Start of body repairs to this very tough HQ Holden Premier

[@melissajames5802]

You are a modern day legend! So few people these days are capable of what you do. It is a pleasure to watch you work!

[@TheRestoShed]

Thank you!

Dude you're a magician, awesome content sir keep up the good work.

[@a1962Cobra]

So good to see a true craftsman at work. And thank you for going to the trouble of restoring those concave features in the panels. It drives me nuts to see hq-wb builds without those factory contours.

[@TheRestoShed]

Thanks for the kind words

[@-MacCat-]

Great narration to go with the quality workmanship. Thanks for sharing it and I hope you get the chance to finish this car off.

[@TheRestoShed]

Thanks for watching.

[@WesW3187]

I reckon you panel beaters are amazing craftsmen. Probably because I’ve muddled my way through many times with varying success, so I know how hard it is to do a good job. Subscribed.

The best quarter repair video I’ve seen in a long time very talented Work and your using the best rust converter on the market there cool video

[@TheRestoShed]

Thanks for watching.

[@marknolen7878]

Geez you’re great at metalworking. I know it’s edited down a lot but so impressed with the speed and quality of your work

[@TheRestoShed]

Thank you. It was about a fortnight’s worth of filming put into this video. I also got incredibly sick around the time I had the drivers side dogleg cut to bits and was bed ridden for 4-5 days, so I moved a little slower after that! Lol

[@bushysadventures1845]

Awsome work, great to see someone young with the skills. The hq looks a tonne better.

Nice work Kyle, keep at it man 👍🏆

[@TheRestoShed]

Thank you.

[@Browndogdiesel]

You’ve got skills to pay the bills my bro! I am completely new to body work and just do a bit of tinkering on an old car that doesn’t matter to much if I make a mistake. But it’s great to watch a skilled man doing what he’s good at. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more videos

[@TheRestoShed]

Thanks for watching Matt.

[@JK_Kustoms]

I just brought one of those dent pullers for my kingswoods, can’t wait to use it. Thank you for the video, you have done a great job and it’s some good inspiration 👍

[@TheRestoShed]

I’ve had mine for years now, one of my best (cheap!) investments. Thanks for watching.

[@jasonhergert7573]

Fantastic work mate, I am looking forward to seeing the journey unfold. I want to do a replica GTS Monaro. One day. Great to see more Australians do more restorations on KZbin Cheers.

[@TheRestoShed]

[@paulmcleod6061]

Good job, nice to see you actually fixing the panel the hard way.

[@TheRestoShed]

[@SuperAinslee]

Bloody Fantastic to see and the standard of work youve done is Brilliant !!!!I used to see all these tradesman do this when I was a young fella Very few left Im afraid just "bog fillers" Who taught you so well ? You have a gift keep on using it 👍👍Cheers for the Vid

[@TheRestoShed]

I am self taught. I get what you mean by your bog fillers comment, it’s a product that gets abused quite regularly. A body like this will be skim coated bumper to bumper to pick up the last 5% of irregularities in the body, but the end result will be sharper and straighter than any production vehicle.

[@tezzrterry7485]

Great work. HQ's have some very subtle shapes that many people don't even notice. Ugly quarter panel created a lot of work, may have been easier to replace it?

[@TheRestoShed]

Chances are any replacement quarter panel would have needed just as much work, it would’ve been a lot more work to replace it than repair it. (for me anyway)

i owned a hq for over 20yrs. All original but with rust in doglesg front nd rear windows a bit,passenger door got blocked up with leaves so that had water in the door,now i have a rust line where the water went too. cowel drivers side and thats about it. but i can't do any work or affored to fix it. watching this video is cool

[@nathanmacready872]

Brilliant work as always Kyle. Just curious as to what paint stripper you use?? The Supercheap auto stuff is as good as water

[@TheRestoShed]

I think it was just the Diggers brand paint stripper, nothing special - just bought from the hardware store. I’ve found most paint strippers work, it’s really what you’re stripping that plays the big part in how effective it will strip.

[@1972prem]

Is the owner going to keep it a Prem? Love your work mate.

[@TheRestoShed]

Yes mate.

[@paulcohen142]

Not sure what size mig wire you use, and also not sure if you’ve ever seen or used them when you are cutting off a panel your welding back on but you can get 0.6mm cutting discs. Look and feel super sketchy but they cut really nice

[@TheRestoShed]

0.6 wire and 1mm cutting discs.

[@diamondog99]

excellent video , my suggestion would be to slow down some sections of your video and allocate more time showing how you make the patch panels , and more time showing the spot welding in real time .... .the time laps is great but maybe not all the way through .. also im an older dude and cant quite make out some of the things your say as your voice is very soft .. this is not a critique just a suggestion ... keep up the great work , i wish i had your skills ..amazing

[@TheRestoShed]

I appreciate the constructive criticism, unfortunately the Timelapse is just the easiest approach for me as far as filming goes, it’s hard enough doing both the filming and the work! KZbin does have the option of slowing the video down in the options tab. Can’t do much about the voice either 😆

[@diamondog99]

Could you give a good recommendation for your electric dent puller and shrinker? What do you use?

[@TheRestoShed]

Scroll back through some of the earlier videos, I do some metal work on another HQ door that should answer your question

[@peterkeating6302]

Hi What size tyre and rim. How much to do a mini tub like this thanks peter

[@TheRestoShed]

325/50r15. The car has had a fabricated rear clip installed by someone else.

[@peterkeating6302]

Thank for the reply

[@gazza116]

What is the disc on the grinder? Solid metal for the heating then shrinking. Im curious

[@TheRestoShed]

Shrinking disc

Hi Friend, Your vids are awesome! This is Alloyworks! We specialize in the production of automotive radiators, heat exchangers, and cooling system components. We're wondering if we could collaborate. Would you like to put our products to the test and review them on your channel?

[@clintonepps3666]

I see a issue inside the rear doors with dog leg and doors needing a tweek for the tubs a bit like rob buachamps vl pro street commodore of the 90s

[@TheRestoShed]

Only the dogleg will need modification, it’s only a 29” tall tyre after all and the car isn’t at ride height.
