Repairing a rusted fender on a 67/68 Mustang. Jade part 26

The lower rear portion of the fenders seem to have rust issues. If the rest of your fender is solid, this is a way to save it.

I love your videos. I've learned so much that I've been able to directly apply to my own projects. I really appreciate all the effort you take to put this content out. Thank you!

[@porthose2002]

You always do such a nice job. Thanks so much for taking time to record and share your work!

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic repair. Barry your videos on body repair are the best illustrated on KZbin. Keep them coming.

[@mikeshepard3602]

My favorite new channel. Excellent work, great at explaining each step of what you are doing. Keep up the good vids!!

[@walther9161]

As always an awesome how-to video Barry!!! Please keep making them !! I couldn’t have done my car without your advice and these videos!!!

[@michaelschubel6330]

Excellent presentation! It clears up a lot of the ‘it is obvious to the casual observer’ parts of this kind of repair.. it shows there is hope while trying to use aftermarket patch panels ...thanks!

[@joethemustangman]

Another great video, I have two front fenders that were given to me because of that same rot spot , I was planning on repairing them . It's good to know that they make a patch panel. Thanks for the detailed video, looking forward to the next one.

[@jwright650]

Good stuff, I really enjoyed seeing how this work is done. I have not been around when this type of body work was being done, so it's helpful hearing your thoughts and seeing how this work goes from marking the cut line to final finishing at the welding stage. Looking forward to see what you do next to this fender.

[@nicewoodguy]

Thank you. You're an incredible and generous teacher. I'm inspired to give it a try.

[@glennwilbur2546]

I enjoy the timely real world commentary and subtle nuances you describe where patch panels will be close but require lots of TLC to massage toachieve near original shape .Keep up the great work !

[@barblemons5397]

Another job well done Thank You very much once again your videos are better than anything on TV.

[@eugenehovjacky803]

Thanks for sharing your skill with others. Gives me confidence to tackle some projects I may have been a bit scared of. Thanks again !

[@canadianmarauder1923]

I’m doing some rust repair on my project and it’s definitely helped me out watching this video.

[@peterkohm9742]

Thanks for taking the time and making such a great video. Your skill level is amazing .And I like the fact you are willing to share your knowledge .

[@danlepore4155]

Your videos are the best. You have helped tremendously with my 1950 Ford F1 front fenders and this video is fantastic. Keep up the great work.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks!

[@RickRose]

New subscriber. I've got a '68 convertible I'm getting ready to start on. You've got a great teaching style--Thanks for sharing!

[@acwren3749]

Thorough presentation. You give me more confidence that I can tackle a similar job myself on my 66 mustang. I have a rust spot similar to the one you repaired on your mustang. Thanks too for the videos on the floor pans. Glad to see that a 140 MIG welder is sufficient for panel work.

[@bronconv]

Thanks for sharing this, there’s a lot to learn from it. Looking forward to part 2!

[@danielmarek4609]

Interesting watching you repair that fender. Back in the 80's before the internet I had a project 69 and attempted a long weld with partial panels. Only wish I knew now how to better control heat by welding much shorter welds and more of them. Good job on the repair. The current 69 I bought has almost no uni-body rust. The bolt on panels are another issue. Some have dents some have rust bubbling do to the previous owner leaving it out side the last 15 years and water getting into the doors and trunk lid. I like watching your videos for some time and helped get my thinking of another project which now is awaiting my attention. That coupe is really starting to look good, very solid.

[@3xzena]

Love all your videos but especially the fabrication videos. Another great one! Looking for part 2 already!

[@harveymushman8209]

I'm glad to see orig Ford panels being saved. I think the more off shore panels used on a car the less of an orig classic it becomes. Great video Barry . Nice to see Jade again being finished.

[@JAVIERHERNANDEZ-bw7bz]

That came out really nice now I know I can save my fenders thanks for the great detailed video.

[@ethanmilgram2327]

Hi Barry, I totally agree with you on the Spectra parts. They give you extra metal for free on just about every part! Great job and keep the videos coming! Gary

[@danjohnson6292]

I'm getting ready to start the sheet metal on a 1965 VW. I have the place the front clip so this was very insightful. Thank you.

[@chuckwagon1892]

Great job and you pointed out "not to rush" allowing time for the mental to cool - as well - measuring cutting and fitting the panel. I tend to rush and get myself in trouble. So, checking and measuring carefully can save you a lot of time and frustration and fixing mistakes. Very nice video...thanks!👍

[@tjberube06]

Glad to see Jade again. I agree that saving the original fender was the right option. There is a lot of work fixing gaps on new metal. I've just finished gaping my 68 gt fastback ,it was a lot of work even with all new metal.

