I saw on another video the average view time in only 2 min and everyone wants to see three days work in one minute (LOL). That silver paint looks dope and flawless! Today, nobody puts any pride into their work, its all about making a fast buck with no effort. Great Job Pete!

I LOVE that your videos are "long and drawn out" and I love your attitude about it. You don't owe any of us a damn thing and you're not required to teach us shit. Thank you for your time. I'm learning more from you than any other channel so yeah, thank you!!

Pete. Thank you for taking the time to teach us properly and not cutting corners and taking short cuts.. Keep it real!!!

Ya gotta LOVE DIY PETE! Very knowledgable and quite generous to give his time and his trade secrets free on KZfaq. Pete is frankly honest so very reliable in my opinion. Thanks Pete, watching, listening and learning!

It's nice to see someone that is no BS and explains it thoroughly. Thanks Pete!

I love watching this dude. Been doing it on and off for years. He has a personality that’s strong enough to be on television. He’s knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. Right here from Big D, baby! We got some badass car guys in this city.

Forget how long the video, keep giving these great tips! This is a process that can't be rushed if you won't perfection. I'm thinking of taking on the task of doing the bodywork on my car (don't own a shop)....

Hallo Pete im Jean from South Africa. I have a few rusted fuel tanks here with me. This is basically how i got to your video. I love how nice you explain everything. Im no pro so every bit of advice from you helps me. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

You do a great job! I love your no BS approach. You've been doing this for a living a long time and people need to realize that these methods are tried and true over a long and successful career in the industry. I'm in the middle of restoring an old bread truck and even though it's only 14' long, that's a lot of area to prep.

Your videos show what it really takes to do this kind of work correctly so it looks great and lasts. Like you always say, prep work is what makes a great paint job. Your long videos are appreciated - and the car looks fantastic! Thanks my friend Pete!

This ain't one of those cutesy little KZfaq channels with the bite-sized clips meant for entertainment! If you come here and watch Pete's videos, you gotta treat it like going to a class! If you wanna learn properly, you gotta take the time TO learn, and learn how to do it right! So when Pete uploads a video, you WILL have to take time out to sit down and watch. Sometimes I gotta save the video for later when I have time to watch it, but I never regret when I finally do. Always a learning experience. The results really speak for themselves. They're right there, plain as day for you to see. That finished product is absolutely gorgeous. You can't argue with the results! Great job! Excellent job! Thanks for another fine video, AND another beautiful, restored car put out into this world!

Great video Pete! I appreciate you taking your time to teach us how to do these jobs. I like the way you keep all the BS out of it and show us how to get the results. That GTO is going to be a great present. It looks great! Thank to both of you for doing these videos.

only took a day to do all this work and it's done right. What more could one ask for. Love to see a true craftsman with pride at work. nice job keep it up

THANKS PETE This information is GOLD! I have been in the car business over 30 years and im still learning things. Great Video.

Excellent vid as always Pete. You and Mini do a great job on these videos, lots of info and cool tips. Keep em coming!!

Love the videos Pete. Keep up the details and talk as long as needed. A newbie like myself needs to hear it all! My husband and I are restoring a 1926 Nash light six and the poor thing is pretty damn rusty.

I swear, I could watch this video a hundred times and never tire of the information, action and see the mostly finished vehicle, all in one viewing! DK, Omaha.

Another great show brother . you give more information to your listeners than a school does.thank you for your hard work and time.

Great work Pete & Minnie , lots of hours mate. From Downunder in the Outback . Please keep the clips coming, and make them as long as you want to . Love you new shed as well 😊

Good thorough job Pete. Video is not too long when you're teaching us something. We love ya man, and Mini too. Car looks perfect.

I'm not going to learn everything in a day , watching one or two videos. Forget about people complaining, it takes a life time to be the best. Thanks for the video enjoyed it.

What a fantastic job you have done on the car. I don't care how long the videos are Pete I am learning so much. Thank you for that Pete. Lawrence from the United Kingdom.

