MrFireman164 yes it takes time but I'd still rather do metal work then body work, I know that I went through hours and hours of sanding but I guess that's the way it goes
this is my first time stumbling onto this page. i know nothing about body work but i am a tinkerer and have a good mechanical sense. this guy is awesome. borderline artist with this. i wish i knew how to weld and do all this stuff. looks like a pain in the ass yet really rewarding at the same time. subscribed.
Fantastic! I try to do that same job in a 69 C10 without testing first , with the fender on and frame rubber mounting , and fail aligning later. Finally found another door and replaced.
I would rather watch this guy then the clowns on Fasts and Loud and Misfits garage. Here you learn something from a craftsman. Look how clean and organized his shop is.
~ Awesome, with you showing us those 12" marks and that cardboard cutout, you just told me everything I I've been wondering and worrying about for when I start doing mine so thank you so much!!!! 😎👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks very much for the video, just bought a '68 F100 that needs a couple of large rust holes patched in the bed. Being delivered tomorrow so I'm trying to learn something before I get started. Looks like I came to the right place.
followed your previous series, and gained alot from your videos. sheet metal work is NOT easy work. it's a craft that is time consuming and demands patience. thanks for putting these videos together, you have helped me immeasurably with my project (78 Bronco).
nice, wish I had seen that when I was doing my passenger door, got wavy and I just gave up and bought some.... may try my drivers now , thanks for taking the time to do that!
Bloody brilliant work there mate. I'm going to do the same repair on an old ford transit van which I'm restoring but no way will it be anywhere as good as your work. Thanks for the door repairing lesson.
This is perfect. I am thinking, that for many old cars, it would be easier to just cut out big chunks of the car and repair or replace them, then to work with every small hole and that work with small holes would be endless and they would reappear elsewhere in small time. This whole process brought to my mind, that maybe it would be good to cut out big chunks, than clean them, cover them with a thick layer of solder through a torch (that would add thickness and reinforce them for many years and protect from rust) and then fill holes in the metal, fix any bends that would appear due to heat and reattach the chunks. This would at least save the cost of trying to get new parts.
So much tedious work. Excellent, thank you for taking the time to post. Very good and useful information. Will definitely help my welding techniques on restoring our 73 VW Superbeetle. Thanks again !
Really like the way you make videos. You show all the work and keep the talkin to a minimum. For someone like me who's trying to learn how to do this kind of work these videos are the best. Keep em comin.
Great channel. They are very educational for those of us that have not done anything like this. My grandson and I are working on a 63 Mercury 100. I have watched a lot of your video's more than once. My grandson has a channel called 63 Mercury! He is trying to share our progress and learnings as we go. We are hoping to encourage others to start their projects as well.
"Ok, here we go!" I know when I hear that I'm about to see some Excellent video instruction. I'm about to purchase a rusty old Fiat and trying to get a feel for whats in store. Gibson63 showed me more in 24 minutes than Eastwood videos did in 2 hours.
The clamps he uses to hold the patch panel to the door skin are called panel clamps, sold at harbor freight (cheapest) and others like eastwood. They can be bought online. I use them all the time, probably have 100.
I am so wanting a wide steel/tin break and a British wheel to just have made that entire skin one piece. Have found so many plans online and I'm fighting the "I HAVE NO MONEY TO BUILD ONE" impulse LOL ! Fun video and love the Father Son factor, good for You guys. EDIT: PS, looks good !
Real-world problem solving. I learned a lot from this - many thanks for posting it. (I need to sort out my own workshop to be as neat and clean as yours.)
You are helping me get my 69' Chevy Panel work done and I'm curious what does the hammering and dollying do after each spot weld? i truly thanks youu for posting this my door is coming along.
Thanks for sharing Mate,I am about to fit a couple of 34 pickup door skins and your work has really helped,patience,patience,patience is what I have taken from your video,something I don't really have but need !
Hey guy you really good dude I enjoyed watching you remind me of my uncle he used to build old trucks keep on digging man I just subscribed to your channel
you know what if found out. When it comes installing the doors like that. it is easy to do it by yourself if you just put the door up and latch it closed. it stays closed so you can put the hinge bolts in.
Thanks for all of your very informative videos. The metal work takes a lot of time, but that's where it's at. Nice work on this door skin. If you don't mind my asking, what size wire are you running?
Most people have no idea how much work that is , also how time consuming . Thanks for showing your great work.
MrFireman164 yes it takes time but I'd still rather do metal work then body work, I know that I went through hours and hours of sanding but I guess that's the way it goes
Great work and the videos are priceless!! GREAT JOB BROTHER!

Melonheadinbed Hey man thanks for watching should have some more videos up soon
Fantastic! I try to do that same job in a 69 C10 without testing first , with the fender on and frame rubber mounting , and fail aligning later. Finally found another door and replaced.
Great video. Got some good pointers there to help me tackle the lower skins on my 66 c10
Fantastic video wanted see more, absolute professional presentation very clean craftsman/tradesman skilled and concise (John from Cairns Australia)

Agree - I noticed that too.
At 5:08 I thought he'd found a bee hive when he took the panel off; free honey as a bonus!
Yep, You can tell a lot about a guy's attention to detail by the condition of their workspace.
Well done..... No big show effects... Just real with an awesome result.... This helps me to improve... Thank you sir!! Greetz from Germany
~ Awesome, with you showing us those 12" marks and that cardboard cutout, you just told me everything I I've been wondering and worrying about for when I start doing mine so thank you so much!!!! 😎👍🏻🇨🇦
I tried this same repair and buggered it up. Now I will try the weld, grind, weld grind method used here. Thanks for the video Gibson63!

