Hi Mat, because of you I have decided to, for the first time in my life, change front disks with brake pads and tie rod ends on my 15 year old car on my driveway. I'm proud to say its a success. The money I saved on labour can now be channeled towards a urgent timing belt change at the mechanic shop. Greetings from Cape town and thank you for inspiring me to have the courage to do something I had no clue on how to work on my car.

Guys get a proper mask on when painting, trust me. I have lung damage from not doing this 😢

20:10... I love your dad... His positive energy and permanently smiling face serve as perfect icing on the cake. Thank you for such wonderful content!!!

Seeing Jack is making an appearance I’ve never been so giddy. He’s honestly a magician with bodywork!

Jack is a dude for coming over and helping, taverish only knows the best of guys..❤

I am sure someone else has mentioned this in the comments but here I go just in case not....where the 1/4 panel meets the other parts I would normally put a sleeve behind the joint. Just a small piece maybe an inch wide will work well. When making the mark on the roof rail and rocker panel, these pieces can be trimmed to use as the backer part. This allows you to have some wiggle room where they come together and lets you weld without worry of melting the thin sheet metal. If you are really experienced with welding sheet metal it isn't required but I always found it helpful. It only takes a few minutes to prep the sleeve and tack it into place. Other than that I think you guys did a really good job, especially for someone who has never done this before. It is great to have someone like Jack to guide you. This is going to be a really sweet deal when you are complete.

Me and my 6 year old son really enjoy watching your car builds.. Amazing skills

Good decision to bring Jack on board. He’s the best at what he does💯💪

What a massive amount of work, but looking great!

Honestly so amazing to see all this craftsmanship. It is so hard to cut out exactly enough, let alone stand cut out panels from another car EXACTLY right so it fits. And then welding everything nicely. Work it out so you don’t see it after paint alone is hard enough already. Not to even mention how hard it is to keep overview in what has been cut away and needs to come back. The skills are through the roof.

Mat Armstrong rebuilds have the best plot twist in terms of fixes and replacement parts!! I'm enjoying your videos a lot!

Mat, Fancy going to Rick Ross his car show 😂😂

Yet another absolute triumph. Jack did a great job matching up those panels and welding the seams. The colabs with the guys from the US are a great touch and must be getting the channel a good deal of exposure in the US.

Matt i know I speak for nearly everyone when I say, "We LOVE your channel and your attitude. You give us hopefuls knowledge to learn and try!"

This is top work mat, it's looking good even without paint. Getting jack on board was a huge bonus 👍

my dad owns a car repair shop in the netherlands , i basically grew up in there. working for 15 yrs with him now after being done with school, and i can say with everything i saw and learned there... u guys did a GREAT job fixing this. WELL DONE Mat! cant wait for the next Vid, cheers

Got to say Jack is a Class Act. Those seams were spot on after he welded it all together. Well done mate nice job.

I don't think the majority of viewers will ever realize exactly how difficult and how good this rebuild/repair was.
