How to PROPERLY Repair a Rust Hole in your Car or Truck (DIY for Beginners)
Rust hole removal and repair. Repairing a rust hole in your car is something that should be done quickly to prevent it from spreading. You can easily do this at home with some practice and get the results you see in this video. I teach you the basics of what welder you want to use and how to weld so you can get started. I answer questions like, should you butt weld or lap weld floor panels? Rust is common at the wheel wells, quarter panels, rocker panels, and floor boards of cars and in this video I show the proper and most thorough way to remove and repair rust.

I love how you edit out all the swearing, kicking things, yelling at the sky and negotiating with yourself to not give up and finish the job. Makes car repair seem so pleasant. :)
I agree
Welding is cool Welding gets it on hard tight So It won't fall off and fail
It's stronger than bolts
Lol
He dosent cuss and has passion
Me for years: "I got to learn how to weld" ChrisFix: "I got you bro"
I got my welding degree from ChrisFix on KZhead!
@Flakse Gaming That's not the point. If you do it as seen on the video you'll have welds that last years if not more. Also this is beginner friendly so not like he's trying to teach the professionals how to get better.
As a 52 yr old sheet metal tradesman I’d recommend someone who has never welded sheet metal to a day or 2 practicing with slow/fast wire speeds and low/high power to get a true feel for welding car body metal. Chris is making this sound a lot easier than it actually is. Practice will mean you don’t need to repeat the job. My new apprentices spend a month (a least) practicing before they touch a customers job.
I've always been afraid of welding, but I was thinking something similar. I've seen enough and read enough to know about welding that its not THAT easy, and especially once you get close to structural joints around suspension. But I think idiots do need to take responsibilty if thinking using super high heat and melting metal is just something you 'pick up and start doing'. But anyting being welded I think thats worth mentioning, do some prep work and maybe take a course or ask a mechanic to watch some welding. My mechanic who just welded my exhaust says he doesn't do body welds, find somebody who does. I like DIY, but welding is definitely not something to make sound TOO easy just because you can find cheap equipment. Its sort of like electrical, yeah you can do it but there's a reason why it takes about six years to get a red seal. But I did like his energy.
I had a blast welding with brand new mig with automatic wire speed and automatic mask. I had only 2 hours of practice and getting my self familiar with that mig. After that welding was so simple because that mig made it easy. I get what you mean tho 😊
I’m a retired mechanic/welder. I commend your good, basic information. Maintenance welding is not really taught in “welding school.” Good job.
can you make a video about oil additives? today auto part stores are full of oil additves.

Chris, you're flexing on us with those dust masks. Gosh.
Awesome video! I've been a welder for over 20 years, specializing in TIG, MIG, MAG, and stick welding. When working with thin metal, I position the welding gun at an angle away from the puddle. This way, you don't add too much heat to the plate, resulting in a flatter weld and less grinding afterward. For metal over .38 inch , I point the gun at an angle into the puddle. Just some tips!
You are the man, ain't cha!
EXCELLENT WORK! This is one of THR BEST KZhead tutorials I have ever seen. I'm an older guy, I have done some of this work before and I Iearned SO MUCH. Your style is GREAT. No BS and random chatter, clear, articulate and friendly. Well edited! It's also apparent that you are not reading the material , which leads to a stiff-sounding presentation. On top of all of that, you have a very positive way of making challenging work seem very approachable to beginners. This is a truly rare skill. And you don't gloss over anything (which can be so frustrating) Lastly, the amount of REALLY useful tips you throw out like popcorn is really amazing. The vent techniques, disconnecting the battery, proper grounding for the weld, the flashlight trick....so useful. Honestly, I have never contributed to a KZhead creator before, but I'm going to send you a few bucks. And subscribe. Thanks so much for a truly excellent presentation. Five stars.
Chris: *smacks car* "This baby can fit so much structural integrity in it."

Chrisfix's top tools: 1. Soapy wooder 2. Safety glasses 3. Disconnection of negative terminal on battery
Any time you look up any repair procedure from a manufacturer's repair manual, removing the negative terminal is often the first step. It's a universal safety tip.

FYI your mig welder’s wire spool is upside down, the wire should have a natural, strait line, for all you English speaking readers, the wire shouldn’t be bent, and is so, a little bend. For all the people who still don’t understand, the wire needs to come off the spool from the bottom on this specific welder, the manual is a true legend for dangerous equipment, look it throughout. Btw I think you had your weld settings almost perfect, if you look at the tack welds, you’ll notice a little dot, we call that a fish eye, it indicates (for me) perfect or near perfect settings, so good job man! Helpful how-to’s always are needed!
thanks for the tip!
@@chrisfix no problem, sorry if that was a bit of a smart reply, I just was trying to help out anyone with the setting up part of the welder.
I’ve been doing my own rust repair before that car even existed but thanks to you, I need to make a shopping list for my ongoing projects like a nibbler for tight spots and flexible duct for my shop fan. I already have some items on hand like IPO to wipe down weld material, LED light for locating pinholes at night, plastic wrap and argon to displace atmosphere from paint cans. Great explanation of stitch welding and the use of reference marks, too!
As a wise Canadian once said: Your welds should sound like bacon. If they smell like bacon, you're on fire.

