That’s outstanding. I have a 930 that had the right rear quarter replaced at some point in its life and they did as great a job as you did. Almost impossible to tell other than paint meter reading and the missing factory chip finish on the bottom edge of the wheel arch.

Very very nice work. Pleasure to look at the finished product. So interesting to see the process from start to finish. Only thing was, I had to turn off the volume to save my ears from the extremely distracting, jarring "music" ( if you could call it that). A running commentry to explain your process would be interesting to hear.

You cut the seams so they matched but they used spacers to make an even gap before welding the gap . Wondering why the gap? Thanks.
@AirCooledDesigns
Жыл бұрын
Excellent question, I have been asked this quite a few times. When you butt weld two pieces together, you want to have between a 16th and an 8th inch of a gap so the weld can penetrate all the way through making it a clean but weld. If the two pieces of metal are completely touching each other when welding, you’re only going to weld the surface. Those spacer clamps are specially made to keep a small gap so that your welds penetrate all the way through. Thank you 😎🤙🏼

I have a question for anybody that works in an auto collision field I used to work Auto collision myself in the past I noticed the painter would wear a charcoal filter mask but still end up having paint around his nostrils I did prep work I would wear an n95 mask but at the end of the day I blow my nose out into a rag and have a ton of dust in my nostrils my question is would you trust an n95 mask or a surgical mask to protect you from a microscopic virus like covid-19

That’s true, the last time I used a full face respirator that covered my head was when I used to paint fire engines. Spraying into the compartment boxes surrounded me with overspray, so just a respirator would not work for me. Painting cars is different, so I just use a respirator, and never had any issues. 👍🏼

Yes, the art of auto body and collision work is all about making the decision on what tools to use in order to make the repair. I’ve done plenty of work for the insurance industry and had no issues whatsoever, and in California the insurance are fully aware of me using either Mig, TIG, Arc, or Spot-welding wherever is needed. Thanks for your comments (Big Block Lawyer). I’m curious to know what method you would’ve used to apply this quarter panel?

Hey Bernard thanks for the message, I’ve been using the Upol Gold body filler for many years. Few of my jobs that have this filler on there Decklids never have any issues past five years. As you can see in the video it’s only a skim coat, so there will be no problems. I’ve had clients bring their work in where they do not take out the dent, and was filled with Bondo so there was cracks everywhere. If I cannot repair the Decklid before the bodywork, then it’s better off just getting a new one.
