Surprises under quarter panel : Project Opel GT 1971 #24

Fixing the door lock panel and window seal lip. Exposing the GT skeleton under the quarter panel.

[@alastairwatson3201]

I watch your videos the same way each time: You reveal the rusted horror beneath the panels, I think that it’s too far gone and feel bad that you’ve put so much effort into an unsalvageable car, then you astonish me by repairing the unrepairable. It will be better than brand new. Your videography skills are first rate, too.

[@davidburne9477]

Agreed, Alastair, phenomenally good production values and I think the car will be even better given the meticulous care and craftsmanship. A joy to watch.

[@GT1900garage]

Thank you both for uplifting comment..This episode fixes were dancing on the rose petals compared to last two episode builds...Simply put : I hated them...therefore this episode was more fun to do...

[@perkulo6379]

That opening scene is worth an Oscar reward for best film! 👌

[@JustSayN2O]

[@trainmantn1928]

I’m beginning to think you have rebuilt, the whole car, where have you not found any rust? I don’t know what I’m more impressed by your craftsmanship with the car or your craftsmanship with the videos. I am in awe of your work.

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks for the comment. Yes. I think there is NOT A SINGLE panel in this car, that does not require some level of rework.

[@anthonybrand6137]

Your obvious skills in cutting out/reparing all the corroded panels on this car are matched by your cinematography skills in presenting this restoration. Thank you, it's a real pleasure to watch. 👍👍

[@GT1900garage]

Thank you for your comment. Appreciated...

[@Papa-Bogey]

The time lapse at the beginning was fun. But to watch a craftsman working with his hands and hand tools manipulating metal into perfect shapes is amazing. And you really weren’t surprised to find rust under the quarter panel, were you?

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks for the appreciation. Honestly, I think the "skeleton" was far better than expected. Only negative surprise was the vast amount of brass soldering used in the door lock panel. It basically ruined the edge.....

[@davepriddy9263]

Your attention to detail is incredible. Keep up the great work.

[@GT1900garage]

Thank you for the comment.. Appreciated.

Good sense of humour and choice of music, real heavy metal work / music. Man! You are a master of rust elimination and you must have the patience of an elephant! Waiting for the next video!

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks again! I think I have patience and pace of an elephant...

[@bobfrankish8883]

I thought about not commenting, it would seem I could only repeat what everyone else is saying, but I hear it helps the channel and algorithms so here goes. I am simply in awe of your fabrication skills, ingenuity, video production and final results, just breath-taking. I watch a lot of YT, I have a staggering 241 subscriptions nearly all car restoration related. You are the best home-garage restorer, no question. We are all very lucky to be able to go on this journey with you.

[@GT1900garage]

You're the best! Thanks Bob for the comment and boosting the algorithm. And I don't know if you have noticed, but I decided in the beginning of the project, that I comment back every comment I receive - still doing it because these comments are truly fuel to the motivation... So keep commenting...Appreciating all regulars, that have followed the whole build....

[@paulwhite7475]

No one in South Africa would even consider trying to save this car . More strength to you . Loving the videos

[@GT1900garage]

I bought the car, paid s**t load of shipping it from Germany. I had two option, ditch the project and lose the money, or finish it and have an Opel GT in the garage...so I decided to finish the car...

[@KFarski]

Talent off the scale. Dude is an artist through and through. The bit with the hand tuning the radio station and dusting off the table is the detail in content and video production that should be appreciated.

[@GT1900garage]

HAH, appreciate. I had a six second empty gap in my edit AND I needed a transition between zen mode --> speed mode. So i decided to try this trick, filmed it as a last take of the episode, 30 minutes before releasing the video..At midnight.....It kinda worked out ok

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks again for the comment George, But to be honest, I tend to agree with Garys comment below. I think it was surprisingly solid, although the brass soldering has ruined the door lock panel edge....

Something tells me these won't be good surprises! As an aside, I welded in a patch piece above the pedals where the fusebox sits in my GT today (last owner hacked it up and I was dreading the repair). Boy oh boy do I have even more respect for the work you're doing on your GT! You did not pick an easy car to fix!

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, one tend to appreciate others efforts only when they have first hand experience too.. I DID know what I was getting in to when bought a GT, and still stick to my previous testimony ; I love every minute of it...Well, actually couple of previous episodes, I truly hated the window vent fix... But still... And your GT color is still stunning..

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Wow, I've never seen anyone skin the rear panels. This series is as fascinating as it is horrifying. "Oh, so that's what's under there! ... Oh my god, there can be rust holes all the way under there?!" The guys on the Opel forums are loving this.

Thanks for the uplifting comment. I am as horrified as many of my viewers are... every new rust spot is a challenge to me...

[@yaz1691]

Such craftsmanship. The quality of your work, in the execution and outcome is outstanding. Far, far better than many of the ‘professional’ car restoration channels on YT. Even the editing, choice of background music makes your channel one of the very best. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@killerkane1957]

You continue to do a wonderful job. Isn’t it amazing how this work can be done with limited tools, creativity, and planing? I had no idea how deteriorated the car was when you started. All cars rust. Some makes and models more than others. I knew these cars were prone to rust, but you are rebuilding a lot of real estate! Awesome work. Very creative approach.

