1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Restoration - Episode 5 - Quarter Panel Install - Part 1

[@MikeA-i6w]

I’ve learned a valuable lesson about welding and grinding in shorts. Lol. Glad to see I’m not the only one who does it.

[@charlestaylor3544]

You provide the best automotive sheet metal repair education on You Tube! By Far!👍🏻

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks brother! 😎🤘

[@TheREALJosephTurner]

Man, you're fearless on those quarter panel fabrications. I would have spent a week fretting about it first! Great job!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Aint nothing to it but to do it! No, in all honesty was is pretty scary… lol. Glad it worked out!

[@joebacarella2829]

That is just a beautiful view of the mountain down your block, except your driveway, teehee. When you cut those quarters to match, are you not worried about warpage on the top of that flat panel, or just tacking it far apart and letting it cool will minimize any warpage, I guess if need be you could hammer and dolly it out, they look fantastic just sitting there, it`s great how you will get the whole new trunk gutter and quarter in one shot, everything else seems to be lining up right on. Yeah, I could see mounting and welding those quarters in place, because they look perfect, and then playing hell trying to get the doors and fenders to line up, obviously this isn`t your first rodeo, great advice for viewers though, so nobody makes that dreaded mistake, take care buddy.

[@johnkelly6942]

Once the quarters were on you could see the finish line. Really nice work.

Love your background music on this installment. I think this group is the British group The Shadows who dominated the British music world before the Beatles showed up.

Ratty Satty alongside Goldie locks Runner awesome site to behold😊❤

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

[@tomswindler64]

Coming right along.great video.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching! 😎🤘

[@therealmcoy]

I know this is your channel and you can do anything you want to do on it. There may be others like me that started watching to see the progress on the charger. I’d love to see you getting back at it. Jumping to another project after the metal work is done is, well, for me, is getting me uninterested in watching the channel. I understand it’s very easy getting burned out with a project because I sure do when I’m working on a project. Even with the cuda it seemed to stop. Please get back to one of them.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

She’ll be back in the spring. Had to take in a few customer cars to raise money for my other builds.

[@chuckeecheese162]

Very nice repairs as always. 🍻

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks brother! 😎🤘

[@RandDCustoms2]

Your skills just keep growing! Great work. The people who get this car are really going to have something special.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for the kind words! It’s definitely going to be a sweet ride!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I'm just eager to see how you make those quarters fit onto a convertible. It's hard for me to imagine how that's going to look when it's done... I see so few convertible 69 Roadrunners still in existence. Great work as always! Thanks for sharing.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Hopefully you won’t have to wait to long! Car should be in blast next week!

[@r3drocket659]

Hell yeah, it's coming out great! Nice work man!

[@gunjiweber42]

Outstanding work as always ! Really enjoying these videos.

[@theabomb2037]

Your videos are always good and instructive keep up the good work , when will there be more videos on the 68 charger ?

[@stephencarter1442]

Awesome Brother Your turning in a Tinman stellar work!!!!!

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching! 😎🤘

[@jimgates5422]

Grinding through the edges to remove the panels works great in the areas where you are discarding the material you're cutting away. In areas like the edge of the B-pillar where you want (I think) to keep the factory appearance, you should cut through with a death wheel. By grinding through the corner, you are thinning the steel at the edge, right where you will be trying to re-weld. The possibility of distorting the edge itself is much higher. You will likely have problems here with blow-throughs when you weld in the quarter panel, which means more heat/warping to get the seam created, right where you have a very visible body feature.

[@garryhatchett775]

Very nice work.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks brother! 😎🤘

[@dh2360]

Fantastic metal work, I'm also in the same process.

[@ellisbartlett2942]

Another classic video buddy

[@michaelrichter1465]

Great work

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

😎🤘

[@prorebuilder]

Very impressive work.

[@iamnoone.]

That first tune is stuck in my brain

[@rangercwgbear6352]

Great work buddy she coming along

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

Thanks for watching!

[@daleprice8161]

As far as some back ground music u should throw in some ac/dc lol the progress seems to be going along pretty well

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I would but my video would get flagged & demonetized. I’ve made that mistake before… lol

[@buffdoc46]

Awesome progress. Will look fantastic when all done.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

I think so too! Can’t wait!

[@andrer3854]

First of all, love all your tracks. I have a 67 gto and need some guidance replacing full left quarter.. The window channel, and mid lower half has the most rust. Sail panels are good except the parts of the window channel. Do I replace the whole quarter panel or just replace what's needed and patch the window channel. Also, wh9 sells good quality 67 gto quarters.

[@autonomous_collective]

Mini tub it!

[@gabrielkwiatkowski645]

Excelente

[@iamnoone.]

What is the name of the first tune

[@danielstrachan8988]

😁😁👍👍

[@damianbrennan2258]

I wish u could play known music

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

Never understand why people think 💭 converables are worth more money 💰 as you get less cars for your money and they are more inconvenient in rain 🌧️ rocks flying of other cars . Cattle 🐄 trucks going by spraying 💩💩💩everywhere 🙀true etc just buy a MOPAR Muscle 💪 2 door . 👍🏻💯🇦🇺⛽️.

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

All those emojis makes that practically unreadable

[@shanedingz]

They’re worth more because there were far less of them produced. Rarity = Desirability. And because they cost more to manufacture which resulted in them costing more, to buy new. Also, restoring them costs more for above mentioned reasons. So there are very logical reasons why convertibles are worth more. That said, I don’t like them and I’d never buy one.

[@rustbucketrestos6511]

@jeffreyshepherd8488 😂

[@charleskeziah4810]

I'm wondering how hard it would be to take a convertible car and convert it to a hard top car. Not a big fan of convertible cars. Just saying.

[@CovenGraphics]

you do great work but please don't ever use this music again...

[@rustbucketrestos6511]
