OK, I gotta be the first to say it. The out take with Mrs Jeff saying “700 horse power” and then the purr....gold! Keep going mate, nearly there with the body work.

[@gav240z]

Jeff you should shave the lines on the valve cover back to bare metal too. Looks a bit odd with just the NISSAN-OHC part. But up to you of course. I found a heat gun really helped with the wrinkle finish and gave it a real consistent look and feel.

[@jamespull12]

gav240z agreed

[@computiNATEor]

Heat guns really develop the wrinkle-texture nicely.

[@cannednolan8194]

I like just the Nissan showing. Cause everyone does the lines. Or maybe do them in a different colour.

[@cybersurfer2010]

Nice scarf Miss Jef!

[@carportchronicles1943]

Nice job on the valve cover. In cold temperatures I've used a heat gun to speed up the curing of wrinkle paint.

[@Gildyyy]

jeff you are a true craftsman and have excellent taste haha

[@AtticusDraco]

That's why i hate bodywork, it's never done and never just right, I HATE IT That's why I admire your perseverance, you just keep at it I get very irritable during bodywork, the closer I get to final sanding, the more irritable I get,, I HATE IT!

[@OscarTangoAtc]

let it go.... let it goooo :-)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, I know what you mean, but I just have to keep going until it is right ;)

[@baxwarrior1681]

I love seeing your commitment into this work, hope you get more experience with the body filler soon

[@onepairofhands]

looks fab, well done Mr J

[@chrisa6845]

Nice job I use a dust extractor,it will change your life I recommend the mirka one. Also papers will last longer and you won't need a mask. mirka do a couple nice sanders which will also help but always hand finish as you are doing.

[@energyasylum997]

Morrisey!! Lol. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, he’s been rocking for decades, so ,.. ah, anyways,…. dude you are a skilled restorer of kick-ass automobiles !! Compliments, bravo!!

[@mdbm1hnybgujrtnmf]

just a tip with wrinkle coat Jeff. cure each coat with a heat gun. as specialy on aluminium. and i found applying it in a criss cross pattern helps aswel.

[@cf5914]

You gotta try the spray on filler. Its life changing. I put it on thick as and then just knock it back. I only use the regular filler for getting the bigger dents out. By the time I put on a urethane surfacer things are already pretty straight.

[@mickholgate3347]

Hi Jeff, great vids as always. As others have said below, get yourself some Durablocks, with a roll of appropriate sticking P40-180 grades. I assure you it will speed up your bodywork immediately. I use the indasa paper for my durablocks, its awesome and cheap from the "Sandpaper Man" (google him). I'd also add that using better quality abrasives will also assist you. Something like 3M purple clean sanding paper or disks will improve upon this even more. A better quality filler will also assist mate, as will be easier sanding. I 100% recommend 3M Platinum Plus and to be honest is only about $10 dearer than the 4CR stuff, but is way better sanding, lower pinholes etc. Hope this helps mate.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I have a Durablock, I just ran out of paper for it. I am getting there though.

[@sammm700]

blimey Jeff hope you get the bodywork done before it drives you insane! love the wrinkle paint.

[@SmellsLikeGASOLINE]

Please do something about the songs you chose for your videos. Previous one were more enjoyable ^^

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Music for these is the bane of my existence. No matter what I use, someone hates it, so I am now trying to use the least offensive stuff (bland) I can.

[@carstenw623]

Nah mate, stick to your guns and just use your own taste. I cannot imagine what kind of person would leave because of that.

[@CliffordBustria]

Home Built by Jeff Hoorah. The scarf is nice.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Great work as always Jeff!! Tiger.

[@testingtimes7924]

Nice tip using the screws for masking.

