Not bad my guy. Not bad at all. A little discrepancy in the jamb on the right side but much better than I and most can do! Especially using sheet metal instead of prefabbed parts! Good work brother

Thank you so much for commenting and supporting the channel. The process was about 17 hours of work. I tried my best to choose the important part of each episode and make it under 9 minutes video. I misplaced the last two episodes and that caused some discrepancy. Since it was my first video, I will do better job as far as uploading the videos to have better idea of the repair process and not create any confusion. Thank you again Brother.🙏🏼🙏🏼

Word Damnskippy an awsome ,rust removal ,body repair and automotive paint job.

[@jerryweigl4730]

Like so many others who commented, I am impressed by the quality of your workmanship. Well done! I am wondering, though, if there shouldn't have been some drain holes put into the panels for water and leaves and debris that runs off the windshield and down the venting alongside the bottom of the windshield and down to the panels. Those FACTORY holes in the panels become plugged -- they should have been made bigger at the factory -- and are a major cause for the rusting to have occurred in the bottom panel and door opening in the first place. That's my opinion anyway.

[@Autobody.repair.with.ALJWAD]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful and true comment. I totally agree with you. the holes were so small and they get blocked by time. I made sure to coat the interior section of the rocker panel with primer,undercoating urethane, and cavity wax to prevent any condensation or rust.again,thank you for commenting 🙏🏼

On my Chevy van big rust on lower under doors rocker panels I got some ABS black plastic 6 in and ran it through a table saw cut it in half. Two pieces the length from tire to tire. Drilled out resessed holes in top and Screwed in self tappers.. Black Caulk the top. Underneath I bent 5 bolts connected to anything. It's ugly Rusty mess but it worked and it will never rust there again. Oh I forgot I used old engine oil in a spray bottle mixed with some paint thinner and sprayed all the underneath before I started. For other projects, If you want free metal just find a commercial metal shop dumpster. If you get lucky you'll find the primed and painted with the plastic film overlay.

[@shutting1978]

It's a really great job. Just a question: What is the average cost for this maintenance?

[@johnswinkels2979]

Drill a drainhole in the inner section if possible spotweld lowwerside if not then drill 8mm holes before you put it on the car and if done correct welding you don't need to put fiberglass on the panel and wax the inside after painting

[@Autobody.repair.with.ALJWAD]

I made sure to drill a drain hole, the welds done correctly but I plug welded because there is no spot weld machine in the shop also, I sprayed cavity wax inside the panel using a 360° spray tip.the reason I put fiber glass is because the panel I received was defective so I had to re-fabricate the panel and that caused deep dings and hammer prints.i couldn't show every step of the repair process because of the length of the video(17 hours). I had to remove some important content to make the video less then 10 minutes.also,the low quality of the camera of my phone played a bad role too.

How much would it cost to do this job? I have one with the same issues but it would probably cost more then what the car is worth! Outstanding workmanship!

I realy don't know exactly how much the owner of our shop did charge the customer. All what I knew that it was very sentimental for the owner of the car to fix it regardless the cost,thank you for your great support to my channel. 🙏🙏

[@fishhuntadventure]

At a meager $65/hr x 17hrs = $1105, plus (modestly) $200 in paints, $50 supplies, $75 materials = $325 x 25% for overhead = $406.25 @ $1511.25 + tax
