Oh my word, the criticisms! Look, what this guy is doing is helping out those of us who drive our vehicles into the ground. Along the way, they get battered and sometimes rusty. Do you take an 8 year old car with perhaps 8 more years of life to a professional body shop and pay $1000's for show quality repairs of a beater or do you just want the daily driver to look decent until the day it throws a rod out the oil pan? If the latter, do what this guy is showing and get it done while not making a body shop rich. Stop criticizing the repairs this guy is demonstrating just because they won't win concours auto shows. That's totally not what he's demonstrating. These are decent economical repairs for what they're intended for people who are going to DIY.

If you are so piss poor that you can't afford to weld it properly, just keep in mind that you drive one winter and the road salt will eat away the metal under the patch and the patch will just fall off. If you are poor, you can't afford doing this repair. These kind of repairs are only done if you want to sell the car quick.

Relax, 4banger. What if you don't drive in an area with road salt? The patch will likely last the rest of the life of the car if the existing rust is removed or neutralized. Mission accomplished. And if it lasts one more year, that's one more year with minimal investment in keeping the car decent looking. Buying any vehicle used requires careful inspection throughout, so an alert buyer will find the problem. Again, this work has its proper place. Not always, not peferred, but acceptable under certain conditions.

I wont even bother reading the negative posts, but in his defense, its not a Porsche and it did the job. Fiberglass has structural integrity and I have used this method on small repairs on a 4x4 that gets twisted and articulated off road and I haven't seen any sign of the repair coming apart. So hey, there may be a better way for those master techs and engineers with expensive tig welders or those who can afford to pay a fabricator 100/hour to make it bulletproof, but in the end this repair did its job and I'm sure will last longer than the car. So kurtscottage don't sweat the negative people. The world will never have a shortage of them. What the world needs is more people like you who go for it and make a positive difference. I used polyester resin with fiberglass, but you gave me the idea of short strand with fiberglass and it looks a heck of a lot easier and quicker. Thank you

Cosmetically it looks better but it decieves people into thinking the car is structurally sound which it is most certainly not. Half ass repairs of cars will equal death real quick. And anyone who would cover a point like this where children are more likely to be sitting next to the shit repair is a great big giant asshole.

Very clever use of wax paper for shaping. This method also helps to minimize the amount of sanding. For better dust control in the finishing process, I would certainly encourage the use of more hand tools like files and sanding blocks. This is obviously not the method for restoring a classic car but for your every day beater with only a few more years of life left in it, it's quite adequate.

Where you guys go wrong is disregarding that it's not worth putting $1000 work into a $3000 car. If I am going to drop $1000 I'm looking at my brakes, bearings, suspension and tires long before I'm looking at the body work. I'll take a hack there any day to save a grand.

When I was in the automotive business back in the early 1970's we called people who did work like this "paper hangers". Whether right or wrong, methods like this were used to makes rust buckets look better cosmetically prior to selling them off to unsuspecting buyers. The problem with these patch repairs is within a short period of time, sometimes as little as three months, the paint will invariably start to lift. This is because auto body fillers are in fact porous and water will get in from behind and start to lift the finish. The only type of body filler that will last for any length of time under these circumstances is lead and there are not many out there anymore who know how to apply it properly or would spend the money as it is rather expensive. So here is a little tip for you. If you are looking at a vehicle, take a small magnet with you. (a reasonably strong fridge magnet will do) Place the magnet on areas where rust blisters are known to be a problem. If it sticks, chances are reasonably good that the car is not corroded out or if it was rusted, the repair was done properly. If it doesn't, walk away and save yourself some grief. I remember looking at one car, a 1972 Dodge Charger, and found that neither rocker panel would hold a magnet. When I looked under the car, there was a row of metal screws running along the inside of each rocker that were obviously not factory installed. I called a friend of mine who was a body man and he told me that the rockers were probably totally gone and that what they had done was installed a wooden 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 and held it in place with the screws. They then used a body grinder to grind it to rough shape, covered it with bondo and paint, and voila: new rockers for about 1/4 the cost of replacement.........

