want to learn how to get perfect panel gaps on that restoration and keep watching this video to CLT see panic at bay 1 customers does it TC wow the crowd at SEMA 2013 in las vegas with his amazing 1958 cameo concept pickup truck that featured a ton of eastwood products most notably the vino rojo red paint that stop everyone in their tracks but with that truck really displayed was tc's amazing attention to detail right down to the exact five-millimeter panel gaps in this video he uses Eastwood contour body filler to show you how he creates those perfect gaps let's check it out I don't give a shout out to mark jr. her from a slit for coming back and saying yesterday that came along with Kevin tears come out to the to the shop and went over some of the products I'm using of theirs and we had a great discussion on how to use them in the proper materials and have a lot of questions other stuff so big shout out to the Emperor taking the time to come all the way down here just a little of me meanwhile i ordered my own materials for this Jack wire from a split because I had such good success with the same truck that we took a las vegas every product that he's there is this outstanding it was easy to get that should be right to me so those are some of the products that I'm going to use on the Jaguar I mean this contour premium filler then i'm going to put the contours of poly fit polyester filler over top of that I love doing that metric as I cut this with 36 grit real fast and level I can shoot this on here and get no strings on this that's but very little bit nicer initiative to get it on there and i use a 20 tier sprays oh nice then I cannot cut that with a degree that I come back with this 2k urethane i can see that down a little bit and spray over that and then I would just cut that with 400 so i get i can level with me yes I get a little more level with this it stopped my shrinkage here put this on slick in the way then I'm really good at cutting out texture also they i ordered this same sailor I use this on the same the truck fixed with floor pans in this love this black same sailor it's firm kind of hold this place pretty well it seems to spread it easy to work with love that stuff and i want to show you something else haha thanks really cool undercutting I'm a stickler for up rusted prevention so i can take this into a little bitty how / use the regional weep holes in rocker panels and door panels 10 cab corners and I'll stick this up in there put it on my undercarriage and then just pull it through it sprays up 360 degrees so it just coat the whole entire that with my undercuts so what thanks wood for such great product I'm fixing it back at this and we'll show you some tricks on how to do well cut the same out and some of the methods talk to you about some of the methods that i use on get this filter on here nice and smooth what do you say little skim coat how about your skin this is completely one good time and then i lock it down flat I have a few low spots in it someone and I skimmed it one more time block them again it takes a lot of time doing that blocking but I kept this white 36 . to go into the dam and level and then I put my ex would probably feel on top of this so my mom brought up a bit now this front blocking and cut it on this side so just a whole lot of bodywork bodywork when I was going to be like this for a few weeks it's a wide on saying it up i'll give you a tip on this if you put this Hilary and it's smooth and its level as possible it will save you a huge amount of time because anywhere that you put it and it's a little bit love you that you have to take it down to that spot and you want to have to read coverage and if you work it out i used to work my bondo until I can't work it anymore that way i can not it actually makes it a little bit more spread a little smoother it's more the pin holes out of it and help you laying out suppose they're all watching this way and I'm like this way every time I sprayed it with that spreader its level it just a little bit more so I'm going to get back at hear what you're saying and I will show you a little trick on how to make up say across the front here all right many times these car shows you see how the body fitment on the door panels the doors and fenders get laser strike i will show you a quick little trick on how to get that done in the most efficient white possible without doing a bunch of metalwork you can go in here and fabricate the ages with steel and we're already in and the time you do all the fabrication and welding and all that it's really not justified when you're only you're only trying to gain just a millimeter tape case in point this bottle it's pretty tight down through here it had a little bit of a variance in between this panel on this panel right on that age so what i did was i used a deer glass pipe product which is extremely strong strictly rigid and will not absorb moisture it as well to the to the metal and it was that strange strong so i put that in there the low and i think a talk about that one of my previous videos and then what I'm going to do is put my light white filler on top of it I'll over the edge that so i can do a sculpting in between the tape now most people would why this space right here and then send it out and wipe it and saying it and you're saying and wiping and you're doing a lot of work you you could spend almost a day on just this area doing that to doing it that white I've got a trick for that and that involves taking the pipe paddle take it a couple of razor blades I put a screw through them to hold them in place what's up with that pipe panels right at about four millimeters now you can adjust the size of the thickness of the wood here the paint battle to change your thickness but i'm shooting for around 45 millimeter gap which always fits well looks nice so this will cut it for then I'll come back in saying that smooth to put it right at five then the time I do my poli feel my prime and all that so close back up to about whole so tight paddle too little razor blades I've got a Sandpiper stuck just to one side of my other pipe pounds and then I've got a spreader and then also I want to use this phone tight to fill in the back so you pick to see how this works works like a change so start off with get my hair done blood is that ok now i went in here I would have been hearing it all this