Awesome Video !!!! always thought out and great explanation of the work in real time. I have watched alot of videos on restoration and I haven't seen anyone show the work as indepth as you, everyone shows pics after body filler, primer, or paint but you show your work in the raw. Nice !!!! 👍

Man those rear wheel house placement is SO important. Has to be perfect otherwise you run into issues where the lip meets the lip of the quarter panel, the trunk hinge bracket placement is super important too otherwise the trunk won’t fit right. I forgot to put that dang tab on mine lol tomorrow I’m gonna go look on the old wheel house and see if it’s still there. Lol Love your vids bro. Wish I was there to help and watch you work. 💪

I am going to rehang doors on both sides of body before I attempt to permanently attach and align both rear quarter panels! Thanks for the great tips!

Man, I stumbled across your channel and it's must-watch stuff. Really, really impressive work. An honest question, what is your position on bracing up the car prior to doing this kind of work? When I've been chopping a top, I was always taught to cross brace door openings, rear windows, and even cross brace the body. In instances like this do you find that the body is so rotten that aligning doors, decklid and so on is useless for fit and finish later? Or is the bracing unnecessary when you have as good of a body dolly as you have here? Is it totally overkill? Love your work man, keep it coming.

@guzzifabrication3448 11 ай бұрын

The answer to that question is always it depends on the person skill level. I could chop a top without bracing and move the body in any position that I need to..... but I have 25 experience... Another consideration and I would say mistake cuz I see a lot of guys over bracing making it very difficult to work around the bracing if not impossible..... If a person is just building their skill level I would suggest bracing but keep it to a minimum usually a 4-point brace works just fine. Let me throw something else out there bracing is one thing building on a frame fixture something else.... hey thanks for watching

I have to add bracing doesn't mean the car will absolutely not move or twist....

install the seat and the interior panel in place, stick a ice pick type tool through the fastening hole and scratch, then use tape on the bracket to position, move until correct.

Watching this as I am beginning my own 64 impala ss project. Dad bought the car second hand just before I was born in ‘80. Learning a lot, but also wondering if I have the time/tools to get it done. Out of curiosity, how much does a project like this cost?

@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 Жыл бұрын

I respect that you are brush painting or spray painting rust inhibitor on all the original car panels and welded areas but are you stripping off the black coating that comes on the replacement parts or leaving it and using POR over it or ?? Where are these replacement parts coming from that they fit so well on the car ? Can't be the made in China crap that 90% of restoration dealers sell to everyone......

@guzzifabrication3448 Жыл бұрын

If it is "real" EDP coat you prep and use as a base, people keep saying you have to strip the EDP caot and that isn't true.... not at all... some manufacturers are spraying a lacquer black on the parts now.... yes thats low quailty. Trust me, the videos do not reflect the work that goes into these projects, that's a weeks worth of work squeezed into a 16 minute video. Rarely do parts just fit.... really appreciate the questions, thanks for watching !

@Guzzi Fabrication I appreciate the reply, thank you. You have made good progress on that car especially considering how in depth the work is you have done. In the future would you please consider including what all you had to do to get the replacement parts to fit ? Thanks.

my car is currently sitting in my garage, it was primed with metal etching primer after media blast. Is that a bad thing? because you keep saying epoxy primer

@guzzifabrication3448 Жыл бұрын

Epoxy is always my first choice, especially media blasted metal epoxy primer is superior to any coating, but since your car already has etching primer on it and it's not exposed to the elements, it will be ok.

You are absolutely wrong and you're just trying to fault find sitting on your butt behind the computer... I am an I-car certified structural technician.....AWS certified welder with many years in that field working insurance/collision jobs...... and if indeed that area were compromised by the replacement in the event of an accident.... that accident would probably be one you wouldn't walk away from...... to go fault find somewhere else and don't watch my channel. Is that clear enough for you
