Repairing Rusted Sheet Metal; Willys Wagon Build Ep 6

[@ateamoffroad1179]

Love the wagon. I'm building one myself, but for my daughter, she saw yours and loved it. Hers is a 1951

[@BigTireGarage]

Right on

[@OldGriz708]

This rig is an inspiration! You can be at an event or just out wheeling and there will be umpteen thousand TJ, JK, JL, X~Z~WJ's but a flatty of any kind shows up the rest of the rigs just kinda disappear 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

amazing! I love watching these builds I am learning a lot. I need you to be my mentor lol Can't wait to see this thing all finished!

[@chrismoore9257]

Glad to see you putting out content regularly

[@wingnutcarl]

sadly these episodes arent long enough. she's coming out sweet tho

[@djkommando]

And a lot of it is yapping and drinking fancy booze...

[@markweber2958]

Glad to see you again ian ...I have a 48 panel wagon going up on 35's with a 304..auto quadratic...not the best but should be a good driver and mild wheeler......please keep making videos.....rip.JC..love you both

[@christopherhuber2517]

Nice work

[@blackbeard308]

Bro I have a piece of s*** hammer and Dolly set from Harbor Freight I have nowhere near the technology and resources you have you got this man👿😡🍕🍻📹🎥😎

[@williamcoates843]

Why did yo buy it?

[@paultavres9830]

I seen a guy that lays his sheet metal over the old about a inch larger or so carefully tacks it on around the new panel then using a cut off wheel at 45 degree angle to get a smaller kerk then tack the panels together for a perfect fit to each other

[@leroykees1170]

Glady to see you back working Ian. Great Job on the Willys

[@richardking7800]

Glad I found this site. MISSED YOU and your skills!

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks

[@grants.9120]

Nice work! If Kevin Tetz was my buddy, I would always be getting in over my head on body work.

[@TheGentilcores]

Solid work! MORE...Need MORE of these episodes! Thanks Ian

[@dominosgarage]

Nice

[@floydstowe]

So glad I found this u tube channel followed your work for anything I have seen you do is great 👍

[@wingman8447]

I love it. “I hate sheet metal work” then proceed to kill it. Great work.

[@BigTireGarage]

I took a lot of practice to get there

[@mikelee8851]

Please do more video content your stuffs always awesome

[@shanewright6958]

It's really looking good 👍👍🇨🇱

[@streetkd08]

This thing is looking sweet!

[@jmyers9853]

those old willys station wagons had absolutely no protection from the salt and rust. on the beach we used to spray the entire underside with used engine oil, that kept the brake lines from rusting

[@gerryhartung736]

I think you overcame your fears. Looking good. You should watch Ian Roussels,Russell, CUSTOM GARAGE, on Motor Trend, his attitude towards bodywork could be inspirational.

[@Stahodad]

Nice work with the body lines. DIY bodywork is doing a good enough job so you are happy with it. And sheetmetal can only bend so may ways so may times. I grew up near"The Falls" past M-ville. I hope you and yours are well these days. Cheers Chris.

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Stahodad]

@@BigTireGarage I have watched you build stuff on tv going way back to the Spike tv.. Extreme 4x4 show. Cool stuff. Back then I think Stacey David did a Willys on his Trucks show..it was green with wood panels. Your's is going to turn out great with all the things you did in the past. Looking forward to learning more stuff. 👍

[@jdscm4]

Love you since the powerblock days. Super cool builds and fab advice without all the sponsor bs and commercials. I’m not a KZbin pro but I’d like to see longer episodes. My son and I watch them together (he’s 11) and he hates seeing the ice blocks...the episodes are over before we are ready lol. To sum it up, we are big fans, you have mad skills, this episode format seems awkward, especially with the whisky glass at the end...it’s weird!!

[@VictorVectorJKU]

The build is looking great Ian! Keep it up!

[@VictorVectorJKU]

IrishStew heck yeah! That was a good day of wheelin!

[@VictorVectorJKU]

IrishStew that’s awesome I love the old Willys!!

[@jkgtss30]

Great job as always, keep it up.

[@Shakerhood69]

Keep up the good work!

[@moondog573]

I want a restmod willys wagon with the 2.4. Sea foam green. Wood in the back deck. Chrome roof rack. Steel wheels. Warn upright with ship rope wrapped front bumper, full on 1960s counterculture but I work and do mushrooms glory.

[@danielmagalhaes5739]

Ian! Come on! That talk about sheet metal being boring is you being lazy!! You got awesome fab skills, all tools and taste to make that jeep so cool!! And when you finish, i bet is going to be so overwhelming see all that work paying off! And i hope being here to congratulate you!!!

[@colbymagew8840]

Have you thought about doing driveway rescue again It was always my favorite part of the shows I found a lot of help from them.

[@BigTireGarage]

I have actually just not sure how to make it work out

[@bradywilliams2666]

I'm kind of dreading cutting the body of my 52 willys wagon. I need to move the rear wheel wells back about 10". I stretched it out to 117" wheelbase.

[@abpsd73]

I find sheet metal work to be the biggest PITA on a build. Suspension, drivetrain, interior, and electrical seem easy compared to the tedious process of body work.

[@BigTireGarage]

I did too, until I bit the bullet on this rig

[@justinluth2288]

Love the content and for sure miss you on the power nation. Negatives are shorten up the intro and end, were not watching for whiskey drinking in the end and to tell us what you are doing in this episode. The episode describes already does that. Thx great willy's build so far,plus no green blower. Power nations willys build is such an abortion at this point I've unsuubscribed

[@jaycrane761]

Sheet metal is not the part I can’t stand it’s all the prep. Seems like I sand then sand then sand and when it’s all done I’ll prim it and sand again. And I hate the dust but it’s sure nice to see the paint lay out flat and if it’s a dark color it’s worth it ! Keep it up as I lift my glass cheers.

[@justinluth2288]

You might want to show people how to clearance a body panel. I know you did it on your "old media platform...ie power nation " but I think you have a lot of new people watching this that have seen that

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Was it difficult to learn how to program your "Fastcut" machine... What would it be like for us car enthusiasts that have no programming experience...

[@BigTireGarage]

The key is Bend Tech..That is where I do most of the drawings

[@doncline3386]

was wondering where you went

[@groundmetalgarage]

Nice work man! My dad has a 1958 wagon and it needs these repairs and more! If you’d like you can see it on my channel! That’s a real suv!

[@spacedog4355]

Did you play the beaver from surfs up?

[@gerryhartung736]

Is that GLENLIVIT??

[@joshthompson4832]

What it would be like to be a shadow in that shop

[@gerryhartung736]

Is this ride for sale.....

[@modificationnation73]

I HATE bodywork and rust repair. Painting sucks too.

[@DiversifiedMachinist]

Mr. Heatmiser.

[@olspanner]

Been a fan of yours forever. Just wish you would ditch the background music, is just an annoyance [ I am an oldie though lol ]

[@BigTireGarage]

But I love the music

[@olspanner]

@@BigTireGarage Good for you.

[@ap8409]

I'm so over the "patina" look. It's been done to death.

[@dinkydotzero]

That and the flat black "murdered" out look

[@BigTireGarage]

That is why I wanted this rig to be different

[@kevinwanner78]

Dude! Hit up our buddy Brent Buttrey!

[@joeschlotthauer840]

When a 10 minute video seems like 2...

[@timemerson4162]

Anything more than surface rust and i'm out at this point in life.

[@BigTireGarage]

Hear that

[@bertgordon5443]

Looking awesome Ian. Looking forward to next episode. Careful with those adult beverages. Cheers from Aus mate.
