- In this video I get started on doing body work on my truck. I've had this truck for 6 + years and I love it. The bodywork is not the greatest but im not a body man. I hope you enjoy.

The rust under the fender looked like a smiley face
Glad to see you saving the old Chevy truck, fewer and fewer of them every day.
Very nice repair job Ike, love the way you mated the new piece with the old fender, like a jigsaw puzzle for experts lol. Great work, liked the watch!
Mid 60s Chevy pickups are among the best looking ever made imo.
This pickup is probably the coolest vehicle in the vast fleet of The Man, The Myth, The Legend, that is the Ikester! 😄 Looks great Buddy!
Cars and cameras is my favorite. I want to love this but I can't. Why can't I.
It looks good Ike. Love that you're keeping the original fender on the truck. Definitely a great looking truck wish you all the best on it.
I love the time lapse photography👍
At least it is all steel, no plastic or fiber materials. Good Job!
Normally I am on board 100% with everything you do and!... But watching you cut that fender without Triple checking hurt my brain. LOL
When you love an old girl like that, you know she comes with baggage. She'll reward you with her best service. Thanks for looking after her and sharing with us. Merry Christmas.
Make sure to weld the brace to the patch panel and also around the crimp on where you bent it over weld it. I always cut the new braces just where it is needed. But that new patch panel has to be welded to the new brace at the bottom. of fender.
You have a verry old soul isack you do and say things like my father great job
All the different locations it's like you are a foster mechanic!
Always a good video when I catch myself tilting my head to get a better look at what your doin!
Duran Duran: come undone. Love it.
Back about 40 years ago I had a 66 gmc that the back half of the front fender was rust free and the front half had a big dent from the bumper slapping it. I cut a fender front half off at the junkyard and welded the 2 halves together.
Gooooood morning Isaac. I hope you have a great day.👍🇺🇸
I’d grind off that inside lip that you crimped into it. It has served its purpose to help you get the patch panel flush, and now that you’re welded up you don’t need it. it’ll only trap contaminants and will end up corroding through. Even if you spray it with undercoating there’s still a good chance of that. Corrosion loves tiny little creases where coating doesnt reach. Looking very cool regardless. Cool truck.
Ike...it looks good. I agree with the way you feel about the truck. I have a 88 El Camino I am working on and understand what you are working with. Good to see you are getting some of 'your' projects done. keep it up ike and I will be watching your progress. You have it under control dude. Take care and Merry Christmas.
a project Vehickle is never done. there is always something worth doing to make the thing better.
I love these old trucks. Hope to get one myself someday! Keep up the good work.
👍about time the 66 gets some love.
Good work Isaac, was surprised you had a flange tool in the stash.
Makes the panel stronger after welding compared to a butt-joint, did body work for many years and used to lay down lead instead for bondo after welding, but those days are gone now.
For the inside, grind the rust away, a thick good coat of primer (not a spray-can) Rust-Oleum works great.
And seam-sealer afterwards on the patch panel welds, then rust-protection and you are done !
Cheers from Texas. * * *
Big fan of the Rust-Oleum as well. When used as directed it is rock solid
@@cliffpalermo Yes, I did a test 11 years ago, painted my old Craftsman riding lawnmower 10-36 with grey Rust-Oleum primer first (paint-gun) and 2 coats of grey spray-paint after primer was dry & wet-sanded using # 280 grit.. Still now all looks great and this machine most of the time sit outside in all kinds of weather.
You did just fine bud! Hell I use license plates to cover holes and call it 👍! Been doing that for 25 yrs.
I love your videos!! been following you guys since the OG rat rod build! keep it going! glad you are on the internet!
I have a 1962 C-10 that I have had since new. They have a certain propensity for rust. Improper drainage of that bracket is a big culprit. Good luck it's lookin' good so far.
Looking good! I was a store manager for an O’Reilly paint store for a year. Don’t buy cheap body filler. Buy 3M or Rage extreme. O’Reilly paint stores have a paint camera. Bring the truck (or fender) in and they can place it on the truck (or fender) and scan the paint. Once you scan the paint it will generate a formula for the paint and they can mix it in any type of paint you want (single stage, epoxy, base coat/clear coat, etc.) some stores can even load rattle cans (typically DuPont stores) with your custom paint as well.
Mine are flappy. Can’t afford to fix it now. Drive ol rusty about 300 miles a week on my 250. Only thing we have to drive at moment, thankfully she’s been reliable
Great job Ike!
Awesome video, great job and absolutely loved the music
Issac you did a great job on the panel, but to finish it off you should use something like metal to metal or all metal. It doesn't absorb water like bondo will. Makes a Long lasting repair. Ps. I really enjoy watching your videos and cars and camera.
Nothing wrong with that repair. 😎👌
Great job, dude. I know that was fun and satisfying work.
Jump into the unknown with both feet and boldness. Great job Issac. Thank you for sharing.
Lines up nice and looks alright! Makes me feel better about doing my own work on my rust-bucket Beetle someday.
I can't do worse than prior owners that welded patch-panels over the top of rusted-out spots! (although that did keep it out of the scrapyard and on the road long enough to come into my possession, so it's not all bad)
I'd recommend testing the black paint on the new parts with some brake-cleaner, it's usually pretty weak stuff as far as adhesion goes and may be better cleaned off before painting.
