Trev!!! Where is the singing and opening monologue !!!! I need old Trev back !!! Being a 3M myself I watch most metal working videos to see the different conclusions of metal forming usually dictated by one's shop of equipment!! But the Trev brings the most interesting views of metal working and showmanship out there!!!! Love the Trev !!!! Don
I love how you often throw in some philosophising into your videos Trev. Great to see the van out and about and creating income after all your work. How chock-o-block it is when packed up!
I think it’s great that you are promoting small businesses in your area. Quick detailer is just what you need when you arrive and want to make the van it’s best arriving at a show. Definitely do a filmed visit to them.
Another great video, having tried to do my car doors I realise how difficult it is to achieve the results you do. I would love to see a video of the Revive company.
really enjoyed the blogs, learnt a ton of stuff which has helped my with my fiat projects. Do you know anyone in the Cheltenham area that has the metal magic like you? . I have a NOS rear panel that I had been shot and blast, rather enthusiasticly and now has distortion dents. thanks.
@Eastwood Company, *you've gotta bring this guy over to the States! Just imagine the reactions amongst the crowds in attendance; Trev would be a "definite draw", whom we can all learn from! *after the COVID situation becomes manageable, and people once again become people. @Trev's Blog; greetings from somewhere 'along the other side of the pond'; At 017:37, I'd venture a guess that the "Spirit of Fred Dibnah" abounds around the 'collar beams, collar ties, and connecting ties' of that very impressive structure.
I’ve got many cars I’d like to build/restore I’ve always liked the mk2 zodiac or Zephyr. A 32 Ford coupe would be amazing. Another project I’d love to do would be to design and build a Ferrari inspired hand built aluminium 60’s style car. Avoidance I’m not sure really? I’ve ended up getting involved restoring cars for people that have absolutely no idea how big the project is to start with. This has always been a big mistake getting involved because once you start you end up owning the problems, even if you pointed these problems out at the start. I think the shear amount of work apparent at the start would put me off rather than the type of car it is. I don’t really have many car dislikes to be honest. Cheers Trev 👍
@@trevsblog Thanks for taking the time to reply, I know you are busy and I appreciate it. Stay safe and best wishes to you and family. Steve, (Australia).
Can't wait for my eye get better after an op, so I can put some of these tips into practice on the bashed tub of my old two wheel drive mk3 Hilux !!! However you haven't mentioned the technique I've mainly relied on up to now, which is using non destructive dent pullers ie those using hot glue tabs or the far less effective suction cups. I think you've mentioned the spot weld dent puller tabs but your opinion on the glue tab technique would be very welcome due to there advantages with poor back panel access and in some cases no paint damage. I fabricated a three point puller out of some quick clamps to improve the the pulling torque and load spread of the two point puller that came with a cheap kit.
I briefly got involved with hot glue and PDR methods, but on the whole I’ve always worked as a panel beater and then the companies I worked for would employ a third party to come in and perform these repairs, allowing us to continue with the heavier panel damage or replacement. I enjoyed having a go myself and had some measured success but it wasn’t always a case of having too much work to do, not enough time… cheers Trev 👍
Hy Trev, great work as always! Would it be possible to instead of priming to put a clear coat on? Is there a clear coat that would stick on the polished metal?
I used to give my models/sculptures a light coat of adhesion promotor then 2k clear coat on the top. It worked but wasn’t perfect. Diamond cut alloy wheels are clear coated with specialised lacquer, I’ve never used it myself. Cheers Trev 👍
Trev, you are a true metal worker and body man! That piece looks on the outside to be stamped out of a single piece of metal. It makes me absolutely cringe when I watch individuals on You Tube building custom vehicles where one of their "close to the end" processes is to cover every seam and weld area or almost all, if not the entire vehicle with filler and "reshape" it. I learned the "old school way" in Britain (Jersey), and I'm proud of that fact! Imagine if you will, in WWII turning out Spitfires and Hurricanes coated with body filler in order to make them look finished🤢 I do realise that commercial shops need to use filler to some extent, otherwise their product would be far too expensive to be afforded by most. As you pointed out, "diminishing returns". Great to see your lovely wife is still operating " The Baking Bird". I would love to hear more about the Revive products and the cost thereof, they look to be very effective. Great music choice!
Great point at 9:30. Realistically there’s a cut off point on working with a piece.. 20 hours at 50/h for one piece and my client might have a stroke haha
Wow Trev It's getting to the point where I wish I was you. I promise not to do any stalking or anything weird & keep practising to get somewhere near your ability. :D
Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos, they are much appreciated, I do have question though and its not metal related. With more, mmm lets say "modern classics" starting to be restored now, how do you repair things like plastic bumpers? The reason I ask I have a polyurethane bumper (PU themoset), factory half painted, there's no damage other than the top painted surface is very wavy and I'm unable to buy a new one. Is there a repair procedure for this before adding filler? thanks again.
