Replacing A Civic Quarter Panel!

[@hnmcclain]

Dude, been building cars for YEARS but never any REAL bodywork. This was so educational. You confirmed a lot of what I thought. So kool, bro.

[@uberkyla]

This is so fascinating! I'm planning on restoring my car and replacing my quarter pannels. This is very fascinating!

Wow, I had no idea you could do this. This is very impressive! I wish I could quit my white collar job and do this for a living.

You should, techs are desperately needed right now. If you really want to do it, you could be very successful at it

i was wondering about the backing plate and then... you just saved me from burning through the metal lol

[@evansron01]

This was an amazing video!! Well done!!

[@dannyr333]

Very meticulous and skilled work my bro. Keep it up.

[@zoslond]

What are those instructions you have printed out at 4:00? Are those available for DIY-ers? Also, is that weld through primer you use at 5:42? And at 7:50, what is the stuff you put on and what’s the purpose?

[@ivanelgordov9099]

They are specification insurance prints out so you will cut and weld where they want you to

[@adamfronczak8157]

Looks like you’ve done this many times. Nice job, I’ll have to get a spot welder leaves it cleaner looking ,currently mig welding everything myself but it’s more time consuming

[@marcorosales2504]

What’s the name of the machine you use and how much cost ?

[@lukecico5155]

That is fascinating. Lot of work.

[@tanker242]

Is there another way or a different tool people could use in a home garage to do those pinch welds you did at the end with that press/weld tool? My brother and I will be doing this to a 6th gen civic sedan quarter panel.

[@chriscals2518]

Mig weld.. punch tool and plug weld it if you don’t have a spot welder

[@Brulserz]

Great video. Why do you put those backer plates? And can i ask u why when i line up the panel and weld it to the rocker the weld itself closes the gap slightly between the door and the quarter panel. Thank you in advance.

[@Senkino5o]

Very good work, I was expecting a lot of filler and approximations but thats put together almost the same as how it started. I suppose most gaps don't line up perfect the first time though?

[@Oofsmageroo]

Im sure mine wont look anywhere near as good as kyles. But thankful for this video 😅

[@steveguest8028]

Great video 👍, how is the quarter panel attached to the inner wheel house ?

[@dianeruiz0721]

Perfect 👍 fit like a glove!! Just subbed 🥰 thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You make it look so easy. ❤from Diane in Fl

[@ivanelgordov9099]

Hey man what setting do you usually use for the metal on cars on your welder?

[@truenorthfan7876]

What about adhesive around the wheelhouse flange?

[@steveguest8028]

I was wondering about this too

[@jamesledesma]

I have a 1988 acura integra coupe and im in need to replace the passenger side. What should i expect to pay for something like this in the central valley California area?

[@arooqi]

How much approximately does it cost to replace quarter panel on a car (labor only)?

[@minionstoys7615]

The tool at 4:37, what is the name of it?

[@larryreno8293]

It’s a long reach pneumatic cut off tool. Harbor freight, my guy.

[@hjkjhbjhg]

how much would this cost at a shop roughly? Thanks!

[@jhenson5168]

We just did this to a 2019 Honda Odyssey. Granted the sliding door had to be replaced and fitted as well, but the repair was roughly $8200 so for this older civic, no door damage. Probably closer to $3800-$4400 depending on the availability of that paint

[@hjkjhbjhg]

[@Theferg1]

Great video and info bro!! What type of 3M primer were you using to spray the back of the quarter panel? Thanks bro.

[@dd___dc]

Dam diz haz 2 be da hardest job. Mostly all da other panel just swap out

[@ajaxrodriguez8956]

Serious question. Is there a reason you didn’t prep it ready to weld before you removed the deck lid and tail lamp? You had all the gaps correct and ready to go.

[@mvick07hoppus44]

Gotta make sure everything's lined up correctly before adding the caulking, incase you gotta remove it and adjust. Cleaner job

[@KDD8]

5:25 what spray are you using there kyle?

On average, how much would a project like this cost? i have a passenger quarter panel that suffers from a nasty dent, so spot welding a whole new panel will be the only way to go.

[@kelvinperfilcortes6674]

What tool did you use to get rid of the welding points before you took it off ?

[@gregbernard4466]

He uses a "band file belt grinder" which is like a belt sander but just a little narrow belt that sticks out. There are also drill bits sold at harbor freight to drill these out. They might have been rivets instead of spot welds though I am not sure.