[@GT1900garage]

[@GT1900garage]

I appreciate that. Well in this episode I have a "mood swings", hence there is some peaks and valleys in the musical score. Generally working with this car is "approaching zen state", therefore the music usually is more ambient and moody. But sometimes I just like speed up videos to +500% and let it all out !!

Also I have some updates with engine and gearbox, and got some new tools to the workshop. So lot of progress, but on many different fronts...so making a good episode is bit more challenging and time consuming this time.

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks for comment bro. I am saving ALL the pieces coming out from this build, even the smallest shreds. Mainly to summarize the final count of removed metal, but also they will be visible in the later episodes, one way or another....I see that your Sonet project has a new episode out, I saved it for the late night entertainment..I had a Saab Sonet poster on my wall at the 80's, about same time I found out that Opel GT is kinda cool two seater sportscar...

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

@@GT1900garage I’m glad to see you keeping track of them all. Actually I'm kind of jealous. I plan on keeping my scraps too but I wish I had thought of tracking my hours. For a project that's going to be a big chapter of my life I wish I hadn’t just jumped in so fast. I’ve really enjoyed turning rings on my lathe recently, I think I’ll make one out of all the pieces that fall off, and some pieces of the original leather will end up as decorations on a jacket.

[@GT1900garage]

You know what sucks about this video? The fact that I can't give it more than one thumbs up. I believe this is truly your best video/production to date. The opening sequence of the tools moving and the removal and cleanup of the rear quarter panel is top notch. Kudo's for the excellent video production. Second, and not less than the first, is Kudo's on the quality work once again. I'm in awe of what you're doing and I believe as time goes on your subscribers will continue to go through the roof, not because they care about the Opel, but mainly because they are watching a true craftsman at work.

[@oliverroggenbuck7824]

Wow, that first minutes of wonderful stop-motion animations really blew me away ! Thank you for entertaining us with all these efforts. Must be very time consuming. But it´s worth it. I guess your audience very much appreciates these animations. They create a certain mood, i don´t know how to describe it. For sure it´s pure art when the tools start to move their own way. I love it. Oh, and for all the metal sheet work, you just again found the perfect score to create some emotions. As always, i must admit. Your taste of music really matches with mine. Whether it´s Jazz or Shred Metal. Had to say this. Finally if i had to name anything in this episode, that leaves a little question mark to me, then it´s this: i feel there is kind of a hard break between the first minutes of animations and the second part. Somehow i miss the bridge between those parts in terms of story telling. But never mind, just sharing my feelings when i watched this episode. Unbelievable how many hours of hard work already spent for this old GT. For sure it´s gonna be among the best of all still existing ones. Do you know any totally rust free GT ? Is there a brand new one in the Opel Museum ? This report from Auto, Motor und Sport seems to show some excellent cars from the factory museum, at least the number plate gives a hint. GG stands for Gross Gerau, the region which Rüsselsheim, the home of Opel belongs. www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/oldtimer/opel-gt-opel-commodore-gs-e-und-opel-manta-gsi-der-opel-sport-bund-der-70er/

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks Oliver for the comment. I agree with you... there should have a kind of bridge between intro and verse. But on the other hand, the mood change from "automatic" to "manual" was done by drastic change of music... I think there are some completely rust free GTs but they have no road time what so ever...I think even bringing GT outside, will start the oxidizing process....

[@oliverroggenbuck7824]

People pay top dollar for a vintage car from a dealer (or website) and have no clue this is what lurks underneath. Buyers have no idea what they're getting unless someone has pulled the quarter panels. But then again, maybe most people don't care. But you obviously do and the world is a better place for it. Your video editing skills are equally impressive.

[@GT1900garage]

Spot on. There are hundreds of GTs, that have for example rear window vents completely done with body filler... After seeing this project evolving, i would consider myself an expert on spotting hidden rust in a GT. Basically one could say that only full documentation of the restoration process will justify the price tag on the car...

You're gonna need 10 more pairs of gloves by the time this project is done! Nice progress so far!

[@GT1900garage]

HAH, Yes, those thin cotton gloves tend to work poorly with welding.. I already have 8 pcs of right hand gloves, left ones have evaporated 😂 Very well spotted...

[@gforcekaras]

@@GT1900garage I would assume leather welding gloves would be too bulky and pricey to replace. Maybe some inexpensive leather driving style gloves would better suit? Probably not as cheap or pliable as those coated work gloves.

[@GT1900garage]

Yes, fireproof cloves are way too bulky, but on the other hand; I kinda hate these dozens of burn marks on my left hand as well 😉

[@dietmarspriesterbach6]

Well done! I like that you even grind out the hammer marks of newly fabricated repair panels!

[@GT1900garage]

Thanks, of course.. they have to look good on the camera 😉

@@GT1900garage I think you have a very nice workshop, but, what I find best, is that you do not have very expensive tools. That motivates me to try more difficult work on my cars👍 as well!
