This video is awesome. It explains a lot to rookies like me. MUCH appreciated!

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Thanks !

Amazing Videos Guzzi! You should have way more views than what's showing. Your's are the most detailed and explained videos I've watched. And I have watched hundreds. Thank you sir!

[@guzzifabrication3448]

I'm glad you enjoy the videos ! after 2 years finally getting some traction......

[@parttimelr]

I have been watching you for close to 2 years on you 68 charger build. I'm telling for sure, your videos are by far the best ones I've seen. Thanks for the hard work you put into them. It helps more than you know!@@guzzifabrication3448

Only have a few videos of this make and model restoration available that is not a backyard slap together job. Thanks for the time put into actually showing details. Well done.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Thanks that's awesome! I always aim for the best quality work I can produce and I try to pass on my experience to others.

[@jeffheinlein3103]

@@guzzifabrication3448 I do have a question that no one seems to want to answer. I guess its a stupid question 😄 but the black primer that comes on the the panels, at what time do you remove it… if you do. And ., if so how do you get to the parts where its really hard to get to if you don’t remove before welding?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

@@jeffheinlein3103 The black is called an EDP coat, it's a great foundation, only remove as much as needed to prep the area then apply a thin coat of weld through primer in the spot to be welded , weld through primer is different in that it contains zinc, regular primers don't. Now there shouldn't be any bare metal sandwiched in between assembled parts. Check out some of the other videos in the Charger series and I show the prep, prime, welding steps in depth. Thanks for watching !

[@jeffheinlein3103]

@@guzzifabrication3448 I use the weld primer now… I just didn’t know if the EDP was ok to apply base coat directly to it instead of a sealer primer. Thanks for replying, I will re…. review your videos.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

@@jeffheinlein3103 Prep the EDP coat and your good to go, I always apply an epoxy coat as a base then work on top of that.

Great work. Perfect plugs. What wire and are you on a higher heat setting? Thanks, can’t wait for more.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Hey thank you I run old .035 er70s across the board and heat settings that's really deceiving because every machine is very different if you open your machine there will be a chart for your specific machine for a general setting for thickness and wire size that's a good starting point hey thanks for watching

I wish AMD made panels for 65 Mustangs. Seems their stuff fits well without much work to get them fitting properly .

[@guzzifabrication3448]

For Mustangs you want to go with dynacorn they seem to be the best fitting for Fords. hey thanks for watching!

@@guzzifabrication3448 the doors are really good but their fenders suck IMO .

@@dougbaker9473 I've used their parts before it's probably just their quality is going down that seems to be across the board on all parts I've noticed that a lot with AMD

[@jasoncardoza6375]

I never understood when people would cut down the full length of a quarter down the body line and replace only the bottom section. The amount of welding and potential warping is extremely high. I get that the replacement panels aren’t perfect but I’d much rather spend the time forming them then spreading a large amount of filler down the entire length of the body that will inevitably crack. Doesn’t matter how good you are at preparing the surface, the flex of the body WILL fracture the filler. Take the extra time and do it correctly with good quality replacement items and you’ll be much more satisfied with the results. I restore trucks and can’t count how many times I’ve seen partial panel replacement failures even though they were coated in the rear.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Yes Sir you are correct !

[@acardiac5983]

Where did you get hole punch for metal?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Dentfix

[@fasterdrive221]

the spray primer you used at the very end is that the high build urethane sandable primer?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Yes it's a sandable high build primer filler

[@handsonhobbies6690]

Rough estimate how much would just the fab work cost to replace the full rear like your doing here?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Our shop rate is $ 70.00 Hr. Thanks for watching !

[@tedmatias1536]

Hello good job May I ask how much the whole job cost?

[@mopar4don]

Great Job! Your plug welds look like a factory spot weld! How do you get the center to be lower?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

It's all in the prep and fit up.... depending on the metal thickness, I turn up the wfs and volts, FYI - fine line between blowing the weld out completely and getting the welds you see on the video. Give it some practice you can master it too... Thanks for watching !

Awesome! But we all breathe that overspray. It smells good... and a pleasure to paint. Health though? And the other chemicals we use? What is extra risk for mechanical people?

Watching this video again. I have to replace both quarters on a 1972 Plymouth Satellite. Appears that AMD is no longer making them. Do you have a preference of the other brands? Are Sherman any good?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

AMD used to be the best Mopar replacement panels, but like everything I've noticed their quality go down..... It's pretty much a toss up now who offers quality parts.... luckily there is a summit racing nearby and a couple of other dealers locally and I can order, inspect, and pick up. I hate having things shipped and the shipping costs are outrageous.

I didn't see any weld through primer??? Did I miss that part?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

I applied the primer to the backside ( didn't show in video ) then tape off only the joint and D A to metal, it just helps when spot priming the area after finish, another step I didn't show in this video is I will scratch with an awl the surface through the plug weld hole down to bear metal, that leaves primer around the edges of the plug weld hole.

[@dmcdannnell3069]

He should watch Chris Birdsongs channel and learn the proper way to install a ¼. He missed most the welds on the ¼ to rocker panel. I guess thats why Chris's Charger ¼ panel replacement video has 194k views i half the time lol.
