ADVICE NEEDED! Stripping my 1971 4speed chevy el camino w/ a 383 down to bare metal! Part 3 Let's GO

[@HelocamboCha]

I'lld watch literally anything u do. What a personality 😍

[@kirstieskarz]

Appreciate you

[@kippderringer9038]

Use the 4 1/2 poly carbide abrasive disc made by warrior from harbor freight on the angle grinder it will sand everything off without scratching the metal

[@kirstieskarz]

THANK YOU !!! THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF ADVICE IM NEEDING!! 🙏

[@CraigMansfield]

It's still really early after your dad's passing. I find it hard to look at anything related to my mam, which is impossible - I'm surrounded by her belongings. But you honour him with your work, and it might help you to process the loss. I'm sure he's very proud of you.

[@justPFILcoffin]

I’m really loving the work you’re putting in on the el. You’re learning more, building a relationship with your followers, spending time with dad ☺️ Happy you’re bringing us along 🫶💪👑🟢 Keep going!

[@kirstieskarz]

You rock man, truly!!! Can't thank you enough for all the support! 🫵🫶

Us SINGLE DADS like the MOM BODS.. Adding automotive content is a bonus. Lol

[@ritchschut1997]

As much as I REALLY do hate to say it, replacing both quarters really would be the best thing. Massive pain in the rump I know, but I think that car deserves it. Keep after it, you will reach the finish line!!

[@ChrisHarbison-rd8df]

I'm watching you on KZbin and you said some people don't like the talking, well I do . Keep on rocking on the Hot Rods.

[@LocoCavesa]

I really like your video's. Some one's gotta come by and help our girl out here. She's been working too hard and could use a blessing or 3. Keep pushing Kirstie, love.

[@kirstieskarz]

You're the best man I so appreciate youuu🥹🙌🫶

[@natemoothart6967]

I wonder if a good first step would be reaching out to bigger automotive KZbin channels and seeing if they might be willing to let you guest on their channel and as a result get a lot more followers. Sarah n Tuned is in AZ; if you visit regularly maybe reach out to her, she mostly works alone in her shop as well.

[@craigwooten4355]

Yes I think you are going to need two new rear quarters Good luck I just found your channel and am liking the content

[@PFIBrent]

We love all your content ! I’d love to wire that ride with you 😍

[@kirstieskarz]

Appreciate the support !! Means the 🌎 🚀🙏

[@calvinw2519]

Looks like that Bono's old white lightning they called it they use it back in the 50s to cement walls and stuff best thing to do is get rid of those two quarters put them on the space shuttle and have them going to space

[@Sumkindawonderful]

That clean metal in the front is what that qt needs.make the qt look like that and epoxy prime the thing and you will be in a great starting position

[@juniorhogan3212]

I had a 1977 el camino Love them

[@lonnieciallela1526]

Looks great girl keep grinding the car is coming out awesome MORE BURNOUTS PLEASE. love how you mix things up nova is coming out great toooooo. your definitely doing the EL right a body panel at a time. I say leave the rivets esp if dad put them in who cares it looks cool AF subi are cool too especially when you rally them

[@m6smitten]

From a gearhead in Denver, your daddy would be so proud.

[@michaelvoigt8801]

Hey you just do you, let the rest of the cards fall into place! You're doing fine😎

[@sprintcarsandguitars959]

no need too replace those quarters,some patch work with a mig and body work and your as good as new. when we grew up,we had no money to buy parts,so we repaired what we had. a new quarter will still need body work anyhow,id just fix what you have. grind them patches out of there and re do them the right way,get an old fender our door and grinder with acutoff wheels and cut your patches out.

[@kirstieskarz]

I totally agree with this!! I went into this project ready to just fix it all! 💪 I just have to learn the proper way first 😅 absolutely hoping to pass this car to my kiddos and so forth! Just have to do it right! Thanks so much for the advice 🙏

[@AM-sp1my]

Hey, I’m a Chevy lover like you,io do a71 Chevelle and doing the same thing like you. Keep up the good work and do not burn yourself out with this.Just do a little at time😊

First time seeing any video on your page and it's one with your El Camino. I also own an El Camino and I'm in love. Keep up the good work

[@Lonewulff1972]

Kirstie you rock, don't give up keep grinding an angle grinder with a wire brush does its job easily replace panels personally, due to hidden gremlins, keep going it's a pleasure to follow you with your progress greetings from the Dutch🇳🇱 highlands.

