After watching the recap I am amazed you still have all your fingers and hands! Thankfully! (I have a lot of experience with dangerous equipment,) The journey should be a pleasant one(perspective is important), but also the destination will be sweet, especially if you have all the parts of your hands to shift gears and steer with! You’re doing a great job so far! Keep it up!👍🏻
I love watching your progression. Each lesson you learn applies to the next step and you just keep getting better and things get easier in time man. You are doing an extremely great job learning and creating. The skills you gain from this are invaluable and will allow you options for growth as you move through life. Thanks for the update!
Can't wait for the next video and I hope it's soon. I've got about a year until I'll be in a spot where I can start looking for my own 280 and your videos are an inspiration!
Young Man do not worry about what is a Damn Fine Job,the only issue i have is the where you stuck the rod in the corner i think you were and are capable of welding the gap you had all you had to do was turn your heat down a bit to run a root pass and the you could have joined them Both you are an Awesome Young Builder Keep Up the Great Work
That 'gap is too wide' has happened to me a couple of times during my first restoration project (now halfway), a properly rusted Lancia Fulvia. You'll be very proud when it's all done.
Great video, no talking, just work. I'm in the middle of restoring a 240, and no other way to get better at welding than just going out and doing it. BTW, I like your welds.
I do the same as you. I get really creative when I don't have the "proper" tools. If you do it for living or it's absolutely necessary, you should invest in it. Or if it's a one or two off, but you want "perfection," then a pay a pro for that piece work. If not, improvise. That's my philosophy.
When you grind, try to keep the disc as parallel to the metal as possible. This keeps from "gouging" the metal... good work. Your skills are greatly improving. This helps motivate me to fix my 510... thanks!
I'm sure it's obvious but what's the copper spray? PS. I bought the steel to make a table. I had the idea but seeing you do it pushed me to try. So thanks.
Hey man wishing you the best of luck and your videos will definitely help me. I just picked up a 1977 280z over the weekend. I plan on tackling the rust issues first in hopes of stopping the spread and seeing what I have to deal with. Do you have IG?
Mate great work! Glad to see you’re back on the tools. I will be doing a lot of this work on my 240z, so good to see how someone else is doing it. Any reason you didn’t tack it up in place then finish the welding on the bench? Would have avoided the upside down welding! I messaged you before from my other account, did you look into cold rolled steel as I suggested?
Maybe? I honestly kind of did it this way so I get some hands on learning, but I don't actually know if they make square tubing this large. I got a lot more frame pieces to make, so I'll look next time.
@@RestorationForBeginners I work with welders who have won the Riddler award multiple times which is the highest award in custom car building and the metal finish aka grind their welds to where you never know they are there. Keep it up man, your on a good track.

Thank you! I'm being much more careful now!
Only 3 minutes in and I love the music choices. Glad to see you're still at it. Gives me hope with my '74.

Thanks for sharing I am going to start work on my 1979 280zx 2+2 soon Thanks for the Motivation.
Progress is the name of the game 😤😤, completing ANYTHING on my 78' gets me excited
For sure. Little bit at a time =)

Great job so far. As someone who just started learning how to weld, I feel your pain🙂. Compliments on the music btw, very relaxing!

my man 👊I like the resourcefulness and the fun attitude - subscribed
Dude I'm catching up! Been following sense the first video of this build!

I enjoyed the piano and the video!!
Glad you're posting vids again.
Yessir, never quit!

It's hard to keep steady hands and make pretty welds... Thank you!
@@RestorationForBeginners practice, practice, practice. Do short runs, and brace your hand or arm on something. Auto lenses help a lot too.
The Classical music ties in well with your content.
good to see you again
I'm sure it's obvious but what's the copper spray? PS. I bought the steel to make a table. I had the idea but seeing you do it pushed me to try. So thanks.
Good job brother
Great work, keep up the great videos, and btw no need for extra filler material, that gap was weldable, great work though, way to improvise!
Cool!
finaly a video
I’ve seen worse welds (in my own garage). Don’t beat yourself up.
haha this welding thing is hard to make look good.

Oh man..
Good job on your 240Z.
very impressed :)
If doing it all over again, would using mitered, thin-wall square tubing for that piece be worthwhile?
Maybe? I honestly kind of did it this way so I get some hands on learning, but I don't actually know if they make square tubing this large. I got a lot more frame pieces to make, so I'll look next time.
💪🏼👍🏻
hey buddy, nice work, you're really going hard. Why did you replace front section?
Can I ask what you use on that angle grinder to remove the rust and paint??
Did you coat it inside with anything or no need for stuff like this?
I will coat the inside after the whole thing has been acid dipped. I made some drain holes that I can use to do that later.
The title is spot one.
For beginners..
I appreciate your DIY approach.
But. If you grind welds. You are not a welder.
I think you mean "You are not a GOOD welder" haha
