Most people are afraid to tackle projects themselves. You always learn something even if it’s I’m never going that again. I have literally saved hundreds of thousands of dollars tackling projects on my own and get a lot of satisfaction from the learning process.

[@malekodesouza7255]

I love how you masked it off…like it makes a difference. 😂

[@aquilesmasdmd]

Bro. You should either fill the drain channel or clear it. But that lip is gonna hold water and re rust that area

[@walliisch]

Imagine the guy tasked with removing that windshield, getting half the roof and them repairs in the process 🤣Love your vids keep up the good work

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks 👍

[@henrytischbein155]

This channel encouraged me to do my own gelcoat repair

[@billbeck1623]

I had same ussue with my dodge not to your extent mind you I used belzone its a industrial liquid steel works like bondo but not porous, you need to remove the front wind shield and do metal work

[@s0nnyburnett]

Belzona is some good shit but its expensive.

[@wilmarbarrick3194]

I would expect a Florida man to cover the entire roof and windshield and install a radar and periscope for navigating.

[@77RB77]

Love the videos. I've been trying to figure out how to move to the keys. Was just wondering why you moved out of the keys 🤔

[@nicholasbeets7759]

in NZ our vehicles dont get the chance to get that bad, every year we need to take them for an inspection and even surface rust around structural area will be a fail, and most times you cant fix yourself, you gotta have the fix certified

[@hookzsettv4842]

There is the right way the wrong way and the make it work way. It’s an old work truck she don’t have to look good she just need to work. Little disappointed you did not use 5200 on the windshield though 😂

[@CorpseGrinder1967]

Wheres the 8-Track Player?

[@TheRoostersGarage]

Its definitely a marine mechanic's truck! I don't think anyone else would use fiberglass repair on steel! Love it

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you!

[@MikeyDee25]

Here's a tip I learned from another guys channel - when you have a hole like that put a piece of chicken wire in the hole. Now you have a base for the filler material to adhere to in the hole.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sydneyharbourscenery1206]

Hey. Great vid. Totally take your point about getting the job done. Just the same……probably time to start thinking about a new truck. 🤔

[@williambrown238]

Should have got a extra rattle can and painted the entire roof. That surface rust can turn onto more holes faster than you would like. Not making fun... I truly understand patching something to make it functional again. I do quite a bit of patching.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Great point!

[@daha7864]

That’s a pretty in-depth repair for a Dodge… I always just used toothpaste and 🦆 tape 😂

[@BornAgainBoating]

😂😂

[@jeffcarter8160]

I haven’t even watched the video yet. I’m already laughing. Why do those size bolts always break? It could be because I own a Honda, lol😮

[@BornAgainBoating]

😄😄

[@Deadfeat]

Using a rust converter will halt the remaining rust .

[@stevemiz]

What’s that little sander attachment you used on your drill? Link?

[@rickydavis1903]

I was wondering the same thing

[@BornAgainBoating]

There are tons of different types of kits available, main thing is that you get the little pad that attaches to the drill or the polisher than you can sway out the different types of pads based on grit and application: amzn.to/3TAj9cy But the actual polisher was this: shop.snapon.com/product/CTPP861-Series-14.4-V-MicroLithium-Brushless-Polish-Prep-Tools/14.4-V-MicroLithium-Cordless-Polish-Prep-Tool-Kit-(Red)/CTPP861K2 Lol I don't think I paid $600 for mine lol wow prices have gotten stupid!

[@stevemiz]

Thanks for the response! Keep up the great videos!!

[@1972mdc]

Always a good skill to have and with all the great YT content the “I don’t know how” excuse really can’t work anymore. With things costing more I’d like to see more DIY vs complaining about the cost of life as people go to a car wash, through the drive through for meals and coffee, and pay to have their lawns mowed or houses cleaned…tons of $ is spent frivolously

[@1972mdc]

Plus, take advantage while you still can do it - sadly someday we all will have to pay for it bc we physically can’t

[@BornAgainBoating]

Truth!

[@markwebb8013]

Like your boat work videos.....but metal autobody work questionable,works for a while.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks.

[@crispernator]

Mate that looks fantastic you could start your own shop "dodgy brothers panel shop" you broke 3 more bolts than i did on my 40hp exhaust plate trying to get it off . do a video on how you repair it i used helicoils .

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks for the idea and name. Lol.

[@5andme851]

I have to know. HOW? Do you literally park it inside the ocean? Like how a truck roof not only corrodes like that but re-corrodes after a repair?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Lol live on the ocean and you'll be driving around in half a truck in no time lol

[@georges2575]

Salty air in the keys, if it leaks that salty air gets into the truck, humidity, moisture, not a good mix. But yea that shit is kinda ridiculous

[@johnlincoln4616]

Salty air and Florida sun with destroy things faster than you ever thought possible.

[@dcgo44r]

​@@johnlincoln4616that's 100% correct.

[@malekodesouza7255]

Salty air. Cars in Hawai’i look the same…

[@Whalermansteve84]

Use JB weld !!! Works wonders for all my projects. Total fair will eventually chip away

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thank you

[@cmacedo1177]

Now its much better, looks like a sunken german submarine from WW2

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

DIY is a choice if you love working on mechanical things and have the tools and skill to do it. Otherwise your wasting time and money. Always start on small things to build up all of the above.

[@pablodelosangeles7446]

Grande👏👏👌💪

[@945hilo]

The truck should buff out 😂

[@thegunnut221]

Whats with the sunglasses indoor?

[@BornAgainBoating]

It's part of the BAB uniform. Lol

[@aquilesmasdmd]

Just bondo the whole windshield and roof. You’ll be good. 😂 Look,honestly a gas can and a match and it will fix all your issues.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Great point!

[@daha7864]

No really, honestly… a little navel jelly to the finished metal polishing, then some crazy glue over that, before the glass and fair would probably make it last a little longer.

[@bobneech965]

Hope you don't need a windscreen replacement, that's the when not to lol

[@BornAgainBoating]

Lol

[@Chris-bx4vk]

Nothing to do w this video but have you had blood work done lately? Just checking on you bro, your hands look like they've seen a lot of chemicals and you're around harsh toxins everyday breathing them in.

[@BornAgainBoating]

Thanks for the check bro. Appreciate you!

[@BuyingTickets]

yeeee

[@wmp89]

Mate, i think its time for a new truck 😂

[@BornAgainBoating]

I think so too. lol

[@robertrreagan1179]

Time for a new truck, lol

[@BornAgainBoating]

I think so too man. lol

[@robokiss7822]

Should have rust converted first then fixed it like your fixing a hole in a boat to last onther 8 years. It's funny if you took you car to a panel beaters and spend hundreds of dollars it would only last 2 years maybe

[@cg-keuka]

Don’t let a boat man do a car man job.

[@BornAgainBoating]

hahaha

[@kuang01]

classic shoemakers wear broken shoes themselves.🎉

[@BornAgainBoating]

Lol.

[@glenngray1201]

Not a How To 😂

[@jasonreynolds2295]

Buy a ford

[@markmagi3527]

It might be time for a newer truck…..just sayin. Maybe we can do a “Go Fund Me” page for you to help you out.

[@TurdJesus]

If it runs it’s a good rig. Live in the rust belt and my trucks have never even been this bad. With the price of trucks these days I’d keep it going as long as possible. A truck is a truck
