RUST REPAIR ON A FORD!

[@derrickblagg2190]

Most of the worst Ford trucks I do rust repair on rockers have the power sliding rear glass the has drain tubes that end right above the cab corners, holesaw out the backside and re-route it out and cavity wax it after. The other source of moisture is the 3rd brake light. And what is up with the duct tape over the inner rocker holes, it needs to breathe so it can’t hold moisture. Fords equal jobs in the body shop. Keep them coming.😎

I did this on so many trucks in northern Minnesota. I've seen too many hacks. I did it the exact same way you did. Quality work right there.

I got a 10 second advert for Ford before the video started 🤣 Saying really get to know it and offering a 24hr test drive…..🤔 No thanks, I’ve got to know them enough through the thumb nail and video title 😂

Sir you do some amazing work

[@TractorWrangler01]

I appreciate this type of repair. Nice work.

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Great video on this repair your work speaks for itself thumbs up Kyle.

[@CARRJ142]

Another great video.

[@jasonbrown7258]

I'm from Michigan and um that looks pretty rust free. Lol. I've seen these trucks so bad that the cab will sag and buckle the top and the rear doors have to stay closed because if you open them you have to jack up the cab to get it closed again. And they still ask over 9k for these with near 400000 miles .Nice work!

When you created your backer plate... did you plug weld it on to the existing body panel...... please show this detail in your next video....

[@garyr7027]

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. It didn't look like it, but surely he did otherwise how else would it stay on?

[@laytonwilson12]

Looks like rivets. Just sand the heads off when sanding the welded seam. The welded seam will have produced enough heat to also well the backer in place

[@rottdogsparky]

This thing must be worth something to someone because this is a expensive repair, not to mention I’m sure the other side needs to be done as well!

[@rickburt7055]

When you compare the price of a new truck and you already know what you have, it's probably a smart thing to do.

[@sasamarjanovic8385]

Love your work. Not in the industry but have a lot of respect very impressed how long would this actually take you make it look so easy

[@trentdawg2832]

Nice job....I have a '73 that has some rust bubbles starting to form on the lower doors and cab corners........dreading doing those repairs. ...maybe some por-15 and epoxy and we will call it good

[@sidsleeps795]

Video on sandpaper grits you use and points you use those? Your awesome man keep grinding 😀

[@FordMustangGTRocks]

please post information where you can buy this body panel. i have been having trouble finding the correct one.

[@PHARRAWAY]

awesome video brother

[@scottpetersen8386]

Do u spray any kind of sealer in the new inner rocker?

[@ryantaube6546]

Man I d love to know how to do this. Like the steps of bondo and sand paper grits.

[@РусАвтомеханикУ-КА]

Doing great 😂!!!

[@alsplumbingservicesllc2971]

Good job 👏

[@subiedaddie3481]

Im curious ( I don't have any experience doing body work ) but why the belt sanding tool... I thought they made spot cutting tools? I'd be interested to know why so many are using these belt sanders

[@patrickmoodabe9728]

Amazing craftsmanship Kyle. So many car repair videos. But you’re at the next level. There’s beauty in blue collar work mate. Thanks for sharing your talent. Cheers from NZ🤙🤙🤙ps what grit do you run on the finger sander??

[@ajstoutt1064]

What’s the best way to prevent rust? Underbody wash during the winter? Cavity wax?

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Regular washes in winter, undercoating, and early remediation

[@danbuchman2079]

Pretty common in northwest Ohio,people will spend the money,compaired to new truck cost !!!

[@danbuchman2079]

Both sides,we usually charge around 3500.$$

[@larryrowe5259]

Was wondering, what caused the rust out and was anything done by Ford or you to decrease the chances of a future rust out?

[@3jeepsdeep768]

Old thread I know. I'd think that a leaking third brake light would be a great place to look.

[@garyr7027]

How much for those rocker panels? What would it cost for a 97 f150 with extended cab?... both sides.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

I would guess about a grand all in

Whats the name of your shop i need your services on my f350

[@robertarthurs328]

It'd be nice to have the spot welder, unfortunately it'll be drilling and filling here

[@reallyhappenings5597]

HF has a couple decent spot welders, ak builders use them

anyone remember the brand of glazing he uses?

[@MrCodwaw101]

What year F-150 is this?

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

Notification squad!👍🏻

[@dentmastersofnymichael3316]

Must be older than 2014 because they are all aluminum after ‘14 if I am correct

[@zippythechicken]

14's still were steel and in 2020 they are going back to steel on some of their models because they are about 40% stiffer bodies and don't flex as much... also the weight savings won't be completely lost..

[@anonymousinc6330]

Rust repair on a Ford? Don't you mean routine maintenance? 🤣

[@rickburt7055]

You sure are meticulous. I wonder how many shops take the time necessary to do the kind of work you do.

[@oacumulador]

Almost none I suppose.

[@bstevermer9293]

It’s not the shop, it’s the guy doing the work.

[@larryfournier4403]

He doesn't answer questions people

Do you ever worry about the volatile chemicals you use and the incidence of cancers and brain malignancies ?
