Beginning Fabrication - Episode 17 - Transferring holes! Final episode of the series.
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 5 lety
In this episode I show how I mark/transfer holes that have to overlay each other. There's many ways to do this but this is a way I use fairly often and doesn't need any fancy tools or accurate measurements. This is the last episode of this series for now. I may do another season one day but I think there's plenty of other good youtube vids that can take it from here. I really wanted to cover th...

I've had a few people asking me to show more about the bead roller and english wheel but there's already a lot o...
A slideshow showing how an XY got saved from the scrap heap!
zhlédnutí 66KPřed 6 lety
This slideshow shows a job I did a few years ago to save an XY Falcon from becoming dust. It's a pretty brief look as there were so many repairs needed the slideshow would be three hours long to show it all. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it makes you feel good knowing your car (hopefully) isn't as buggered as this was. I used aftermarket door skins, outer sills, front floors, front guards and ...

    Love it the whole thing is beautiful I’ve done similar to a xr not xy falcon I remade the whole rear speaker panel on the bead roller and rear window opening sections like yours my quarter panels and A pillars were ok i put the car on a chassis rack measured the side lengths to hold the gaps with chains while I remade new inner sill panels put the beads in the same spots as the old rusted ones repaired the inner talk boxes while front floor pans were out one side at a time replaced the whole inner sill then the outer sill panels I found by welding small pull tabs on the tops of outer sill I used a pull clamp and slide hammer to get the outer sills to go up back in line with the bottom of the pillars and rear dog legs then tack welded them in place trial fitted the doors then welded the outer sills in place was a huge job after that I welded all new floor pans in I was lucky my xr falcon wasn’t as rusted as your xy .. love seeing someone else doing a good job man