has been already been sanded so now i'm going to do a pre claim to get the rest that does stop there I just lightly dampen a tile with a little bit of washed free cleaner do not use watch it or just briefly and then we're gonna put my phone tight and warm up killer is going to be on that edge I'll clean that really really nice that claim to get my bound tight pull it out I'm gonna put it right through here to keep the killer from squeezing the end between jail all right i got my bottom applies on my pre claim to hear you're right there he's saying that I like that I like that I'll be able to walk across that my finger is going to go down there just a little bit more relaxed missile that location now been spreading for a few days so I already know about how much filler i can get down and work out so you need a bit might get good judgment that and try to mix the assignment my aunt takes time if you mix up your filler and it gets hard before you get time to spread it all out you need to reduce the harder little bit or you can just mix up a little less but you need enough time to get all this filter on there so you don't why stealing and give yourself plenty of time to work that filler down smooth and level if you take the time to make it more smooth more level it is you will have to wait let's say anything here we go with the spray that you save yourself a bunch of time and what I'm picture day i know i've got about enough time to to do this if it's humid outside which you're intensely there's a lot of humidity this stuff tends to save one fire off a little faster so you and we'll do one thing the time and leave this one up then I'm going to that Mike Ross next that way I have just the right sweet spot I'm cutting this I want this to be the consistency of cheese is sitting up it's going to set up and be about the same consistency as slice cheese and i'll be able to we all right through it with my little cutter i might spread this out really really smooth it on the gender and you see the amount of put out here it's just about right that's gonna give me a minute really work this in real nice and smooth just like using that da to level it I can use the width of this pad so every time I spread it I'm left a little bit so i cannot process and level and the more I do this I'm actually steel mixing it I'm removing he knows and really tighten it up and bond against this metal only mixing up that small amount is allowing me to really work this in smooth it should take me long at all cut this yeah I look as smooth sliding myself a huge same time a lot of dragging it over alright so now what I'm going to like this age down a little bit i'm going to another spray it up here and smoother I had this killer at the top these are being made in my bullying and out by their most reading right over there just a little bit so this is gonna be time to get all this off and we'll clean yourself and then by the time i get this plane up this I'll be set up and up to where I can cut it and i'll show you what what i will do with this cut all right I've been sent here wait and watch it will leave it because when it fires up its gonna happen by ask it seems like it's just right so what I'm gonna do is follow up against the bonnet another bond is the edge and im looking to mimic and we'll take this blade and then it's more slice through here like butter now if you miss this window and it sets up it's free to up the stakes you have to come in here with that yeah product cut off tool or something and fix it stay right there just pulled that right out and then I open the switch it up i'm gonna go ahead and do that this one and this one up here and then i'll open it stood up and all that followed my out and then I'll take that sandpaper i showed you and i'll send this back a little bit and then once i get that up it will be just as just behind of a little ledge right there and we'll come back and mix up my feeling on my back white that age and then they got to be it will be a perfectly it so all right I've got this cut down now I want to show you went up after i took my razor cutter and I cut that out I showed you how to pull that out of there well I normally don't do that at that point because i will leave the bottle in there are go ahead and cut it i like the thumb in there Melanie that little pigs in there that way when I'm doing my block and it just helps support that little bit so it doesn't turn these ages is bad then once I get this cut pretty flat then I'll take that thing out of there once i get it out of there i take my plate pattern that has a only sandpaper on one side it gets about 4 millimeters five millimeters so if you want to get her tiger millimeter gap there now you can pin this board down and how to determine the millimeter gap is you can set a door or you can set a trunk and a slice and then you'll know what the back respect you so once i get this implies that measure these open see what I got and then the sabres I told you know it's a four millimeter gap on the car factory and then you can go from there but once you get it applies for the the board side against the place you're trying to decide you're trying to reproduce and then just come in there and that's insane it down and block it out and then once you get it blocked out it's perfectly fit down through there so when I after I do that raise your pace up and you'll see there's just the most hint of a little bit of a Ledge there it's not even a half a millimeter of a Ledge I can take my mind off my filler and mix it up real nice and I just back back white that right in there real nice real time that's after I claim that i always claimed that in the same and plain that the sand at first and then pretty fun to get all nice and plate anyone you back quite a bit then take that and all the way around that hold it tight against there and it'll it'll smear it just perfectly in there any comebacks and a little bit and then when you get all done you have a perfect gap so so for years I've done it the other way of walking and walking there and saying this and it just takes forever you never get that true line this method when you cut that it's going to be a laser straight line and look absolutely beautiful sup I'm gonna do a little more work on this and I'm gonna go up here and next week show you how the veil console and stuff is coming so let's get back to work yeah
