Doing Tricky Metal Work on a Totaled Rolls Royce Ghost Repairing Quarter Panel Damage PART 2

In this Video I'm going to complete all of the work with metal on a totaled Rolls Royce Ghost. I'll use the Spotter tool to fine tune the imperfections on the door skin and the fender, and totally rework the quarter panel skin back to almost factory shape. I will explain the entire process along the way, so even a complete novice could easily follow along and understand the process.

you are a great teacher, example to follow, smooth and clean 🙌

[@BrucePierson]

That was really interesting how you fixed that big dent without even touching it (when you corrected the leading edge of the quarter panel). One thing I've done in the past when using a spirit level (or other straight edge) to locate low spots, is to mark the low spots with a pencil, so I end up with a series of horizontal lines showing where the "dent" is. This video must have been really interesting, because it was over before I could blink. Looking forward to seeing more progress as the Ghost returns to pristine condition.

[@fix206]

Don't you just love it when you work on one part of the car and the other part just fixes itself in the process ? 😂 I made this video a bit shorter, I know a lot of folks don't have the patience to sit through a much longer video, so I'm just experimenting here with the video durations just to see what works better and what doesn't

[@crazycowboy213]

Keep making videos you make great videos and its a great joy to watch them

[@fix206]

Thanks man, there are a lot more videos coming, stay tuned !

[@RODZILLA65]

I first came to your channel watching You build your own frame rack.

[@fix206]

That was a good video, it's basically what got my channel off the ground

[@L0pez2667]

Looking great. Love the videos. And I like how we can see a glimpse of the next video to come at the end. Nice touch!

[@fix206]

Cool, thank man !! I think I'll keep doing more of the glimpse, it gives folks something to look forward to in the next vid :-)

[@mrampy7927]

You are very talented indeed! Looking really good so far, waiting for next clip on this series!!! Thanks 😊

[@fix206]

Thank you! 😊 I should have the next video out Sunday morning, stay tuned !

[@HiMattHigh]

Good job with the body line. It looks like you will have fixed all the old imperfections too and have it better than before back there.

[@fix206]

I ended up basically having to take off all of the old Bondo off of that quarter panel. And reworked some of the stuff that was left behind from the prior repair. In the end everything turned out perfect 👍

[@LiquidAudio]

Awesome series of videos and incredible work!

[@fix206]

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you like the content !!

Really enjoying your videos of the Ghost

[@fix206]

Thanks Alan, I just finished up another ghost, it was not nearly as bad as the first one, but I think it makes for an interesting video nonetheless. I got a few videos in line before the new ghost videos will drop... Cheers

that puller is brilliant

[@fix206]

It really is... Makes this type of work much easier to do

[@konstatin232]

What is the name of the puller attachment?@@fix206

[@DavidHarnadek]

Were you able to improve the area where someone previously had 3/16” thick filler? Also - I like the smaller puller you used on the fender and the puller that works on variable depth dents.

[@fix206]

I for sure was able to improve that area under the body filler a bit more to make it flow little better with all of the other metal that I had to straighten back out. Smaller puller attachment works good when you're trying to keep the repair area small, other attachments with the bigger footprint will actually raise a larger area so they are really handy whenever I'm working on larger dents

[@UNIQUEGrills]

Good job 🔥

[@fix206]

🥳

[@PhillipHall01]

It’s really looking good. Great job! I can not find the ratcheting puller Gun with the removable round bases. Everything thing else I have.

[@fix206]

That puller attachment it's something that I ordered from Russia. I got it couple of years ago and not sure if I can even order it still. Plus the website that I got it from is 100% in Russian so it would be a bit difficult for a non-Russian speaker to navigate through it. So I guess the next best thing to use is some thing that Arthur Tussik is using with his spotter setup, and I included the link to that type of a puller in my spotter video description

[@PhillipHall01]

Thank you. You did a great job on the metal work of this nice car. No doubt it will finish great!

[@briancorrigan5350]

@@PhillipHall01 AliExpress> automotive tools> Search Spotter...look for an accessory kit for about $69.00. You still need to build your own Spotter. Subscribe and search Fix206's channel. He does two walk throughs of building one for little money.

