This guy has no idea that he was reincarnated from the 1960's .. he was one of the original Ford Shelby line workers.. How can anybody this young have so much passion and know how when it comes to these cars in this day and age? Even the way he talks and his mannerisms ! Straight outta Detroit! Think about it ! Much love
He respects and likes that older generation, I know that, and has talked about their work ethic versus today, so good observation.
He’s one of a kind for sure!
Gentleman your point of view about this young man is very interesting, but remember each one of us were put in this world with an assignment, some of use are more skillful than others on every line of work but anyway "THAT IS VERY NOBLE OF YOU, CONGRATULATIONS" blessings to you and your love ones, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
Yeah he's good !! There are a few of us that have the passion like blood in our veins. More years in doing the trade than most ever dream of ... Decades of passion ...
This guy's knowledge and skill is unmatched
Unbelievable, a true professional in every sense of the word.
His attention to detail and level of skill is unbelieveable. I love watching this restoration.
I tried to put the important details in every magazine how-to that I did over the years. Of course, often there wasn't enough room in print. I now have that room and video has advantages over still photos. I am an enthusiast same as you. So, what you wanted to see is what I wanted to see and what I take the time to show. I am a firm believer that success is in the details. Thanks!
@@thewriter2549 We thank you very much for documenting this restoration and sharing it with us all
I would fly this guy first class across the globe and pay him what he wanted and more to restore a Mustang or Shelby for me. His knowledge and skill is unmatched. Love and respect from England UK ❤
Ditto!
I wish I had that dude's hair!!
Ask if he will send you some next time he goes to the Barber.😏
😂😂😂
I too am fascinated by his hair!! 😅
Jerry showing that technology is no substitute for hard camera and restoration work.
I appreciate you.
Sure would like to see him wearing safety glasses doing all the drilling, grinding, chezeling, etc. I worked in tooling at the Arlington, Texas assembly plant for thirty years and saw this type of construction from the start. The men on the line that did the soldier joints on a moving conveyor were true artist. Really enjoying the series.
I believe this man is more then a craftsman imo he is an absolute artist !!! His love of his craft shows in his every move and words !!! PS look at how organized and clean his shop is !!!! That in and of itself shows he is an absolute PERFECTIONIST
Watching this true craftsman at work, you just know how much faster other restorers would be; wham, bam, thank you ma'am. So much effort going into something that no-one, not in his lifetime, is ever going to see. No one will ever know. But he knows! Truly amazing.
I wish I had that talent! Just truly incredible!!! I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Outstanding craftsmanship. Beautiful work. His attention to detail truly impresses me.
This is Genius Jerry!!!! I can't believe that this isn't blowing up viral 😢😅😊. It should be. I love the live hands on restoration... Such a fine car... Certainly my dream ride .. Great Stuff. God bless 🙏
Thanks man.
Elvis continues to amaze with his attention to detail !
Looking great Jerry! I used to own a 67 GT Fastback. Loved putting a coat of polish on those rear quarter panels. Thing of beauty.
What an incredible artist and a craftsman! Kudos and beat wishes😊!!
Wow. It's literally 1967 on the line at Ford. This mans knowledge and attention to OEM detail is surreal. Literally surreal. Great great stuff Jerry. Match those welds brother. Amazing AF excuse my language
*Jerry!* Good to "see" you again, sir. The older we get, the more we appreciate observing another who is truly skilled and dedicated in their craft, eh? I can appreciate what he's doing even though I know I lack the skills. LOVE watching this stuff! Bonus is you're going to have a video journal of YOUR cars' ressurection, too. Hope all are well there and looking very much forward to the next one! - Ed on the Ridge
Thanks Ed, I do this work for car people like you. I have an idea to put together and sell a CD or a thumb drive of the full restoration. What do you think? The restoration is very popular with a small group of hard core enthusiasts.
@@thewriter2549 I think it's not possible to document such an endeavor "too much". I imagine such a production would be welcomed in the Shelby community, surely? - Ed
@@moparedtn Hey Ed - So far, I have not heard from the Shelby community.
Awesome look at very detailed quarter work. Love that hand held spot welder. That quarter will give even more support to the overall body.
