How To Use Aftermarket Patch Panels To Fix Major Rust.1948 GMC Part 4.

Hi Folks! Today we are going to remove and replace the complete outer cowl panel on the 1948 GMC. This installation is the same for any 1947 to 1954 Chevy or GMC truck. I'll be using an aftermarket replacement panel, which can present some fitment issues. In order to minimize any potential problems I will be refitting the door yet again prior to welding. Also, I will show how I eliminate factory lead seams so that less bodywork is required to smooth out the joint.

There has been something missing from your video's of late? But when you opened the video with the removal of lead. It finally came to "light" what's been missing. It's FIRE!!!! Where's the FIRE!!! In your previous videos you were setting everything on fire, including yourself. We want fire! We want fire! Bring back the fire! Thanks for the cool video!

Sorry Phil, the pyrotechnics department has been overworked and underpaid to the point where they refuse to participate with any of my nonsense

".... just to Saskatchewan farm truck standards" .... would be well sufficient for my taste, given what You did with this door/repairpanel fitment. I wish my Matra Espace would have had that amount of attention when they bodged it together back in the nineties.

[@pappabob29]

I would agree with Bee !! You're doing (at least showing us) the sheet metal portion only. Just like most of us in the craft trades who do only one facet (electrical, plumbing, framing, plastering, etc. Being around mechanics my entire eight decade life, it gets pretty easy to identify those that are a level or two above the "norm" and that is evident both in you and Scott. It seems that most of Scott's friends would fit into that category !!! So, watching you guys is not only "entertaining", but, frequently, is quite "inspiring" !! And, that aint no shit !!

Make it Kustom was showing off 1/8" hole tig plug welds where he would drill through both layers of metal and using the hole to penetrate. It simulates a spot welder and makes the bond nice and strong (you need to use more of them like a spot welder) but I would imagine they would be much easier to remove if you needed to like a factory spot weld.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Oh yeah, that method works great! I used to use it when all I had was a tig welder. In this case I had to weld through spot welds that I had drilled out, so mig was the only choice. The best defense against having to redo stuff is to just take your time and make sure everything is right before welding.

Some are ok but many are not. Nice work Carter 👍

The desire to bring those insanely rusted and trashed old trucks back to life in canada certainly is much different than here in the southeastern part of the US. Buying all of those patch panels and paying someone for the extensive amount of labor to install them(even if you could find a person willing to do it) just doesn't make good practical sense here. You can quite literally find a truck that is already in decent structural condition here in the states for far less than it would cost to pay a person(even doing work on the side) for 2 or 300 hours of labor. 4 years ago i crushed a 49 cab here in virginia that was in much much better shape than the one in the video because no one around here would even pay me 200 dollars for it(not kidding!)....all i can say is: "God Bless all of you in Canada!"

[@russdavis1960]

I was fortunate enough to learn the use of body solder (lead) back when I was in high school (mid-latter part of the 1970's)... We also used almost exclusively acrylic lacquer paint. There were RARE occasions when an enamel paint was used, and ever more rare.... Imron. I still use lead on some of my own repairs, but I do weld the seams solid. It's getting almost too costly to use lead any more (along with simply trying to have a good supplier), but I do enjoy using it. Aftermarket patch panels ARE a 'hit and miss' type of deal UNLESS you have a good source (which I'm happy you discovered one in Canada which has provided you with quality panels and great customer service for many years). I'll attempt to spread the news about your operatic lead role. I'm happy you were able to pasta the audition without too much drama. Hopefully my 4 friends will at least be marginally interested. Sadly, I more than likely won't be able to attend as I've been called to an audition myself to play a part in "Get Off My Lawn'.....
