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

[@HisNameIsTater]

Your tab idea is slick, I use something similar when I'm fabricating, I'll just tack a rod on. Little things make all the diference. That's what I tell my wife anyway

[@BoredVetGarage]

Hahaha that’s why my gf has little hands. Stupid little tricks of the trade that make life a lot easier.

[@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.

[@marcosathens8140]

Good Job. You have "the touch" as we used to say. Best of luck with your project.

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thank you sir

[@KKDriver]

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

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thank you 🙌

[@restomodswede2245]

Oh no, now I need to do this next time my engine is out. :)

[@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

[@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!

[@jjtrades7186]

Nice work man

[@BoredVetGarage]

Thx man

[@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.

[@mikewegner2798]

Man that looks 🔥

[@BoredVetGarage]

Your old civic is going to be amazing!

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!

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

bro that color is fucking fire!!! whole car this??? sheeeeeesh. must see more!

[@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!

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

[@BoredVetGarage]

For the belt sander I was running 60.

[@aadd3538]

My guide coat is black satin

[@BoredVetGarage]

My guide coat is whatever spray paint I have laying around

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@humongouscodger437]

Do you sand all the way down to 600 with a belt sander

[@BoredVetGarage]

I’m confused by what you are asking?

[@humongouscodger437]

@@BoredVetGarage it seems very tedious I’m trying to figure out the best way to sand I know you were talking about the belt sander and 3 inch orbital

[@BoredVetGarage]

@@humongouscodger437 I sand the bay with 150 before I start any body work and a scotch bright, the belt sander is 60 grit for the welds.

[@YardManJZ]

What did you do to fill the areas where you removed seam sealer ?

[@BoredVetGarage]

Butt Welded, ground them down and then filled them.

[@YardManJZ]

@@BoredVetGarageI am also curious as to why you did Dolphin Glaze, Body Filler , then Dolphin Glaze Again ? Wouldn’t just body filler work in this case ?

[@BoredVetGarage]

@@YardManJZ It doesn’t matter how you do it. You could just use body filler. The glaze just sands easier. Body filler is thicker and doesn’t spread as easy. I do my last coat with glaze just to do my final shape and to fill in any pin holes from the filler.

[@YardManJZ]

@@BoredVetGarage thanks man . Appreciate your response . Going to try to replicate this on a project here for the first time

[@BoredVetGarage]

@@YardManJZ no problem man. I’ll tell you this. You can use just body filler. Glaze is kind of a luxury, not a necessity. Just keep an eye out for pin holes from the filler. And don’t use bondo brand lol it’s like sanding cement.

[@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!

[@jonelliott4985]

Nice job on the engine bay bro... but I kinda dontbagree with you on the no way people can do primer in only two coats... the thing is it depends on a person's experience and technique personally I used to do my prep fully before primer basically if you do your filler in coats that are designed to build fill and smooth using the different levels of filler that are colour coded you can square away all defects in the filler stage so when your first primer layer goes on with a couple over top to wet flat it an see any more low spots which should be none then clean it prime it again with its top coat primer wet flat then use your chosen colour to flow coat wet flat it then spray second layer of colour wet flat lawyer wet flat lawyer wet flat then punish with a sponge mop and curing paste mixed with a good was then buff with sheep's wool mop and done only time you would need more than two coats of primer is if your prep work ie body work and filler was not done precise...any way I might dis agree with your statement of primer coats but I think you did a helps job with your engine bay an I love the twotone colour flip in that paint it looks well slick budd

[@BoredVetGarage]

I’m talking in regards to a restoration project. I don’t need to do multiple primer sessions for a collision repair. When I do a full restoration the entire car gets block sanded with at minimum 2 sessions of 4 coats. Even if there’s no damage. But I was mainly stressing it in this bay. Have you ever done a full shaved bay before? It’s not like doing any other body work that’s for sure. I don’t wet sand primer. I don’t understand some of your wording either by helps hand?

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@BUZDRIFT]

What pearls are you using?

[@BoredVetGarage]

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