These doors were rough!! In this episode i get both doors patched up for the 1928 Model A Ford Coupe, AKA, the Yard Art Model A. Filled tons of rotted out pin holes in the door structures and skins, made the lower 8" of both doors, shaped the new sheet metal to match up with the original door skin contours, and in general, got rid of all and any rust on the doors. A little hammering and shaping, and both doors hit the car. Looking pretty good with a set of doors hung on it that have the lower sheet metal back on! Time to move on to the quarter panels and rear tail pan!

You are quite a "metal mover" sir. Back in the 60's, I worked for United Airlines as a sheetmetal/structural repair mech at the maintenance center at S. San Francisco air port. Of course, I was working with aluminum and you're doing it with steel. Anyways, we worked with mostly flat sheet and did a lot of angle bending and used rivets instead of welding. I'm thinking your work is a lot more difficult than working with aluminum. Love watching you do your work. You know what you're doing!

It seems like you could have used your brake (machine) to make all three brakes in those patches...but I'm not familiar with your brake. If you started out with the bottom brake (fold), then did each of the end brakes (folds) using the very end of your brake (machine), the lower brake (fold) would go up inside the end gap on your brake (machine). Hope that helps. I am about to do the exact same stuff to the exact same make/model doors. I started out making some videos on here, but got wrapped up in the work and got WAY behind on videos. That channel is called Troublemaker Customs. The car is a 28/29 Tudor. Thanks for posting this and good luck with the rest of it.

Awesome video series on the Model “A”, your talents and experience shine through! Have you ever tried silicon bronze filler wire? The stuff works great! I’ve used it a lot for filling small pits and rust holes. It finishes nice and filler and paint stick to it, unlike the old oxy/ acetylene brazing. Thanks again for sharing your journey with us. Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas and the happiest new year!

When you reassemble, could you slo mo putting which bolts are used for front fenders /body through. I removed all my fenders and raised body. Fell I’ll for a few years. Intended to reassemble right away and did not sort the bolts correctly. Now my memory of which bolts go where is keeping me from putting my A back together. Thanks.

@matthewcurtin1611 Жыл бұрын

Loving this. 7:27, why cut then weld? Why not just weld, straight out of curiosity and that I may be missing out on something big!

@rottersgarage Жыл бұрын

Any time there is a crack, or even a new piece of sheet metal going in, it is best to have a gap to fill with the weld. this allows the weld to penetrate through the gap and fill it. That way when you grind it off there is still plenty of weld between the pieces with a bit off bleed through on the back side for strength. Basically it allows for flush grinding of the weld without removing all of the weld. Also on a crack in sheet metal and more importantly aluminum, it is also a good idea to drill a hole at the end of the crack and fill it with weld as well, this ensures the crack will not keep spreading even after welding. Short answer, its for strength....

@watto1964 2 ай бұрын

Awesome job! What are your setting and wire gauge? I always have difficulty welding thin gauge.

@rottersgarage 2 ай бұрын

I run .030 wire for everything. Sheet metal I usually run at 19 volts on the millermatic I have, which is actually a little hot, but I run the wire a little on the fast side. Sometimes I'll drop down to 16 for really thin metal... Wire speed usually around 30 on my machine....

watched this video closely, first whats the gauge of the 2x1 you used for subrails, and 2' whats the grit number for your flapper wheels? is it around 80 or less

@rottersgarage 11 ай бұрын

For this one I used 14ga wall 1 1/2 x 1 square tube and I run plantex 40 grit flap discs for everything in the shop. On bigger cars where weight doesn't matter I sometimes run 1/8" wall on the framing. 👍

@rottersgarage 11 ай бұрын

I actually thought this was the floor framing video you responded to, flap discs are 40 grit like I said, all sheet metal is 18 ga on body patching.
