I don't know how this is for people not in the field but as trained metal worker and industrial mechanic that completely switched fields it is cathartic to watch someones process that clearly has years of experience and a feel for what they are doing. There are loads of people that do good metal work but the ones that have a connection to the metal that goes beyond just numbers and measurements, that can feel what is right and what isn't are on another level and a joy to watch and work with. That body work segment scratched an itch that I didn't even realize I had. Thanks Derek!

[@ramanshah7627]

I'm a real perfectionist both on and off the job, and it's always helpful and instructive to see a great example of getting 80% there with 20% of the labor. Sometimes that's really the difference between getting something decent done and getting nothing done at all.

[@jakeglosson9261]

As a fellow perfectionist, that is more valuable than most know. HVAC installer here doing change-outs, which sometimes feels like I’m remodeling a house; it’s hard to not go the full 9 yards. Not everything has to be the Taj Mahal!

At my work, they oft repeat the mantra: don't let perfect get in the way of better. As you say, better to get something done than do nothing unless it's perfect!

[@planemaintenance3948]

I’ve made a “paint booth” out of pvc pipe and drop cloth plastic. Couple filters in one end and exhaust fans (Walmart box fans) in the other with shop lights inside the booth. Works great! You can disassemble it for storage when done.

[@todddenio3200]

I had done a similar setup about 30+ years ago only I used an old house furnace blower that I salvaged from the dump. Worked great.

[@trentdenton3876]

Derrick I just wanna say thank you! This is the only youtube channel I watch consistently with videos that average over an hour long, what you do reminds me so much of watching horsepower TV on spike every Saturday morning with my dad, thank you for all that you post and keeping hotrod alive!

[@rickmosholder4593]

I used to watch those same shows on spike as a teenager. My uncle's introduced me to the gearhead lifestyle as a young man and they were what I looked forward to every week. Most of my family was a GM only household but one uncle in particular was a mustang guy who pretty much set in motion the rest of my car obsession. As a teenager in the late 90's the 5 liter mustang was the top dog in my area. I never understood it until a friend of mine had an 85 GT that waxed all the local guys on the street. Track numbers didn't matter, it's what you could do at a stop light that set you apart.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

One thing to note on oil based paints, with proper prep, hardener, and application they can look really nice. Just know that you really can't ever coat over them again with a urethane or enamel because traditional coatings are "hotter" and will eventually eat the paint below. On a positive note, tractor paints are slightly acidic and will kill rust. They do an excellent job at preserving vehicles!

[@shawndacrawford2791]

Awsome job Derek. What a way to celebrate your grandparents. I love ❤️ how you teach the boys your way of rebuilding..

Just did a similar level of paint job with a friend's son. He brought himself his first hotrod pickup and wanted to shine'r up a little bit.let him do most of the dirty work sanding and prepping. Done up in the dusty old shop. Turned out decent enough with some single stage paint that a guy can stand back 20' and squint one eye and feel pretty good about himself. The young feller was so thrilled and proud of himself for the work he put into his pride and joy. After a couple months of nights and weekends, ended up having a great time working with him. I think he learned a lot and I ended enjoy a project again just for the sake of doing a project. Can't wait to see him cruising around town this summer!

Little tip I learned when installing patch panels is to overlay the new panel over the old and cut them both at once. This gives you a nice clean line and makes it easy to tack in place. Learned that from one of the guys on power block a few decades ago 😅

Get some aluminum duct tape - It works great for making reflectors in tail lights and turn signals reflective again. I've fixed up a bunch of lights like this. The tape isn't cheap - but a little goes a long way! It would likely make your tail lights twice as bright. For colorblind guys like me, this is a big help. I can't see red lights very well.

@@WherEmEweeD i have never tried to polish this type of paint. Dont see why you cant but i cannot say. As for mixing balance, itsall about feel. You dont want to thick or to thin. Also gun tip size matters to. This paint is thick so if you can have a spray tip 1.8 size it sprays better. But more common tips are 1.4 so just have to thin it out. Best bet is pour paint in a mix cup like half a cup of paint and start off with adding 1 inch of reducer to it with a splash of hardener mix and try spraying a test area if it sprays nice good, if it takes forever to cover then its to thick needs more reducer. If alot comes out but takes a ton of coats to cover then its to thin and needs less reducer or more paint. Best advice i can give.

Body work with basic tools?? Two words. Fitzees Fabrication. That guy is a sheet metal wizard using an angle grinder, an I-beam and a 40 year old body hammer. He, like you Derek, seem like great, salt of the earth people. Y’all make the world a better place. Keep up the amazing work. You’re more appreciated than I’m able to properly express. Cheers from Texas.
