I used to make a living out of inspecting welds in the oil industry. This buddy Matt knows what he´s doing.

The amount of knowledge dropped in this video is insane. Thank you for the information. I learned a ton

This is the best video out there on how to learn to weld. The way you explain the whole process is amazing. Even I as new learner/beginner who is still terrified about welding become more confident and I tried your advice and instructions and I'm amazed at my results. I used 0.6mm wire and 90/10 took it easy and slowly and I'm chuffed with the results. Thank you so so much you are a legend TOP MAN and expert in your field once again thank you very much. 🙏👍👍👏👏👏✌🤟❤❤

Matt you have amazing talent and explain in a way that the average person can understand. Thank you

once prepped and painted no one would ever know its been plated, perfect repair..

Absolutely awesome. Down to earth cool and relaxed, with the right amount of details that do make the difference. Thanks!

Brilliant teacher, great tutorial, not every teacher has this gift.

I was looking for another box for my 1983 Ford truck. But they're hard to find and never rust-free. I'm going to buy a mig and do it myself. Your vid motivates me big time.

You explained it perfectly man a toddler could learn how to do this from watching your video awesome job!

Superb film, the best I've seen on panel patching. And British! Very, very helpful - shows me I am at least on the right track. Thank you for posting.

Possibly the best tutorial I've watched in a while. Thank you.

I've watched this 3 times. Thank you!

Dude, i've watched so many of these videos from all over youtube, and you are literally the most articulate in defining the process

Great video. One thing is the cutting out of the panel and the repair piece, I always find the easiest method is to lay the new piece on top and cut through both the new piece and the rusty piece at the same time. That way you've always got a perfect fit with a decent gap around the edge for penetration of the welds 👍🏼 Edit: for anyone wondering how to hold the two pieces together while cutting, I use a couple of strong magnets.

Brilliant, step by step, easy to follow clip...thanks so much ! I'm about to start my first rust repairs and this has given me a lot more direction with how I should approach the repair.

thank you, x1000, I've searched the internet for a video like this, and you my guy have helped me a lot, great explanation, detailed information.

Another exlant video. But i would say what you done can be done with Co2 gas. I returned lots of cars in a much simular way 👍. You are a great teacher. A pleaure to see working 👍

Very good instruction. Simply described. Best I've watched.

you sir are an excellent instructor and the comments you made about your techniques are priceless. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great tutorial!! I’m getting ready to do this on a 76 CJ 7. Thanks for sharing.

Great video man. Thank you so much. I've been working on a truck resto for a year, running on straigh C02. The first 3 minutes of your video may have saved my project. Thank you for clarifying gas mix. I'm switching to 90/10 today

Hi Matt Every time I feel my restoration project is overwhelming me your straightforward presentation and advice gives me the boost I need to continue. Please keep them coming! Greetings from sunny Perth WA 😎

A master at work. I'm going to keep this for reference

Very informative video . Thanks for sharing. I now know why the first patch panel I welded warped like crazy!

I second that comment. I’m a novice welder, but you’re a great teacher, mate.

I use UrchFabs technique on my restoration of a '76 FJ40. Taking my time on the patch panels. I like using the butt weld clamps when I can get to the back of the panel, and I like to use a copper backer so I can use my 0.035" wire and 75/25 gas. Takes forever but the finished product looks great. It's the journey not the destination. I also really like the 2" Roloc wheels from 3M and an air grinder to grind the weld. Much more control over the big 4" heavy grinder.

Thanks for sharing. In Canada our vehicles are consumed by road salt in the winter, rust repairs are a way of life. Great explanation and execution.

Thank you very much for taking the time to show these tips...really appreciate it, I am in the process of starting to do some rust work on a car, replacing small panel parts like these...once again easy to follow tips and a big thanks.

Knowledgeable, no faff and a truly excellent learning experience. Thanks so much.

This is one of the best and most useful welding vids on KZfaq, top marks!

Fantastic explanation of details . No BS just pure facts. Keep up the great work!

Great craftsmanship. We all need to be reminded to slow down and keep things cool!

Wow. I must have watched 20 videos, they made it sound so hard and so daunting... You just made me understand if I go in with some patients and plenty of time, I should conquer it 🤷✌️ cheers brother. Should have my Skoda s100L up n running in no time.

Appreciate you passing on your knowledge and expertise.

Man U helped me weld my own stuff had bought car off my dude who had lil bit rust on the back above the right tire wasn’t trying pay to get it done did it my self thank u Man U helped me save money and learn a new trade

Bro I learnt alot out to this, I'm going to have a go at repairing rust in my HJ47 Landcruiser ute because of your video. Thanks heaps mate! Legend!

Oh My G! That was the most perfect and relaxed tutorial I have ever watched as I try to fix a tiny rust hole on my daughters Mini Cooper. THANK YOU, I think a small wet towel and compressed air is perfect! 👍👍

An excellent video once again, lots of information and great pacing.

That was a great explanation thanks. I have more confidence to tackle my van now 👍

Ditto. Most others seem the skip over steps where as you explain everything perfectly. Thanks for taking the time for us.

Holy crap! That’s awesome. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom! 🤟🏼❤️

Really good little video. Cheers for taking the time to make it.

Excellent video, by far the best I've seen on panel repair. Very well explained and all makes sense

Brilliant video, I've seen a few other peoples videos and I'm none the wiser afterwards. Your video explains so much I actually feel confident enough to attempt it now. Thankyou

Excellent! You have a real talent for teaching. Thanks

Great video, the cereal packet embossing is simple but genius.... with pride comes patience, in turn brings reward

Proper craftsman at work.

