34 Ford Coupe Street Rod Build - Inner Fenders Fitting

[@wyattoneable]

I've never messed with glass before. I'm going to keep watching to see how you like the results. I appreciate the work you do Bob.

[@laurensmith1828]

Gotta admire your persistance . Well done and the car is looking better and better every video.thanks Bob!

[@anthonypeterson1571]

Hell RRB three months ago you couldn’t even spell fiberglass expert and now you is one!!! Great job!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

You did not lose your cool even through the mishap, you are the right guy to have in the shop Bob 👍

[@paullaviolette2610]

Funnest thing - I was watching this with my iPad on my lap. Looked like that tray of fibreglass was going to fall and I automatically reached for it. Gave me a laugh.

[@randyhorton8369]

Thanks for putting on this fiberglass class. Very informative....

[@roberthill9699]

I don't think you screwed up, Bob. I think the teacher is learning in this video and so are we you'll get it.

[@larryanderson8049]

Bob, you got the patience of a saint, I have no doubt that you will get it done and done good,

[@dennisdollar3953]

Can't wait to see this one finished it's going to be cool 😎

[@franksupholsteryshop]

Learn by doing, trial by fire. Learn by experience. Nice job Bob.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

RR Bob, I started workin' with fiberglass 58 years ago and it was always a headache! From what I see you're gettin' pretty handy with the goo! Keep on truckin'! There's no way to go but up! And that 34 is shapin' up just as fine as can be! Congrats!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Cool, thanks!

[@randyadamshack2785]

Bob, the 34 is looking great! Keep it going buddy!

[@chriszarecki2042]

Love watching you create body parts from thin air, fiberglass and cardboard backing!! 👍

[@fredflintstone8048]

All's well that ends well. You're getting there.

[@alangarnham706]

Hey there Bob, best to do one side at a time, it will only take 1-2 hours to cure enough to attack the other side. Also the bottom of the cowl looks to be warped. This is an easy fix. Leave the sections that have the correct line and remove the out of line bits. Then you can correct the lines using the sections that are correct. Unless of course that this is meant to be. And also to keep sections popping up, I use waxed plastic to weigh the sections down. I wish I was there, I could give you a hand but I live in the land down under. Well done on saving the upside down work too.

[@danielhopfinger8193]

The rake of the grill is spot on

[@briankinnear7461]

Nice job on the fiberglass. It is an art, at least it is for me. Have done it before and I just use a lot of cloth and resin and then sand it down afterwards so it works. Catching up on videos still .Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

[@michaelbristol6467]

Woooooo baby go Bob go. 😎✌

[@camcutcnc]

Hey Bob, you might appreciate this. I recently bought a fiberglass chopper gun. Its really cool, pull the trigger and it shoots resin, catalyst and fiberglass , bam !! no messing around with cutting fiberglass or buckets and brushes. Here is the point of this post, the fiberglass that you are using has a binder on it. if you are trying to go around a corner the binder needs time with resin on it to relax. When I found out that the fiberglass roving used in a chopper gun doesn't have the binder on it so that it will lay down immediately and not pop up again, I said SOLD SOLD SOLD !!

[@geoffreymills9932]

I used to spray with a chop gun, just keep sharp blades on the wheel and don't let the roving bind up in the box and you can spray a 30 foot boathull nonstop

[@camcutcnc]

@@geoffreymills9932 Boat, Bust out another thousand ! 34 ford will run for the rest of my life ! its a Ford right... yeah

[@nboldrini]

I built a small wooden boat using 1/4" plywood held together with Titebond III Wood glue and a roll of self adhesive fiberglass tape. The tape is used to seal sheets of wall board in houses. It is 2" wide and is made of woven fiberglass screen. Simply join the sections together with the tape and paint the plybond over the tape with a brush. It worked so well that you could do the same thing using Fiberglas resin over that kind of tape and save time and materials. It works especially well when doing corners and edges. Give it a try.

