👍👍. to the added welding to the body gap. Turned out perfect. Realistic solutions to problems.

[@BLOKgarage]

Wish I would have thought of it for the other side!

[@curtisk6419]

Between you and automotive mindset I’ve gotten all of the information that I don’t know I need to do this on a realistic level, love your videos and making them comprehensible

[@BLOKgarage]

His videos are amazing!

[@ronnygouveia7200]

Great info and video. You're giving the confidence and knowledge to tackle my rust spots. Keep up the good work brother.

[@BLOKgarage]

Glad to help!

[@datsumaniac5104]

Great job! I finally broke down and got a rotiserie from FB Marketplace. I'm getting too old to be working upside-down on my 510. The Z is next. I learn something from you every time.

[@BLOKgarage]

Rotisserie is a serious game changer!

[@jayinmi3706]

That definitely went better. Nice job!

[@BLOKgarage]

I think so too!

[@jonathankoros]

Great content as usual. Love the work you're doing, and being a novice myself digging through sheet metal on a 69 mustang, I appreciate seeing all the headaches you find and lessons learned. You should reach out to the company who's making the skin and offer to do a review/fitment video for then

[@BLOKgarage]

That's actually not a bad idea

[@jerryboyd7238]

I guess I’ll take second

[@NissanZSmith]

I’ll be doing this soon! Love to see it!

[@BLOKgarage]

Good luck!

[@MarkPrydderch240zNorthWales]

Real progress Bryan, be interesting to see how much the steel roof panel costs.. you’ll soon be on the mechanicals which I’m really looking forward to 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@BLOKgarage]

More info on the roof next video. 🙂 I can't wait to start on anything that's not rust/sheet metal!

[@T3glider]

When adjusting panel gaps, you can make a cut close to the edge and shift the edge over, then weld up the cut, rather than adding a bead to the edge.

[@BLOKgarage]

Would that be easier?

[@T3glider]

@@BLOKgarage Depends on how much you had to shift the edge. If it is too wide, then no. Something else to try then is the old trick of welding a coat hanger wire on the edge. It would fill faster and put less heat in the panel than the several passes you made.

[@BLOKgarage]

Ooo that coat hanger technique sounds good. I'm getting to the end of rust so with any luck I won't have to do anything else like this!

[@PieterKuijk]

Wow, that went smooth. Well done sir! I wouldn't touch the weld seams too much in the inside. A coat of epoxy primer is enough in my opinion, the seam sealer would be satisfying though.

[@BLOKgarage]

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing

[@moosecouture1]

I have seen welding welding-rod on to the edge of a great way to keep a good panel gap with a clean edge

[@BLOKgarage]

Interesting

[@T3glider]

Should not cut and weld on a body line. If you went an inch or more below the line, you can hammer and dolly it and you wouldn’t have to grind and shape the body line or use a bunch of filler.

[@BLOKgarage]

Hmm in my head putting it on the body line would be easier because I don't have to pound it back out (potentially). But I'm definitely learning so appreciate any tips!

[@AW_DIY_garage]

Use seam sealer on the back side and move on!

[@BLOKgarage]

I like the sound of that

[@NissanZSmith]

Which company is bringing out the roof skin?

[@BLOKgarage]

Resurrected Classics

[@NissanZSmith]

@@BLOKgarage thank you sir

[@seansoutherland1941]

First comment. 😂 haha. Childish I know.

[@calais51]

Do yourself a favour…. Ear protection!
