[@ShenkeGarage]

So far it seems great. Recommended by the Gunman off KZbin.

[@Thatguy-dk8zm]

@@ShenkeGaragehaha same here that's why I got mine.

[@nathanhughes9996]

Another Great video Sam, smoothed firewall looks far better then factory so much cleaner, you won't need AC when you double insulate with car builders and put on limo tint 🙂

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Mate. I herd the car builders product is good. Would you say to lay it on roof aswell?

[@nathanhughes9996]

@@ShenkeGarage yeah mate I have used in a GQ and GU patrol build is good for the trans tunnel and I put on the roof also just to reduce heat and sound proof the cab. Made a huge difference.

[@simplesime1]

[@ShenkeGarage]

[@DrSedeka]

Great work Sam. Smoothed fire walls look great in my opinion, your car so do as you like mate. Still need a spray gun stand by the looks.

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Carl. Yeah you are right. Spray gun stand would be handy.

[@leeroy6526]

Is a heater/demister not required to get passed over the pits for rego ?!... definitely much tidier look without it! Good work so far!

[@ShenkeGarage]

Hey mate the only requirements that I know of is the windscreen requires air to be able to be blown into it. Does not matter if it's hot or cold as long as air is blown into the front windscreen. I will plumb a electric fan motor into the vent that blows into the windscreen. Thanks also Mate.

[@letsdoit9547]

Great work on the vid mate and top quality work. love all your vids. I highly recommend investing in a good spray mask. Keep up the good work ✌🏼

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Mate. Will do as a couple of guys recommended that now. Will order one this week.

Hi Sam love the videos, just a question, when you did the floors did you weld the inside as well ? I’m about to start my HZ and curious on How do they look from the inside if you didn’t cheers mate keep up the good work👏👏

[@ShenkeGarage]

Hey Mate. I only welded them from the outside as I butt Welded them in. If you leave a slight gap the weld will penetrate through the join and you are left with a slight bit of weld on the inside. You can either leave as is or grind back slightly as you dont want to make the metal too thin.

[@1Montys]

@@ShenkeGarage thanks Sam, i started mine today and stripped the same passenger side roof section, and it is twice as bad as yours, dodgy weld repairs covered with an inch of bog the whole length of the gutter, roof and inner skin. i'm a bit gutted to say the least, but still keen to give it a crack, i took lots of photos but a lot of work ahead.

[@ShenkeGarage]

@@1Montys Sorry to hear that Mate. Its a Shame that people dont repair them properly. I done the other side today the last couple of days and it was worse that the first side. I took a heap of photos of this side as the repairs were a lot more extensive than the first. If you need photos for help and reference then message me on facebook and I can send them. Also interested in how yours looks.

[@1Montys]

@@ShenkeGarage no probs, i ordered and payed for some sheeting today, pick up tomorrow i'll find you on facebook and send some photos over thanks Sam

[@1Montys]

@@ShenkeGarage how do i find you on facebook or message sam, is it the same name on facebook?

[@Kingman-Automotive]

Cut it Mate, its you're ride, i think it looks trick..I used 1.2 cold rolled, its very strong as You would know by now lol

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Mate. I Think the firewall is actually 1.2 mm anyway? As when I butt welded the 1.2 cold rolled it was flush both sides.

[@jcdragon77]

Hey man Great Work! What trade do you have?

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Mate. Diesel Mechanic by trade

[@williamduffield4964]

Love the video but must say you need to stop calling your plug welds spot welds, two different types of welds.

[@kramercuolahan6363]

Nice stuff mate. Just out of curiosity, how much was the epoxy primer? I'm debating whether to use it for my one tonner

[@ShenkeGarage]

Hey Mate unsure exactly how much as I bought a bunch of stuff. Can't find the receipt either sorry.

[@garypryke2903]

Hey Samual good work mate. For your oil holes in your epoxy primer use some upol dolphin glaze. It’s a light weight filler it is awesome for pin holes and very easy to sand. Also if you have time check out my video I posted on my Holden colardo bonnet re spray.

[@ShenkeGarage]

Thanks Mate will look at getting some of that filler.

[@jcdragon77]

Wipe in putty works good.
