[@stevensanabria1326]

I like Matt's way of teaching and encouragement. I appreciate Eastwood's commitment to education. Makes me enthusiastic to buy your products. Seriously.

[@eastwoodco]

More to come!

Steven Sanabria it’s real easy to follow and no complicated language. I’m jnteressted for the welder settings, what type of rod etc.

[@shaunwilliamcallahan]

One of my favorite videos from Eastwood so far. Really great to see someone around my skill level getting help from y’all in their own shop space. Looks like more videos are coming too. Looking forward to it. THANKS!

[@eastwoodco]

Thanks Shaun, more to come!

Matt is able to tackle all jobs , good communication. Excellent instruction for beginners and good refresher for more the experienced .

Getting ready to start patching up rust on my ole 1960 Willys CJ5. These videos help build my confidence prior to that first tack weld.

[@skeeter2746]

This is RAD!!! Cool stuff as always from Matt and the Eastwood crew!

[@timmcdaniels7083]

Great real world video guys, keep them coming!

[@jt8251]

A belt sander sure makes shaping the patch a whole lot easier.

[@moptop85]

Cover the hole with tape and run a razor blade on the edge of the hole. Put the cut out piece of tape on the new metal and this will give you a good patch panel.

[@EivinSukoi]

It easier to use a piece of carton paper over the hole opening , spray paint the rear to reveal the opening.

[@MaxmadmaxRockatansky]

Great job. Your're great. Fantastic videos. Thanks for your share.

i'd do anything for a video like this on a C-10 cab corner. Pretty much in the same boat new to welding and restoring cars. Started to do a Cab corner and I'm getting pretty overwheeled due to me not knowing to much lol.

[@michaeltaylor7442]

Mitch Johnson look up diyautoschool

[@jimmiranda7181]

You're not alone. I've got a cab corner, gas filler and the inner front roof. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWHInWd6iritiNk

[@jimmiranda7181]

At 6:25 you show the welder settings between H & I on the voltage and 6 & 7 wire speed whereas the suggested settings for .035 sheet metal with .023 wire are D4. I am currently working on the very same project 68 C20 and the MIG135. My prep is textbook and my gaps got tighter than you have illustrated here. However, I kept blowing through and had to start over twice so I have some questions. Are you using an extension cord? Angle of the gun to work 10-15 degrees? How thick is your patch? 20 gauge? Any suggestions? Maybe Matt can fly out west and give me a hand.JK

[@wyattoneable]

Nice work guys.

[@Lzyrslf1]

great work. what do you use for rust prevention on the back side after the patch is in place?

[@eastwoodco]

Internal Frame Coating is a good start, you can use it without the extension nozzle to coat the inside of this panel - www.eastwood.com/eastwood-internal-frame-coating-14oz-aerosol.html?

[@jimmiranda7181]

POR15 either top coat or Rust Preventive. Paint Over Rust

[@AirARTBBQ]

What is a good first welder to work on car body work. Anything from any brand and what is a good duty cycle. I used a miller in the past but that vo tech school. Which voltage is better.

[@southpaw1969]

That Eastwood they're using is probably fine. I just got a Hobart mig 140 for patching, it's a little more money but it is working well so far.

[@eastwoodco]

We're using the MIG 135, great for sheet metal - controls are really simple and we'e even had professional welders tell us it's they're go-to welder over the competitors! Best bang for your buck in our opinion - www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html

[@BCblackchicken]

great work, more like this.

[@vezina808]

How do i remove the panel if i decide to put a gas tank in cab?

[@66mybeat]

Great video!!

[@adamortega69]

I have a 67, 68 C10 and a 79 Camaro. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

[@terrykeithley6183]

Ok Kenny, Matt expect's Pizza as partial payment, lol. Terry

[@stickytiregarage7065]

Was that flux core wire

[@eastwoodco]

It was not, we are using mixed gas.

[@jimmiranda7181]

where is the ground connected? I set my machine as you have illustrated here and I keep getting "blow through". I am using the same machine.

[@eastwoodco]

Are you trying to hold the torch at different angles to the sheet metal? Rather than straight-on? Often a slightly different angle will prevent blow-thru since you're not directly splitting the hole/bad metal.Also, adjust heat and wire speed.

[@jimmiranda7181]

After watching the video with Bob teaching the camera guy, I've learned to hold the gun nozzle to a 15-20 degree angle to the work piece and I was clipping my wire to short. I'll post a video of what I've got going on. Thank you, Eastwood.

[@404_profile_not_found]

It must be very cold in that workshop

[@acesantics1287]

First!!!

[@eastwoodco]

You got it!

[@thegoat5334]

Good video, but pls a little less talk and more C10...

[@andybaker5800]

that was awful... hard to watch. At least do it properly Eastwood.

[@wraithvendeta]

Andy Baker you got a channel?

[@andybaker5800]

No mate... but I know rough work when I see it. Maybe the guy was new ? Don't know. I wouldn't want work like that on my stuff and if you were critical you wouldn't either. Just sayin...

[@andybaker5800]

Actually just rewatched and the guy is pretty new to metal so I take it back. Everyone has to start somewhere so good on him, keep it up.

[@Shakerhood69]

Nice job
