Don't do anything new. If all you do is the same thing over and over, mistakes should generally be going down in your process. Sadly, restoration of old cars introduces a whole bunch of randomness, so making mistakes is just part of the adaptation/learning process. Plus, mistakes are the best teachers in the universe if you can survive them and put aside your own ego to do some hard learning from them.

For making bends and channels in panels you can use a rounded off chisel and something soft like a flat chunk of rubber matting. Can see some people using that technique on some of the Japanese body channels. You won't end up with 100 hammering knobs if you use a dolly to make the bend like the dull chisel lol. Or just use a hammer and dolly to planish the hammer knobs.

Bear in mind that the 82-87 metal bumper saloons and Baurs have a different arch profile to the factory Convertibles and 1987 onwards plastic bumper cars. The Convertible has the arch tub lower - BMW did this to give more room for the hood mechanism. The plastic bumpers cars adopted this type arch to reduce manufacturing costs. Look at the rear arch profile on a Convertible or a plastic bumper car - the distance between the arch edge and the top of the wing is about 30 mm greater.

I have the same hobby as you and fully appreciate where you are coming from. I have Nissan 300zx under restore and have fabricated sections that look IDENTICAL to the areas you aren't happy with. I can't wait to go back and redress them. For bending a small length of straight sheet in a vice I have found that two pieces of angle on either side really help so you can bend in one go. The other area of a newly found skill I'm really interested in trying is hammer forming with a mould. It takes more time but looks to be really effective at duplicating pieces of sheet metal accurately. Well worth the time. The go to for these kinds of sheet metal crafting on KZbin is Ron Covell (of course, metal god) and there is another guy I like called Make it Kustom who seems to do a great job of explaining these topics. I hope this helps :)

And I now try not to use my panel beating hammers to hit chisels - it makes getting a nice finish with the hammer and dolly later a lot easier when they aren't all marked up.

Chap, I say! I've been watching you from the very beginning for all those 5 years, and this one is the 1st one I thumbed up. Now it's more or less restoration rather than dismantling, reassembling and re-spraying. As for your questions: 1) it's called hammer forming, when you take a thick steel plate, some steel strips or bars, tack'em onto the plate, put your work piece on, and do the hammering to form all those knaps and cavities on the work piece; 2) in the previous video of this series you inquired about drill extension rods which are called just like that: drill extension rods. They're precision ground straight metal rods with ER collets on the outer end. For your application you should consider extension rods with Ф=8 or 10mm and ER11 collet. M-nut is preferred over A-nut. Oversized collets (e.g. 8mm for ER11 for your 8mm spot weld drill bits) are available. Cheers.

33:55 I know only too well what it's like to weld from beneath. Back in '96-'97 when I worked as a welder at Maersk Container Industry in Denmark, for some time I would make repairs where the welding robots would not have welded the panel to the front/back frames correctly (due to dirt in the liner, dirt on the laser tracking lens protection, gaps, etc.). Welding thin sheet metal to much thicker rails can be quite challenging, in particular when you're using 1mm stainless wire from beneath. Spray and even blobs would drip down and burn holes in the cap on the fresh air mask, through the velcro holding the sleeves to the welding jacket, etc. After a while, I would start using duct tape where I knew from experience that they would burn through. But not before I had a big blob burn through the mask right beneath the visor, letting it trickle down my chin. For years aftter that, my beard wouldn't grow in that spot.

I've run into so many issues with parts over the years where even the manufacturer showed "in stock", until you actually make an order. I didn't order a bumper on my current project for 3 years during the restore because Audi always showed it in stock, and I hadn't seen any forum posts where people were saying they had issues sourcing one. Then I placed the order when I was finally ready, and it was the order that updated every seller on the internet to "no longer available". Sad to say that has happened multiple times to me on various parts over the last 10 years.

I know one of the things Fitzee does as well is he leaves his patches slightly larger than they need to be and cuts them to fit the hole on the car. I notice some of your gaps are quite large when you fit your patches meaning you have to chase the gap closed. I used to do the same until I found Fitzee. It might be worth waiting until you've tried to fit the patch before you cut it to the same size as the old one. Meaning the patch will fit the hole better. If that makes sense....😅 On a separate note. The car is coming along well. A labour of love. It will be mint when it's done.

When processing offcuts like this, cut the unwanted panel right next to the flange with a sheet metal cutter (the V type) in an air hammer, then use an angle grinder with a hard stone to remove the flange. It's the fastest way to go. The faster you grind, the better. Since it's so narrow, it will get hot and expand away from the target panel so it's obvious where the spot welds are and when you're about to cut through.
@TUBEYOUTHETUBE Жыл бұрын
Those paint stripping (SVS) disks are also much better in rust removal than grinding the rust down or removing it with a wirebrush. The paint stripping disc wears down so fast because it is made of softer material than the metal. This way it removes everything on the metal without abrasion of the healthy material, which gives you a thicker panel to weld to in the end. Also when removing the rust, it does not "smear" healthy material over some leftover rust, which is often the case with grinding discs and leads to new rust from under the paint in the end. Same goes for the wire wheel: it just "polishes" the rust and doesnt remove it completely.

When making depressed profiles in repair sections, it helps if you define the edges first by laying the panel on some thick quite firm rubber mat and chasing along the edges of the depressed are with a wide blunted bolster chisel or panel splitter. You can then move on to using the open vice jaws as you have done. Hope this is constructive and helpful. Regards.

Hey buddy, great work so far! As I am building an e30 m3 touring currently I am pretty aware of what tools you need. And you should definitely get a compressed air spot weld drill, saves tons of time compared to grinding them off. Also for flattening your welds, you should get a compressed air angle grinder, since this takes so much less time compared to this finger grinder, and also you get a better result since its got a bigger surface, and on top of that its much smaller than then normal angle grinder, so you can work much more filigree, and have less pain in your hands (due to less wait compared to normal angle grinder). Trust me, add those two tools, you be much faster, better, less painfull. 🙂

Don't do a mistake with cooling the welds off with the blow gun. It makes the welds brittle. Just a reminder...I don't know how much time you are giving them to cool off by themselfs, because it's editted.

You can tell you've done millions of tack welds. They're looking really good now.