Keep up the good content and you'll get there. I hope to get there someday soon myself. I'm not as good in front of the camera as you but we just keep on tryin and learning!! Just keep being you

[@kirstieskarz]

Just keep at it I'm rooting for you ill go sub!

[@rustdawg7364]

Paint stripper for paint removal without the dust though dont get it on your hands .Dual action sander would work faster .Razor blade also works ..I like nova or elcamino I also have a subaru 01 forester with 27k original I bought from my relative

[@user-fr8ub4ln7s]

Beautiful the cars aint bad either keep on keeping on ❤

[@wolfparty4234]

First, love the magic trick @ 2:35 Make the green thing disappear 😂 2nd, there’s lots of sponsors that help and support small, up and coming KZbinrs like; Square space, hello fresh, Factor “it’s another 2 minute meal dish”, Nord-VPN and so on. Your Buddy Boostedbiozkyle, go watch his videos and reach out to the sponsors he uses bc there tons of YT’ers that us the same. 3rd; this is the most importance, make your own merch, push it with 10,000% of positive energy!! Be as out going and funny as you can be and at the same time being yourself!!❤ Every episode should have a hello, what we did last time, this is what we’re doing today then what we really got done, thanking everyone for the love and see ya Tomorrow! 4; make content everyday. Stay motivated,positive and come up with a plan and stick to it! With love and respect ❤️🙏🏻

[@kirstieskarz]

The MAGIC TRICK 😂 that had me cracking up u got a good eye man!!! Thank you so much for all that advice like that's some solid advice 😍 truly!!!! Thank you!! I got advice for you tho in relation to your #3 point the most important one... 1.) Go check out www.kirstieskarz.com and buy yourself some merch 😊😍 At least I got the most important thing going cause i too felt it was most important as well ❤️💯 YOU ROCK!!!!

[@jaredw7472]

I would do two new quarter skins. At least from like the door handle high on down. If the quarters were that rotten requiring all of those patches you should probably check the putter wheelhouses and body mounts too. A-body’s are prone to rotting in those areas.

[@michaeljamison8254]

The grinder method works good, but if you're worried about digging too deep into it try a heat gun and a putty knife or screwdriver/chisel. I think you'd be surprised how well it works to remove filler. Theres a bunch of videos of people doing it on here.

[@calvinw2519]

Man I could teach you a lot of stuff not only do I have a 69 SS El Camino I have all kinds of muscle cars and trucks

Great job , Maybe I would get a half on quarter panel too😊

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

You are beautiful inside and out …. And you have a great voice ! ❤

[@kirstieskarz]

🥹🫶 awe thank you so muchhhhhh

[@adamscustomshop]

Naaaaah, get crazy, go fast, just dig in, you won't hurt it. lol, No, you can take your time but honestly don't go too slow in one area, you can get too much heat in an area and oil-can it a bit. Keep moving around and spread the love. I like the bare metal look too so I think you should replace both, even just stitch weld in a panel about an inch below the top body line so everything below it will be new and you can go the bare metal thing. Doing great though, keep it up and love the videos!

[@kirstieskarz]

Getting crazy and going fast is my jam so don't tease me with a good time 😂😂 but good advice man thank youuuu!!!!

[@Supafly88]

Yeah definitely fix it the right way and replace the sheet metal

[@willfoster554]

@@kirstieskarz I also forgot to mention.....ditch the sander and the grinder. Go to Harbor Freight and get you a BAUER 9 Amp Surface Conditioning Tool........I stripped down the my entire truck in a matter of hours with that tool. Only thing to watch with that tool is move around and come back over the surface so you don't get it to hot, any questions hit me up!!!!

[@joker660video3]

Kristie, you rock!🤘🤘

[@2HacksGarage]

You should hit up Eastwood

[@dclipper8052]

Someone already mentioned it but I will second the suggestion to switch from sanding to using those abrasive disc "death sponge" looking wheels instead. They take paint off quickly and beautifully, leaving a nice clean metal surface that I'm guessing doesn't have a bunch of dust worked into it like with sanding. They throw material but it isn't as fine as sanding dust. I've used Harbor Freight versions as well as ones from other sources and the HF ones seemed to disintegrate way faster. Big surprise, right?