[@PhillipHall01]

Brian Corrigan Thanks Brian. I have the accessory kit. And built the spotter. I was referring to the hand held squeeze ratchet puller with the round base used to pull out the small imperfections. I had ask Arthur Tussic about his several months ago, which is a little different than this one. ( the one that fix206 just posted for me) Arthur gave me the same link but it was shipped to Europe only. Actually if I had a choice I like fix 206 better. Unfortunately I can not purchase either . I even looked on Russian website and could not find it there either. Bummer lol. Maybe I can make one some how out of a paint calk gun?

[@ramibenrashid]

Great work What’s the tool you use to pull the dents?

[@fix206]

I actually built that tool... Here is the link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGe4mKd5g5qpsLc

[@DC-ke8qp]

@fix206 How long does it take to just pull and repair the panel? Not including sanding, painting and prepping

[@fix206]

Took around three hours to get the panel on the Rolls-Royce pulled and straightened out and ready for body filler

[@frank_jueye]

Is it possible to use spot welding machines on aluminum car doors?

[@fix206]

Aluminum process it's quite a bit different. I have seen an aluminum spotter online a while back. I think the way it works, instead of using transformers it uses large capacitors to deliver very high amperage to make the aluminum tabs stick. But I know for a fact that my set up will not work with aluminum.

[@lenardprice6813]

Hello sir you have inspired me to do my own work Question I have a 2011 Cadillac Escalade I like to conversion it to a 2015 front cowl will it line up and do I have to get a radiator support

[@fix206]

If I were you, I would start with fenders first by checking to see how well the contour of the fender lines up to the front door. In my opinion dealing with the radiator support down the road would be an easier task then trying to fix a poor fit between the fender and the door. Also you may want to search around online to see if this conversion had already been done. If someone had already done it, chances are they can answer your questions much better than I can :-)

[@lenardprice6813]

Thank you because when you repair one of my favorite car the ghost RR ,like a pro that why I ask you and yes it been done on 2007 to 2015 Cadillac Escalade front end conversion. Sir

I haven't worked on a newer Escalade yet, so I'm not too familiar with them :(

Oh I see what you mean now, at the end of the video I did mention that I ordered that attachment from Russia. But there are alternatives that other people have used with good results and I left a link to the alternative puller in the description

[@florinchimichanga1314]

Where did you learn to do body/frame/metalwork?

[@fix206]

I've been doing this for a long time. Even worked at a couple of body shops when I was younger and basically learned everything that I know on the job. Plus I still learn constantly from many different KZbin channels that I watch all the time. Like framework for example, that was one thing I was always afraid of doing because I did not know a whole lot about it. There is one Russian channel that I subscribe to where the guy is a really good with the frame repairs, I have watched hundreds of his videos and learned a ton from him. And I've heard him mention many times that he also watches a lot of other channels on frame repair and learns more and more from them. Learning is one thing that never stops !!

[@briancorrigan5350]

Watch everything this guy has done: Arthur tussik on youtube. Fix206 is also a big fan and has been kind enough to show you how to make a bunch of essential tools for cheap.

Where can I get the spot welding tool?

[@fix206]

I actually built mine from scratch, I made a pretty detailed video about how I did it. I am currently working on some things that I will be selling in the near future. One of the things is an upgraded electronic controll unit that runs all of the functions of the spotter, but it is a lot more advanced and user-friendly then the one that I did in the video. I will also have the hand held puller for sale as well. Should have that stuff available in a month or two... But here is a link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGe4mKd5g5qpsLc

man, i hat body filler. try using tin next time.

I sure do hate it to,,, by tin do you mean lead?

​@@fix206 well, your solder would have 70% tin and 30% lead. but you could call it that aswell, i guess.

[@fix206]

You must live outside US where you guys call it tinning... In US it's being called leading... It's kind of an old school technic, before modern body fillers where being widely used... I've never used that stuff, but would like to learn how to work with it some day
