Listen to Me ...I'm telling you this only because I've been doing this work since the 70s there is absolutely no reason why you needed to cut so high up on the quarter panel you should stay well away from that stamped curved panel and come down closer to the actual damage ...and don't be afraid to use vise grips or Clecos if you have them or is a hydraulic panel flanger that allows you the option of plug welding every one or every other one making it almost impossible to warp or overheat the patch panel the inner well you could have easily fabricated up making it near impossible for some putts to pick your work apart....

[@jonathanyates5198]

Customer didn't want to spend the extra money to have the inner fixed

[@CNlovinglife]

That would definitely test someone’s patients . Good for you 👍

One person dislike free knowledgeable content!?!? Wtf just because it’s beyond their comprehension let alone skill level. Stick to waisting your money buying new. The channel is for restoration. Keep up the good content it’s a lifeline for beginners.

[@Izziana]

im working on the exact same truck and the same issues. frame and wheel well resto. Good works thanks for the tips!

[@Tiredsg]

Great job!! Very helpful just watched all 6 videos, looking forward into working on my Ram 🐏

[@MrOrbitzHD]

what have i missed? you say put tape on inside of the line but then cut on the outside of the line? then you pit the flange on but how does it reach the end of the flange when you still cut on the line??

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Hmmm

[@290wayne]

Shame we aren't closer. I live in Holland, Michigan I'd have a job for you....

[@summergypsy1]

informative video thanks for making

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Thank you

[@ivealwaysbeencrazy2]

Great video but play all of them at at least 1.75 playback speed.

[@daz575]

Would be a lot easier if you cut that repair panel down a bit,

[@PredatorOmnivore]

What is the name of the undercoating you used with a paint brush?

[@Randy-ti5ci]

Should you have taken the foam out so it would'nt hold water again and rust out again?

[@fonhollohan2908]

I would of just replaced the metal in the arch itself instead of replacing metal in the whole fender wall as well.

[@Colin-Fenix]

I agree, he cut out a lot of good steel for no apparent reason. Then he doesn’t bother to fix the inner arch. Now there’s a giant hole for crap to collect and rust out the new panel. Doesn’t his thumbnail say “Do it right”. Very unprofessional video.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Gotta do what the customer says sometimes 🤷

[@Colin-Fenix]

@@bpbrestorations2093 - ok, great you were just following customer orders… did you state this at the beginning of the video? “This is a crap repair, but I’m showing you so you know how NOT to fix rust the right way”! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@bpbrestorations2093]

@@Colin-Fenix definitely was stated, and in comments many times over. The repair was not done to your liking, that's fine. Make a new video and show us how. However, many years later this truck still looks just as good as the day it left. Gained a repeat customer. And I'm making them stacks of cash. 💸 💰 🤑 💲

@@Colin-Fenix Listen and read to answer your questions

[@donatospoony]

I’ve never welded. Could I pop rivet it on with some sort of adhesive , grind , sand and fill ? Thks

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Yes 3m panel bond will work if you have access to a welder

[@jonhenhapl2308]

Looking good

[@ronhenderson9425]

In order to hear you talking, I turned the volume up. When the music came on it almost blew my ears out. Maybe you could turn down the recording volume, for the music, please.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Sorry for this issue. We resolved it later on in our vids.

[@slingshot1961]

Without fixing the inner wheel well it will just happen again sooner than later.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

They will all rust out again guaranteed

[@edweigman9683]

Will it rust behind the flange? I've butt welded before, but it really easy to warp the metal. This looks like a strong repair.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

As long as you use weld thru primer before welding it, and finish the back side with undercoating or a coating of your choice as long as it's not left bare. Yes butt welding is very much harder, but in same case things must be butt welded, however this is not one. As long as you burn it in good and have good welds you will have 0 issues.

[@edweigman9683]

@@bpbrestorations2093 I think I’m going to go this route. I warped the hell out of a vw I did, end result was perfect, but it was a PITA! Thanks for sharing!

[@bpbrestorations2093]

No problem buddy!

[@jc8862]

I know it would be more time consuming but wouldn’t it be easier to replace the whole side?

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Imo yes, but thats not what the customer wanted

[@davidg5704]

Where is part 2, welding? Thanks for video.

[@austincourtney7724]

What did you paint on the inner fender? What does it do? Thanks in advance!

[@JoeStroup774]

I believe it was p0r 15

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Yes it's called por15. Eastwood has some called rust encapsulater, and have used several others. Por15 seems to be where it's at as far as longevity.

[@DonNixon-mv7mi]

Can show how to make it with raw material.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

It would cost us more in time and material than it takes to do it with a stamped replacement. We will certainly keep it in mind on the next one we have come in and replacement panels are not available.

[@brianbrennan9476]

Probably a dumb question. But whats the reason for using a flange gun?

[@bpbrestorations2093]

When the panels are put back together after you flange it there is a tiny groove between new metal and old that is sunken in and that makes for a really nice spot to hide your welds and get it welded more solid and avoid having to "butt" weld which is generally a crappier weld.

[@brianbrennan9476]

Thats what I was thinking. Thanks for the information.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

No problem

[@kylebachman4477]

Not using glue? 3M panel bond? Saves a ton of warped sheet metal and grinding..

[@kylebachman4477]

Then again if rust repair is like it is here with customers.. they wouldn't want to spend the extra 30 bucks lol

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Learned most I know from a 70 year old man that done it his whole life. This is just the way I learned, and I love sharing what I have picked up. Not knocking any products or any other way but I wouldn't feel comfortable using that on this particular repair.

[@aarontyler6599]

Could have done well without the music

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Lmao yea I dont use that anymore.

[@heffedirte6243]

That's all the way gone? LMAO....come up north. That bed and tailgate is worth at least $700-800

[@bpbrestorations2093]

I would have left it lol but it wasnt mine and I like making money!

[@summergypsy1]

LOL yep. im about to buy a new one...my tailgate is NOT good in michigan lol

[@jymmihaha]

415? The rat stuff?

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Por15

[@hemibreath]

Looks like a “hack” job to me, no inner fender repair!

[@bpbrestorations2093]

O God not you too

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Owner have stated about 1 million times and even did in the video........ the owner didn't want it fixed...... now a million and 1

[@jonathanyates5198]

Read comments

[@JohnManus-ow6fd]

Unfortunately without replacement of the inner fender you're working in vein.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

The repair is nearly 5 years old now and still looks amazing and do work for this fella regularly. The correct way to do this is a full bed side and inner fender but not everyone has $4-$6k for that job. So we improvise, save money and our customers love us. Thanks tho

[@bendude6748]

I think if that truck was mine I would of sold it on and let someone else deal with it 😂

[@bpbrestorations2093]

I thought so too but with the current price of trucks this one is worth a small fortune now lol

[@camouflagesounds]

that was unnecessary.....

[@bpbrestorations2093]

Yes fords are rough

[@duett445]

I would have refused this job unless customer had agreed to have the inner wheel well repaired . It does not make sense to cover over rust with a new panel. Also you unnecessarily cut out way to much of the original metal.

[@bpbrestorations2093]

O ok, let me see your video to see how it's done........