Glad I watched this, I learned to SLOW down when welding...hopefully I will get less warp...thanks !

That’s best I’ve ever seen. That takes skill to weld sheet metal and keep everything in line. You are very skilled!
nice, wish I had seen that when I was doing my passenger door, got wavy and I just gave up and bought some.... may try my drivers now , thanks for taking the time to do that!
Gibson, awesome work and thanks for taking the time to make the videos.

I wish I could come and work with you for about two weeks to try and learn some of what you know, I watch all your videos and am a subscriber
Awesome job enjoy watching you work Anna looks great
You are the BEST man!!!! Congratulations from ARGENTINA

Thanks for the great video,big fan of your work. Just a real guy in a real workshop doing a great job of things.
You have showed me so many pointers on your videos that I have used on my 53 3100 and 79 z28 rebuilds. Thanks again
K B Cool man thanks
Greatly appreciate your videos. Finally got my 63 big window, long bed. Thanks for the lessons...I will put them to work.
Very nice, as said by others, clean and organized. Good clear instruction and patient approach.

Your metalworking is excellent & you don't play around. You got the right energy level to be a house framer.

very glad you showed about that arch in the outer skin , i was wondering if it was supposed to be there .
Great to see your work. I am going to fix up a rust bucket Dodge and I'm real glad to see how it's done.
Dean Winchell Thanks for watching
you really make it look easy ! coming along nicely, appreciate the great videos !
Digging the vids. I enjoy watching the step by step repairs.
This came in super handy when doing the doors on my 65. Thank you.
I hope your friends keep sending you rusty 63 pickups. I really enjoy the videos
Solid video mate
"... ain't lookin' too bad ..." humble notion, Gibson63! Humble notion. Wish I was already that far in learning tin ...
very good,well explained i learned something.
That door is really turning out nice. Lots of work.
Nice work!
On a real note this guy is way underrated keep it up man👌
Really like the way you work! Loved watching.. now to try it! Keep these coming I would become a patron!$$!

Thanks for continuing to post. I enjoy every video. Thanks.
Kickass video. Thanks for sharing!
A pleasure to watch, you made a really nice job there (watching from uk)!
Doing an awesome job. Keep hammering away!!!!
Very nice work. I wish they made those bottom panels for my 69 camaro. I had to fab some and that was a pain in the butt.
As always brother I've enjoyed watching these videos and your awesome work !
Hermen Lomas Thanks

Gary W Thanks for watching
That looks so good, and it is awesome work you are doing.
Sweet!
Mike
I enjoy your work...great video!
You did a really nice job.
Have you explored tig welding for heat control? Im looking at possibly getting a tig welding set up for body work. Thank you for the great videos.
great work man, you're so patient..
Gibby you rock man. I'm kinda a perfectionist too. I can appreciate your quality and detailed explanation on every job on this old classic!
Great video, no BS, just the way I like it.
Love it!! Looks better than professional!!
Dam good work
Really great work, thanks for sharing :)!
Hey guy you really good dude I enjoyed watching you remind me of my uncle he used to build old trucks keep on digging man I just subscribed to your channel
Thanks man
such a perfectionist. awesome work.
I wish you would stop apologising. You do good work.
Those guys on TV are fake this man is for real I know I have four sons and we do this also your awesome Mr Gibson😜
This is a great tutorial
This is fantastic body work ! unless you've ever tried to fit factory press work, you have no idea about the fitting of re-paneling ! It's a bugger!
Gibson.... Do yourself a favor and buy some Klean Strip Prep & Etch... It will convert all the rust for pennies. Nice Truck!
I wish I had that much patience. Of course it doesn't help when your wife is bitching about her car being outside!
Thanks for the video! What did you use to treat the rust inside the door after cutting the bottom out? How has the door held up since the repair?
great video man truck is looking good
Great work. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful work. That wasn’t easy!
Wow.... Excellent work!
Good stuff dude. You should take some of the money you make on this project and get yourself a plasma cutter. A guy like you needs one in his life
Ozzstar that would be something to look into thanks
Your kid is thinking...yes that accounting program is looking pretty awesome.
you know what if found out. When it comes installing the doors like that. it is easy to do it by yourself if you just put the door up and latch it closed. it stays closed so you can put the hinge bolts in.
Great job. Where is the next video?
Great video. Hey can you list the tools you use? The grinder, dolly, hammer, etc.
Thanks for all of your very informative videos. The metal work takes a lot of time, but that's where it's at. Nice work on this door skin. If you don't mind my asking, what size wire are you running?
Captainfab406 Thanks man I running .025
THANK YOU...for sharing.
