Why dont they have the lower fender patch for the 2008 ram?

Yes flux core is tricky. Next time. Turn down the heat. And don’t weld so far away, bring the trigger right up to the seam and “stitch it together”.

Pretty bold to weld for the first time on video lmao. Those were bad welds

Your gonna warp it slow down use some wet rags to cool off welded sections

What about the inside that you cut off?

I'm about ready to do this. You can buy the inner arch. To me, o don't understand why he didn't repair that as well. Salt and dirt is going to rust that whole panel ... at least buy a plastic liner and rust convert, undercoat what's left of the arch.

U didn't replace the inner fender well?

Bro there's no way you save that STX sticker Bodywork is new for you hey

One good trick if you're painting from the body line down is to spray on chip guard from the bottom up a few inches the whole length. It's textured, goes on super easy, covers mistakes very well and takes paint without drips...which doesn't really matter because it hides drips.

This video has me worried.

hi sorry your welding is atrocious and way to much heat in one place maybe this was a how not to video ?

Great informative Video, you'll have much cleaner welds with a tig or mig welding setup, basically anything that uses a shielding gas...But sometimes we need to use what we have on hand/ what we know how to use in DIY jobs and a flux or even a stick welder can get the job done as you demonstrate in the video, a grinder and bondo will cover up all the imperfections...nice job

Stick would be a real challenge😂

What about the inner wheel fender you butchered? I just did mine on Silverado and I rebuilt the rust edge instead of replacing inner.

flux core can be used in a better manner, if using a flux core, prob best to brush off the dust after each tack weld, it can be done

Definitely using Flux core. That panel will pop back through if he didn't weld it up tight all around the panel

Why didn't you repair the arch that's rusted away???

Well said as always

No square corners on your patch panel.Round them off then weld.Makes for a way better job.And use a mig (gas not flux core)welder.

Where is the 2nd part of this? Seeing him do this for a company makes me feel better. I'm not a great welder myself but this was hilarious... if you arnt gonna weld the whole thing then you would be better off over laping the metal and using body panel epoxy then bondo. That's gonna pop and prolly be wavy as hell since you only wanna do spot welds in separate locations till it's full so you dont heat the metal and warp it. I really feel better about my welding now

Gasless flux core seems like an odd choice of wire for this

What kind of wire did you use

could have cleaned that inner and at least throw some spray paint on it and your welding sucks worse than mine does. Keep on practicing you will get better.Later, Bill in w mich

I was unsure of my competence level before watching this. Not no more!

8:06 “it’s lookin pretty good” 😅

This dude has no idea how to weld. The stick out on his wire and his tacks proves my point.

I feel really great about my welding skills now

Holy waaaavvvvyyyy panel there bud, supposed to randomly spot weld around panel switching from side to side till the whole seam is done....move around ALOT to keep heat down and not warp panel...nd flux core is WORST choice to do body panels with, get gas shielded for gods sake!

Your welding to far away

Is it possible to do this job with pop rivets? I would like to attempt this but I don't have a welder.

@caseyedds2032

There’s a whole method that involves adhesives. That’s the ticket if you don’t have a welder. Look into “rust repair with glue in panels”. Or somthing similar.

I have seen it done by overlap, with pop rivets, or sheet metal screws, grinding heads off. Plus brazed with torch

WTF did I just watch?

What about the inner side. No one is showing what to do with that or just leave a giant gap ? Seriously no one makes a damn tutorial from a to z and only showin the easy parts. Why make a video only giving half the info ?

@@TRQ That would be awesome,and dont know if a premier but i did not found a single guide on what to do with the inner wheel arch if rotten,how is the inner fender joined to the outer fender,is it welded,glued,screwed or just folded on it. How to rebuild it to what size how to size it,make before or after the outer shell. It is a really important piece but i guess boring to show how to fix it and would make a long video which people wouldnt watch i guess.

Most people leave the inner panel alone. I intend to. It’s not visible, and leaving it open will prevent future rust, since salt will rinse and run off. Just be sure to spray rust reformer/undercoating in there before you weld the outer panel on.

Nice but mig instead of flux-core would of been cleaner and easier.

This video sucks, the welding tip is protruding way to far out of the cup. He is holding the welder to far away from the metal and he's either not got the gas on or he's using Flux core which is not good for auto panels. His welding sucks, and hes not actually weldingnthe entire seem. Terrible video once the welding starts!
