I know for a fact I’m going to randomly remember this video in 3 years . Even though I have no mechanic skill or aptitude I just want paint and do a 3sgte swap on 96 Toyota rav4

[@BoredVetGarage]

I started out at 15. I bought my first civic and got to welding. It turned out like hot garbage but failure has been the best lesson for me. No one in my family knew anything about bodywork/paint. Start on some junk parts and work your way up until you get the confidence to do it man! Thanks for watching.

[@tiocharlye]

Tienes que estar orgulloso de este trabajo, como decimos en Colombia, la experiencia no se improvisa. Experiencia, como dices, desde los 15 años, no quisiera meter un motor aho

[@BoredVetGarage]

@@tiocharlye Gracias mi amiga

[@yuryv.2188]

enjoyed every bit of this video can watch for another hour man so satisfying with the result

[@BoredVetGarage]

Glad to hear it! Thank you 🙏

[@slackerzsincity8822]

Sheez, just thinking about the amount of work makes me not want to do it, but when I see the final product makes me want to do it.

[@BoredVetGarage]

You don’t have to get this crazy with it.

[@KKDriver]

Wish i could’ve watched this before i did mine! you did absolutely amazing man, great work🔥🔥

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thank you 🙌

[@JacobLotz-kx2hu]

One of the best videos I’ve seen on shaving an engine bay this is going to help me so much with mine!

[@BoredVetGarage]

That’s great to hear man! Definitely appreciate it.

[@desertstvrm]

Boyeh I do body work 48 hours a day, I started this the second my mother slipped me out. I don’t need advice from you brother. Great video bro for real though I’m saving this!!!!

[@desertstvrm]

Oh and a tip for your paper you use to tape, try putting a cheap painters plastic from dollar tree and make a cover with it

[@BoredVetGarage]

That’s a solid tip man! Thank you

[@dartology]

Tons of work in that mate. Looks fantastic and the video has great tips too. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@BoredVetGarage]

Much appreciated man! Glad you liked it.

[@Willis-de5hx]

Awesome work 👍

[@BoredVetGarage]

Appreciate it man!

[@jjtrades7186]

Nice work man

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thx man

[@BoredVetGarage]

I just added links to everything I used in the description of the video. If I missed something you have questions about just lmk.

[@Dblpumped]

Looks great !...im also doing a pearl color right now. Keep the content coming !

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thanks man! Pearls the way!

[@AJVAN_]

Amazing hard work. I will be doing similar thing to my Celica as soon as I build a garage. The only thing I would do differently is the paint base and pearl. Black with light blue pearl would look amazing.

[@BoredVetGarage]

That’s what is recommended. I made the base coat for this. Personal preference.

[@deimosphob]

If your shock towers are warped you can always add shock tower braces and cap it off

[@clne36]

My gosh man this looks SOOOO good! Seriously impressive. All the time and effort you put in paid off. Will you come finish mine haha!

[@BoredVetGarage]

Yeah, right after I get feeling back in my fingers 😂 Just wait until I have the whole car looking like this! Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@kateweirauch5678]

That is BEAUTIFUL! You are so talented. And handsome 👀

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thanks babe 😘

[@mikewegner2798]

AMAZING WORK BRO💯THANKS FOR THE CONTENT

[@BoredVetGarage]

Glad you enjoy it man! More to come.

[@user-vh3mk2hn3q]

How would you run the engine harness underneath the frame?… what color pearl you put in the clear coat it LOOKS good

[@BoredVetGarage]

I’m not going to run it through the frame. Subscribe if your not already and you will see how I’ll end up doing it! The pearl is applied with an intercoat clear, I’ll put the materials in the description soon. I’m working on a list right now. Much appreciated man!

[@juanespinoza-ue4fy]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BoredVetGarage]

Appreciate it bro

[@vaughandieselsweeklyword9331]

Not sure if i missed it or not but did you stitch weld where the seam sealer goes

[@BoredVetGarage]

I did. I had so much video (over 130). I was just trying to narrow it down so it didn’t get so muddy.