[@MrBenescarment]

wow! very great demonstration tips on welding. I watched it to the end. I have a 1972 chevy impala and planning on getting my first weld machine

[@jimmyp2108]

Great example of good metal work. Great Job, on being a perfectionist! Might want to add a little that some of the viewers may not have noticed. When you were folding the metal over, using the hammer a dolly, you did not stretch the metal. You can tell when you are stretching it as you will hear a 'ting' where the hammer is hitting the metal solid on the dolly. When you do that you will create ripples that will be harder to get perfect. You want to use the dolly as a backing to bend (or straighten) the metal, not stretch it. This method can be used to take dents out as you might want to stretch to get the right contour, and keep the dent out.

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

Barry spot on as always your videos r great and shows how to do it right thumbs up.

[@raide707]

edge to edge is the way to go to weld it , if u over lap keep it to a your over lap to a minimum , the rust will get between the over lap and and swell out the metal , it will show in the body work in the future where u made the repair . edge to edge is the way to go un least u can get at the back of the over lap and seal it to off to prevent it from rusting!!! nice job by the way .keep up the good work

[@recon66661]

Very cool you make it look so easy thanks for sharing your videos with us love that car!

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice. I like the way the patch turned out.

[@robertrudeseal4200]

Love watching your videos, some of the best and I might add cleanest how to videos available on the market. Thanks a lot for the valuable information.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks! Always clean. No value added with garbage.

[@weechitamex]

Jo Daddy's Garage : AWESOME VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT SKILLS SIR .

[@scottoosterholf9365]

Thanks for a great video and bringing us through your thought process.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I found you by accident but have subbed by choice. I like your style of presentation.

[@chipjohnson5552]

Glad to see Jade getting some love.

[@p90x1011]

Awesome detail on explaining the process.

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

Great stuff. Thank you for the effort. This helps me with my Wagoneer project.

[@fastshelby5226]

Definitely a TWO THUMBS UP VIDEO! I watch all of you videos, and do the work myself on all my projects!!

[@RJ-ds6zo]

Thank you for another quality video with high quality work! Nice!

[@dudeparistx]

GREAT instruction and explanation. apply this to any fender job. awesome!!

[@earlsmithson4749]

Thank you for your time to make this vid.

[@cecil6711]

Great work on the patch. I like the Jade videos as mine is a 67. :-)

[@ftby59mikeD]

Masterful metal work!..patience being the key. Those relief cuts on the edge made rolling it look easy, then again Barry makes it all look easy! 1st time seeing him w/o his hat too, bald as the rest of us!..must come from stressing auto repairs..lol

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks. I've had my hat off before, but not often. Hair is nice and thick...in the back. Not so much on top. I just buzz it off once a week.

[@glenpetit6960]

Great intuitive video - one recommendation on the stitch welds - try to go from end panel to end panel so that the stitch welds have a chance to cool without doing them so close to each other - meaning stitch weld alternating at each end of the panel ending in the center of the panel- just eliminates any chance of the panel from getting real hot and like you said a further chance to warp

[@tonitavares-jakubec6179]

Thanks Barry. Just eagerly waiting for my Joe Daddy T-shirt that I ordered to arrive. A reminder to fellow patrons, that watching the commercials in full helps to support this channel. (Northern Mitch)

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks. KZbin has been pushing for non skippable ads on my videos. I'm trying to avoid that.

[@bacdesilva]

Amazing workmanship. Details matter !

[@bobbyoz8251]

excellent job, i really enjoy watching you videos.

[@noslenac]

Great video! Thanks for the explanations. I have some body work I'd like to do on one of my projects (not a Mustang) and am looking forward to learning some new skills.

[@mnwoodshop3877]

Once again as I said before your knowledge in body repair is amazing.Thanks for sharing another great video.I should use my leaf blower in my wood shop.lol.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I found it useful. I did a little review on my Jo Daddy's Workshop channel.

[@ElrodsGarage]

Good job. Thanks for the video. I’ve got to get some garage time soon. Cheers!

[@tiredowalkin]

My project 67 came with a 68 fender that has a patch welded inside to "convert it to a 67. I think I will keep it, maybe fix the patch a little better and just keep it because they ruined the lip for the marker light. The other original fender needs serious work as you show but I'd like to save it too. Great video!

[@brandongainey6744]

Impressed with the skill also like the don't over cut part is a fact :)

[@jimfowler9143]

BARRY..watched for the second time. Please keep producing...excellent thankyou!

[@p90x1011]

Did mine today. Turned out great.

[@LandofNonecom]

The rust pattern on the patch panel looks like a rock monster.

[@p90x1011]

I’ll be doing one on my GTX. Maybe even tomorrow. Great video.

[@stubby4317]

Doing similar repairs on a 65. You shared some good tips. I've been butting the panels and hammer welding with a tig, but using the mig on all the supporting structure. Now I need to figure out how to find the previous videos!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

They’re all in the playlist.

[@user-sk5cv7hj2m]

Nice repair man! I always freak out about patches moving around so I bolt it to the cowl and core support before finish welding. Then I do my braces. But that’s just me.

