This is probably the best bending tutorial I’ve seen. Nice work!!
Wow, thanks!
@BeAMetalFabricator damn I thought your abbreviated channel name meant Bad Ass Mother F er...lol great job
gave me inspiration to tackle my pinch welds
@@ironmike742 AKA 😎👉
@@johnSR32 its petty simple man you can do it!
Well done. No goofy rambling, no stupid music, just great instruction. Excellent.
Hey thank you I appreciate that!🙏
Like he said. No stupid music! Nothing ruins a good video with craftsmen that want to be musicians!@@BeAMetalFabricator
I could not agree more. I listen to Pandora almost 12 hours a day, but nothing irritates me more than an instructional video that tries to be a music video. BAMF: Excellent workmanship and superb instruction!
I like rambling and goofy music 😂🤣🤔😜
yeah. i been working on not being that way. its a challenge at times tho
i am speechless. this is a level of workmanship i didnt even know was possible to achieve. beautiful work
haha what a complement man thank you!
lol
Genius!!!….No fancy $30,000 tools and equipment. Just simple tools most DIY’ers realistically have around their garage…Sir, you just got yourself a Subscriber!…👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the sub bro! I really appreciate it!! Glad you liked the video
Just $30k of Labor, LOL.
tig welder tho...
👏 You could’ve probably given this guy an avocado seed and 3 tooth picks and he would of still did that fender. PLEASE KEEP the videos coming!! Love this channel!
Haha Thanks Gabe!
Great job
@@scottsprague9974 Thanks bro!
The only thing I would even think to add to this tutorial is explaining corrosion protection when the fender brace is welded back in. Weld through primer is always a nice bit of added insurance. Great work! 👍🏻
You are right that will need to be coated. But coating it with por 15 would have delayed my video another day so I will spray some rust preventative in the gap between the brace and the panel I'll put that process in the video next time. Thanks for the tip
Brother the level of skill on this little repair is unbelievable. Very impressive. All you young fabricators and pannel beaters learn from this guy
❤....that ,,INK Marker...very fine..eh...bigger be easier...right..??
exactly!
Wow, that was so well done without an expensive bending machine, bead roller etc. Well done and I really appreciate that there was no innate waffling.
I've been in the trade over 30 years .I love seeing it done right very nice work!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Incredible work. You made this look easy. The mark of a true craftsman 😎
Thank you very much!
Nicely done Tubal! In the appraisal world, I often come across subpar patchwork. You've done a perfect job on this repair. The next person to inspect the truck won't have any idea that it has been repaired. I'll be following your videos as well as your business.
My Jaguar XJS only comprised subpar patchwork so I ended up replacing everything below knee height.
I’m brand new to auto body, you make this look so easy! If my patches turn out half as good as yours I’ll be thrilled.
Thanks man! keep at it! you get better and better every time you do it, and if not, you will at the least learn something every time. I know I do.
Incredible work. When you explained what you were going to do, I thought, “PFFFFFT - okay…” then you went to work and blew my mind. Very impressive
😂😂😂 that's awesome dude! 🙏💯
"Hammer off dolly", what a useful and descriptive phrase that should be used more.
Exactly what should be done to fix this type of repair. Nice to see such great skills and ability to explain exactly what is going on with the repair and fabrication. Thanks!😊
Absolute artistry! I’ve often wondered how true panel beaters (a rare skill today with most shops just slinging bondo) get the patching and weld to look so flawless. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man I appreciate the complement.
Maybe you should look up modern I-Car repair procedures- shops aren't "just slinging bondo" if they want to pass re-inspection.
@@actually5004Sadly most of the work I’ve seen is repair shops who are working to insurance companies who place pressure to work down to a price rather than up to a quality. While I accept the level of repair in this video isn’t required for a typical fender bender, my experience (in Australia) is that it’s the insurer who signs off on repairs and it’s typically a risk management approach of “near enough is good enough”.
I love the tape patterns. Personally I like 1/2" or 3/4" fiberglass tape as the base and then packing tape to hold it all together. After peeling it off I line the adhesive side with more packing tape. The fiberglass gives the pattern a shape memory which really helps in panel shaping and then it's reversible.