Chris fix is such a good KZheadr. He is someone who actually cares about his viewers, and is not in it all for the money. He goes back on old videos and actually reads all of the comments thanks for being a good youtuber!
not in it for the money? every1 that makes a channel does it with hopes of making at least a little extra money.

Just 1 video packed with more information than others can put in 5 videos!! Always amazing job!! Well deserved the almost 10 million subscribers Thank You man
This is a great vid, my 95 M3 has a gnarly rust spot located right under where the battery goes in the trunk. I relocated the battery to buy some time but I hope when I get to it my repair comes out as clean as this one. You broke down the process really well and made it seem super doable and manageable to do yourself, thank you!
I'd just like to say that the way you talk to us with such high confidence, is a huge morale builder.
meanwhile barberss, hairdressers and waxolgists are like, "put the shears down, don't try to wax at home everrrr" maybe you'll still suck at it, or maybe you'll suprise yourself with practice. Instilling confidence like Chris so refreshing

Thanks Chris, I have migged panels before, years ago. I think your video was very informative on all issues from the mig welder right through to sealing the job. Well done, top job.👍
Im 57 and have always wanted to learn how to weld. This video is great. It was cool to be able to see you weld. Im sure ill have years to learn but this is very informative.
Just gotta get a welder, watch some videos, and start practicing and learning. As long as you wear a mask to protect your eyes, don’t weld anything except bare steel (no galvanized) and use hood gloves you can learn the basics without getting hurt.
Chrisfix : Hey Guys! Neighbor : ahh shit here we go again
The neighbors kid is in blue gloves filming himself again
Lmao🤣🤣
Lol
If I was his neighbor I would set up a KZhead channel called Neighbor of Fix (of course would blur his face out)
@E Woody well considering he lives in New Jersey and I live in Virginia so, I don't really have to worry about it.
I don’t know why but I watch Chris fix even when I don’t have anything to fix.
Now you know what to do if you have to fix something :p
Same here! I would probably never do it myself, but man I find it entertaining!
I started of the same way, but a few months ago my car wouldn´t start so i followed ChrisFix video on how to find the problem and fix it :) Now the car runs perfectly :) And i saved a lot of money doing it myself, my car is going in for its yearley check-up tomorrow and i hope that it comes out with a clean bill :) Otherwise i can always find the answer on chrisfix channel :)

I would LOVE another welding video, I love the way you explain processes in depth but still understandable and encouraging
Chris is always so good about details when he is explaining these repairs, especially with the "what ifs ".
Anybody who is judging those welds negatively hasn't tried welding thin sheet metal before.. Nice work!
Thanks a lot! It was my first time welding metal this thin and it was solid by the end of it so I would call it a victory!
People who judge welds done on car bottoms don't usually know jack shit about welding anyways...
@@chrisfix of course it is. Best car GUY I konw. Big well done
Yes,its very hard especially when you're trying to keep a human in there
Anybody who is judging harshly are those who leave a splatter trails.

When you had the gasless welder out my heart sank... but then you told us that you can't use it for sheet metal and I nearly cried with joy. Thank you, perfect video.
I love your videos, you pay so much attention to detail. Especially your interior and exterior detailing work. I love how you show that professional results can be had with common tools in your own driveway. And how you list the sources of it all. Your tips give me lots of inspiration for cleaning up my show car. One thing I’d like to see if you haven’t already, is making cloudy chrome or faux chrome window trim shine again. If anyone could do it and describe it well it’d be you. I’m self taught and do the same as you, with the pulse welding, cooling just enough to join the pools and penetrate without blowing through. However I never tried the non ferrous metal backing to fill holes. I just build the weld. In any case, you got great welds for the application. All it needs is to be solid. But one thing noticed in this video is you only removed the undercoat for a small distance around the edges. I’ve been welding thin auto floors and things for years (though only with flux core). And in my experience, any nearby undercoat or seam sealer will ignite from the welding heat. Every time. Did that happen on yours? I know a guy who burned his car to the ground that way as he wasn’t checking beneath. I’ll remove it all from the panel before starting. (You’ll want it gone so the paint will stick anyway.) I always make sure that anything that will melt is held loose from the area. And anything like hoses or wires or lines passing near the area, I cover with an old sopping wet towel. And keep a spray bottle on hand, and check the opposite side repeatedly to make sure nothing is burning. Any question that I’m near the gas tank, I’ll either shield it with a sopping wet towel, or just take it out if it’s not too difficult or if it’s a big job.

