You take something that is a lot of work and you break it down into smaller sections. I've watched your videos and have learned so much. When I start repairing my pickup this spring, from frame repair up to the body panels; I will be using your tips and tricks to do it. Instead of seeing it as one large job, I now see it as a combination of a bunch of small jobs.

You put more thought and care into it than the original manufacturer. They cut out the blanks, stamp it "close enough" and then bam, bam, bam, spot weld and maybe shoot some primer in the hole and add a bit of seam sealer. And MOST of that lasted decades... I would say that car (at least the parts you did) will last many decades longer than Toyota ever imagined it would! I only wish my Suzuki Cappuccino had gotten your level attention and care when someone decided it was a bit rusty and parked it in 2010 or so. Now, it's like stepping into what sounds like leaves under the carpet! haha I should be getting back into things soon(once I finish the garage) and these videos give me an edge in some great tips and motivation: "it can be fixed, with time, effort and skill and careful planning!" To help my restoration I saved cuts from a crashed one from down near Killkenny with almost no rust to make templates and repair panels from. Cheers for the great videos and instruction!!

Out of all the people out there doing body work on cars you are the best I was watching on others Chanel and they did not even cool down the welds at all his but welds warped the panel and when he ground down the welds it looks like Mickey Mouse even his body filler was not pressed deeply into the edges of the welds just a problem waiting to happen ... Watching your work you are the best I've seen your welds are very good you reconstruct the car to original as possible.... I like to see that in a you tube channel... Keep up the good work!!!

I'm currently restoring a '73 914 and I've been kind of stuck for a few months on some sections which I need to replace. Your methods are helping me to get ahead a great deal. Thank you for sharing sir! Looking forward to your next videos. Regards from Puerto Rico.

I just found your channel a week ago. Wish I would have found you sooner. I bought aftermarket quarter panels for my car and regret it. The fit is terrible. No matter how much I try to move these around. The gaps go from to wide to nonexistent. After watching your videos I believe I could have fixed what I had. Now that I have watched your videos I will be able to fix these new panels. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques!
