For those that are new to welding and working on thinner metal, change your wire, drive rolls and tips to .023 Also, I hope you are using a respirator with the right filters. Great video.
Thanks, definitely agree with the respirator and ppe, I If you're just starting out , .025 would probably be a good choice for thin metal. I use .035 for Everything across the board for up to 1/4. Thanks for the info
Hi, New subscriber here. I was not going to watch your video since I can weld a booger and grind it smooth for days. I though I might learn something so I watched it. Very impressed with the quality of the video and the instructional content. I definitely learned something and believe the best tip is that spot blaster. I will be getting one of those before my next build. Now, onto your other videos to see what else I can learn. Thanks!
I really appreciate the support ! I'm happy that you were able to pull something you can use from the video.Thank you for the subscription.Welcome to the family !
Hell yeah brother as a welder I tell all the lads that have not been to school or don't know or New welding is 95 percent prep and 5 percent pull the trigger when the helmet drops the bullshit stop's God bless from Canada eh
That's awesome. I hope the video helps, I've got a 182 other videos. You should be able to find something that will help you out there. In the playlist, if you run into trouble. Ask a question in the comments. I'll do my best to help you out.
@@guzzifabrication3448 you already got me to order the spot sandblasting tool. If you have a link to a shopping list where you could get something for the things we buy could help you some and us trying to do the best job we can A LOT
Along way from the silver button.... but I'm happy with what I have ! Started in 2021, 182 videos.... I think I'm finally starting to figure this out.... Thanks for always supporting the channel ! you are valued !
I enjoy your tips and videos!! I just wish my rusty VW was made of thicker metal.... pinholey 22ga, galvanized, hard to get in to clean without chopping the whole car apart.... no patch panels available.... gotta love road salt! But it's a great way to learn! Thanks for the videos!
Much appreciation , Your expertise is perfection. I have done PDR and paint repair for the car Dealerships for 25 years ( mobile) . Recently a Dealership gave Me a bay to set up in ( rent free ) I'm learning light to moderate rust repair, I live in Alaska, lots of decent trucks with rust above the wheel arch. 😊
With thinner gauge sheet metal you can reduce your heat input and distortion by switching up your shielding gas to a low CO2 formula. One shop I worked at we had a lot of 90-10 Ag to CO2 as we did a lot of spray transfer on thicker metals. The 90-10 on sheet metal reduces the heat and penetration that 75-25 will give you. If you have access to a low CO2 gas, give it a try. It may get you out of a jamb!
Clearly example that “Is not the arrow, is the indio” a mexican saying. In a globalized world we need people like you, lot of good comments to do like: look the brands a lot of people trying to call attention with sophisticated brands and your explanations, still thinking you are the level people should have putting attention on it. 5th video and still having me entertained you deserve glory 👍🏽🔥
Quality sheet metal work like this deserves more exclusive products. Rustoleum has its place (frame, etc...). Etching primer or Epoxy would have been a better option. Keep up the good work!
Hey Guzzi. Great video. I'm restoring a 1940 Buick and I'm new at this. It's a hobby. I love that vacuum blaster. I will look into one. Amazon has one with a recovery system and a vacuum system. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Hey Guzzi. I like the fact that you answer comments. I do the same. I figure if gearheads take the time to watch and make a comment about my channel, I should show the same respect and at least answer the comment. I enjoy sharing any info that may help others👍👍🍁
Rob! Good to see you back man, that Harley video really blew up had like 200K views in two days. Love to see you work brother, take care of yourself we need you around!
Watching this video was the most valuable 10 minutes of my day and I learned a lot, thank you. Very nice work and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You do it so well that it seems to be easier than it really is. Thank you for sharing your technique of doing things well. Greetings from Ensenada, Baja California Mexico
Sir you do under stand this trade the more vises grips the better welds retired after 53 years in this trade your a smart craftman journey men are hard find
That's to nice of a weld for me because now I wouldn't be able to identify where the welds were incase I had to remove for some reason. I just wouldn't sand them smooth. I been doing the same but I would just use a scribe tool to scrap off the plug weld surface. Thanks for the tip !
It's time to scrap my antique mig welder. I spend too much time grinding down bad welds. I have a spot blaster but never used it for that. Thanks for sharing that tip.
90% Fit up prep, clean material, correct machine setting 10% welding skill.... What kind of machine do you have? are you using shielding gas ? Thanks for the comment !!
The funny part is the distance between doing a job correctly and half baked usually isn't that far.... whatever a person does they should take pride in it to be the best they can be. Thank you for the compliment !🙂
Oh my goodness! Great fantastic video & even Better teaching! For the encapsulater have you tried KBS out of indiana? Its Kleen Blast Seal I love it and its always pliable after it dries. Thanks again! I'm 100% sure i will Subscribe!
Great video! Very good tips! I'd like to add one tip I use, plug weld pliers. They really help when your plug isn't as tight as it should be prior to welding. Just my tip to others.
I have been watching your quarter panel replacements on all your impala builds. You do excellent work! I was wondering if you have ever used NOS quarter and if so what was the difference. I have a 1969 impala convertible and I have NOS convertible quarters for it.
Thats a great question and I want to caution you..... unless they are true N.O.S made in the 70s... it's not really N.O.S I've seen genuine GM parts they are pushing these days.... watch: th-cam.com/video/FNeEADO5X50/w-d-xo.html That video will tell you all you need to know about what they are selling as N.O.S. parts. Thanks for the compliment and thank you for supporting my channel ! you are very valued !
Great video, as always. I scratch the e-coat off my panels with a pick. I don’t think blasting is a good idea because you’re going to force sand between the panels which will hold moisture and possibly cause rust. So when they are all laid up, holes drilled, I scratch them clean and blast with air. Just my $.02
@@guzzifabrication3448 I decided to let my fingers do the walking and I found it or one that looks like it on Tractor Supply's website for $12.99. If they have it I'll definitely get one. Thanks for the tip. 👍
I bought that years ago at harbor freight, unfortunately it looks like they may not be available anymore. I'll keep an eye out if I find any I'll message you .
This vid shows that no matter how long you have been doing this kind of work there are still new things to learn. That sandblasting tip is gold.
The sandblasting trick is the best prep method by far, much better than grinding the back side. Thanks for the comment !
Beautiful work man, your a true professional.
Thanks brother

Very nice job welding that panel. That Lincoln welder is a great welder that is what i use

Another good trick is to use a dull drill bit to remove the coatings..great video!
Outstanding young man! Where can we get the blaster that vacuums the sand? It kinda looks like it's something that Eastwood might sell.
I picked that one up a harbor freight several years back, I don't think they still sell them. It came with different cones, super little blaster.
