A craftsman makes a complex task look easy and effortless. The metal almost flows into shape in such skilled hands

[@ianbates1312]

Tin work,,,, I remember doing my share of it. It’s great to see Steve carrying on the “tradition” and making it look so easy 👍👍

[@anthonybrand6137]

It's always a priveledge to watch a true craftsman doing complex, intricate work like this......thank you! 👍👍

[@llmikeyj1]

Fascinating to see the inner arch shrink ever so slightly with the welding time-lapse around 10.34. You'd never even notice this in real time. Top work.

[@davidmckinney6577]

Now that is so beautiful work Steve you make it look so easy but I know that it's very hard work you and Ryan are the best in the business it just doesn't get any better than you guys..

[@dutchcuda]

wrestling my own rusty crap during the day and checking out YCR at night... makes me feel blessed with my rusty crap... 😂 Keep it coming ,please 👍👍

[@carstenfunk6075]

Great work! My main takeaway: keep it simple! Cutting and welding the inner arche in the "corner" allows an easy to make (bending, shrinking and stretching) replacement piece. I tend to cut in flat areas insted of bends/corners which makes making pieces so hard...

[@GarageItYourself]

Awesome sauce!!!! This people is how it's supposed to be done 👍

[@amunarjoh]

If you never saw an artist, doing his craft! Rewind and watch this one more time. It's really worthwhile. Artist, and craftsmanship in one..!😮

[@bensclassicbodywork]

I'm sure you will fully weld that arch. I hope so anyway. From the couple videos I've seen you don't use Zintec, just wondering what the reason was for not using it? Looks good otherwise. 👍👍

[@ToreDL87]

They always full weld, just taking care they get it all bang-on before finishing touches 😁

[@bensclassicbodywork]

@@ToreDL87thanks, I suspected they would. They look quite good at their job.

[@ToreDL87]

@@bensclassicbodywork Yeah looks like they skimp only because they mostly show inner structural stuff, you can buy an arch for an MX5 or BMW, but inner sills, floors etc... not so much sadly. Been meaning to ask you, will mr.Clamp make a reappearance? 🤣 I actually found a flypress a couple of weeks ago, sadly it was all rusted from sitting outside, had to pass on it.. Built a welding table yesterday though, English wheel next bought some really high quality wheels from UK Ebay shop.

[@bensclassicbodywork]

@@ToreDL87 Hi, that's a shame about the flypress, it must have been very rusty. Don't know why people do that to good tools. 😢 Mr clamp made a brief appearance in the latest Alfa video but I'm not sure it's a good use of viewers time 😆 Welding table sounds good as does building the English wheel, I got my wheels from eBay too. Work great. Are you going to use any plans or design yourself ?

[@ToreDL87]

@@bensclassicbodywork Yeah the rust on that flypress was so bad I doubt it can ever be made to cycle accurately again. The motor on it was so decayed, parts of the shell had broke off, I've seen that kind of damage before, must have been stored in a barn. Recently found another one for 200 quid, I might go have a look at it this weekend. I just watched the latest Alfa vid, those things are notorious, what can you do but laugh at the difference between those two fenders 😂 I think a funny theme is good for any niche on KZbin , they all do it😁 Chances are we got our wheels from the same seller (adam.0000), was a UK seller in my case too. I'll be designing it myself, I got some 5mm thick 40x40mm square tubing which should be stiff enough for the purpose.

[@ceesklumper]

Nice, the cut 'n butt method. I thought you were going to show us how to make the fender lip! Seems that was a repair panel.

[@jeffhammond8969]

so does the outer panel get fully welded off-camera? Love watching the progress on the Manta.

[@ashleyjames6010]

Is the arch section going to be fully welded?

[@mcjdubpower]

Gud vid ❤

[@russellmyers9013]

Great work. Question. Is the tiger seal considered structural? Instead of plug welding out skin to inner.

