Thank you , and its a pleasure to work alongside him
I just recently switched over to new safety glasses/goggles by iforce and it makes work so much easier. The glasses have a seal that prevent anything from getting into your eyes and they are anti fog . So no matter whether I'm under a bed loosening bed bolts (work trucks caked with dirt) or grinding down welds, these glasses do amazing. I do have a face shield but it can be bulky at times so I hardly ever use it now after purchasing these. Total game changer!

I might have to check those out the face shield can be pretty annoying and if the lens is scratched it even impairs you visibility
The ProSpot PHS-101 is definitely a versatile tool. Not really for home shop use however as the average sell price online is around the $12,000 mark. Love your channel though ! Keep up the great content.
Rain X anti fog. I use it with those shields and with my welding helmet. Really works

Regarding face mask fogging up …. just watched a video yesterday where the user suggested using 'RAINX INTERIOR GLASS ANTIFOG' on the inside of his mask. He claims it solves the fogging problem. I have not tried it yet but will very soon. Good luck and nice work!

Take a drop or two of Dawn on a microfiber cloth and wipe it on the inside of your face shield. Just buff it in and it will not fog up on you. 👍

What’s your opinion on using a used bed side panel from a junk yard truck bed for a bed side panel replacement instead of a new one from GM.
@AutoWizard94
4 жыл бұрын
Well I know they’re cheaper , it’s more work you have to drill it out and then run the risk of damaging the panel when you’re removing the used one with all the adhesive it has behind it then when being applied it’s higher chances of it rusting on you if not properly sealed and painted

So as far as preparation are you just grinding the outside pieces where the welder clamps onto or are you grinding in between as well.

The way they came and taught us was that you grind/ clean the panel and the panel that's attached to the body of the car

how hot did you set your welder to get that done without warping the metal?

Our Spot welder self adjust , measures the metal thickness and works accordingly to get the best weld.
Awesome repair dude !! Looks clean but how do you know where to spot weld it exactly? Or are those just random spots
