I'm 77 and I learn something every time I watch your videos. See even old dogs can learn new tricks. Thanks

When I was 15 back in the mid 70's my Dad entered me in a competition as from the age of 13 was doing body work repairing rust. You had to choose the repair you was going to do. My choice that most people won't know unless from the UK was a Hillman Hunter front head light wing repair. What ever you did would have to paint and finish both sides! I was so proud to win being the only teenager and all judges picked the wrong side. No it didn't make me a big head just pushed me to be better at the next repair, and boy was it a ride people expecting perfection every time.

When you're capable of the super awesome perfectionist work, it's easy to leave the "real people" repairs behind. Thanks for keeping your channel down to earth, and sharing all the great tips & tricks for the regular stuff, along with the ultra-slick Kustom work. Great channel!

I was half-expecting the old "cut-n-butt" here as a part of your "stack a tack". Looks good.

Karl, this is so spot on for the DIY guy and what are real world types of repair.. Can't say enough about what you do, how you share so freely, and the skills you bring to the channel. This episode is a real good lesson on rust repair, that I for one can apply to the project in my shop.. Thanks.

Absolute minute you brought the patch over to the roller & it became apparent there was a no-go on using it, I got enthused bigtime, because I knew what THAT meant. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[davida]

Thank you for teaching us your skill. Love metal work. Learning all the time.

[philho]

Good Timing! I recently thought I should continue my "regular people stuff" project that I have neglected for far too long. Thank you very much for refreshing the theory - now I have to do the practice...

[littleredridinghood]

Very good job .. I live in Nova Scotia I follow "Fitzee's Fabrications" he is a genius at making/installing repair panels to the point where 0 body fill is needed ...

[stevenlane]

Great video. I love how your videos are unscripted, you are taking us along the repair journey with no BS, just sharing your knowledge.
Thank you.

[dwisejm]

You are a true fab rat, in the most respectful way, for a guy of your age it's amazing how you get it done with sometimes homemade tools, it's a pleasure to watch your brain work

[FordGuy]

Another great video and super relevant. I really appreciate the “regular guy” approach - makes complex problems a lot less daunting and opens the hobby up even more. Thank you

[knowbullhit]

You have the best tips and videos when it comes to sheetmetal work! Thank you

[francisrampen]

I am a sheet metal idiot and watching you do your thing is really helpful. I am in the process of restoring a 1953 Citroen so this is all great grain for the mill. Thanks again for sharing your process. Super useful

I’m so glad I found you on here. The simple approach to fixing cars using basic tools we have in our garage is exactly what I need.
I’m a trim carpenter by trade and we do quite a bit of custom work. It’s interesting to see the crossover in fabrication. The way you explain how to do things makes perfect sense in my mind.

Working with metal is a whole new world for me, and seeing you break things down and explain them make me feel like I can handle the curveballs this ‘75 El Camino we inherited is throwing at us! I love working with my hands, and stepping into this world of metal work feels like I should have done this decades ago! Thank you so much for making videos that even a regular guy in a small garage with basic tools can breathe life back into this project. With your help, we are bringing the Elky back to life! 🙏

[johnfields]

Glad to hear that you're going to do some sheetmetal work every week. Love it how you make it so "simple"!

[MrLangleylad]

I enjoy all of your videos but these types of videos we can all learn from and put to use. Thanks man .

[koolkar]

PERFECT! as I've come to expect with your work Karl. You are also a great teacher of your trade Mate. Thanks always for sharing your talent. Cheers. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
