how to do rust repair part 3, 1967 to 1972 rocker panel

[VinnyMartello]

Great job! This gives me confidence that I can do the rockers on my '64 truck. It's similar enough to the '69 so I get the idea. Thanks for the knowledge!

Hey I have a Suburban I want to do this too. Im pretty sure I will have to line up both doors, cuz that just makes sense, but would you line up the front door first and work your way back or how would you tackle it? Any advice will be much appreciated. Awesome videos too, I learned a lot! Keep up the good work, cant wait to see more! 

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@Calplaya rebuild door hinges cut out old metal and line up one side at a time i would think have not done a sub yet so not totaly sure send pics or vid if you need more help

thanks dave

[mobilehotrodrepair]

i normally shoot bed liner kit with hardner in there after everything is painted 

[jeepers2655]

do you coat inside new rocker or let him spray coating through a hole underneath?

[VinnyMartello]

@jeepers2655 When it come to prep, it can be done a few ways. One way (my suggestion) is put some weld-thru primer around your welding area (over bare metal) and have paint wherever you aren't welding as a means of stopping rust. I will take some time but stopping rust is the hot rodder's mission. And make sure your metal is so clean you could eat off it before you paint/weld!

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@nathanlorimer before you do that next truck check out the new video.

how to do rust repair on a 67 to 72 chevy truck day 1 . i cut alot more than the rockers away do a complete line up with hood and all. if the budget makes it we are going with air bags, drop disc brakes, duel master with booster, aluminum gas tank, rust repair on the doors, drip rail, and a bunch of other stuff that i forget right now

[chxheart]

good info .. i would totally pay you to restore my 67 chevy truck ...but i love working on it myself ..much respect for your work!

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@chxheart your the guy i made the video for

thanks dave

[mobilehotrodrepair]

thanks for the taking the time to say thanks. each video takes me about 5 hours to do it nice to know im helping somebody. ive got video on a 60 to 66 truck in the can but dont know when i can find the time to edit. i see what i can do

thankd dave

[TheWhiteNoyz]

Thanks for the vid. I just started on a 61 apache stepside Ive had for over 13 years now. Got out of dirt track racing so this is my new hobby. The truck is all there and ok shape. But pulling everything off frame, for the new panels I made need this video really shows how to do it. Thanks.

[mobilehotrodrepair]

go with thin wire .025 increase argon pressure to about 25 may 30 depending on how good of a weld your getting. weld in one short burst like you do when your tack welding something. line up all your panels first dont weld anything toghether just tack weld after your sure its all good then finish your welds

[pitchingwedge1]

Awsome vid dude. Im new to welding body pannels and I have 69 c10 that needs everything from cab corners to full rockers. I have been running practice welds on some old pannels only to find out .....well its not that easy. Give me 1/4 inch and i can weld all day. Okay what pannel do I start with first? And what kind of welding tips can you give me? Thanks

[Metman2J]

About how many total hours of labor is it to replace left and right rocker panels and repair holes (US Size 13 Shoe sized) in the floor?

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@Metman2J each video you see takes is about 5 to 6 hours of work the total hours to do the repairs you see in this repair took about 16 hours. the larger the hole the longer it takes but only an extra hour or two normally

thanks dave

[toddbarksdale]

I love the videos, but if I sent you some gloves would you wear them?

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@toddbarksdale i should wear glove but i need to feel the metal and if the hot metal slides down insde it hurts but if you got some new cool gloves or something i might. are you a glove salesman?

[JamesKim13]

Very nice and clean patch install. Sweeping the floor every time he grinds and look how clean the workshop floor is! now that's real professionalism!

[mobilehotrodrepair]

@JamesKim13 i wish i could say i was really clean but i just do it to keep metal shavings from sticking into my knees

[aknowneemus]

dude, great job! But my knees are killin me just watching you kneel on that hard cement ha ha. I've got a '72 longorn truck, these videos are valuable.

[mobilehotrodrepair]