[@kirstieskarz]

Huge surprise 😂😂😂💯 this was great thank you for all the advice! I love learning from other people's experiences lol 😊

[@wfoguy]

There is only one correct answer. Both quarters need replaced. Patience is paramount in any project. People save and save to get money to fund a project. There's many reasons why many projects drag on for years. I'm older than dirt and I continually remind myself to buy the best part the 1st time and do enough research to do it right the 1st time. After years of building I still make mistakes. When ever you have limited funds, it's imperative to do it right the 1st time. I understand that you need continuous flow to keep a youtube channel alive but if you short cut and redo, I think you will loose watchers. I will be in Pueblo for NSRA, if you have any desire to meet and see what I drive, let me know. Keep plugging. :)

[@kirstieskarz]

This was great advice that I really appreciate!! Thank you for taking the time to give me some pointers! I definitely am one who likes to do it right! 💯 and I want it to last and be passed along through the family when I'm long gone! Time to start saving $$$$

[@travisshephard5491]

The black spots are what you want so you can find the dents to work out. But honestly in the end, time spent and cost of metal and bondo and grinding wheels, you would be better off getting the OPG partial quarters.

[@kirstieskarz]

This is facts! I was thinking same thing!!💯

[@chriscorum1268]

I would at the least put the lower Quarters on both sides that's what I did to my Nova

[@kirstieskarz]

This is smart! 🙏

[@Supafly88]

[@travlite8496]

Reach out to AMD they are really on board with Content Creator's.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Plus , their panels are hands down , the best quality 👍🏻💪🏻

[@Dwight_Scottspeed_motorsport]

Love watching your vids here in New Zealand. Always a shame to see you struggling along, wishing your channel would go viral so you can make some proper youtube money. Full quarters are nice but also expensive and not an easy job to fit. Patch panels or lower panels cut and welded in would do just fine and youll love that you did it yourself. Id call in some friend of friends favours and see if you can do a deal through Garrett Mitchell, see if you can use some of his companies buying powers/trade accounts to help you get better deals until you can secure your own. Good luck!

[@kirstieskarz]

This is great advice!! Thank you so much!! It's so cool knowing I have people joining me from all over the world. Can't really express the feeling.😊 it's great! I so appreciate your support!

[@travlite8496]

Both Quarter's need replaced I'm thinking your dad was on a budget and did what he had to do to make the panels he put in work and sometimes that is what we do when money is tough.

[@kirstieskarz]

He was definitely on a budget! He was the king of just working with what he had though! I've definitely picked up that trait 😂

[@randyhoepker5528]

Wish I could help you with the purchase of the panels, but I’m retired and live on a very limited budget and I have my own projects. So I can only give you advice for whatever that is worth. As far as sponsorships, no idea how to get those other than contact prospective sponsors and beg them for some freebies to use on your show. Another thing you could do is sell one of your projects and free up some cash. Good luck.

[@luxuryautorestylers2164]

You said somthing about the wiring harness. Just stumbled on your channel but why not ask for hands on help? Or even better grab a ups store mail box and ask for parts donations n shoutouts. Is it cause of internet wierdos. Im sure theres hella. But i keep seeing a bunch of other videos where they callin on help. Idk just askin/ suggestion. I know im fittin a do that. My kids keep buggin me to jump on the youtube train with them n my classics. Ok im bablin. ✌️

[@kirstieskarz]

Definitely because of internet weirdos lol I don't have many ppl local to me. And don't have many people to ask for hands on help also scared to meet random dudes for "help" there's always some sort of price to be paid and I'm not about that 😂 can handle my own just fine. In reality tho I don't have any uncles or grandpa's and nlmy dad passed. I have no male figure to just get advice from. I can do the work, it's the knowledge....knowledge is power. And I wanna be powerful 😂🤘🫶

[@randyhoepker5528]

Yeah cut out both sides of that bed. They have so many patches in them, they are junk. Do you know how to use that Titanium welder sitting in your garage? Buy a couple quarter panel skins for the bed then.

[@kirstieskarz]

Dang lay it on me man 😂 I welded in the Floorplans on my nova. Am I an expert? ...Heck no. But yes I do "know how to use" the stuff sitting in my garage that I purchased to use obviously 😅 only thing stopping me is money, not my welding capabilities 😂 but I did link my cash app if you got any spare change to lay on me also 😜