Oh man, same here, love the spot welder. I just hope that inexperienced restorers will look at this before they ruin a fastback quarter panel install.
@thewriter2549 The amount of fitting we didn't see prior to your video was probably more than we can imagine. The attention to detail and overall fitment is truly an art.
@@buffdoc46 Possibly, I've done hundreds of how-to's and honestly, there is only so much that people will reveal of their craft and I don't expect them to give away all their secrets. Even if they wanted to, understanding the little nuances of what they are doing is often difficult to get across, even in video. I think the panel fitting Jason did earlier was similar to what he showed us, using the screws to set the fender, moving the door, and making other adjustments. I've written hundreds and hundreds of how-to's for magazines. I always tried to record every step. This is my nature. I want to know. But, at some point, a mechanic will do a step with lightening speed, and I when I question what happened they don't want to say. I get it. Sometimes what they did is hard to explain because it requires a high level of skill and practice. I mean, look at pro athletes, like say a golfer hitting a ball out of a sand trap or from a bad lie and landing on the green next to the stick. Athletes acquire these skills and some of what they do comes from a mixture of pure talent and years of practice. That said, I've watched mechanics perform what appears to be magic. Of course, it's not magic. It is a high skill level.
@thewriter2549 Yeah absolutely, my point was we have to appreciate the work he did while not filming. These aftermarket panels just don't go on lickity split. Have you located an engine? Thank you so much for responding. We are just as excited for you with this build.
He does good work Jerry.
I love that spot welder. It's the first time I've seen this type.
Squeeze type resistance welder is much better and closer to oem function and appearance, plug welding is appropriate where you can’t get spot welds
Yeah relatively new machine tried all kinds this one works better anything i tried lot better than squeeze type can get lot more tight spots and can weld the penetration much as ya want
This guy is amazing
Good morning Jerry, looking forward to seeing the progress on the Shelby!
thanks, please join us for the premiere at 10 am
@@thewriter2549 jerry the king of car vids
Like Butta ! Glad he put his safety glasses on 🤓
Good show. 👍👍 Its interesting watching how skilled & detailed this man is. 🇺🇲
I wonder if Jay Lenno is watching. He could use sombody like Elvis in his "garage". What a talented guy. Meticulus attention to detail. Thats what you want with this level of restoration. You get what you pay for. Quality takes time and money.
AMAZING work! I’m so glad I came across this and subscribed. This is a great series.
She is in excellent hands Jerry. Great to see the maestro at work.
Yes, thank you
Excellent metal work...! Can't get any more detailed than that.
Awesome workmanship
Love the video!!!!!!! I can't wait till it's done!!!!
I love this build here just pray you find a motor for this build And this young man has talent.
A master at his craft. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. I like to show details of the restoration.
The hours involved!!! Gotta be over a 1000!!!!
Peeked on my 67 fastback and the brazing matches up. Great attention to detail.
thanks for checking that out, interesting.
To do the job right you need the right tools. Looks like he does and is. When done it’ll look like a million bucks and should be worth that much !!!!
Jerry, I’m only just catching up on this project, so just watched the last 3 parts. So stoked for you to get this car! Looking forward to seeing it on the road!
I have just finished Part 5 video of the restoration and will publish it sometime today. This will be a Premiere.
Excellent job 👍
Nicely done. Reminds me of the Cobra jet build I'm doing. But with less details.
He could found short cuts for this restoration but he did it right, nice job.
Amazing work!
Makes it look so easy, i guess it helps if your aftermarket quarter panel fits good out-of-the-box, I just did one and it took days!
What happened?
Hi JERRY , EXCELLENT VIDEO . I did not think this level of craftmanship still existed... Does he only work on SHELBYS? Can you give CONTACT INFO ? MUSTANGS all the way here. TY
Send me an email - jerryheasley@gmail.com
Wow! Its looking good! Love his attention to detail. Any idea of time it will take for finished car
Master class 👊🏼🇺🇸
How much time was actually involved in the installation of that quarter? I love following along with this restoration! Thanks.
I'm guessing it was 2-3 hours.
Absolutely beautiful work done here, What is the cost of a restoration job of this quality?