[@phillipriddle-lx6cx]

Hey Bob, you might have to add “we know fibreglass” to your page description. Love the channel 👌🤙

[@donaldadams3072]

Really like your videos learn a lot from them you built some badass rides if I ever get the money up I would love to have you build me a ride keep up the awesome work Rat Rod Bob

[@mikedyson7330]

Make paper patterns of your glass, lay it on thin plastic , like a drop cloth, put the glass on it pour the resin over it work it in then flip it over on to your work and work out all the air bubbles let it dry peel the plastic off. Very little mess comes out nicer . IVE DONE A LOT OF THIS keep up the good work.

[@Reddog08]

Dang, I thought you were going no fenders.... either way, you're awesome we love you Bob

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Only the inner fender well on the front.

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

And in closing, "We gettin' it. Just ain't got it yet"... I missed hearing that. 😀

[@Harvey-sheila]

Damn good job bob it’s really coming together

[@xxkingslayemxxgamer5553]

That big block Ford fills that engine compartment is that a dove 429 if so it'll ride when you get it finished. dam good work Bob out of basically nothing thanks for bringing us along

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Yes dove ... 68 Thunderjet

[@xxkingslayemxxgamer5553]

I'm watching right now lol

[@jeregriffith6277]

a another great job, on the 34 ford

[@floridian7143]

Thanks for sharing!

[@garycamara9955]

Try using thin aluminum sheet metal to form a temporary mold to glass against. After the glass gets hard. Just peal it off. The side that was against the aluminum will be smooth.

[@herbiederby3394]

Great job bob... Most definitely have your heart and soul in this build ...💯🙂👍🙏

[@shotsrodder]

If you back up your work with wax paper it will release like magic 🤩 I also use it when applying duraglass . You can squeeze it out nice and smooth .

[@demnis]

HI Y'All Rat Rod Bob from the D MI 😎 hey thanks for sharing another great video update on your progress with the Rat Rod 👍🤩🔥💖 and you're doing a lot of fantastic work 💪 hey it's going to be great 🌞

[@roy1966hill]

u are doing 1 hell of a very good job keep up the good work

[@bobbyhallmark5189]

Looking good,keep up the good work.

[@bluedog373]

Watched the whole video. You never had to scratch your nose once.😀

[@geoffreymills9932]

I think it's coming along just fine, that glass will setup and be ready for more, and like you don't have to be a good welder, that will grind out too,😂😂, keep on pluggin Bob, your doing great

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Right on

[@snupi_nut]

You might try Evercoat long strand fiberglass. It's kinda like body filler . You can spread it upside down in thin layers . Just have to do more layers. How do I know? Do it all day.haha

[@johnkranz4004]

Coming along nicely Bob

[@rodneylustila4520]

Kitty hair is terrific stuff.spread it on,make sure to sand with 80 grit while it's tacky,otherwise it's like trying to grind concrete! You can't break that stuff with a hammer.finnish with a little plastic.

[@OGTtom]

Great work Bob , i learn something every video

[@AlteredCarbons]

lets gooo!

[@JohnRolin]

It's a ratrod Bob ur the man hellyeah

[@pauljochims2215]

We getting it ... just ain't got it yet!

[@stansmith1911]

I’m here Bob.

[@stansmith1911]

You did good sir. If it was me I would have never recovered. It would have went in the trash and start over. But I have to say I did get a good laugh out of it.

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@stevecr8934]

Yep. That will work Bob. Your cut off piece bolted to frame then build fender back. Fiberglass. Aint it something. Sometimes you got to just get off it for awhile. Bob will woop that thing tomorrow. Wonder if you can fiberglass a strip of metal for bolt holes?

[@rodneylustila4520]

Big headlights would look great.

[@jasonshaw9240]

I'm sure you'll get it later ,too hot to work 👍

[@ashleymatt2815]

Awesome man!!!!

[@chucktripp5722]

Bob I love what you do but miss match wheels mess with my ocd..rock on

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@beachidiot]

Like I've always said, "it ain't a screw-up if you can fix before anyone sees it". I bet it's gonna be just fine.

[@jeromebishsr.1394]

Hello Bob I always put resin on till it is transparent.

