Question; You know whats better than doing body work? Answer; watching someone else do it. Keep up the good work.
Well then I agree next time it’s your turn. 😎
One of the few channels that I hit the like button before the video even starts. Always great content. My days of whole car work has passed but I am going to tackle rockers this summer on my daily driver. Thanks
Wow much appreciated! I hope to play cars for as long as I can.
really good info passed on Jon! I love body work! your approach and techniques are spot on and I really like the tip about locking in the door with the left over filler. Gonna add that to my bag of tricks. Thanks for sharing brother
Awesome, thank you!
Great introduction/foundation for intermediate experienced DIYers, showing some good behavior and tips, some that I have forgotten after 100 years in the business.
I still guide coat EVERYTHING. I trust my hands, but rely on my eyes. Your long block never lies.
Great work, as always Jon
100 years wow 😎 I agree the blocks will tell the story for sure.
Been there done that! 150 blocking on 2 year old high build 3 weeks ago. Luckily it was only the body shell, doors & trunk. Oh, but the inside of the trunk was in horrible shape, and a challenge to say the least! Great technique, and another great vid! THX!
Oh wow! Block sanding is a great work or at least i try to tell myself that. 😎
your channel is excellent - keep up the great work!
Thanks will do.
your methods are a lot better than 95% on yt
bare metal
deoxidine
etch prime
repairs finish to 150/180
etch over repair
high build primer min 4 coats
dry block finish to 180
wet sand ,starting with 320
finish to 600 for solids
800 metalics
gap , align, shape metal close as possible
work on 1 panel at a time , re fit , tweak
key is to get filler work done 95 % before primer
the 5% can be picked up by the primer.
done once, follow these step and you'll never apply filler over primer , or multiple times pre primer.
never used , epoxy or sealer.
have never reworked a single car , have only applied filler twice no more than 2% , only on something I've missed .
Very cool. Thanks.
Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Anytime
Jon, when it's time for the sealer, please show the details of the type and mix ratio. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! God bless.
Absolutely!
Your cereal box have me the munchies....😅
My dad gives them to me, they are so handy for many things.
I appreciate the time it took you to film this for us! Body takes soooooo much time!
I have been at the body working for a couple weeks now and maybe over 1/2 done. I will feel quite accomplished when it’s in the paint stage.
Excellent tutorial Jon! This will help a lot DIYers and absolutely helped me with low spots.
Great to hear!
As a guy who's doing bodywork for the first time, I struggle with feeling out the low spots. That tip for using a microfiber towel works like a charm!
Fantastic!
RIGHT
Thanks
Your results are worth trusting. Great details, Jon. Thanks for sharing.
It takes time to get an entire car sorted out for painting and can easily get overwhelming too. Best bet is to break it up into section and try to keep it fun.
John great vlog sir, you expertise is amazing!! Keep up the good work sir!!👍🏽
Thanks, will do!
Good stuff Jon! Love watching and learning on every video you do. I hope to start my body work soon. Thanks again!
Right on! Body working is a bit of an art but totally possible.
Thanks for the tips...great content and looking forward to seeing more....thanks🔧🔧👍
Anytime
Great suggestions!
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍👍 cool, very helpful
Glad to hear it!
Great information for the weekend warrior car guy, me
Right on!
Hey, Jon. Another great video. I have never used the metal spreaders before- only on drywall 😂. Where did you get it. It’s got to be easier and last longer than the plastic ones!
I got them from Amazon, many places sell them now. And they last way longer than plastic ones. There is still a use for the plastic ones on very tight radius panels where you need more flex.
😎
Thanks!
Instead of super thin layers of filler, use Polyester primer, works wonders....
I have a polyester primer that will be going on right after an epoxy coat next, I was told even the polyester primer when used as a filler still had some shrinking issues and really needed to get the body work very close prior to any primer.
great content Jon, you mentioned that you have upgraded your camera. What are you using now?
Camera is my iPhone 14, biggest upgrade was my tablet I use for editing. It allows me to format 4k 60fps. It’s the latest iPad Pro Bigger screen too which is handy for me.
Great video. That fender has history. Not good history, but still history. I do have a question. When you have the rear axle sandblasted. Do you clean them out in case any of the blasting media get inside the axle? That car is looking good.
Yes I pull the cover for a couple reasons, clean it out and inspect the gears and bearings. With that said of the axles I have had blasted I have not found any media in the oil or axle housing.
I have a running 67 Firebird convertible blue and I want to sell it
Do a video and add it to your channel and when you do let me know I can add a link and a short segment promoting it if you would like.
Any issues putting the filler over top of the dry graphite guide coat? I was thinking that it might not stick to that black powder.
Very good question, I have never used this guide coat before. I suppose I will look into that
@@VinylVillageGarage Maybe I just pay too much attention to details that don't matter but I also wonder about using wax and grease remover before applying the body filler so that it sticks like you would do with any paint application. I don't really know what the difference is. In my mind they should be treated the same. If the body filler becomes detached than so does the paint. I lack the experience to know if it matters.
@@stevenpringle7813 attention to detail is key for me as well. Body filler in my eyes is a sponge and chemical you introduce to it will absorb into it. So a cleaner might get trapped and that could be worse than a little dust. So for me between layers compressed air and a wipe down with a micro fiber cloth removes more than enough for me.
When you made the sharpie mistake how did you recover?
Sand it out is the best bet, maybe an epoxy primer might block it from coming back I don’t know if would trust it.