Attention to detail building it better than factory.
Здорово
Seems. Very labor intensive.... what’s a ballpark price for doing this and is all this spot welding and such necessities? And how long does this take?
This vehicle will bring well over a million at auction and could go for over 2 million. that is crazy money but if you want one like this you better have the money! My guess is some one is making at least 100 grand restoring this but I'm clueless about that really. Certainly not an unfair price considering the profit margin on the finished product even if it comes in low. They didn't pay a ton of money for it and the body was in great shape for the age.
Just curious, you do not prime you gaps, just add seam sealer ? I found this a big problem with Toyota trucks,,,,, not complaining, I prime my gaps , then seal them, use epoxy primer
Wow
The trunk drop off early in the video looks pretty bad. Are those hammer marks or rust? Replacement panels are available.
it did for sure, but Jason fixed it, so I guess it was not as bad as it looked
Was Jim Morrisons GT 500 ever found?
No glue on qtr to wheel house ?
Is this the best voice over on You Tube ?
Haven't won any awards yet.
Mig welding in areas where.the factory had the car brazed is unacceptable. There's 2 reasons that those areas are brass. First for flexibility. All unibodies flex as they are driven. The brass provides for flexibility preventing the car from splitting apart. The second reason....to make the area water tight to prevent corrosion which keeps the car structurally sound for a longer period of time.
Then the brass welds in this restoration would serve more than history.
What brand spot welding rig is that he's using?
Where is the part where he was going to curve the bottom of the quarter to match the curve of the bottom of the door at 8:03 in the video?
I have seen brass used in metal work before. Even on bicycle frames. What is the purpose or reason to use brass?
Use of brass or brazing has to do with allowance for stretching. I asked Jason this question somewhere in the videos, but I'm not sure exactly where. I can't quote his answer. I'd have to go find it. I think a lot of people skip around in videos. I know I do that sometimes. However, on these videos you might miss out on information that is nowhere else because we took the time to go into details. Just the editing took over 100 hours for this video. You can get the straight and skinny in 47 minutes. My pet peeve is fat (fluff) in video. This is all muscle.
@@thewriter2549 Thanks for the info! It’s really nice watching that Shelby get restored!
@31:30 So why would you want to MIG weld it vs. Spot Welding? It seems a bit more straight forward and looks as if it takes less skill to spot weld it than it would to MIG weld it. Especially, if it supposed to come that way from the factory. I would think it would take more time to MIG than to do the spot welds.
In the video I said to Jason, "So you'll spot weld where the factory spot welded and MIG weld where the factory mid welded." He said yes. So, as the factory did, we did. Wait for part 4 where he talks about a concours build vs street rod and show car.
I realize people skip around in videos. My videos are stories that stay on topic with no fluff. I was taught that nothing should be included in a story that does not contribute to the resolution. Watch this video and tell me where there is any fluff.
@@thewriter2549 if you're asking me, I don't see any fluff. I wish there was more stuff here haha. I came across your videos while digging through SAAC forum while hoping to one day find my own 67 Shelby that I can keep for 30 plus year until my time is up. Keep up the videos, a lot of the videos on your channel are great and I love the stories that are being told through them at the same time.
I couldn't imagine if the rest of the car was as bad as the Q panels. Geeze the hrs of work.
1.52 Does Hold moisture, or can it rust Out from the ahesive.
The adhesive is corrosion resistant its a SEM product,what ised in current automotive manufacturers,most roof panels are glued on other than few welds in window area ,they use on door skins and alot quarter panels to prevent rust help seal
You don't very very nice job very good
Yep, a really "nice fit". Pie cuts no curves, raised edges ..... not so good fit. What brand was that panel?
Jason has installed original Ford replacement fastback quarters. They are no longer available. We'll have to ask him how good those fit compared to these Dynacorn. This should be interesting. My guess is the Dynacorn fit better. What does anybody else think?
The panels are very well made they are stright unlike most aftermarket and are as thick or thinker in areas than orginal.if you ever installed a quarter panel they always must be made to fit even OEM thies old cars can have four identical panels and each one fit bit different same way with doors and fenders the consistency was not the best then and go back to 50s cars its worse
@MadSceintist you're ignoring how loose the 1960's factory build tolerances are. The chances of a new panel lining up completely perfectly are zero.