[@robp9124]

Good stuff Jeff. I was literally going to ask this weekend, via the viczcar forum , if anyone had used the wrinkle paint ... Lol. Definitely going to give it a go now :)

[@williamfreret6859]

Jeff, why not sand blasting the oil sump + rockers cover...? Quicker to do + no more rust nor corrosion + you benefit from better paint adhesion.Try it and you'll love it 😉 Moreover you already have a sand blasting cabinet... 🙄

[@Boosted26L]

Stick with it mate. Its looking good.. if your not 100% happy with the filler you can always spay on a polyester to level the surface, fill those small imperfections, and pinholes

[@cannednolan8194]

You should look at dura blocks to help with the sanding.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I have one, but I ran out of paper for it ;)

[@waltercrawford463]

Hey Jeff not to knock what you are doing but when you keep going over the same spots with fiberglass filler and keep sanding it the same way you are going to get the same results, meaning high and low spots. when doing a guide coat you need to sand in a cross hatch pattern to level out your uneven panels try sanding in a X manner you will have a much more even outcome. I enjoy your video's keep up the good work.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I am sanding in an X pattern, I have just kept sanding too far making high spots I am not happy with ;)

[@kerryclark1926]

Looks good. Nice job.

[@mindsynthetic6681]

best way to get more wrinkles is to apply heat between each coat. it will come out almost velvet like and looks great and far more professional.

[@JethroBronner]

I want to do this with my Sprint cam cover. On a side note, I see you rock AirPods too, aren't they just the best for working on cars? no more cables to get caught in drills or angle grinders!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

The wrinkle paint is so easy to use. I amy do another coat and hit is with a heat gun to get it wrinklier. As for the AirPods, that is what made me finally get them. A week or so ago I got the cord of my others wrapped in a grinder. I am amazed at how good the AirPods are.

[@mikl911]

All my paint looks like wrinkle paint!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, been there more than I would like.

[@lesdmark]

Jeff, I think the 300zx was not until 84 and the modified Bob Sharp Z car with the v8 was a 280zx. Music is still working well! :)

[@lesdmark]

I found the article with that car in the picture and that is a 300zx in the picture. The article has the picture in the wrong place. Lazy article writing is lazy. I knew it was not Mrs. Jeff's fault. :)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I think you are correct. I thought I wrote down 280zx, but I probably stuffed it up. I am happy to blame Mrs Jeff though ;)

[@danandyong6653]

Aluminum usually needs aluminum etch wash/ and aluminum primer. Paint otherwise doesn't like to adhere well in time

[@jamespull12]

Body filler simulator with Jeff 2018

[@wahpanda1520]

its the land of never ending coolness =D

[@SpawnyWhippet]

Looking a bit frazzled with the bodywork, hang on in there Jeff!

[@carlharvey7098]

First time ive seen you wearing AirPods! haha - Great video as always

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Just got them after getting the cord of my last ones wrapped in a grinder a week ago, I thought it would be safer ;)

[@carlharvey7098]

Makes more sense! I got some a few months ago and quite like them

[@computiNATEor]

I found the AirPods somewhat likely to fall out of my ears, and I secured them with a set of "EarBuddyz 2.0." Took the AirPods from comfortably to downright cozy.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

They look good, but do you have to take them on and off every time you charge them? They have fallen out a couple of times when I take off my jumper or my ear muffs. I don't want to break them by dropping them on the floor too many times.

[@computiNATEor]

Yeah, you must take them off to put the AirPods back in the case, and they do get a little loose over time. There are two sets of them in each package, so if you lose one it's not a huge deal. They do provide a tiny bit of impact resistance if they do fall out of your ear.

[@gsmecanica]

Vamos vamos que terminamos!!! jAJAja keep going!

[@chrispainter3590]

time to get a powder coating gun and an old oven they are only a few hundred dollars and it is easier and less messy than cleaning spay guns etc they also make wrinkle finish powders as well

[@robertkuhnke6156]

I had a 78' 280Z back in the early eighties. It was white in color with tan interior. Why is it when I pull up a video of somebody fixing up a 280Z it always is white. Like my old Z is haunting me..

[@steveveness3829]

Gday Jeff looks like a guide coat is way closer than you realize. Z cars have that body shape that requires it to be purrrrrfffect. Sorry mrs Jeff couldn't help it.😄

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

:D

[@musclecarczarig4003]

If you use that wrinkle paint again use a heat gun or set it out in the sun, it seems to need heat. You can even put the part(s) in the oven...but Mrs Jeff may not be too happy that!

[@ActionM]

Nice!!!

