.
Great instructional video. I can't find the Mini English Wheel on your website. Can you post the link for it? Thanks
Mini English Wheel will be available soon! LINK will be added to the video when it does.
Does anyone know if these types of services exist in the UK at all?

I especially like how the lower body line no longer lines up! at 13:25
It's straight, just looks like that because it's sunk into the foam on the stand
@@bert-bb4lf lol no... I'm talking about the body line, not the bottom of the door.
@@ItsDobbs yup
Can you make some sail pannels to fit a 67 chevell
Nice job what gauge metal
Fantastic video, great learning tool.
If that English wheel is moderately priced its going to be a huge seller...
Is it brand new? It's not on their website.
@@importsstillsuck not out yet
What's the point of cutting out the messed up part of you're just cutting out the entire patch area?
He says at 2:32 "easier to form and contour the patch".
I'm guessing Eastwood wanted to include a bead and seam detail as part of the replacement process.
@@jsshayes1 you have the rest of the door. It's pointless to cut it out just to cut it out again.
Olá sou do Brasil curto muito seu canal....tem SEMPRE boas explicações....
Thank you for video is really helpful
I use a small saw from Mac tools,it cuts as straight as the line i scribe,the blades aren't terribly expensive either.
When will that mini english wheel be availalble?

where can I buy a pneumatic panel saw like the one in this clip?

How we get to all bare metal? I need that equipment
Aircraft remover will eat the paint straight off to bare metal.
i wish i've seen this video years ago
Why a MIG and not a TIG here? Thanks
TIG would work, but we find MIG welding much more approachable to the DIYer.
easier and faster your grinding te weld anyways
awesome vid. i cant find a link or listing on the website for the vice mounted english wheel. thanks
The Mini English wheel will be available soon!
Why not just fill the small square hole with a smaller panel than going on to do what seems as 3X the work?

When doing Rosette “spot” welds for body panels, what size drill hole is best (metric) please?

@@biryaniofbodyhair yeh he’s great. I’ll look for that one
Did you end up using filler. I think we could all see the weld join.
Next video will show finishing this was just fabrication of patch
So easy
After he primed it I could see the lines where he welded should have used filler
They ain't done lol still needs the filler
Filler is applied over epoxy
@@rdmanagereastwood1245 Why is that? Not challenging, just curious!

Not 2 bad 👍
Most doors are aluminum now. Please do a video how to deal with those.
You reckon! High end cars maybe. Aluminium is more expensive.
@@1mach28914u1 Modern cars often have aluminum doors. I have 2 cars which both have. I would very much like to see how to deal with dents for those. I know it is trickier, that's why I ask...
@@TorgeirFredriksen what make are they? I’m just curious, as aluminium is more expensive.
@@1mach28914u1 BMW and Audi use aluminum doors and have used for the past 10-15 years.
What about people that only have a hammer
I don't quite agree that it's a professional result. Why don't you sand and paint the door so we can see how it actually came out?
Salesman and not a body man I see! Great job at over complicating a simple fix!

But its bad metal work can see where its reper,, its done wrong way
buy a junkyard door $10
lmao yeah right... more like $300+ for a door off a moden car, and you're not finding one for a classic that doesn't need work
