That was very cool to see what you were talking about with the epoxy lifting up due to the heat from welding. I haven't ran into that before and why I commented on the last video to do the epoxy first. Seeing this actually happen in your video, I think I am going to change up my process and do the weld thru primer in a little wider area to cover the heat area. Thanks for showing that and love the videos man, great job!!!!!
@carthageclassiccarsКүн бұрын
You're welcome, yes the wider coverage is a good idea depending on your heat settings, sometimes I remember and end up doing it. I am one to run my welder on a hotter heat setting most of the time and just move fast so I bet that makes it worse. I will also say that under that bubbling epoxy in those couple spots weld through primer is still sticking so if you pick it off with your nail you can see the white paint so good to know we are not worried about rust.
@adamscustomshopКүн бұрын
@@carthageclassiccars Yeah, that is really good to know that the weld thru was still there under the bubbled epoxy. Again, that was very cool to actually see it because a lot of people just repeat what they hear in other videos or from other people. Thanks again for the education, I love learning new stuff. Take care and keep up the awesome work!

Good video. There was a 68 "I think" Camaro a guy used a Dynacorn rear side panel that was 3/4" too short, he ended up tossing it because he damaged it to try to fit it, most say they like them so just specific panels maybe... AMD gets all good review sounds like... Just a spectator, love seeing these old cars brought back.
@carthageclassiccarsКүн бұрын
I have found on the 69 firebird, my car where the one fender was a 3/8 too long but never see one 3/4 too long before especially on a 68 Camaro. I actually just installed quarter panels on a 68 Camaro and I believe they were possibly dynacorn and fit great. Who knows how old the quarters were as the older stampings were not as good. I would be interested in see that whole story with the car on the JIG and measurements showing the squared car because a lot of these cars that people end up building move, they don't know and blame the parts. Did he order another quarter panel and it went right on?

I use a 5/16 usually a spot weld cutter drill bit or the 8mm (5/16) hole punch I have for the rocker to pan holes. I think the last doors that were used on the Nova I built were from ss396. They fit pretty decent for the most part. When I unbox these door I will try to show them and how they built along with the manufacture as I believe these are AMD.

You can tig weld spot welds you want have any splatter or over build up of weld
@carthageclassiccars4 күн бұрын
I would probably pass on that, usually with the dirty metal or if there is weld through primer that will jump up on the tungsten or the amount of gas and time it would take vs the MIG for me it would not be cost effective. I have finished a floor or two then I have ran out of MIG gas before just to get a stopping point and its a pain to TIG the floors.

I’m putting my frame rails together off my car. My car is on a jig, and I took the rear frame rails out in one piece. The AMD parts I got are not cooperating with me to say the least… Where the rear cross panel bolts to the bumper area Are not lining up partially because the frame rails are welded crooked. As I’m watching your video, I can’t help but notice the threaded nuts on welded on my rear cross panels are on the opposite side of yours… Have you ran into issues like this?

Excellent video. Under what circumstances would you want to use the 60 degree tungsten with the wider pattern? It seems like to you'd always want to have the most focused arc.
@carthageclassiccars8 күн бұрын
For instance TIG brazing I always want a wider arc so not to get the penetration and just melt the brazing rod. If you have a wider arc you can dip around the edges better to suck it in for instance if you are at a weird angle and can't get the rod directly in. That is also the case if for some reason you don't have as tight of a fitup and moving you filler rod to fill the gap you can run a straight run but weld wider. Sometimes its just user preference what they feel works better for them.

Hello colleague. Your attention to detail is enormous. You seem to be very precise in your work. I ask for suggestion after first time seeing the screwjacks that level your frame JIGs. And i got an idea how to improve my homemade frame streightning table. I do mostly simple hammer and dolly and a bondo jobs but sometimes i use my homemade frame straightner to pull LIGHT frame damage if present. Currently my homemade frame streightning table sits on four dense wood blocks and i use large number of different thickness shims between the blocks of wood and the table itself to level it front to front and side to side for datum. As you can imagine with this setup this takes quite a time. Im looking forward to modify the table by adding this type of screwjacks. But i think i need heavy duty ones since the table itself is 2000lbs. And some unibodycars i work on add 3900-4000 lbs to this weight for a total of 6000lbs. Do you know of screwjacks that could safely support such weight. 🙏😊
@carthageclassiccars9 күн бұрын
Thank you very much. So I do not know of any screw jacks off the top of my head that are larger, however my JIG tables here weigh around 1000 lbs so I am not far off from you. These screw jacks are designed to hold the front end of dirt track race cars that weight in around 3500 lbs. Most of the weight are on the front ends of them so honestly they might work for your application. Maybe on your table instead of 4 use 8 of them since the cars you work on weight a bit more then what I have here with the engines and everything.