[@jacobpooler6299]

other than practice, what advice can you give to someone trying to learn how to fill holes with mig?, watching you fill the rad support holes was a eureka moment for me lol

[@BoredVetGarage]

Grind and clean the metal you are going to weld. Keep your tip off the metal. Keep the tip clean, you will know when it’s not. Use Aragon if you have the hookup. Don’t chase burn throughs, let it cool off and come back to it. Try drilling some holes in a junk fender and practice a little until you feel comfortable. Hope this helps.

[@jacobpooler6299]

@@BoredVetGarage absolutely this helps, I appreciate it man! Thank you for your service sir!

[@BoredVetGarage]

Happy to help. Good luck man.

[@tjhemrick]

What color/brand is that? It's 🔥.

[@BoredVetGarage]

The pearl is in the description. The base is a custom color I made. Thanks man!

[@davidd727]

In the beginning. The seam sealer. Did you remove all of it? If so did you weld for strength and then cover it with body filler?

[@BoredVetGarage]

Yes I welded the joints together. Some stuff I didn’t get filmed. There were already over 130 separate videos for this.

[@davidd727]

@@BoredVetGarage great job. I’m hoping to get started on my hatch shell one day.

[@BoredVetGarage]

@@davidd727 it’s a rough time lol but just dive in man! Thanks for watching.

[@cooliecrewspeedshop]

What grit belt sand paper did you use for grinding the excess weld patches?

[@BoredVetGarage]

For the belt sander I was running 60.

[@jnamotorsportsntrucking747]

Can’t wait to get the whole car in this!!

@@BoredVetGarage I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT BRO..ILL BE TUNED IN ,IM SUBSCRIBED…

[@gamercoolapple1]

What colors did you use for base and top color ?

[@BoredVetGarage]

Custom color I mixed from my mix bank. The pearl I used is in the description as well.

[@geometric1227]

Damn, I was gonna have a go at doing something like this in my skyline. I have next to no experience with body work so I might remove this from the list 🤣 All up how many hours do you think you put into the engine bay?

[@BoredVetGarage]

It took around 40-50 hours. It’s no small task man. Skyline huh? Nice!

[@geometric1227]

Your bay looks mint 👌 I have about zero fab and paint skills so it'll be a learn on the go thing for me. I'm guessing you're a military vet? I did 15 years in the Australian air force, now my skyline build is pretty much my daily hobby as I can't work any more. I subbed to the channel and look forward to seeing more of your content and stealing some tips from ya.

[@BoredVetGarage]

Happy to help. Your import laws are a lot more lax over there! I did 6, army. Awesome man, hope you learn a thing or two!

[@tonykartracer8032]

I dunno, I don't like shaved engine bay. I like it to be a bit of spaghetti mess under the hood..... just makes it look more real to me. Shaved engine bays with wire tuck everywhere just look too cartoony for me, if that makes any sense. Hehe. With that said, it looks like you know what you are doing so keep it up.

[@BoredVetGarage]

My first shaved bay. Feels like it’s appropriate for what I’ll have in it :)

[@gateaccess818]

carbon accents against this color would be LETHAL!!!!

[@gateaccess818]

@16:59, n fn lie. my bay probe has 5 coats of filler, primer, ect. so much fn sanding. peoples jaws drop when i tell them the cost to shave their bay... they have no idea how bad that shit really is haha worht. fuck yes. but fun.. not really... lmfao

[@BoredVetGarage]

Yeah I would never do one for someone lol this was enough 😆. New video comes out tomorrow! Thanks for the compliments!

[@BUZDRIFT]

What pearls are you using?

[@BoredVetGarage]

I will have a list of materials in the description Monday.

[@BUZDRIFT]

@@BoredVetGarage Nice, great choice BTW!