[@ericfallis6202]

Going g to be amazing

[@robertchall8576]

Don't worry about that on the floor Red will clean it up.😊

[@Hopalong..75]

Years ago I fixed a few corvettes that were pretty busted up and I preferred to work on them in cold weather, it helps to cut down on the itchy feeling. And by the way if you want to ditch making some of the panels and such you could redirect that energy into putting A/C in the Rat Rod. Anyway thats just me, at my age I really like A/C.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Cool ... so you added extra activator to the resin in the winter? How much? In case I have to do some this winter.

[@gmc.joesousa4360]

You would be done if Red would help . Get with it Red!!!!!!!!!!

[@1otviii]

Your skills getting better all the time. Glad to see Bob. When is red going to help?

[@rachalhollier5679]

On the body line that runs through the body front to rear, are you gonna have to add fiberglass to the front of the body,between the front of the door and hood area? The front where the door mounts looks smaller than the door and hood in camera,it’s been messing with my mind,the visual aspect of the car is awesome Bob!!!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Yes ... I will have to fix that!

[@59vaughn]

Don't forget yer vitamins....😏😎

[@midnightrunner684]

I used to work for a yacht manufacturing plant in Largo Florida .the smell of that Fiberglas used to turn my stomach .by the time I pulled my 8 hour day ,I went home high as a Georgia pine everyday .The headaches made it to where I had to quit the job .couldn't do it anymore 😮

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Yea I would of quit too if the smell turned my stomach. I'm just the opposite, doesn't make me high and I kinda like the smell of it TBH.

[@xKmotx]

I bet you will really be glad to get back working with sheet metal!

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Actually, I'm diggin the glass work.

[@xKmotx]

@@RatRodBobBuilds 👍

[@robcates2383]

Yes, Bob, gravity works! You'll get it!

[@martinharris5017]

Fiberglassing is a messy. sticky, itchy business, but..."it's gonna be great!".

[@davescrazy-trailer6542]

I was looking for Reds old videos to show my grandson and could not find them did they disappear down the Utube rabbit hole

[@rustyrods8535]

I don’t think making the body look a little ratty because it looks pretty slick anyway.

[@frederickshipp8013]

Bob,what am I missing here? Why do you have to use the inner fenderwells. Can't you just make the hood side panels cover up the area where the inner fenderwells go?

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

The inner fender wells have that nice curvy body line. I want to keep that.

[@scotthandschug298]

Would you do another fiberglass car?

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

It's good to change things up sometimes, I like working fiberglass.

[@henryrokstad1125]

Bro way to cool and way to straight to be a rat rod please let me paint it can't wait to see your face when you scratch it dent it 😂

[@jameswalker8499]

If ya ain’t making mistakes ya ain’t doing it right!

[@ericuncapher9922]

The Big question is. What's better? Metal or Plastic.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Good question! Metal if you can afford it but then you could have rust issues.

[@DaveBurcham]

Always look at a screwup as a lesson, 😉😉

[@morgansword]

I know it ain't easy but ya don't expect hard neither. I seen it fall and you fixed it. A cowboy song about knowing when to hold and when to fold, never count the money till the dealings done. Life is like that Bob. I got the worst cold a man can have... summertime colds just hang in there like ya wished the piece on top would a done. I just hate that ya beat on yer self cause if you hadn't grabbed this project, it would still be in boxes or someones fire pit. Things in life can and do get a lot a guys down. Marry some skinny little gal from highschool, and five years later you push her hips through a door jamb. Either love what ya have or regret never taken a chance. I got a attic full of excuses for all my own mistakes/decisions

[@davidsolloway9349]

[@geraldblum1026]

Use a heat gun to make it cure faster and not sage !

[@mauricepetrose1065]

i screw up all the time whats your point im still trying

[@slvrktman7824]

Keep resin minimal…the cloth gives it strength…extra resin doesn’t add strength!

[@shotsrodder]

You have your work cut out for you Bob 😬 that glass is a bear and it gets worse when it heats up from the sun and or engine heat 🤯 don’t paint it until you cycle the glass for a while 🤔