[@angelozapp]

Looks great thank you for your time I learnt something new thanks

[@bigbird2100]

Great video as usual it gives a practical demonstration of good average and rubbish repair panel's, surprised about cut's on edge flange but it helps everybody to achieve.

[@TxStang]

I'm pretty much terrible at patch panels , warping is my enemy even if I just do 1 spot weld a day but I will keep trying . Keep up the great videos , I've learned a lot from you so far .

[@ezramel]

great teacher looks a lot better than what it was, as good as it can be

[@TheRaulr151]

This video is gold Sir. I will be doing this EXACT repair on my ‘67 restore project. Thanks for all the great videos. Sub’d!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thank you sir. Welcome aboard.

[@texhow1]

You do a good job & will make the car 100% before you have finished.

[@terryallsports9352]

Hey Barry, GREAT job working on these cars and sharing the content, it's super informative and I really appreciate the effort you invest. I'd LOVE to see you spend just a couple of hours a month on the Camaro - little pieces of work building up to completing a major part. Akin to what an everyday Joe like myself might achieve. It's really inspiring. Take care.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I'd like to do that as well. Unfortunately the car is sitting outside under a few tarps. The first thing it really needs is the driver's side door frame replaced. That's a BIG job. I hope to have something on it, but it will be a while.

[@robertthrem3382]

For future reference, they have a stainless steel primer you can weld right to it and then they have the red primer that’s weldable because it always rust underneath plates🎉

[@colin8532]

Awesome video, I'v really missed the Jade series

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Me too.

[@vista806]

Awesome work. Great video. Sure helps with my present project.

[@doug.patterson4732]

great job i like to watch you form the metal car is looking good

[@superc4308]

Great work sir 👍🏼

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

that looks a whole lot better ...great work..

[@aserta]

You're much more patient than i am, i would've snipped the missing section, spot welded it with a backing strip and move on with lots of acid etch primer. :)) Nice work.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I like to show the whole process so others can learn. Patience is my thing.

[@67polara]

Very informative. I will have to try it sometime.

[@alfredenisz4775]

good step by step instructions

[@UToobSteak]

Really cool, man. Nice work

[@thomasenglish1173]

Always great videos!!

[@DaveSmithmoneymagnet]

You do good metal work!

[@antoniomartinez6958]

Great job my friend!!!

[@TK42138]

Brilliant video, looking forward to watching your other vids. I'm a bit envious at the thicker steel you're working with. I'm having to fight with 0.7 to 0.9mm panels on a 1992 Rover.

[@mustanggarland24]

Awesome video dude I totally subscribed to your channel

[@titorodz4374]

Excellent work.

[@mobiusclean6440]

Nice work and very informative :)Thanks for that :)

[@taylorh3930]

No repop panels are ever great they all seem too fit like crap but they do save time are your right there a great starting point.

[@cooldog60]

I remember making many of those fenders when I worked at the stamping plant. 600 an hour.

[@Rudderify]

Great job! Thanks for the info

[@jayinmi3706]

Didn't realize you had Jade and Brooklyn Pony going at the same time. Nice improvement on that repair!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Jade has been sitting in the paint booth. I need to at least get it together so I can move it out.

[@jackleonard8660]

Thanks. Good video. Knew some but not all. Thanks again.

[@masterofnonetv8361]

Great vid! I'm about to do this to my When stitch welding like that I like to put a light on the backside so I can see if there is any pin holes.

[@markhayward2955]

Great vid man great work 🤙🏾💯

[@GregsGarage]

Massive improvement.

[@kennethtorreggiani3801]

Great instructional video. Was like taking a class

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks. These are my favorite kind of comments. Did you watch part 2?

[@Norrisnettv]

Nice work!

[@jeffbaker655]

I make all of my rust repair sections myself out of zink anneal and use a weld through primer,52 years practise thats why.

[@terrykeithley6183]

Barry thank you, thank you, thank you. Terry

[@nickvivirito4389]

Very nice job!

[@johneverson354]

I can tell that you really know your stuff

[@michaelburry8332]

FANTASTIC demonstration, videos like this where anybody can learn to do a professional job yet with everyday tools are priceless. I wish so much that this kind of information and video was around when I was growing up. ....but I do suspect that he had a helper (you can see him at 41:32) and I don't know why he doesn't get credited too. 😛

[@kennethtorreggiani3801]

Kenneth Torreggiani 12:57 PM (1 minute ago) to KZbin Not yet I plan on it. My son and I are starting a couple projects and we never did this before. Looking for advise and found your video. I may not be physical enough to do it myself but my sons are interested in helping me. So knowing what to do and guide them or others to help me will be great. Your video really inspired me to tackle it as you completely described it in detail. Hope to see more of your videos.

[@Peter_van_bjork]

Very interesting videos, very nice peace of art