Yes I love that! I learned that technique from Wray at pro shaper with the fiberglass tape. I use it when I am shaping metal. I was just basically making bends on this fender so I used masking tape. Thanks for watching! And for the comment!
New subscriber, great video. No annoying music, just fantastic instructions. Thank you
Thanks for the sub!🙏💯💯💯
This is the first time I've seen the detailed steps needed to make a patch. Great work, sir. Thank you for making the video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I was proud of my panels. Though i could still see a tiny line where i didn't get it blended as well as I should have. Your panel almost disappeared into the original. Well done my man! Thank you for the video
Thanks for the kind words and watching my video!
You should also show a "DON"T DO THIS" when using a cutoff wheel without a guard. When one disintegrates one day (and good chance it may) - you cannot react quick enough to miss the 'flying shards of death' - better to be safe than sorry - I have a scar from using an unguarded wheel about 40-years ago. It is always amazing what a bit of ingenuity//smart thinking and some scrap tube can do to go towards doing a professional job, and watching these types of videos reminds me to use my 'smarts' - not always look for a high $$$$ piece of equipment to solve the issue. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Good call I should definitely be doing that or at least a face shield!
@@BeAMetalFabricator I run guards on my bigger cut-off tools, but not on the 3" one. It truly gets in the way too often, either physically or by blocking my view of the cut. I do, however, wear glasses AND a face shield almost 100% of the time. Hopefully that will be enough to stop a fragmenting disc should it ever happen
Great video! Straight forward and to the point. Thanks for leaving it any stupid music and just fast forwarding through your work, giving simple explanations of what you're doing or gonna do next. Reminds me of my old shop teacher! Keep it up!
Thanks bro! I appreciate that 🙏
Excellent way of saying what you are thinking and doing . Some videos have no narration and they drive me crazy. Thank you
Proof that the job done correctly adds quality, bet it took less time fabricating that patch versus shaping layers of bondo. Totaly inspired!!
Thanks man that means a lot!
Always great to see a professional at work.
Best patch work I have seen! One tip you might consider,they sell Quart cans of cold galvanizing[97%zinc powder in clear epoxy] brush both sides of inner panels then weld together.the product dries quickly and is very rust resistant.
Great tip!
very impressed with the simple way that you made the template for the curves saves a lot of measuring a lot quicker and accurate too 👍
Excellent work. I am new to anything automotive, but I can see myself taking the time and thoughtfulness that you gave to this particular repair. Obviously many years of hands on experience has brought you to this level. I can only hope to be half as good.
Hey man thank you! glad you liked the video!
Wow. Very impressive work. The patch looks fantastic.
Interesting method of making the pattern with the the tape. I wouldn’t have thought of that. You make a good video. No stupid music and you explain what you’re doing in a simple easy to understand way. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the complement and the view brother
A pleasure to watch! Thanks for taking the time to post it.
the way you do those bends makes it look so easy and sort of disguises the tremendous feel you have for metal...you got the touch man
Hell yeah dude Thank you!!!!!! I love this shiz
We got our first TIG when I was senior in high school (1972). Until then only gas and arc. What a dream that was. Nice soft welds. We plannished all the welds first, then ground.
I love it!
Love the way this guy gets straight down to it, no endless unneccary waffle - lovely work.
Thanks Man I appreciate the feedback!
Just a master craftsman making it look so easy. Thank you!
You are so fast and accurate on your work. Excellent. Can tell you been doing this for many years.
Thank you I have been doing it for some time now
Absolutely amazing work! You're truly a master of your craft. One of the best videos I've seen in many years!
Thanks man!
Wow. I'd never have thought a finish like that was possible. Fantastic work
Glad you liked it!
beautiful work you’re a Craftsman
The hero in all this was the 4x4 piece of scrap metal!! Well done!!! It reaffirms my decision to take my MGB GT to a professional!