[@bashsharif8272]

excellent work quality. Look after the eyes pls.

[@mverbaan3381]

Nice video again! (As usual) How many miles of sandpaper, liters of rust-prevention, kilo's of welding material, hectares of sheet metal do you use on a daily basis?? Incredible. Somehow soothing to see your craftmanship and video: no rushed hassle, fitting and measuring, some knock here and there.... great! On 21:40 you use glue to fit the outer arc to the car, why no welding here? Has it to do with rust prevention in hard to reach places? How does the glue like the welding afterwards?

Fantastic skill share not so detailed as Fitzies fabrication but far more detailed than Resto mods which have budgets bigger than the largest mortgages

[@Afrodizyak47]

Steve, as always a beaut video and without doubt, master craftsmanship. Just a question from and old codger again. I was looking at the ease at which the underseal scraped of on the lower rear edge of the wheel well. Will you eventually strip, recoat and underseal the entire inner wheel well? I was thinking that the old seal could allow water entrapment under the skin by the ease in which it flaked off.

[@steinbauge4591]

Sure, as it dries. You can oil spray old underseal (or lanoline/Fluid Film) and it will be as new. I guess dealing with this issue is not for the welder.

[@donwright3427]

I bet rust really hates you ! Top job

[@pjmccracken]

Great work as always but how in the heck do you not suffer from arc eye !?

[@spencereagle1118]

Steve is obviously from the future, look how he uses transparent aluminium at 11:45

Glag you like it :)

[@katywalker8322]

Having a whale of a time!

[@jussisyrjala5391]

If You would have cutted outer panel to size with small saw it would have been easier to weld. Saw leaves consistent nice gap, cut off wheel gap is harder to weld shut

[@215alessio]

It is similar to the Ford Capri. Only other trim and engines

[@johnturner4400]

[@as3cs3]

when the first bit was being done (rear lower) I could see orange paint and underseal on the upper part of the wheelhousing. Is this visible inside the boot? 🤔

I don't think I'd have jack the car like that. twisted. . To much stress. And maybe miss shaped weld. Years ago you could only jack the Datsuns on there jacking points . Great job nice clean work. Good luck.

[@timothyfranklin8014]

Beautiful craftsmanship as always. 👏👏👏 Question : why did you butt weld this wheel arch and yet lap weld and fill a wheel arch on the black mx5? Not a criticism, I'm just interested to know? 🤓

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

A valid question and all down to customers budget :) 👍

[@bensclassicbodywork]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration Personally I wouldn't lap weld anything that wasn't originally lapped. If the budget isn't there then the car doesn't get restored, not by me anyway. Each to their own of course and you obviously have a different outlook.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

@@bensclassicbodywork it's not always down to budget it's also down the skill. We don't do this to show people how we do it. Although that is sometimes the case and sometimes the budget, We do this to show people how to do it themselves and butt welding is beyond some people's skill set so better than let a car rot away because they can't afford for it to be restored we would rather they repaired it themselves and sometimes that means a lap weld so that these classics stay on the road :)

[@bensclassicbodywork]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration I can understand that point of view and I would certainly agree if it saves the car from being scrapped that is a good thing. Obviously this work would have to be done again in the future to restore the car back to how it was. As long as there wasn't too much of this to do the car would be saved and not scrapped. Perhaps there are more people out there that can't butt weld than I realise. Your channel is doing very well indeed, well done for putting in the effort on making videos, it's takes a lot to achieve what you have. 👍

[@jug3r295]

What is the name of the tool used at 7:50 ?

Was i thing i did years ago but now days in Oz down here new cars dont rust out like old ones , most old cars are crushed after 10 years , real old cars 80s 70s 60s are all collectable and only come out for events most are all restored ,hard to find a project car with chrome bumpers under 10k ,most are to far gone to fix . so we dont see much in the way of rust repairs anymore , even the modern 4wds dont rust even after beach driving ,
