In this video, now that the body has been taken off the frame as well as soda blasted, we begin the long and painful stage of any restoration....body work. In this video we replace the rear quarter panel as well some miscellaneous rust sections on our Jeep CJ. After metal work, we apply bondo to any trouble areas or rough areas on the body, including the dash. After bondo, we apply black monstaliner and magnet paints primer to the undercarriage, floor, fenders, and engine bay. Once the interior was monstalined we finished the bondo in preparation for the body to be put back on the the powder coated frame.
Those ribs and beads are not body lines…they're not for looks…how about strength because a flat piece of sheet metal can flex very easily
Terrible
The reason your metal is warping so bad when you weld, is because you have to spot weld it together because the metal is too thin. You have to spot weld it, let it cool, spot weld again, let it cool, and so on and so forth until its complete. That's why your right rear quarter warped so bad and why your dash panel warped so bad as well. Also, you didn't have to do all of that to your dash panel. All you had to do is go to someone with a laser cutter and have them make you a new one. lol
You could use poly primer and not use bondoooooo.
Did I miss something? Why didnt you line up the body line first before welding?
Safety First!!
Good job
Did you make a bigger hole for the bigger heater fan?
Between the chassis and the body shell can heavy duty springs be placed? Keeping the screw/ bolt long?

When welding sheet metal. Just use short spot welds. Not to get the metal too hot to keep it from warping
The mystery metal is brazed
I’m willing to bet there wouldn’t be top and bottom gaps if the panel wasn’t placed a quarter inch low.
Im going to call the safty squad on ya no safty glasses with a 4.5 grinder had to many blades blow up in my face be safe
Way to much use of bondo
Awesome job. Do you know how many people think they're going to do a project like this and then never complete it?
Monstaliner the out side too I did with mine looks good! No worries about scratches !
That’s silicon bronze welds
I realize this is an older video, but I hope you've learned how to apply "bondo" by now. You are applying too much and it isn't going on smooth. Save yourselves hours of sanding by applying the filler in thinner amounts and smooth it before it starts to set up. It will same tons of time. JMHO
My CJ' had damage on the same rear corner too. Ended up having to replace the side panel too.
Wear safty glasses dick head
Those little squishy earplugs work GREAT for plugging the holes (threaded or not) throughout a vehicle's body.
some love = pound it with a hammer….
Did you guys use anything to neutralize the soda before paint/primer ?
Eye protection, ear protection and gloves! Your 50 year old self will thank me.
"its a jeep and Im probably gonna slam it into a tree anyway" that made me laugh so hard…
hello, can you please tell what difference does the monsta liner makes , with respect to the conventional primer and paint process. restoring my own Willy's so it would help a lot.
Good work guys one suggestion would be if you are doing the dash again I would use the fibreglass filler with a skim of bondo over it