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

MMMM de-greaser vapor... mmm I wonder how atomized break cleaner smells? Best (or worst) thing you'll ever smell again... :/ Valve cover is awesome. Specially a straight like that, such a nice finishing touch to put on. Killer vid as always, just, bloody hell mate, put a mask on when spraying corrosives around ay? That stuff really ain't fun to have blow in yer eyes either. Like to see a few more vids from ya. ;)

[@tym7883]

Looks great! What grit sandpaper did you use to polish up the Nissan OHC before paint? I definitely need to do this to my 280ZX

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It has a bunch of pits in it, so I started with 240, but I found I really needed to hit it with 120 first and then went back to 240.

[@tym7883]

Thanks Jeff! Greatly appreciated

[@soranrix]

like the ear rings,did you forget to dress down after yesterday??? and porsche update pretty please as always keep up the good work Regards sören

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Watch the livestream tomorrow 10am Sydney time.

[@saminavy7124]

Hi Jeff! Whats your day job?

[@erikleenheer6623]

Cloud Jordan Jeff is a firefighter.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Like Erik said.

[@saminavy7124]

Thanks guys!

[@silvermane9370]

Fun fact with not Mrs Jeff: instead of squandering eight bucks on an empty bottle why not rummage under the kitchen sink to see which domestic cleaner comes in a trigger pack with an adjustable nozzle. Thus it is free and you can buy a retro 'feu orange' for one of your mighty steeds.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

When you are doing a whole car, you will get a sore finger from pumping the trigger ;)

[@robwhite240z]

If you don't want paint to stick to ' NISSAN OHC' Polish first and wipe with a bar of soap Spray the whole car with High Fill Primer and a black guide coat, and block back Mrs Jeff needs to be warmed up

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

The soap thing is a good idea. High fill is the next step, I just have to get the body right first.

[@coolhardware65]

tap in the high spots with the body hammer add more filler and ur done tap not hammer the crap out of them.

[@jameswalsh1690]

Why does the body work on the Nissan seem to take so much effort compared to the 911? Thinner steel or just the condition of the cars? The Porsche didn't seem to need half as much body filler and tinkering to get right!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Because the 911 was cleaner to start with, and half of the panels were new and straight to begin with. Just the doors and the roof really on the 911.

[@jameswalsh1690]

Home Built By Jeff I admire your drive to get it so right, many wouldn't! You're also slowly guilting me into buying less new bits for my resto!:) Keep up the great work.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, I am starting to think I should buy more new bits ;) That said, if I can revive an old panel for one more go around the block, then why not.

[@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

Bit nippy in the antipodes right now mate

[@carstenw623]

The "Nissan - OHC" looks really good, but I was surprised that you didn't also shine the two long lines above and below the letters. Did you consider and reject that idea? Similar to this: img01-olxpl.akamaized.net/img-olxpl/689926685_1_644x461_kompletny-swap-silnik-m50-m50b20-vanos-150km-bmw-e36-e46-e30-e34-sandomierz.jpg

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I think I will go back and do them too.

[@xanderworrell7782]

did someone already mention that these old headgasket are made of asbestos? Maybe next time wear some PPE's.

[@SunMysore]

haha Jeff you look ridiculous with those airpods...what was apple thinking??

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Yep, they do look stupid, but I got the chord of my old earphones wrapped around a grinder last week so these are much safer ;)

[@SunMysore]

Ouch, I know how it feels, I had a pair of earphones strangle my neck once it got caught on the grinder as well. Functionality over form!

[@2litrepeter.]

Heaps better than the cords. I'll strangle myself in my sleep one day. Hopefully they develop some that look less like you're wearing ladies hoop earrings.

[@erikleenheer6623]

Those AirPods............ 😂 Beter stop with the bodywork, let the pro’s take care of it. Cost you so much time. Have you chosen a color allready? Keep up the good work. 👍🏼

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Have you watched my videos? When have I let pros do any of it ;)

[@erikleenheer6623]

Home Built By Jeff I have seen all your video’s. I know that you do it all by your self. Respect. But it seems that the bodywork on the Datsun is such a struggle.

[@suchoi61]

911 ??????

[@trapjohnson]

Upgrade your phone recently? Or finally bit the bullet on airpods ;)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Bit the bullet after wrapping the previous head phone cords in the angle grinder last week ;)

[@trapjohnson]

I lost two pair in a month to a shelving unit at work pulling it out of my pocket and "Degloving" it. My other pair in that month got cruched in the car door.
