RUST REPAIR ON A FORD!

[@Turbo-wj9qc]

"all rotted out" that looks nearly new yet in Wisconsin!

[@nathanceschi5100]

I have my own repair shop in Wisconsin not body work, rockers and corners don’t exist in our state lol

[@farmingthemitten4887]

In Michigan they come from the factory pre-rusted also. We pay extra for that feature.

[@jamiethomas069]

I feel lucky that it's taken 10 years for the fenders on my super duty to start showing rust. Winter in Alaska must be milder.

[@farmingthemitten4887]

@@jamiethomas069 it’s not how mild the winter is, it’s how much salt the municipalities use on the roads.

Would be cool to see a video of your most used tools. Include the models you like, the consumables (disks, belts, etc) that you use in the day-to-day.

[@eduardojimenez7595]

Thank you so much man great work 👍

[@jpowell9343]

From factory there is a hole where the cab corner bends the rocker. I use rust inhibitor and shoot it thru there but those who don't regularly have rust with water flying in there constantly.

[@derrickblagg2190]

Look up inside the cab side, find the drain tube, extend it out the bottom, or hole saw a spot that the hose can reach and poke it out. Keep that water outside the can corner. Only takes a few minutes. Any truck with a power sliding glass has this problem

[@johnbishop5711]

I haven’t at 1994 Ford F350 crew cab and I’m looking for that part for both sides???

[@megatonesilva6546]

So, you used self-tapping fasteners to secure the backer plates.......then you weld all three pieces together.....Is this correct

[@michaelkitchen6000]

Do you have any videos of removing the rocker panels and replacement on a Ford focus from between 2000 and 2013?

[@jacobroach8996]

Do have part numbers for those rocker assemblies? All I can find are separate pieces

[@thruitallauto2538]

I’ve got to have me one of those spot weld grinders your using,

Hey Kyle how much would it cost for a ford f-150 to be fixed but the left n right rocker panel an cab corners. 2008 model. 5.4L

[@BULLISHGUY-fg3so]

Genius it will be nice if you put the year of the truck !

[@jonah12]

What do you do for corrosion protection on the inside/backside of the butt joints?

[@BlueCollarKyle]

I use cavity wax that sprays out of a small tube that I put in the rocker and it sprays in a 360 degree pattern

[@jasonbrown7258]

Here in Michigan I see a lot of these 4door trucks so bad the cab will buckle in the middle.

[@Chris-vc5bb]

[@AUXRVIII]

Nice work, what was the spray you sprayed on prior to welding, thanks

[@waboom248]

Weld thru primer

[@JunkyMunky]

What was the cost for this repair got the same exact issue im in Arizona any shops recommended?

[@dewrus2153]

Nice end-result! Hopefully after all that work, either you or the owner fixed the leaking 3rd brake light or leaking rear window seal that caused this rust in the first place (very common culprits on this generation) so it doesn't rust right back out again...especially now that there are additional overlapped areas of uncoated steel. Or...maybe you didn't on purpose just so you can replace it all again in about 3 years...job security (just kidding).

[@ShawnQueefus]

I had the leaky rear window in my f150. I found it quick. Thank goodness.

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

If this was your own truck, would you use glue an rivets? I’ve got the same truck with the same problem. If I actually fix, it I’m going to glue everything including the splices, BMW style. Just wondering what your opinion is.

[@surebrah]

Scribing is a great trick. I was wondering how you were going to do that.

[@jasonthielen4841]

Can you tell us where to get the panel

[@BlueCollarKyle]

The parts department at your local Ford Dealership should have what you need

[@johnnywrench5579]

Nice job

[@MrSmokeyman66]

Where’s your shop? I’m on my way!

[@christopherbonanno1120]

Lot of work. For a truck. If one side is falling apart I would be worried about more rust issues. If it’s a newer car would be mad if it’s older would just buy a new truck. Probably cost a lot to do this.

[@mikecorleone6797]

But do they make these panels for an 84 300zx? I need a couple...

[@TheRoguelement]

[@zanestroud639]

So we had a dodge ram come in about 6 months ago to just get 1 side replaced, he showed me that estimate and it was 3750. So saying both sides would be 4000-6000 is a decent range

[@jonathanyates5198]

In Virginia, small local owned shops do it for $1500 both sides, and people think you are screwing them at that price

From start to finish, cutting out, welding in, bodywork then priming, for a good body tech will land you about 12 total hours. Maybe less if you dont dick around.

@@earlwilson9081 not to offend butt if you're crippled then doing it at all would be good. 20 hours for someone In good health that knows what they are doing and has the tools to do it is just too long but if you're older and just taking it easy then you shouldn't worry about time. However, if you disassembled, bodyworked, painted, and reassembled in 20 hours then that's not too bad

[@jacilynns6330]

Random video pop up on KZbin. Good first, nice spot welder tool. Cool to see that being used. The bad, why grind off paint? You make metal much thinner. Non lap weld on vehicle is also against regulations especially on structural member. Also clip showed putting bondo on bare metal,again against regulations. All manufacturer warranty now void. Good job.

[@mikesweet5848]

Where did you learn you can't put body filler on bare metal? You were told wrong because it says right on the can that's how you get the best adhesion. Body filler has zinc in it too for corrosion protection. So you're obviously also wrong about what's allowable with the sectioning procedure. The manufacturer determines the sectioning procedure, and how to weld it.

[@jacilynns6330]

@@mikesweet5848 Where did I learn? Duh in the certification course your required to take and graduate from before your allowed to repair manufacture warranty. Im also retired from over 30+ years of bodywork. Though I still do some fabrication from time to time.

wait so taking paint off makes the metal thinner? thats the most ridiculous statement ive ever heard. that alone makes beyond evident that you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

[@brkapp]

also not even to mention the fact that an outer rocker panel and cab corner is not a “structural member” as you are trying to claim.

[@scdevon]

3 cents worth of body cavity wax/oil applied when new and refreshed once in a while would have prevented this. You need OIL in body cavity seams, not "scraping and painting" stuff on.
