In this video, we will be fixing the extremely rusty firewall on our classic 1966 Chevy C10 Truck. I'll show the steps of fabricating and Mig welding in a patch panel using simple hand tools that are readily available to the average hobbyist.

I like vegging out in front of your videos when I'm just about to hit the sack. It helps me sleep easier because it helps me think that if you can straighten out the worst conditions of the scrap metal you call a vehicle, then my own problems can be resolved too, perhaps. I should think more about facing confrontations with an acetylene torch or mig welder in the future.

Luv the cool warbling intro theme -- adds intrigue! In contrast, I feel that some sort of character flaw is the reason that Hans Zimmer never wrote an edge tipping theme song. There are still some holes in the fabric of all of the theme songs available for application to cinematic background music. It is clear that the work force must be doing something right here, because Management is obviously still happy. I like the ole technique of starting out with self-tapping sheet metal screws for fitment and holding in place, and then morphing them into plug welds later. I even learned a trick or two in watching the center floor patch at the end. All in all, a good episode.

I started working on cars and painting them in the early '70s. As far as the bodywork is concerned... your work beats a lot of the cars I've worked on. I haven't seen you lather on the seem sealer like they used to instead of making panels fit properly. Plus you don't leave exposed metal everywhere. Carry on.