Watched this last night and I am simply in awe of your skills! When you were done, there was no need for body filler of any kind. I wish I had the skills to do this for my cab corners project coming up. Subscribed!
thanks for the compliment and the sub bro! takes some practice and patients but anyone can learn these skills
@@BeAMetalFabricator Practice and patience, yes, but some measure of inherent skills probably plays a part here too! At almost 68 years old, I'm not sure there is enough time for me to master this technique as you have. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming!
I have a 67 firebird in the family that needs some love. Tutorials such as these are exactly what I’m in search for these days. Happy to say now I’m a new subscriber and look forward to more bodywork videos like these in the future.
Thanks dude! let me know if you need help with something specific and maybe I can make a video to help you solve that problem. Thanks for the sub man!
Always satisfying to see a job done properly. Cheers
Thank you
You sir are a master of panel replacement. Eyeballing those curves is impressive.
Many thanks my friend!!
bro, that patch you made is awesome. you broke that down so well, you got me believing I can make a patch panel for my 280zxt fenders. thanks for the great vid and great tips.
Right on man! You can make the patch just take your time and get the panel as close to the curves as possible!
Great video! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀😎☮️ I learned heaps in that one video. Thanks heaps for all your efforts,. You can not imagine how many people around the World have had an uplift in confidence after seeing you do a replacement section in a car panel. Please keep up the great work☮️🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
thank you bro, that means a lot to me! I hope I can inspire people to give it a try
I am impressed by your workmanship and I learned a lot. Thank you.
Glad you got value from it my friend!
Excellent work and excellent instruction. I'm glad the algorithm suggested your channel!
Thanks bro! Glad I can help!
Nice work. No goofy music or no unnecessary comments. Great stuff. Thank you
Thanks G. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Now that all makes sense to me. Straight and to the point. Thanks for sharing your skill with the rest of us.
Absolutely glad you got some value out of it!
That turned out beautiful. You are certainly a metal artist. Great job.
Thank you very much!
It's so nice to see professionals doing a real job. Greetings from Norway !
Thank you very much!
When doing rust work, it's very important to grind only the weld with a hard stone, grinding minimally on the original panel. A final light blend with a 60 grit corps disc is the only touching of the original panel that should ever take place. Then dolly the work.
Absolutely incredible metal work… you are truly an artist
Thank you bro!
Fantastic workmanship! I really enjoy your videos keep them coming ! Nicely done!
Thanks Paul! 🙏💯
Great work! I love seeing people use their skills.
That was an interesting way of doing the repair. I'll keep that technique in mind for later.
Grew up at father's Car Lot/Body Shop/Garage in 70's. We did this stuff all the time but with the tooling of that era. MiG & Tig welders were only had by serious pipeliners. So it was stick or Oxyacetylene for us. Lots of warpage!😳🤪😳 I kinda enjoyed makes panels. We used hood from junk cars for material. I didn't appreciate the experience as i should have. Some things i miss about those times but overall life is so much easier with current technology.
Pretty cool man! I love comments like this
Your channel just popped up on my feed. Great work and great video. You were thorough and quick to the point. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your artistry and craftsmanship.
Thanks for the Sub bro!
wow, just beautiful. Even a stamping machine can't make it this perfect
In the days where bog is used extensively it's great to see a tradesman do it right. Great work, loved the video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
You have a good eye for detail. Can't wait to try that on my old Toyota
Wow! Amazing craftsmanship. I'd love to learn from you❤
Great quality work! Thanks for the knowledge sharing. I've got a lot of patch work to do around the Front and rear window channel and the lower fenders like this on my 66 el camino. This helps a LOT !! Thanks..
Glad I can help! Thanks for checking out my video!
Awesome job so well explained and demonstated thought that was amazing really liked the pattern demonstation
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
Sick job mate 👍👍👍 Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Well impressed, simple tutorial with no woffle, EXCELLENT repair. Hats off to u Sir..
Thanks and thank you for watching
Another great video Bruce , found it interesting when you used the lenght of the hose to confirm where the tree roots are located , great job
I think you commented on the wrong video my friend 😂
Yes I did
You should name your channel Perfection Body Work, That is some God level work man superb job !!