Looks really good. You did an awesome job. I like the length of videos for what it's worth. Lots of really great detail and information that I for one really appreciate you sharing. Thanks Pete.

Love your videos Pete and appreciate that you take the time to show the correct way of doing things.

Love your videos Pete. I never had the opportunity to learn these skills growing up but was always interested. Restoring a 76 280z and watched most of your videos twice.

Ignore the people saying your videos are too long. This is great content.

Thanks for the tip. We have 99 Jeep XJ. For surface rust developing on the roof and hood. Also got rust the doors around the windows. Thanks for sharing.

A big thank you Pete for showing us how to tackle rust issues. 🍻

Pete your hard work is paying off . So far so good with the restoration so far

Pete, you do really nice work I always watch your videos while I'm restoring my Chevelle and Camaro's

I have been doing something similar to Pete for two years now on my restoration and his advise is right on. Right down to the wire brush between acid coats. I use acid called Metal Prep from HD which does the same thing. Results are amazing. Multiple applications is the ticket too.

My friend PETE, you are the man. I like how you cut that old cadillac in your front yard of the shop. You have taught me a lot through the years........I thank You.

Pete... buddy. You did a good job stripping the car parts and getting ready for painting. I notice that someone has beat me to it telling you that your technically wrong about the chemicals. Muriatic acid is a very strong organic acid. That yellow film left after vinegar (acetic acid) is RUST that is initiated by those acids you are using. The acids eat into the metal because they combine with iron causing oxidation. Adding water when rinsing will also cause rust by introducing oxygen to the iron in the bare metal. To stop or slow down the oxidation (rusting) you should use a baking soda and water solution. If you want to leave it exposed over night or for longer you can keep oxygen away from the metal to prevent or at least slow down the rusting by coating with PAINT (primer) of some kind or oil as soon as possible. Once you do that then you don't have to be a a super rush or hurry to get the rest of the job done. ALSO, any vinegar or muriatic acid left inside that door is going to cause accelerated rusting so it is very important to properly neutralize the rusting chemical reactions using a buffer or alkaline solution such as baking soda or an oil to block the oxygen getting to the exposed metal. Old school is great but a little technology can preserve those parts for many years to come... a lot longer than just out the door with a nice paint job.

Take as much time as you want pete . Keep them vidos comming.

Keep up the good work man. Nothing wrong with getting down to business and speaking detail information!

I appreciate you taking your time and teaching the right way to do things

It's like a big tree it takes a long time to grow. Great job and well worth the time to watch until the end. Thank you!!!!

That's a great well done rust removal, I learned a lot today that I'll put in practice!! Receive a big hug from Puerto Rico Pete and thanks for doing this helpful videos, you're helping us hugely, blessings!!

your video wasn't to long i found it very informitive and ive been watching many videos and this is the best one ive found to remove rust ty

I feel like you gave us lessons from your heart.

Thanx Fer taken pride in rust removal pete, and making sher yer point on every step of the process. Much learned

Thanks Pete , Always Great Videos. A person is never to old to learn to do it Right

Video not too long. Keep doing what your doing. VERY THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!

Looks great Pete!! Gonna be a beautiful car when shes all put back together!

Promise these stuff will blow your mind bud! Perfect for the kind of rust u got!

Rewatching this vidio and still loving what you do! Looks amazing brother! A lot of hard work but wow does it look good! You're the man Pete!

You are a righteous Harley Dude who teaches me like the older brother I don’t have. Thanks for showing me the right way to solve my automotive rust issues! I had good luck with your advice on the spray rust killer from perma-tex that napa sells.When buying more spray I told the dude about you at Napa and he gave me a free Napa baseball cap! Thanks My Cousin Pete!

Thanks Pete and Minnie, I like the long videos , keep it up and do it right 👍

Great tip on removing rust, am sure I'll be doing that myself in a future project.

Keep it up Pete, you did not swear or got mad, good video and your blood pressure must .be down to a normal level.

