@@fix206 They sure can, I have been restoring cars and trucks as a hobby for over 40 years in my driveway. I have also done many custom paint jobs right here too, worth tens of thousands of dollars. You can do anything you want to in your driveway. Just have to get out there and do it! I made my own fully enclosed 12 x 24 paint booth with 2 easy ups with sidewalls! I used a big plastic tarp from harborfreight for the floor when I paint to keep from screwing up my cement driveway and eliminate the dust. It is only there when I paint. Doing that the neighbors just see the easy ups and don't have anything to complain about you working on things in your driveway. I do all my work there and can open each end to clean it out and take cars in and out etc. I set it up in front of my garage door so I have access to everything in the garage too, where I keep all my tools and parts locked up. If people think a little they can do all this and keep the worst neighbors happy too, if you have problems in your neighborhood. No one bothers me I have owned this house for 50 years. We are on a very private and quiet street and I still don't bother anyone. It is a great hobby to have that makes you money while also giving you a great feeling when you finish restoring a car and you take it out for a drive and many people give you the thumbs up! That is the most fulfilling part for me. I look at a project car and can see it done in my mind, the car is like a blank canvas that I want to turn into a fine piece of art. Those compliments mean more than anything! People can make some good money in their driveway with this as a hobby. I have a corvette I have been doing for a couple years when I am out of things to do it is always there. It is ready for paint and reassembly now. a lot of work but it will be amazing when done. Right now I am doing a lincoln, a cadi, a Mercedes and a chevy truck. 2 are about done. It gives me a chance to find good deals on the parts I want by taking my time and having other things to do while waiting. I have thought about putting all this on video and loading it on youtube, but I get started and don't want to take the time to do all the video work too. I commend you for having the patience to do that. Thanks again!

I'm familiar with the "Blade" and I'm not too impressed with it, it only works on large flat areas... it's just a large spreader, instead you can just use a 12 inch drywall mud spreader with similar results... Can't use it on surfaces with compound curves
@uptrend93784 жыл бұрын
Great video as always brother ! Can’t wait to see the finish product ! What grit sandpaper do you use to start sanding the filler ? I’ve heard Normally you will use 36 grit to remove paint down to bare metal and to do some rough shaping of your autobody filler. Once you have a rough shape you can jump up to 80 grit for leveling the bondo and then 120 or 180 just before you put on primer. Is that accurate?
@fix2064 жыл бұрын
You can use 36/40 grit paper if you are working on a large area and need to blend it all together rather quick. In smaller areas like in this vid since I had metal work done pretty good I didn't have to put a thick layer of filler on the panel so i had to knock down just a minimal amount of filler so I started out with 80 grit. And I normally finish off with 180 which is suitable for high build primer.

@fix2064 жыл бұрын
I have never heard of Octoral or Kapci... Must be a European brand? Base coat that is commonly used in U.S. is PPG and Dupont but both are pretty expensive options, I used to use Matrix brand for sometime, but then they raised their prices. So now I use Perfectcoat which is produced by Sikkens. Perfectcoat isn't all that cheap but quality is real good, I like spraying it. This Acura isn't too old, it's 2014 model with low miles. I got a pretty good deal on it so I couldn't pass it up. I usually don't pick up cars that are too new or that are real expensive, most cars that I buy, I get from the insurance auto auction. That means that all of these cars had been deemed as a total loss by the insurance company. Therefore when I go to sell them I normally target a buyer that would have enough cash on hand to buy the car out right. Because once you get into newer, more expensive vehicles, most people don't have enough funds on hand to cover the purchase so they have to get a loan through the bank and banks here don't like to loan money on cars that had been previously totaled out by the insurance company. Therefore selling newer/more expensive cars is much more difficult than slightly older/less expensive ones. As far as making pulls in the garage, you can just put some anchor pots into the floor and use a rollaway tower. I ended up just building myself a portable Frame rack that I can tip on its side and put it up against the wall once I'm done using it. It's about 10 feet long but the thickness of it is only 5 inches so once it's up against the wall it's not taking up any space at all. Here is the link to the video where I built it kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaOmnJxmd7lrfNk

yeah ,I've seen your Doser frame ,that's too much work ,I don't want to think about how long it took ya from planning it all, getting materials an actually building it, I'm looking in to something like that (kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4vcm4CsbZqXfZo) when you done with it just put it away so you don't see it))) Copart mate, I do the same but just as a hobby . And you are right about getting a cheaper cars so people can buy it, had the same problemmo with selling it .but older cars have so many problems collected over the years and you there to solve it. you got it with damage there but after inspection you have all car with bit here and there newer cars got totalled with lighter damage so easier to repair but harder to sell . need to make this spotter tool from mastic gun))) good luck Boss

Indeed, getting my frame rack from an idea to finished product took me close to six months. But I had a vision of what I wanted and I was determined to get it done. Just as yourself I do this as a hobby, I do have a day job where I manage a trucking company and I work on cars in my spare time. It keeps me busy and also provides a source of side income. I normally buy Japanese cars that are between 4-7 years old, also I make sure that whatever I buy has lower miles. Japanese cars are reliable, everybody knows that and if you put lower mileage in that equation then it makes the sale that much easier :-) Сам то откуда родом? Как давно живёшь в Англии?

I actually started my channel by fixing that speed3 after I got carjacked and thief got away with my Speed3 but not before he side swiped a pole that resulted in the 2 doors and part of the quarter panel needing to be replaced. If you go through my videos and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list, you'll see how the channel got started with the Mazda repair/paint videos...
