In addition to the talent of imagining how to get to a finished car when the starting point is near zero original car, Robert pulls it off with the crap stampings that are more and more common. 🙌🏾. My respects! Thanks for this great content!

[@guzzifabrication3448]

That's awesome !! thank you for the compliment !

[@allan-mw7op]

That was a tough tail panel,you nailed it !

[@guzzifabrication3448]

That was no fun.... but I really want to meet my customers expectations.

[@brettmerryman2837]

Looking forward to when my son is old enough to build something together. Thanks for supporting the channel.

[@brettmerryman2837]

You’re welcome!

[@johnkelly6942]

The taillight bucket and quarter come from different suppliers? Has that taillight bucket stamping been around for along time? Didn’t know if you were already aware of the problem when you cut apart the deck lid lip.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Same manufacturer, alot of times you don't know until you start cutting things apart..... yeah it sucks....

[@jeremyolson2596]

Awesome!

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Thanks!

[@gofastwclass]

Results look nice. I'm curious why you didn't TIG weld the panels.

[@junkyarddawgfixit8970]

Many of the body panels that are being supplied appear to be "blems" or "seconds" these are terms we used, many years ago, in the construction industry to describe a product or material that was somehow "inferior" in its manufacture. At least back then the supply houses would disclose this and offer it at discounted prices and would also offer the #1 materials at regular price. There appears to be a disconnect between what restorers need to correctly and efficiently rebuild these vehicles, and what the manufacturers are willing to supply. What's worse is that the prices of these inferior materials have nearly doubled in some instances, but the quality has not improved. There needs to be a feedback loop to the manufacturer where these issues can be communicated, where nothing is lost in translation and transparence of the problems are addressed instead of just being accepted by the industry. Keep rolling.......

[@guzzifabrication3448]

You are absolutely right... but we have let big business become monopolized across-the-board.... at this point in time, they have normalized, here's what's available take-it-or-leave-it..... and on top of that availability is shrinking... Going forward, I've decided to start patching, fabricating repair panels to fix original parts and not replacing complete panels unless I don't have a choice and there is too much damage or just not taking on certain jobs that I know are going to turn into a nightmare because of the replacement parts quarter panels/ tail light panels in particular.....

[@michaelmacpherson-wm6mh]

those tail light panels don't fit on 64 Impala's either. most patch panels these days are junk

[@guzzifabrication3448]

Yes Sir !!

[@tonyscott8126]

You are giving me confidence to fix the alignment of the body panels of my Camaro. I understand that you want to check your work and make sure the metal isn't too thin but stabbing it with an ice pick seems like you are creating small dents everywhere.?.?

[@guzzifabrication3448]

@@tonyscott8126 well let me start by saying yes you absolutely can do your own work ! find good instruction and then follow the steps As for the dents... yes I do use a pick usually I push, what I'm actually doing is more for the video and I'm striking the weld bead yeah you're not going to dent that. Thanks

[@82Ismael]

Question brother. What website do you use to purchase any body metal part for an impala

[@guzzifabrication3448]

I've had the best luck with Classic Industries.