Absolutely phenomenal I’m sure you know this I’ve never done it myself but I’ve watched many body men/women do this. Tack weld weld a bit then go to the other side of the panel Wild a little bit to let it cool down don’t concentrate the heat all in one area I mean the videos already out but still for next time
Great truck Ike. Love the music at the 7 minute mark
Can't beat a chevy truck!
just goota say that way i like channel;s like yours done on a budget like ever normal person can do NOT people with money running out there A@@
should have watched brothers videos . he spot welds without crimping , just spot welds on the joint and grinding smooth
Great video on how to Issac. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying on a rainy afternoon. Still hoping to catch you at your shop someday. 🛵🌹💝
Ike I'm not a body man I think what you are doing looks fine. You are saving the old girl that's all that matters your just making a nice solid respectable driver not looking to make a Concours showstopper she's going to look gorgeous ?
You guys need to build 3 V8 bar stools and race them in the shop there on that property. Always strip the e-coat off of any panel you get. It's not a primer it's just plastic that's baked onto the part to protect from corrosion while shipping it. It doesn't stick very well and paint will soften it up and pull it right off.
really liked that part Man ! 3:03 - 3:11 ! I like the sound to man . American Built GM. When you said that to Charles i was like hell yeah ! Y'all need to do a GM truck video(s) one day . cruisin down the street
Nice work! It's not always easy to take your grinder to a sweet vehicle, but it's worth the work.
Nice that's my favorite chevy pick up
A little bit of paint matching and some fo patina on there and nobody will ever know! 👍
I think you did a good job on it don’t stop can’t wait to see what’s next
Great job buddy. 3rd tune is a great track, thanks.
I love your videos and work ethics but I tell you if you would clean all the paint off the metal especially that black coating on patch panels before welding you would see a huge difference in welds you wouldn't have to grind them so much to flatten them out keep up the work
Good stuff.
Portable SAND BLASTER would work for BOTH CHANNELS!
LOOKS GREAT MAN!!!! especially for a 1st timer!
I would like to see a video on a fishing trip. We know you like to fish
whooooo Isaac!!!!!
I think it looks great man. Always a joy to watch a master at his work👍👍
I kinda like her original gold color! But the blue is sweet
I love the music. Close enough to sound good but not exactly soooo it doesn't enfringe copyright. Genuise.
That’s how pros do they just put tacks on patch panels and use bondo all cars came with bondo from the factory when that truck was made!
I've all the confidence that you'll have it looking fine, great job can't wait to see all the fabrication being done on this classic ride. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
I've done q lot of this type of body work. I think you done just fine. It would have destroyed the top of your fender if you had tried to remove that brace. Your off to a good start.👍
Looks good. Here in Minnesota that truck would be rust dust by now. May be match the faded paint and shoot it with the harbor freight small guns , but not good job need it to match. Let a little red primer show thought in spots.
3 house scales stacked on top of each other........itll be fine...........
Nice save
Flanging tool makes nice flange to weld patch to
Getting close to 100k Ike . Keep going .
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Not bad there Doctor!
Looking good Ike.I had a Landcruiser Fj62 that I had to build rockers and quarters for.At the time,I couldn't buy the aftermarket pieces.So I used a vice,a hammer,and a 2x4.First time ever fabbing body metal.Turned out great!Love that C10!
Very good work bro......I'm impressed!
Love the truck and you doing awesome job 👏
Looks great so far.
I have the same self confidence issues when it comes to fabrication and what not it is definitely a practice makes perfect kind of profession. But it looks good and it isn't rusty anymore so tbat was the goal.
Beautiful truck, Isaac.
Dude…at 18 minutes in, it is obvious that you know way more, than how to change oil on a BMW.
Your bodywork skills are top level!(not sure I would even know how to properly know how to remove a fender…let a lone patch it properly.)
👍👍❤️
looks good to me as long as it does its job you good. keep it up buddy great work.
Good job on the fender.
We bought a 66 camper special with the 292. 6 cylinder . Torky 3/4 ton..
Looks good! I would have done it the same way!
Great vid!!!!
Love the truck
nice job man!
hey Issac LMC truck has front fenders new for $189 hardware kit $19.95 and inner fender wells for $119 if you need it , i have found there parts to be well priced and very high quality !! Good luck
Yeah my Dad held on to my granddad's 66 and put it in a barn but when I went to pull it out and start a project the old farm truck it haul nitrogen and the nitrogen had rusted to frame into right behind the cab the back of the cab was eating out the front of the bed was eat out my dad just finally parted it out for front fenders front clip and glass
Nice job. Good progress. For sure. Love those midsixties Chevy trucks. I have had a 1963 and and 1968 Chevy's
nice job man.
Nice work Isaac, I felt Your pain when You had to cut it; Hope the paint matches up nicely, thumbs up from Me...
i love my 66 c10 - got it from my grandfather... putting new rad in this weekend
I have had a lot of these trucks and panels in my early days. I think they are the best looking trucks ever built.

It's a beautiful old truck and it's in good hands. I wonder if this truck spent some time further north where the roads are salty in the winter.