Worth noting, most paint requires a certain grit of scratches to key into, don't go too fine on the metal finish or your paint might not adhere properly..... Also, magnificent work!
Just been watching your excellent review of the Metz shrinker stretcher, I know it’s rated for 1.2 mil steel but have you tried it on 1.5 by any chance? Thanks
I haven’t tried it in anything thicker than .9mm. There is a big difference between 1.2 and 1.5. I personally doubt that it would be particularly effective on steel that thick. Cheers Trev 👍
Where we come from matters. Our origins form an important part of a distinctive personality, which can become a group identity when we share these origins. More often than not, our use of language, especially our dialect, is an expression of that distinctiveness. In addition to distinctive words and grammatical patterns, which may not follow the rules of Standard English, people have accents - many English language ones available to listen to here - related to their pronunciation when they speak which can articulate their identity. Dialects and accents developed historically when groups of language users lived in relative isolation, without regular contact with other people using the same language. This was more pronounced in the past due to the lack of fast transport and mass media. People tended to hear only the language used in their own location, and when their language use changed (as language by its nature always evolves) their dialect and accent adopted a particular character, leading to national, regional and local variation. Invasion and migration also helped to influence dialect development at a regional level. Just take the Midlands, for example. The East Midlands were ruled by the Danes in the ninth century. This resulted, for instance, in the creation of place names ending in “by” (a suffix thought to originate from the Danish word for “town”), such as Thoresby and Derby, and “thorpe” (meaning “settlement”), such as Ullesthorpe. The Danes, however, did not rule the West Midlands, where the Saxons continued to hold sway, and words of Danish origin are largely absent from that region.Dialects and accents are not restricted to UK English, of course. In the US, Australia and New Zealand, where English has been spoken for a much shorter period of time than in the UK, you would expect less variation as English has been spoken there for a shorter period of time. But even there, dialects and accents occur and the linguistic influence of settlers who came from certain parts of the UK such as Scotland or Lancashire helped to determine local varieties.A similar phenomenon appears in the UK. During the 1930s, Corby in Northamptonshire received a big influx of Scottish steelworkers. Here, there are features in the local language - for example, pronunciation of vowels in words such as “goat” or “thought” - which we think of as typically Scottish that are still used even by townsfolk who have never been to Scotland. Other factors influence language use, too. One of them is social class. Very many local accents are now associated with working-class speakers, while middle and upper-class speakers tend to use a more standardised English. But this is a relatively recent development. Indeed, until the standardisation of English from the 16th century - when one variety of English came to be used in official situations and by printing presses for the wider publication of books - it was acceptable for speakers of different social classes to speak and write in their own dialects. Then, Latin and French were regarded as prestigious languages, applied by the elite in education, law and literature. Dialects and accents are changing and will continue to change. After all, language never stands still. Some traditional dialects are disappearing, but new urban and multicultural varieties continue to arise. Some accents are deemed “better” than others and certain features may become fashionable. This can be influenced by music. At the moment, linguistic features of “black English”, associated with hip hop, grime, R&B and rap music - such as “bae”, “blood” or “brother”, which can all be used as forms of address - are regarded as “cool” and are adopted by other speakers. In addition, people change the language they use depending on who they are talking to, and why they are talking, for example formally in a job interview or casually to friends and family at home. People also change the way they speak to make themselves understood more easily, a phenomenon called linguistic accommodation. Ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality and age can all affect language usage. And there are also personal reasons for using dialects and accents to identify yourself. I have lived in England for 16 years, but you can still hear my Scottish accent and that is unlikely to change. All the same? Speakers’ language varieties can converge (become more similar) or diverge (become more different). And as the modern world becomes increasingly connected, linguists have wondered whether dialects and accents in general are bound to disappear. There is certainly such a thing as “dialect levelling” - differences between dialects appear to be vanishing, which could be a consequence of the rise of mass and social media. But while there is much discussion about the disappearance of dialects and accents, public interest in the subject is growing.A consensus has not yet been reached. In UK English, some features may be spreading like wildfire through the country, such as people saying “free” instead of “three” - a linguistic change known as th-fronting. But differences persist, and speakers in Liverpool still sound very different to speakers in Plymouth. In my opinion, dialects and accents are here to stay. Humans enjoy being part of groups, and we can consider language as a key means of expressing the perceived differences between “us” and “them”.
@@trevsblog Didn't know you were originally from North of the Border Trev, I have not picked up any tinges of Scot in all the videos I've watched and neither when I spoke to you personally at the farm shop.