+Norman May Paper hangers - never heard that one. I did body work back in the 70s too and got many years out of some repairs like this. I agree that any repair done this way with common Bondo-type fillers would bubble up fast. Critical to me was that the filler said "waterproof" on the can. If I remember correctly, "Tiger Hair" was such a fiberglass bondo-type filler. Another that was only around for a short time was "Satin Seven," which was not stranded and could be used for top-coating too. Finish by taking the body Shutz gun ans applying undercoating to the back side of the repair. I like your Dodge Charger comment! My last new vehicle purchase was 1986. I like to see the underside of any vehicle I am interested in. Apparently most folks don't, based on the strange looks and hard time I typically get when I ask. All vehicles are six sided but dealers really don't want customers looking at side number six for any reason.
@oh8wingman
@oh8wingman 9 жыл бұрын
The reason they called them paper hangers was the fact on rusted out areas they were know to actually use paper mache and window screen to fill in the voids. When this mess was dry, they then laid strips of newspaper with wallpaper paste over that. Next can the coat of filler. Bondo is expensive don't you know.....LOL
@sonofmaniam
@sonofmaniam 9 жыл бұрын
The type of material shown in this video is not porous. It is not even really a "filler" in that it is not designed to fill small imperfections in an otherwise flat surface. It is designed to craft entirely new shapes and structures, where none exist or to cover large holes and gaps (with proper backing to support). It bonds to just about anything, and is incredibly strong once cured. I recently repaired some sheet metal with it, and it was stronger than the metal when I was done. (These metal vs. plastic discussions regarding DIY body work remind me of talking about PEX on plumbing websites. It immediately brings all of the copper pipe old-timers out of the woodwork talking about "the only way to do this and that correctly is..." meanwhile I built my shower by myself, for a fraction of the cost, it looked professionally installed, and never leaked a drop.).
@sonofmaniam
@sonofmaniam 9 жыл бұрын
I'll also point out that metal, no matter how carefully installed will always be subject to new rust at some point. However, the material he is using in the video will never. ever. ever. ever. rust. ever. The entire remainder of the body could turn to rust dust and that little spot he fixed will still be just as it is.

You can cut and weld till the cows come home and everything else will still rust. You will get a decent looking 3 years from that repair maybe 4 if you live in the road salt world but that is all the car will give you anyways. Best of all it's cheap, simple and effective.

how about filling in that cavity with spray foam. then cut it and sand it to its shape and then add the fiber cloth and resin. let it dry and start sanding and leveing. primer and primary coat and their you have it.

contrary to what the haters say this is a solid repair and will last ,glass filler is resistant to water and slush so before someone says weld a piece of metal,think again....would be easier if you used fiber glass tape and then the fiber glass filler,but anyway good job
@mosesposes
@mosesposes 8 жыл бұрын
your right about fiberglass being resistant, however all that bare rotted metal that was covered up underneath the repair will rust even quicker causing even bigger problems. oh well, if you dont care about your vehicle this is the way to do it.

In real terms it won't matter anyways. The rest of the car will be ready to trash by the time rust starts poking through the repair. There really is no answer to a rusty car in the Rustbelt. You are just prolonging the shortly inevitable anyways so you may as well use fiberglass to get by.

An alternative for the wax paper is cellophane wrapping, the thing to keep food fresh in the fridge. Never ever sticks to your polyester or epoxy, you can shape the resin easy and cleanly, you can leave it on the piece until fully cured.

just curious, how long did the repair hold up? also, using the paper to mold it seems like a nice trick. Also also is there a use in using several layers of fiber, to make it stronger?

I haven't done body work in years and this video reminded me of the wax paper step to make the final finishing easier. Thanks. I was thinking about replacing the 2 body parts, but not worth the cost for 1 more year of use.