Hahaha Thanks bro!
This dude is a damn wizard. That was sorcery. That patch turned out looking like it had always been there straight from the factory. Amazing.
Thanks for the complement Bud!
Excelente ver trabajos tan bien ejecutados, de verdad que es un gusto ver personas tan habilidosas en su trabajo como usted, muchas felicitaciones!
Like the format of the vid. Clear Concise and to the point. LUV the masking tape templating. I've used that method for yrs. and its the fastest most accurate way to make patterns. awsum.
The tape template works wonders you can get quite complex with these patterns depending on the panel. thanks for watching!
always nice to see it done the proper way not the fastest, Coxy
Just a top-notch job, well done and salute to your mad skills!
Thanks bro!
Nice job. Great tutorial. Thanks for posting
This is metal fabrication "press brake" DIY. Excellent accuracy and knowledge of metal forming
You make it look so easy to do. Amazing job. 😀 I have seen other patch jobs were they use a piece of paper to draw the outlines etc. I guess there is more than one way to do the job.
yes always more ways to do something! but I just do what I know has worked for me in the past
Wow you are a real craftsman love this
I just happend onto your video, Perfect patch panel bro. I will be following along to learn more awesome ways to metal working.
Thanks bro! and thanks for being a subscriber! means a lot!
Excellent job. Love the work. The black marker trick is new to me. Great stuff.
Right on man. Thanks for watching!
I am gonna try this patch procedure on a 1942 Farmall Tractor, there are a couple spots I want to patch and this may be the best I have seen yet. Thank you.
Right on man try it out of you have any questions you know where to find me.
the part I want to patch has a hole in it for the exhaust so I have to figure out the diameter of the hole thats needed before I cut the bad metal out. @@BeAMetalFabricator
Yeah I would try to get as much information from that panel as possible before you cut anything out.
Thanks for making straightforward videos with helpful information and techniques. I appreciate rhat you don't use obnoxiously loud/terrible music for intros, transitions, etc.
Glad you like the videos dude. That you for watching them!
Thanks for sharing. Excellent craftsmanship as always.
Thank you, man I appreciate you watching and commenting! I see you😎👉
Perfection at its best - keep up the good work. All the best from across the pond.
Thank you brother!
I retired about 17 yrs ago and it's nice to see hammer and dolly work. It used to be the norm but now its all Bondo . Great job.
Thanks 👍
Damn dude, been bumping metal for decades and gottta say that is outstanding. Enjoy your youth!
Hahaha Yo thanks man!
Wow! You have unbelievable skills! Amazing work sir.
Thank you very much 🙏
Craftsman & Artist right there.
Absolutely excellent work AND a brilliant tutorial...great presentation.
Thank you!!!
Good job. At first, it looked like the patch panel was a bit too big ....... but you nailed it perfectly. I liked the way the video moved right along. Some folks seem to think the sound of their voice is a little too interesting. Stretching things out, as some do, gets tiring. You hit it perfectly. Great post and fun to watch.
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it! I try to get to the point the best I can. thanks for watching!
Excellent work and its more things ive learned which is my main reason for watching videos on youtube, subscribed!
thanks for the sub! I'm glad you learned something!
Exelent very clean and professional keep up the great work mr
Thanks, will do!
Great video and very good demonstration of the techniques used. Simple and to the point. 👌
Thank you for the compliment!
Awesome video brother. I'm new to the body work scene and this is so helpful. Thank you
Glad I was able to help!
This is the neatest patch I have ever seen done. A craftsman at work.🚗
Thank you I appreciate that big time!
You made looks easy. Excellent job!!!! Grettings from Brazil.
What's up Brazil! Thank you very much!
Amazing work, mate 👍.
Brilliant, the use of the template to transfer the bend measurements to the flat metal was a light bulb moment for me. 👍
Right on man glad I can help!
man beautiful fabrication, beautiful cut, beautiful weld. i think your tape trick and marking the bends is genius. but i was most impressed with your fit---up. tig is tricky.
thanks bro! Glad you liked it!
