Still the cleanest workshop on Utube

[@danbusey]

Craftsmanship matters. You have that under control

[@johngranato2673]

I have used Sea-jacket on the inner cowl. It not only sealed the inner cowl, but I use it to build up and eliminate that depression around the coffee-cans.

[@Gtown1777]

It's 112 degrees in my shop building so today is "research day". That means watching your videos. Thank you for the instructions and inspiration.

[@patrickreynolds801]

I like your videos. Good info and you don't drag them to long. Thanks for all the professional input and advice.

Like 90 weld thru primer is my go to weld thru prime I've had really good luck with.

[@brianhdueck3372]

Totally agree on the weld through primer. I paint the surfaces and then clamp the parts together. I have a 1/4” drill bit I have ground flat. I then “drill” the paint off through each of my plug weld holes.

[@TxStang]

I agree with you about weld thru primer , I don't use it anymore either . I have been just taking thinned out epoxy primer in a syringe wind a needle tip and squeezing it into the tint gaps that I can get to around the spot welds . Having thinned out lets it flow in the pretty good and Ido 2 rounds of it about 30 minutes apart .

[@davidb0126a]

Looks really good after it's dry.

I’ve tried a couple different weld through primers. I think you’re right they get in the way when you want to strike your arc. I usually spray the weld through primer on both sides and before I weld I’ll scratch through the hole where my plug weld is with a wire brush. I just scratch the surface a little bit and that helps me strike my arc and get my weld started.

[@donsmanufactory]

I too had trouble with weld through primer. I also sealed the inside gap of the hats. On my car those 2 welds holding the apron connector to the top of the upper cowl broke loose so water ran down inside the hat, filled that gap and rusted from the inside.

[@robertoiffel]

I'm glad you show people how labor intensive it is and the innerspring are as important as the outer preparation

[@thinkingofyouto1]

Keep them coming happy to watch and learn

[@stevecarlson7483]

Awesome work on all of your 'Stangs!! Videos are short, informative and inspiring. As a TV reporter may a make a suggestion? As you shoot you're on camera videos, I've noticed that you look to the left side of the shot vs making forward eye contact with your audience. Maybe look into the lense of your GoPro. Again, great work. Keep it up!

[@enloealex]

These are great videos. Thanks for spending the time to make videos like these.

[@johnnybravo6047]

Always informative and professional. Love your content. Keep’em coming!

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Good info for this always looking forward for your next videos thumbs up 👍👍

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

Very good show thanks

[@dintexas2095]

Thanks for the info. You help me a lot on my cars. Love your work,keep the videos coming.

[@robj2704]

Maybe, one day someone will come up with a good way to seal the underside of the top panel where the two panel seams are welded together.

[@butcher390]

Absolutely 💯 love your content !! Just a question . Have you ever utilized , a copper type of , Weldable primer ? What are your thoughts 🤔 ?

[@petersonrestorations]

Yes still don’t care for it’s functionality

[@zztopjhonsson2484]

Really nice 😎

[@mariomuz8]

i would buy a car from u any day

[@philtucker1224]

Such nice work, it really frustrates me how poor Ford’s design was inside the cowl to reliably clear the water away without the drain areas blocking up with debris. Is there any access to keep that drain regularly clear once the car is built?🤔

[@MAn-ti3ul]

Most people who go to this length to restore a car are not leaving it outside. So the need to worry about the drain holes getting plugged with debris is a moot point!

[@philtucker1224]

@@MAn-ti3ul yes I can appreciate that! 👍

[@TheJoefussGarage]

Love watching your work.. Do you typically leave bottom in the black, or will you hit it with the color paint, if you know color car be ultimately painted ? PS: on the 65 F/b cowl job, the car was painted white already, so I did cowl panels just You've shown before, though I used Appliance white epoxy paint over the Eastwood Encapsulator as well. Curious 🧐, what are thoughts 💭 on what you can 🙈, thru the cowl louvers from after a car is finished? Thanks for sharing...

[@petersonrestorations]

Leave them black typically

[@nicpary7078]

Good to know the correct way to do these.👍🏻

[@strictlyvintageauto4967]

So you do not use weld through primer before you spot weld the top cowl panel on ? So bare metal on bare metal then prime and seam seal ? You do very nice work , thank you

[@petersonrestorations]

Yes but I use spray wands to coat back in closed areas

[@garygillespie3629]

What product do you use to clean the bare metal before you paint it. I look forward to every one of your videos! Thanks!!

[@petersonrestorations]

Clean prep before I paint

[@steves9905]

Did Ford change the cowl from 1969? Im pretty sure my '70 has a removable top cowl panel...not welded

[@petersonrestorations]

All 69-70 cars have a lower cowl, upper cowl, and a removable top cowl

[@Tom-ki3lq]

What brand of replacement sheet metal do you think s best

[@petersonrestorations]

Dynacorn

[@davidb0126a]

7:10 Hey, just a thought, but you ought to restart the background music at this point.

[@gary24752]

Why no paint respirator?

[@POPO-fy9hl]

I Dig it true craftsman

[@howietorock]

omg with that sealant curing will let off gases and you painted straight over it,it will bubble up

[@petersonrestorations]

Can paint over this seam sealer in 30 minutes

[@genemounce8302]

....question. . . If a fella were to weld up and delete the upper cowl vent areas, does he even 'need' to install a lower cowl? #racecar #nowipers . . .

[@petersonrestorations]

I would for structural support
