I bought your Premium membership. Fist time logged in and watched one of your videos, Auto Body Patch Panels:Door, on a ’55 Chev. It’s a 8:56 minute video, shows cutting out the rust area, mentions how slick it’ll be making the patch and welding it in, but the video stops there. Does not show a patch panel being made or installed.
It appears this video is incomplete, where’s the rest of the repair? I want to see him make the patch, and install it, as he says he’s going to. Why is it cut short? Should be called ‘How to cut out a rusty section’, since there’s nothing about the patch panel that needs to be made or it’s install.
I searched for the continuation but could not find it. This is frustrating, is this what I will find in all your videos?
Please explain if I’m missing something here.
Thanks,
Rick
Hi Rick, thanks for your membership, and I apologize for the confusion, we will be working to make it easier to find the continuation segments to videos that are part of a series, but it’s feedback like yours that helps us identify where the problems are. Here is the link to installing the patch panel, I believe you will find it very informative and a useful guide in making your own repairs.
