How is it coming from the inside out? And is there any type of rust prevention I can spray inside of the doors, and rocker panels to keep this from happening?
I have alot of body work to do on this...

The last picture I posted is the Rocker Panel that is rusted through. The bottom of the door is still solid, but I also have rust that is coming through the door skin seam.
So should I grind off...

And here is the Passenger side Rocker Panel that needs patched.

Thanks.

I have an 03 Dodge Ram 1500, that has Rust". I understand that I will have to remove the paint to see what the real story is, but if we could just start with baby steps. First off what type of...

Williams772, could you tell what rollers you used?

Thanks.

I'm getting ready to start my first body work project. Some rust repair, and dent repair on a 03 Dodge Ram. I seen on Spikes TV, Trucks, where Kevin used a roll on primer. Being a hobbiest, would...

I need to repair my Wife's car, after I hit it with my truck. I'm on a really tight budget, will will make a repair post about it.

Thanks.

When using a stud gun, do you work from the center out, or from the outside edge to the center? And when using a hammer and dolly, samething?

Thanks.

BobK, that's what I'm afraid of happening, just looking for advice so I don't over look something, the past or the only two vehicles I have done. I bought them from looking at the pics, and then...

Mr. Phil V, I understand what you are telling me. But I'm a little surprised that you stay clear of salvage title vehicles with your experience. I bought an 03 4x4 QC in June of 04, I had about...

Yes it's a salvage title car. So what you are saying it's not a good idea to have the car pulled, then I do the rest? As for the price of the parts, yes on this car they will be high, but I'm not...

I'm more interested in the damage, what to look for, any hidden surprises I'm not seeing. To me it looks mainly cosmetic, hood, fenders, bumper, bumper cover head lights, rad. cond. rad core, head...

I will be looking for a new D/D project soon for the wifey. I do have some experience with "body work", just by watching and helping my friends. But now I'm on my own, so I call myself a Newbie. I...

Awesome, thank you very much for the help!!!! One last question, where can I find a bolt like that?

Thanks again.

Here's a pic, what do you think?

Thanks.

It's not a bolt, it's a stud. It sheared off at the start of the threads. Been told just weld a thread stud to the end. Does this sound to be a correct method for this issue?

Thanks.

I'm replacing the engine in a 2002 Nissan Altima, it's the front passenger side stud. What can be done to repair this?

Thanks.

No, I didn't get the car, it sold. But I'm starting to look hard for one.

How are the frame rails replaced? Can anyone give a detail explanation?

Thanks.

Just wondering how to make the lower frame rail look like it was never hit.

Thanks.

Anyone?

Thanks.

I'm just looking at this car, over the internet. I will find one with about the same amount of damage. I have helped in pulling a few front ends with some body friends, and have replaced a core...

What needs to be done to the driver's side lower frame rail, and the upper frame rail?

Thanks.

Phil V, where or how do you find the repo's at?

Thanks.

Why wouldn't it be worth the effort?

Thanks.

Well, guys I don't know what to say. I bought an 03 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4, back in mid 04. That had a salvage title,and very little damage, which I still drive today. I also bought an 01 Toyota Avalon...

I've been thinking of buying and fixing some cars for extra money. I found this car on craigs list. How bad is the damage, and what are your guys opinions?
I've helped some of friends for...

What did you sell for $300.00?

Thanks.

How Good are the Aftermarket Bumpers?

Thanks.

Has anyone heard of this

I can purchase this at TSC, would a "Painter's Mask" with another dusk mask under it be good enough?

Thanks.

Thanks Guys for the info. I live in Ohio, I found a phone number to obtain my salvage dealer's license, haven't called yet. I've done one salvage title truck, which I still own, and I've done one...

Looking to buy directly from the insurance companys.


Thanks.

That's the only media that I know of that's not sand.

Thanks.

I'm looking for Dupont's StarBlast media, I'm not having any luck finding where to buy it. I live in the Central Ohio area. Can someone direct me where to find at?

Thanks.

What is the best way?

Thanks.

I hope to have enough money here soon for a DeVilbiss Plus. Didn't want to use primer through it. Maybe some day I'll paint till then I'll be prepared.

Thanks.

I've heard some people having good results with a HF paint gun, how true is this, and what about using it only for a primer gun?

Thanks.

I've bought a few wrecked vehicles, first one was a 03 4x4 QC ram 29,000 miles, minor damage, now has a rebuilt title, also bought an 01 Avalon clear title. You can have a nice car for less money...

I bought the HF compressor, ( I took the head off of one, and it seems fairly decent), for $90.00, I bought a TSC 5hp motor for $175.00, and the craftsman compressor for $70.00. Where can I buy a 21...

Yes, I'm building my own air compressor. I just bought a 60 gal craftsman 6.5hp, 14 amp, oil free compressor, with a blown rod. My plans is to use a Harbor Freight 5 hp 15cfm @ 40 psi, 13 cfm @ 90...

I will be running 220V out to the garage, about 25ft. What size wire and size amp breaker will I need for a "225" Lincoln mig welder?

Thanks.

What about plug welding, how should it be done?

Thanks.

How should I be welding, in a circular motion, like stick or tig welding, or in a "C" motion, or just a straight line?

Thanks.

How much for the gun, and cap?

Thanks.