@@SaltFlatMonte How many vehicles have you restored or rebuilt from salvage
Obviously N9 clue how to securely weld a car together. That spot welder is for PATCH PANELS not for panel replacements. For panel replacements you use a SQUEEZE RESISTANCE SPOT WELDER which has the CORRECT pressure between the tips to make the car structurally correct...usually the tip pressure is 880 to 1100 pounds which is impossible to achieve with a panel spotter. Doesn't make a bit of difference how nice the welds look if they're not structurally sound.
Luckily his 1200 dollar "spot" welder made hideous looking welds. Half of the welds in the rear window area it looks like he sunk the tip all the way through the 1/4. None would pass a destructive test I'd wager. This is why I've never worked in a restoration shop. I'd get fired for doing it right.
He glued the metal back together and then said the glue is stronger than the weld? As a certified welder from 1980 I'm calling BS on the glue being stronger than weld😮
Manufacturers instructions say SEM Panel Bond is supposed to be used on clean, bare metal surfaces, I hope that doesn’t come back to haunt you…
It will. Any moisture gets in it will rust and separate
Who and where is this restoration guy and does he work on 21 yr old mustangs?
He does. Jason White Customs & Restorations in Hereford, Texas.
The comments kill me. Dude can't even perform a proper plug weld. He'd barely pass an ICar welding class IF he had a very friendly instructor. You don't stitch weld plug welds. I hope he normally wears a respirator and wears gloves while welding but I doubt it. People that watch this crap learn bad habits. I have GOTTA SEE this spot welder pass a destructive test. Very interesting that is.
There is no stitch welding of plug welds. Jason stitch welded where the factory stitch welded. He spot welded where the factory welded.
@@thewriter2549 I watched him do it. His plug welds wouldn't pass any welding test I've ever taken. Google the term Rosette Weld. You perform the weld in one pull of the trigger. You also need a pair of wire cutters to cut the end of the wire clean after each pass. The "spot welder" is a 1200 metal melter. I wouldn't care except people will watch this C minus at best work and think it's great. It isn't .
@@MrBodyman5001Look at how poor the assembly tolerances and welds are from factory. There is very little consistency and there are likely many more spot welds than required to account for how these cars were built. It would be interesting to see each weld method (ex. handheld spot welder, "stitched" rosette, etc.) would pass a tensile test but how many body shops do you know do this? Yes, certification is important for safety in collision repair but almost anything you do extra (ex. extra welds/closer spacing, adhesives, etc.) would outperform the factory 1960's build. Context is everything - a restoration this thorough is not going to be any less safe than it was originally designed and built.
Why spend time cleaning up those spot welds just to cover them up with a thick layer of filler? 😊
You would because the spot welds are functional if for no other reason. Many of the spot welds are readily visible, like the ones inside the wheel wells. What think layer of filler are you referring to?
@@thewriter2549 where the quarter panel meets the roof
@@alcrooks9095 Why spend time cleaning up the spot welds? When they can't be seen? I don't know. That's a question for Jason. I'd say they make the surface smooth for a better fit.
Where's the mini tubs??? Needs mini tubs...
Come on man, mini tubs are for fatter tires. This is a restoration.
Why buy a car so far gone. When you have access to guy who buy wholesale
Man, I'm on planet Shelby. You are in a Ford Galaxie far away.
better get out the lead.
There is something better than lead.
I have used both. True indeed. Used lead on the old Porsche. Metal fill on others.@@thewriter2549
Those spot welds look terrible and this is poorly edited
They're garbage. That 1200 dollar welder might be good for someone who makes yard art and sells it at a Saturday market but that's about it
@@MrBodyman5001Take a look at the 1960's factory spot welds - they're often terrible. They have inconsistent pitch spacing, lack penetration, located on edges, or sometimes missing entirely! We can poo-poo all we want about how the repairs don't measure up to modern standards but remember the rest of the car was built worse than anything being worked on here.
nice work
Looks better than bad chads crap
What doesn't? This is still bad