Loved the video brother. Just got my hands on a 68 LeMans. Entire body has surface rust. A few spots rusted out but car is in great shape otherwise. Will definitely be taking your advice and using the muriatic acid and vinegar. Keep the education coming brother

Holy moly, you may be a little cranky at times, but you do incredible work. That GTO is beautiful.

If they don't want to watch 30 min. They don't want to learn. I appreciate the knowledge Pete.

Great video, thanks for the fast forward so we can see the results. It takes a lot to make silver look that good.

Thank you so much for such informative videos! I've learned a lot!

I trust what you say and know you've been doing this forever but still have a hard time getting my mind around rinsing bare metal with water. Great video

Well Pete here's the deal every class I ever took was least an hour long or longer . I've learned more from watching your videos so you take as long as you need to explain all the procedures in plain English. Doesn't get any better than that!!!

Make sure to watch it till the end to see the FINISHED CAR PAINTED AND DONE! Leave a comment below... To see the car finished jump to 29:48

Hell yeah Pete! You're doing a tremendous job on that car so keep sending those who don't like your videos to Davy Jone's Locker, Take care Brother in Blue Semper FORTIS!

Awesome job dude. Lots of hard skilled work pays off. Great explanation on video.

My new friend PETE. I v'e been watching your videos for quite a while now and yes they are long. But I like them long because you teach me more. The other guys with the short videos show the before and after. But not all the process of getting it done. Keep the videos the way that you want. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think your videos are too long. At least you go into detail explaining things

Thanks so much for this video I really needed to know what to do I am using that same rust eater I'm redoing my brother's smoker for him and you really helped me out!

Thanks Pete! I'm restoring (?) a old garden tractor cart. You're right about chemicals being weaker nowadays. All because of EPA and our Nanny State. I've used HCL to do many jobs.👍

Your videos are great man so much great content and informative you really helping me. I’m about to start on my 63 bud and has surface rust all over thank you Tony

make your videos longer haha Honestly I have watched probably 100+ hrs. and really thankful you made them. Saved me probably 10k$

Yeah Pete Greg from Australia Appreciate the time you put in there's no shortcuts👍

Nice job. Looks great. That color is something else ♡

Thanks for your time Pete.

Love ya work Pete Can we see some old customers cars, that you did years ago. Just to see how well your work ages? Your mate Stu from Australia

Ive beening using muratic acid for many many years works great....and neutralizing with vinegar, i would highly recommend one addition tip afterthe vinegar step... was with water and phosphoric acid the panel will not flash rust with orange flash rust... or just brush on phosphoric pure... last months with no rust..

Great job! I appreciate all your videos.

February 25,2019.Very Good video.Keep up the videos.Up here in Illinois we get a lot of rust.

Thank you pete. I'm 25 years old and taking on a 50 year old project. It's nice to see the older fellas taking the time and teach the new generation the right and patient way. There's a thousand shortcuts out there these days and you're one of the few honest ones doing it right.

Thanks Pete for your time and Knowledge!

great video! you keep them videos coming, no matter how long.

Used this acid in concrete work for cleaning trowels and tools. Left a trowel overnight in the acid and the following day I noticed a discoloration line where the trowel corner had been submerged overnight. Thought nothing of it and went to the job site. When it came time for me to begin flat troweling the cement slab, I took one swipe with the trowel and when I put pressure on that corner it snapped right along the discolored line. Those trowels are hardened spring steel and that acid turned the metal to a brittle potato chip. Like Pete said, bad stuff if used improperly. Thanks for the vid, good info.

Product you bought is 20% concentration. Stop going to Walmart. Lowes has the 30% concentration and you get TWO gallons for $10.

Thanks Pete! Never used muratic acid before. Definitely gonna try it on my project. In Indiana, rust is our state flower. I'd love to see a video of what you do when the sound deadener comes off the inside of the door and that metal rusts.

You scared the crap out of the kid! He seemed like a nice kid, go easy on him Pete,save the rough stuff for the whiners who complain about long videos. You are one of a kind, great long winded video!

