    I watch all of Mcbersma's vids too, and really enjoy the restoration of his project. But I agree that the bodyman doing the cutting & welding is wasting so many "still good" metal parts that barely have just surface rust on them. Perhaps he is going for the "show quality" restoration look? Shoot, I would buy all of those good panels from him the guy is cutting off of it for my Bus project!

    I use a .024 wire on pannels, the heat is low enough to run short continuous welds.

    I use a 3 phase Miller Mig welder with a feeder head. I use .035 wire (it's older than mummy dust but works great). Sheet metal is "fun" to weld.

      man that sucker must rock. probably weld all day and never overheat that one.

      @@Mikefngarage It's an industrial welder. It's awesome to use until you get the electric bill. I've welded up to 1" with it .. anything thinner than header tubing gets interesting.. .035 is the smallest it can run.

    Hi Mike.
    Happy New year mate.
    You have opened my eyes with the panel adhesive.
    I may use it for my floors.
    Although cost may be an issue.
    Did you use 2 tubes.
    What was the cost?

    • @Mikefngarage
      @Mikefngarage  Před 4 lety +2

      works great. but you are a really good welder. your stuff is great making those floors will be some work but I know you can do it. the tubes on ebay are 38 usd. and the gun is about 50 usd. check to see if they are available in au on ebay.

      @@MikefngarageI have actually had a set of bead roller dies made that match the beads on all the floors.
      So my plan was to manufacture all the floors.
      But welding them in isn't a big deal for me.
      But I can see the benefit of just gliding in.
      You still have to weld around the entire edge so it's really only saving the rosette welds inside the floor area that are glued.
      Did you look at the video I have asking the question about the strange vents I have on the roof?

    A 2-part adhesive is probably nowhere near as unhealthy as a solvent-based adhesive.

    • @Mikefngarage
      @Mikefngarage  Před 4 lety +1

      I dont really smell anything with it. not sure what solvent if any.

    New cars are built with pannel adehsive because its cheaper, not because its better. Yes it is a newer tech and it is impresive what it can do but cars are treated by most as a throw away commodity now adays built to last 15 - 20 years tops, manafactures have no intrest in building then to last longer as there is no money in it to have their old cars still on the road that long. With that in mind i would like to point out that no pannel bonded vehicle is going to last 50+ years like the bus in this video has already managed to survive. Last thing worth mentioning is that if you do want to use pannel bond, you should use it in beads as it comes out the gun and not spead it with a brush as spreading it thin like that this will weaken the bond "alot", i would be supprised if those joint last 10 years.

    There is a reason why good restoration shops charge big money for their metalwork.....they usually do not hack their type 2's back together with "adhesives".

    Great video. Wondering why you used screws in addition to the panel adhesive. I watched another one of your videos doing a similar job, and you did not use screws. Just clamps and weights. Are the screws necessary?

  • @sigmanfloyd7179
    @sigmanfloyd7179 Před rokem +1

    ~ Question: Did you use self tapping screws or did you pre-screw while using clamps?

    • @Mikefngarage
      @Mikefngarage  Před rokem +1

      Yes I used self drilling screws. set them in place and screwed them 1 time. With the panel adhesive you can still jog them around. Pre fit the floors first then apply adhesive then screw them down. clamp them where you dont want screws. FYI when you weld up those holes the adhesive is not there anymore in those areas. So dont put too many screws. just enough to get them down flat. after it is dry remove the screws and use a drill bit to clean the lower layer. then weld up the drill holes. make sure to penetrate to both layers

    Mike Fn Garage the seam on the door, do you just put filler or seam sealer between the weld spots or will you eventually stitch that whole weld together? im a newb btw

    What kind of seam sealer do you use? Also what’s a good panel adhesive? Just curious

      a few different sealers and some unconventional ones I will show maybe in a future video of this build. 3m panel bonding adhesive
