Soldadura Y Trabajo En Metal/welding And Body Work - Parte 1

Well, as you can see, i had some problems with the weather During some heavy rains, all my things got wet and several rusted pretty bad Here you can see some work I been doing As you can see, is all back because of the rust converter That is the part I welded, and its a little rusted too The sanding discs also got wet, but they are still usable i think The masking paper too The metal parts I did also got rusted not to mention the big sheet metal where they come from so thats more work for me, because now im gonna have to clean the metal sheet every time i want to do a new piece Here are the dollies rusted too So thats the evil water, and..... I have to work around the car too, the walls they are covered with plastic, and during some heavy rains the water just passed to the car and it rusted a lot actually. So this is what I've been doing Here im trying to fit the piece i did Trying to align all the edges Using hammer and dolly or a part of rail line Trying to fit it so I dont have any trouble with it Here im just learning as I hammer the part I just hit the side I think its going to give the right shape and test the part in the car. Here I have the part already cutted watching it to fit the best I can As you can see there are some edges that still doesnt fit well So with my tool i wear the edges down so it can fit well Im using the lowest (A) I can with this stick wich are approximately 30 A, with 6013 electrodes And as you can see it doesnt look too good Its still better than the previous work on the car But takes a lot of work to do it because its hard not to burn holes through the sheet metal Its not the same as when I was welding on my workbench Its different on the car, a lot of things can change the quality of the weld. Here Im taking off another part that was rusted It was rusted on the inside, so i cutted the sides And then sanded the paint down so I can see the spot weld Because just there was a spot weld Here im marking the center of the spot weld so I can use this special drill bit to take the spot weld off Actually you can use any drill bit if you are not worried about making a hole through both sheets In my case i just wanted to drill one sheet So as you can see the tip of the bit is flat You have to be very careful to make the hole just in the center of the spot weld Because if its not centered, the spot weld its not gonna come out, and you can just drill another hole next to the first. So I had to figure out a way to take it out without damaging the back sheet, it still got cut a little It was a little hard, I had to hammer it back to its original shape and try to drill a little more to take the spot weld out. To make the part i just take out, first I've shape it from a 1 mm thick metal sheet From the big one i said before. I put it on the vise to star shaping it with small hits with the hammer trying not to put a dent or create stress points. Its better to hit softly several times than a couple of hard hits. Try to bend the piece by hitting it softly along all its longitude Now that the piece is done, I've to give the curvature to it. Because this piece its from the inner fender and has a curve. Looks like it a simple task, but its a little tricky To do this, Im hitting the part I want to curve in the outside face The part of the piece I want to curve is the one Im holding with my fingers, so Im hitting the other face, so it stretches. If this side expands, its lenght its going to be greater than the side Im not hitting And that diference in lenght its going to generate a curve in the face I didnt hit. As you can see, Im hitting the part equally along all its face to make a nice curve, and not having uneven borders. Also, as you can see Im hitting in multiple directions making an "X" pattern So there its the curve I wanted Its very subtle. Another thing, the body hammer its not for hitting nails or stuff like that look all the dents it has Someone used mi hammer to other stuff and ruined it if I use this the way it looks, it going to mark the metal sheet so Im gonna have to polish this. Here you can see the part fit. Nice. Here you can see how bad the car got rusted after all the raining and stuff you can see how its looking like a total mess And like a said before, the primer I used its porous so if the car its sitting in the open its going to rust eventually. Thats why Im working there replacing all the plastic curtains with some water proof thing or something So I can keep the wind away to. As a I said, I need to put some new primer on the car so I started sanding with 80 grit the part I want to protect, This part of the car is almost done ALMOST, I say, you're gonna see why. So im sanding with 80 grit taking the rust out And I started to paint thr car with this spray paint triple action says, Its supose to be rust converter, primer and enamel, but I dont believe the rust converter part. But the important this its tha the spray its an enamel so its impermeable to water and that protect the metal from rusting. Its easier to remove too. Im trying not to waste to much paint applying just 1 coat of paint so its easier to take it off later when the metal prep and paint part comes. Because Im going to hve to remove all the paint before putting the epoxy primer on it. Dont know if you can see it, but this is why this part of the car is not finish yet all the dents high spots, low spots are enhanced with the paint. Here is the finished spray paint job And you can see a mirror finish in some parts, And all the defects in body work too Thats the problem with black paint any defect with the body work intensifies. And of course you've already painted the car, so its hard to fix. Thats why you have to try to do a good body work. Once I protected the part from rust I can continue with the work. Its my priority to do all the body work under the car first Im starting on the rocker panels And in the next video Im starting from here Remember if you wanna recieve my updates hit the subscribe button above And I see you on my next video :D (subtitles are going to get better with time)