Dude, you can't neutralize one Acid with another Acid. Both "Hydrochloric Acid" and Viniger " Acetic Acid" have to be neutralized with a "Base" Baking Soda is a base. if you don't the acids that are sitting in the little places you didn't get thoroughly rinsed out will slowly continue to eat the metal under your paint. You can put the baking soda on directly or mix 1/4 to a 1/2 cup or more per gallon of water and spray it on the parts then rinse that off thoroughly once the bubbling has stopped. then coat the metal so it doesn't flash rust.

Love your videos, Pete and your attitude, FTW

Hey Pete, Thanks for showing this!

Metalworks in Eugene OR dipped my CJ5 jeep project in a tank, the parts came back clean,free of rust and coated with rust inhibitor,it saved me so much time!!

Best teaching video's to watch. Thanks Gary

Yeah, I’ve stripped em and let sit for month after a wipe down with phosphoric acid. Metal prep 69. Love the no frill approach

Great video man! Looks awesome!

Keep teaching Pete cool stuff your working on

.. Another great video. I wish you and KZfaq had been around when I was young, would have saved me a lot of money on products that did some times work but were quite expensive compared to muriatic acid and vinegar water chaser. Also, thanks for explaining how to deal with soda blasted metal. I'm sure you have heard the nay sayers talking about how paint won't stick to the metal after using it.

Right on Pete for the demonstration on how to.

Hey, Pete! I love your videos and this one is especially great. I’ve been using muriatic acid for awhile now to strip parts, and the only piece of advice I can give you (for everyone’s safety) is to ALWAYS (outside or inside) wear a respirator. I understand that for the purpose of this video you needed to have your mask off for clear audio, but it’s always better to error on the side of caution when working with acids like this one. (It’ll f**k your lungs up). Thanks for the great content and never stop creating!!

Pete I been watching you since you helped me figure out the doors on my 34 Ford, you know what i'm talking about. This acid trick is good but a better acid is shown by "just a hand" on you tube heck him out. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Sir for teaching us your auto body skills !

I liked it. thank you. keep doing stuff like this! some of us need to know

Thanks Pete, another old rodder here. Never used muratic acid, I may give it a try. Ospho man here but I know how much work it all is.

Keep the vids as long as you want to get the info explained properly Pete. Anyone who complains can bog off to somewhere else and annoy them lol. I’m a single female of a certain age who is chuffed to have made a new driveway at the side of my house in order to start the restoration of my Ford mk2 Transit 1983 ex ambulance. I’m learning sooo much from you and want to do it stage by stage and do it right because il be putting on many decals once the paint job is completely finished. Then the campervan conversion will begin. I’m totally obsessed with rust prevention as I live literally 50 yards from the sea, salted roads and it rains here in Northern Ireland probably 350 days a year! The last thing I’m going to do is general prime and paint the way I’ve seen other van lifers do as in 2 yrs I’d have to be starting from scratch again. Thank goodness you are prepared to take the time to help as without you imparting your knowledge, I realise I would have ended up with the wrong products which wouldn’t have done the job. Thanks Pete and camera lady xx

I’ve learned a lot from Pete. And he is a brother of the sea.

thank you for helping us and shearing your Knowledge and expertise. God Bless You

Nice, great info. Keep it coming..thx Barry

Hey Pete, my name is Tommy. I am currently tearing apart my 77 gmc and then ik gonna rebuild it completely custom and I'm aiming for the Ridler Award... while I was yanking out my carpet in the cab I came across some surface rust on both sides and wasn't really sure if I should replace the floor pans or if there was something else I could do to fix the rust and then I came across your video and i even had muriatic acid in my garage... i really enjoyed your video and thought it was very informative and i thank you for that... as far as people telling you your videos are too long then i say scree them cuz in your videos you are very detailed about your instructions on what your doing and I myself would rather the video be 8 hours and very detailed over a short video and not very specific on the instructions... I hate it when your trying to follow along with someone on their video and they skip over a lot or take parts of the video out to make it shorter and then you have to guess what they did and then possibly really mess your project up, so again dont kiten to them man. I really appreciate your videos and the way you show us how to do certain things and how to do it correctly... keep up the videos Pete...
