Professional Bodyshop Said This Was a Total Loss! Amateur Rust Repair.

We are back with more extreme rust repair on the 1966 Chevy truck. It's time to replace the floor, rocker panel, cab corner, firewall, etc, on the drivers side. Also, a quick tutorial on plug welding sheetmetal with the Mig.

You do excellent work and I always enjoy it. The Plymouth Road Runner was a fine car.. and the first music you put on was the best..I'm an avid fan..and I'm 85 watching your program and taking care of my semi invalid wife of 62 yrs Paul in Ohio..

The addition of the musical interlude provides a nice touch to your informative videos. Thank you.

Thank you for today's video Kyle. It has made me realise that poor life choices and apathy aren't something I should be ashamed of.

Yea.... about that mob... you owe me for the catering and port-o-pottys. On a completely unrelated note... Last week I had my first experience with a modern mig welder and thanks to your videos it all went very well, for a beginner. I followed your teachings by first tossing every tool I own on the floor and mixing them toughly with the garbage. I had my doubts but I got excellent results. Cheers from the Shed

"Self tappers, grinder, seam sealer - throw some bonds over it.." you just described 90% of the "restoration" work I've seen lately.. Great job on those rockers and floor sections. I've been enjoying this series a lot! Thanks!

Take it for what it's worth. You are a true craftsman and I am impressed at your attack on this rust bucket. Great video

[roog]

Don't understand why this channel is not more popular. It ticks all the YouTube boxes: cats, drama, welding and grinding, sarcasm, ...

[robinimpey]

If your truck identifies as rust free, then it is. Job done! 👌

[paulhedman]

I'm glad to hear that you and Shed by the tracks have come to an understanding. I may have given him a piece of my mind, if I did it was more likely than not, something backing your point of view. Just doing what I can to promote world peace.

I remember replacing rusted out body metal using sheet metal screws and new metal then covering the inside with tar. That was before we could afford a oxy acetylene torch. MIG welders were just a dream back then.

[erichutchins]

That was a beautiful Road Runner! Those self installing body panels must be pricey. Thanks as always.

[claudemarois]

I admire your work, so inspiring and educational !

[jaywebb]

I really love the yellow wheels for some odd reason it works very well. Very nice car.

[russdavis]

I'm only speaking (typing) for myself when I express the following

Thus far, I have not been bored nor tired of watching the cutting, welding, grinding on THIS project or any other that you have shared on video.

My only regret is I dove into my 'project' before you started your channel. I can now detect some of the ways i should have went about my repairs.

My next 'project' will be more in line of what I have learned from watching your channel.

Thanks Kyle.

As always, a very entertaining video. Poe appears to be increasing his bread tie skills.

[roadmasterk]

Very impressive, this upload… Glad to see your Patreon list growing!

[jamesblake]

You do the amazing work very good fabricator and welder

[deaconblue]

I really enjoyed watching the cats trying to fit a patch panel onto the wooden floor!

[paulkravitz]

Watching you work make me miss fixing old junk .

[JourneymanRandy]

I'll never get tired of looking at those trucks. Nice work Kyle.