Trying to learn how to do this. Thank you for sharing your talents!

Cool calm and collect tutor. Very good for the beginner, Thanks Dan.

Much appreciate you sharing your expertise. Helps me a great deal. Thank you!

Thank you....clearest panel patch video I have seem....lots of good tips.

I know feel that I can do this at home given the right tools. It all seems really straight forward but time intensive.

Wow i thought I could do this job easy! But I learned a lot of good tips. 😬 thank you and keep up the good work. David from Scotland

Great stuff thanks for the video I have a few to do on my project car Your video has helped me out massively and couldn't have come at a better time I'm glad I subscribed 👍

Another great vid Matt full of very useful easy to understand information. Cheers Malcolm

Just what I was looking for. Thank you

Excellent instructional, to the point, relevant and and achieved an awesome result.

so many great tips in here mate, never knew about changing the gas mix to more argon also good tip on using new sand flap disks to keep the heat down - much appreciated

Thanks for that mate, very informative and loads of essential tips.

You are very talented and articulate well, explaining every thing in great detail. Very well done video Sir! A+

You make me feel like I could be a welder...... You make welding look easy, but we all know it takes true skill to be a welder I may try my hand at it tho thank you for the Inspirational videos. I love DIY

Hey Bud. I keep brass plates around for backings (If You can get behind it) and use magnets to hold the plates then I can just slam (well low voltage/amperage slow 120/130 feed slam lol) with .035/C02 mig. I love it when I can use My TIG with no backing plates of course, but that's rare. Great video ! EDIT: Man, I could spend a weekend out in the garage with You, common sense and so calm and relaxed. Hot head anxious people are so stressful to be around. Welding/building should be fun and relaxing.

This is a great video man, thanks for taking the time to make it.

Excellent how to video. You have great fab skills. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks

Love the video - looking forward to watching the back catalog as well as the new stuff! REGISTRATION MARKS on template/patch (I forget this way more frequently than is good for my health) Making a template, i recommend "registration marks" to help put the patch in with the intended orientation. Needed when a patch is close to symmetrical -- so it still fits close to correctly -- and I "correct" a mistake and only then realize I had the patch flipped or rotated.

You make it look easy! In fairness, if I can knock out that level of quality on the MGB I'm restoring, I will indeed be laughing! Thanks for this great video.

Very helpful indeed. Tools of the trade and experience. Great information. Will help with upcoming project on Dad's 53 PW. Thankyou.

Great lesson. Thank you.

This is a nice video you cleaned up the welds really well

Great video! Found some rust in my project skyline recently, one arch,both sills and strut towers. This video has given me the confidence to break out the mig and give it a go. Thanks. Subbed

Make perfect sense what you say and do, also if you have access to back of panel, a copper strip works great to prevent blowing through. The copper band stock can just be knocked loose later. Aluminum work as well. We used to plug mis-located holes in plate steel by using a copper backing plate clamped in place, then fill hole to just above surface and then break away the copper plate and then grind your plug weld fill flush. Thanks for the video 😎👍

Again thank you for quality video

Solid info my friend, thanks for that!

That’s superb welding I must say

Taught me some new tricks. Appreciate that

Great video! Can't wait to practice! Thanks!

Nice job explaining, you did a quality job with the vid. Thanks.

Always learning. Keep them coming. Cheers.

Thank you matt for this video. Helped me out bigtime! 👍🙂

Great video, thanks, used it to repair some rust for the first time, and it worked!

Nice job Matt and well presented you lesser talented welder can follow. All the best Bob

Copper is a pretty good backing on thin steel old copper pipe opend up seems to work well, if you can get to the back weding on the bench is a breeze. First class demonstration, many thanks

Very informative. Thank you.

Good information & demonstration. Thank you!

Brilliant learning video thanks for your time. Hopefully I can attempt to weld my TORANA.

That was a great and informative block of repair instruction, I will be applying that knowledge as I am about to embark on some rust repair on my 66 Chevelle I have some rust on my front left "A" pillar band some in the back window channel as well, I have good MiG welding experience so with that knowledge combined what I am learning on your channel I have enough confidence to accomplish this work, now if I can just learn how to paint THE CAR AS WELL.

Great explanation. Hopefully will be doing a Land Rover bulkhead soon, will be using these tips!

Very good useful information as I will know what to do with my car bodywork.

that really does take talent that was an outstanding job of flushing

good job dude. thanks for the video

Amazing, hope to be like this one day

Great video. I used to be a painter 20 years ago. I was a combination man for awhile. I have since been an industrial fabricator and now a journeyman millwright. Having said that, great info. I was obviously trained wrong way back when I was younger on panel repair. I was in collision repair work not restoration or custom work so.. it was speed over quality for the most part. That's what burned me out because I prefer to do something right. Wish I had this knowledge back in the early 90's because it was just some of, what sounds simple to me now, had me frustrated to the point of burnt out and I actually had to take a step back and say hmm after watching this video. I've been around "production work" for so long I have forgotten just what the art of patience truly is. Thanks for the reminder. Cheers from America.

Good Video. Good job from Southern New England

Some really helpful advice there, thank you.

Very usefull tips that i can transfer to work on my MK5 Transit

Brilliant lesson in patch repairs Matt, trouble is I don’t have mig or tig and have to use electric arc which is a real pain!

I always wanted to know how to do this...thank you sir for shareing your knowledge...in my book you are the master body repair God.

Your channel is my favourite atm!!!

Excellent tutorial thank you!

Excellent, just what I needed to know, argon mix comment makes perfect sense.
