Basic guide to Bodywork, block sanding, priming, and primers in the restoration world!

Publicado 2023-06-19
On this video I take a step by step approach from taking a car from the metal stage being finalized and starting the bodywork process. I go over tips and tricks on how to create straight show quality cars and the work that goes into them. We do all the rough body work on this video and finish off the video with our 1971 Barracuda in polyester primer.

    If you search the entirety of youtube you won't find a video like this, he makes it look easy no doubt, but the reality is nobody is putting in 1 hour of 101 basics on classic cars, they cut so much from it, and never get down to the nitty gritty. I appreciate this channel and also shoutout to D.I.Y auto body, i don't care if the guy yells, he gets the job done, and so does Carthage Classic Cars.

    Poor guy inhaling all this dust just to teach us humble YouTubers! Very well made video, appreciate the knowledge.

    The people that are hear don’t care that the video is long but it being to short is the issue. Show the work that’s why we are here‼️

    This is by far the best video concerning the basics of filler over epoxy. None of the other videos I have seen on you tube tell you what to do when you expose bare metal when doing filler work. They all just say "don't expose the metal" or "stop before you get to metal." Then they tell you you must re-epoxy the bare metal before putting any more filler on. Well, we are DIY people and some of us are not perfect and we will end up with exposed metal. Your method is so sensible and manageable. You expose some bare metal and you deal with it in a logical manner. I will paint my car using your videos as my bible.

    Hey Rick... great video. The world needs craftsman like you!
  • If I wasn't a DIYr and I had copious amounts of disposable income this is the guy I'd be hiring to do all my work. He knows the craft, he follows directions he doesn't make his own rules and if he does they exceed and go above and beyond than what the process calls for. This guy gives you your money's worth. I hope he is as good of a businessman as he is an autobody tech and instructor.

    Man. I love a good teacher. Broke this all the way down. I just might have the confidence to do this on my own. Thank you!

    I've been chipping away at my 92 Dodge D350 for weeks now and this video answered every question or 2nd guessing I had. Great vid. Keep the content coming.
  • @oacumulador

  • @lonestarlows
    Stumbled on the channel. I use pretty much the exact same process now. Just a different epoxy. If I had seen this video 10yrs ago it would have saved me a ton of heartache. Great info in here. Thanks for uplpad

    You're an amazing teacher, I know you said PPE is important, that being said, voice over is an option so that you don't have to take chances with your health. Thanks for the education and inspiration.
  • @jeffjames1743
    Great video! Thanks for all the tips, this is the best video on this on YouTube!
  • @Mark-um7ey
    Great video from someone who clearly knows what he is doing. Not the most glamorous part of the paint process but separates quality paint work from cave and pavers that last until the check clears the bank.
  • @MrCbell57
    Just watched part one. I am very pleased that you give out great information but you don’t come across as a know it all and your way is the only way to do this body work. Many do and what’s wrong with that is they are generally wrong when they say they know what they are talking about. So the world hears about how to do things the wrong way based on someone regurgitating their bad habits and bad information. And at the same time qdeclaring themselves a genius to boot. Keep up the good work and continue down the path to helping others. We need more people like you. :) a breath of fresh air.
