Looks good however, over time you will see a perfect line of where the patch outline is due to expansion and contraction. The panel bond and glue expand and contract at different rates. There is a time and place for panel bonding but but hints are not the place.
You can get a cheap flux-core welder at Harbor Freight for around $150, yes you’ll need other stuff like a welding helmet and some gloves but get a welder and learn how to stick metal together, it’s a capability you’ll find very valuable. 😎
@@mrbriggs68 Not really…. welders are incredibly siqmple machines now, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a welder anymore to get one that can lay down a decent weld. At Harbor Freight the old black AC welder that goes for around $150 (depending on what coupon you dig up) still kinda sucks. But, they sell a better one, it’s neon green color and goes for around $20 (again, depending on wat coupon you can find. *All of Harbor Freight’s prices have increased in the last few months, thanks to our current administration… 🙄
@@mrbriggs68 they are great welders for the price. I replaced the rockers 'floor pans 'cab mounts and door pillars on both sides on my 1975 Ford f250 4x4. Gotta love the rust belt.
I’m doing a 50” long lower half quarter panel replacement on a Chevy Cavalier using panel bond and a contoured backer strip cut out of a junk yard piece. I’ll glue the backer strip in first like you did, but use Pre-drilled holes and wood screws to clamp it, instead of clamps. Then remove the screws and dab the holes from behind to make a waterproof bond. This method causes zero distortion and no pinholes like welding does. Great to see someone else use this method. I know skeptics will say that you can’t help but get ghost outlines and color bleeding from any type of bonding glue. What does the patch look like over a year later?
@@user-pw7wl3nu1l Fiberglass causes no damage to your lungs, has no carcinogenic effects, and has no permanent lasting effects on you unless severe amounts of it are inhaled regularly. Or you know,... it's burning. Short term, it can cause mild skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation. So obviously wear a mask, but if you don't you're not going to become the next Deadpool.
The 'backing brackets' made from the scrap panel will do the trick, but in my experience.. Using a flange-tool works perfectly. I've probably done a few hundred repairs that way.
Always thought someone would manufacture some truck cab corners and rocker panel covers that could be painted with a spray can and then glued on. It would cover the ugly rust and holes, wouldn’t fit flush but would look good enough for a daily driver truck, and not break the bank!
there is always going to be snobs who get mad when people don't weld in panels. It is like they get disgusted when they see people doing any other type of repair that does not involve welding. Not every fucking car rust/panel repair needs to be welded in. After you do all the needed prep work, rust removal, glue a panel on, and fiberglass, bondo, and paint over it, it aint coming off, its not going to just fall off after driving down the road lol, I dont know where people get that Idea from. If you let it get that rusted out again to the point where it needs to be repaired again, then that is on you, NOT THE REPAIR!
I don't get why for what seemed like 3 minutes of audio was cut from this. I get it. The music likely claimed by some label no one has ever heard of. But geez.....
HaHa, yeah i thought the same thing. Not only do they look stupid, they are held on with some type of glue or tape, and yes step in out of the rain and push down on those and your shoe will probably slide right off.
Ok, This was filmed back in 2006 . You can tell by how young Kevin looks. Dont think you could get a decent welding back then for 150 bucks. Also structural body panel adhesives have come a long ways in 18 years for everyone knocking it.
I hear you - especially when he makes his voice gruff - Kevin has always been great but that is a terrible mismatch - shorts and a dress shirt doing body work - fire the marketing person for these episodes
I wouldn't do this with anything that would be structural. But for patch panels like this, seems like the way to go if you don't have a welder, or the skills necessary to weld.
That dude should rip his shirt off and flex, then say 'oooooooooh yaaaaaaaaa' . So instead of all that, just get spray expand foam, let it just go everywhere and harden, cut and bondo, paint, done. Like 1 hour tops.
Wait a tick! Buying a welder is not in the budget, you can fix it in your driveway, then they put the truck on a lift, yes when we buy or rent our homes a lift in the driveway is always part of the budget, right!? I would wager that there's a lot more folk's like myself with one or more welding solutions and no lift.
Does this work on top of paint? There's a 5" round hole on the floor of my van I'm trying to figure out how to fix it because the floor is corrugated. :( This hole was cut out of sheer laziness by a shop person installing a diesel heater in my van. It's going to be hard to go to bare metal because of the corrugation. I was just thinking of using panel adhesive for a piece on top of the hole, since it's hidden so it doesn't have to look perfect.
I think you forgot boys Peel back the interior panel and expose the inside of that repair Spray a little bit of rubberized undercoating on it Cause it’s not it can rust from the inside out
Stacy David lost all his hair and talks like he is constipated , Someone should start a go-fund-me for this guy , I wonder if he will buy back Copperhead or Sargent Rock first ?
That is some Mickey Mouse repair, the foam will cause more rust to form on the back side. Panel adhesive and this technique is not bad for a DIY method.
@@davidparker9676 I fashioned some steel plates, placed them inside hole with very strong resin, then used steel filler and built up the profile. I cleared the inside sill of rust remnants and applied a couple of coats of rust treatment. After setting and then flattening it is solid and looks like new! Then I noticed the other sill needs doing!
@@MrNaKillshots When I was a kid, I bought a rust bucket and wire wheeled all of the rust I could see, treated it with rust treatment and filled everything with "kitty-hair" fiberglass filler. You know what? It lasted a pretty long time before the rust bubbles came back. I had a guy cut all the rust out and weld in new steel, the rust came back after only a couple years. Proper rust repairs involve getting all of the rust removed or treated and sealed with epoxy primer and cavity waxed from the inside. Rust is like roaches, you see one, there's 1000X more you cant see.
Why is the big boi yelling like a fool? Calm down dude and just talk normal. Will make it hard to watch anything more because i geel like im being screamed at and it grates on me
So u see the pros does this so don't 🤔 think body shop not doing this it's not wrong it's made for this try I'll got my own body shop I do the same process
I love how we've got the juiced up bald guy with a gruff voice yelling at us so we don't forget we're watching men do manly things. That was a slick rust repair though. I've been working on vehicles long enough to know that this build is costing a lot more than 10k too. I don't care what they say.

I like the method used to repair the rust without welding. Very, very nice work.
I like the way he puts the truck on a hoist and works comfortable.
Sure... If you have access to one. But most people don't have one.

Magnets, sanding blocks, glue, cure lamp, air compressor, cut off wheel, clamps, sandpaper, sanding disc, etc.. going to cost as much as welder. LOL
You still need most of that for any paint job.
Plus panel bond is non corrosive and very strong. Lasts forever
@@Chopski64Most people will just rattle can the spot until they have money in the budget for a real paint job.
It's funny how this guy using the mask while putting the filler, not when send in the fiberglass, good job 👏
It's the chemicals that are harmful, not the fiberglass. He also masked up when sanding the primer.

Wasn't real that was a picture welded on.

I use Panel Bond to do these types of repair. It can be sanded to shape too.

You will see a ghost line where the patch is after it ages

I think you forgot boys
Peel back the interior panel and expose the inside of that repair
Spray a little bit of rubberized undercoating on it
Cause it’s not it can rust from the inside out
I saw the shot of the 672 clamps and said NOPE. I'd rather go buy a HBF welder and take my chances haha.
Just get your mig out and do it right, different materials contract and expand over time and you'll see it.