Chris your videos are magical! Thank you so much for your patient guidance and expertise. One might think you're 50 years old from how much you know. I wonder if I would have been brave enough to tackle this type of task if I had decided to keep my 2004 Mazda 6 hatchback with its famous rear wheel arch and rocker panel rust. That job seemed so daunting.
Fabricator/diy bodyman here. Excellent display of the basics and how to solve a simple issue, the only thing id have to add is that when you go to stitch the panel, to make it look as flush as possible and keep distortion to a minimum: I like to skip around each corner of the panel with one/two stitches and everytime ive passed 4 corners ill stop, wait 7 minutes to allow the metal to cool for a bit. Really allows you the option to take the beads down with a sanding flap to appear flush with the shape of the paneling around it👍
Cool

@@dr.vegito i didnt do that. Why is that written on it? Don't understand..
you've got me feeling brave about patching some rust holes on my 76 Fairlane, the plan is to start on the couple of holes in the floor and then do the visible stuff. Thanks for the tip!
Exceptional tutorial, explaining all the things I need to consider before starting a similar repair on my car.
Who else doesn’t have a car Buh genually enjoys his videos
I'm glad you still enjoy the videos!
ChrisFix Hi, can u please show ua how to replace Back/rear Left passenger seat belt for Toyota Camry 2001. Ur video are very clear, informatif n helpfull. Thank You in Advance.
Yes..I have a newer car but he’s so cool and everyone’s friend
Used to have a mk3 Toyota Supra that was fun to fix and work on and zoom around in, but was too annoying to be a regular car, this reminds me those times haha
Meh
Nobody, absolutely nobody Chris Neighbours: He is talking to his car again
Sir Kimly. I really doubt anyone thinks that in todays world.
Martha! that kid is speaking to his cars again!!
Many car enthusiasts talk to their cars.
poncho828 yeah but I’m generally not talking so politely to mine!
@@steveABCDEFG exactly lol.
still waiting for the Turbo del sol video 💯
Thanks Chrisfix, you really showed a great overview of the welding, I'm starting to practice, so seeing what to look for was very informative!
Imagine banging on the finished welds to check if its solid and the welded sheet of metal just falls of....
I was thinking the same thing. If i had welded it together and banged on it just like Chris, It would've fallen out on me.
Ha! I replaced the towel rod on my bathroom a couple weeks ago, and I was able to screw the brackets into the studs instead of the rinky-dink drywall anchors the rod came with. I was bragging to my wife how strong it was going to be and thumped on it to prove my point and it fell off the wall! Turns out I didn’t tighten the set screws enough, but it was crazy embarrassing!
B J Norton. Hope the studs stay up.
danger to manifold
At that point I’m giving up. Coming back an hour later and doing a lap weld and hope for the best 😂
Me: I need to get to repairing the rust on my race car Chris Fix: hey guuuuysss
lol was the video just in time?
I can relate! And yes, perfect timing. Very informative, thank you!
Rust is lighter than carbon fiber though...
@@chrisfix Yes sir. Got hole just like that in the rear floor pan of my RSX track car that I've been postponing for a year now. Figure this quarantine time is as good as any to get it taken care of.
@@chrisfix yep perfect timing
Wow, watched a significant amount of DIY videos, your ability to explain in simple terms is outstanding
I dont have a car but I love watching your videos and hope to implement these learning to my future car. You're a master at teaching people who know nothing.
Something something hole looks like Africa.
That's what I said!! (my comment was 1 day before yours! :D)
Came here for this. Thanks!
I bless the rains down in Africa.......or in this case the rains that caused this Africa to appear in the floor!
More like Venezuela I think
A day later: Craigslist: "Florida car - no rust"
lol hi johnny knoxville and welcome to jackass 😂
Myself I like to keep your cut a lot more square much easier to cut new piece and fit
Wouldn't be lying lol.
Great video, thanks Chris. I am looking at getting a classic truck and they all have rusted sheet metal, so this will come in handy. I like that you included welder recommendations and tips.
qatched a lot of welding tutorials but this is probably one of the best ones I have seen so far! SO much SO I am bookmarking this video to come back to if I need it !!

I enjoyed this because you show the beginner default up front. Not intent on breaking the bank on someone starting out. Safety and general care is great. Show mistakes and how to FIX the problem. Nice work. Thanks Something I can direct my students to.
I really appreciated the mask and vacuum recommendation. There's no point in harming our health and shortening our lives over fixing a car. Taking a few small precautions can make doing what you love easier. Definitely subscribed.
