nothing wrong with what your doing....great tip about the tacks bringing down that centre bit.watching you rub your gloved hand over the weld reminded me of mum running her hand over where i hurt myself when i was young. enjoy your simple approach well done joe
You’ve definitely shown me that a real car is a steel car you’re definitely very talented with a hammer and dolly and a mig welder one ☝️ question y not use tig ? First time I’ve ever seen anyone use a leather glove as a way of cooling a weld down.. in all my years a panel beater I’ve never worn gloves anyway top work love it
I appreciate that comment, cheers mate. it’s like all people with preferences, not necessarily the right way , I like to cool it down to reduce the warping but just enough it stays warm in its cold position. leather gloves hold some heat but drop it over a fresh tac and you can feel the sheet shrink back flat , that’s if it crowns .. blink and you’ll miss it 🤙🏻 cheers @michaelbyrnes7944
hey mate nope this panel was from another vehicle, I trimmed up for this video, the original panel was a full side panel but I really wanted to keep as much of it as original as could. so a lengthy half was the way .
Glad you were able to keep the body line Joe, seen it filled so many times when repairs are done in that area
Yes it’s definitely a hard line to keep , I haven’t seen to many undamaged ones other then fresh replacements 🤙🏻

Nice one. Im a halfarsed welder and fing struggle with shrink welding up rust cuts. Meh,body filler... But good tip.
appreciate it🤙🏻 I find rusty panels sometimes can be thrown at a wall then to be used .. ha
Whats your way of dealing with the other sides of the welds. I mean the inside of the panel?
good question I’ll throw something up in the next video 🤙🏻cheers @john2ndname
Interesting i've never seen a quarter panel in halfs! Did the part come that way or you can't buy the whole quarter?
