✅ Fixing a Quarter Panel with a Use of SPOTTER

In this video I will show you a step by step process of how I metalwork a damaged quarter panel back into it's original location with some basic tools and a use of a spotter. With a use of a laser I'll figure out how far the the meal needs to be pulled back out. This is by far the easiest and fastest way that I've found thus far to tackle a repair such as this one.

[@PhillipHall01]

My Son and I did one according to his instructions for a school Science project and placed well! Fix has two versions. The first is the most simplest. Try it that way and hit the weld button for a manual operation with a quick zap, that will get the job done! Good luck, Phillip Hall

I love the way you work, how you process. very creative for sure. When you say "I need to do this..." and I usually say "how the heck are you going to do that..." and am surprised at your ingenuity when you get it done. Not sure what you do for a 9-5, but i wish you had a shop for your sake 😀😀

Спасибо мастеру за подробный обзор ремонта. И отдельное спасибо за лайфхаки с лазерными нивелиром и приспособлением для вычерчивания контура арки. Хотя кому то, последнее покажется банальным, но я до такого чесно говоря не догадался, постоянно прочерчивал штангенциркулем, не говоря даже и про вытяжку арки под лазерный нивелир, это вообще супер!!! Обязательно, применю эти лайфхаки в ремонте. Ещё раз огромное спасибо, что делитесь секретами в кузовном ремонте.

Dang that looked like a hard one. You made it look like nothing. Great job on the line. So where do you recomend me buying a spotter tool to make one like yours from? Ive looked and looked but since ive found some in all different price ranges on amazon am worried to get a good quality one.

[@rjung_ch]

He has a video online on how he built his.

[@fix206]

I left a link at the end of that video to the spotter build video

[@PhillipHall01]

Have fun building it Phillip. It is a rewarding venture! Phillip Hall

[@mikeshowtoandthings]

Once you get your metal pulled as close to the measurements as possible, have you thought about using a contour gauge to replicate the proper contours off the other quarter panel to get the damaged sections as close to original shape as possible? What are your thoughts on this tool?

[@fix206]

Once I tightened all of the metal up, for the most part everything went back to original shape so there was no need for contour gauge

[@PhillipHall01]

That had been my finding as well. Phillip Hall

[@BrucePierson]

Nice work as usual. Glad to see another video, as your videos are always interesting and informative. I'll have to look into making a spotter some century when I have nothing to do, as one of our cars needs work similar to this. At the moment, I'm still setting up my new shop, which is progressing slowly, but taking up most of my time.

[@PhillipHall01]

I built one thanks to Fix’es instructions and love it! Phillip Hall

[@fix206]

Having a shop sure is nice, I am currently in Florida for about a week where wife and I are looking at different areas to possibly relocate to. The place that I would be buying would have to have quite a bit more property then I currently own and preferably already have a shop on site or at least have a good spot for me to put the shop in... Hopefully it pans out!

[@PhillipHall01]

@@fix206 Good luck Fix. I have a cousin in Panama City.

[@BrucePierson]

@@fix206 Hopefully you find a good property that suits your needs and you can relocate to a warmer climate and get rid of the snow. We moved here to Queensland about 30 years ago from New South Wales for a warmer climate, but the winters here are still a bit too cool for my liking (rarely below 35F at night with days rarely below 60F max, but way, way better than where we came from. We have five acres here, mostly bush (woods) and we have about an acre near the middle where we built our house and big shed, etc. Setting up my small shop at the moment and I realized that I need a wood shop as well for my woodwork stuff, so it looks like another shop is on the cards to build once I finish this shop. Then I need to extend the big shed for my car painting shop. It all takes time!!

thank you for all the tips on doing body work im new to this field of work and trully enjoying this channel, also watched the spot welder video; question where can i get the same handle puller that you use to bring the dents out, the black one, 13:26 cause i have only found the slide hammer style on ebay and amazon

[@fix206]

I bought that puller from Russia some time ago, and actually worked with the manufacturer to get a small shipment of them to USA which wasn't easy... So I have some available for sale if you're interested

Hi , can i ask , what umbrella are you using?

[@mrgoldfpv7331]

Hello from Chicago area.Any tips for painting in cold weather ?

[@fix206]

I have painted in freezing temperatures before with good results. Usually my main thing that I check for is that it's not going to rain or snow and also no windy or breezy conditions. Go lighter on material as you're laying them down so you don't run 'em.

[@diywithreza]

Binge watching your videos! out of curiosity, how much would a job like this cost?

[@fix206]

Job such as this one can range $500-700... It is much more economical than having to spend more money on a replacement panel and still pay the same amount for labor

[@PhillipHall01]

Hi Fix, I hope all is well. Have you been doing any work on your old Chevy Truck? Phillip Hall

Hello Philip, all is well here. Just keeping busy as usual, new projects coming in and I film everything...
