In this episode Chris bends the door frame back out to where it needs to be. He then trims up the replacement quarter panel skin to fit the Plan B body. After that he welds in supporting metal to help mate the Plan B with the replacement quarter panel.

Do you have their the pernell
As I watch this video I can’t help but appreciate someone willing to worm on their own car and do the work themselves. At the same time I have worked at a Collision Center that does 300+ cars a month as a estimator/ repair planner for 3 years and I can’t help but cringe at some of the techniques and repair processes you used on your car. Those center pillar reinforcement that you pulled out, cut and rewelded are HHS and should NOT be repaired especially with this amount of damage.
Rolloks and sanding disc man.
Should have replaced the b pillar off the cut you got
A bad welder makes a good grinder 🙂
Smh my man welding in any way on uhss or ultra high strength steel makes it mild steel
please watch some more youtube from russa!! from artur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! artur show you how to do that!!!! ok!!!
Haha I love how excited you got over the torch
I expect to be straightening a door pillar next month … so … learning from your experience. Thanks so much for the video!
I've got that stud welder. On sheet steel, it does pretty well. As for the sideways motion knocking the studs loose, that's by design. Somehow they are much stronger when pulled straight.
you made more work for your self .you got the door jam with the quarter panel I my self is a body man for 30 years I would had replaced the jam and quarter panel together and would not got up to the roof I would had cut the sail panel and dog leg that job would taken about 2 days for me and would had ben done .
@9:45 you threw that structural integrity out the window when you cut that panel and then decided to heat it lol
This makes me cringe
A tree a come along and done. Or put some pots in the ground man!
Subaru Franken-Z
That stud welder is no where strong enough to pull that pillar.
Ffs someone tell him he needs a hydraulic puller lol
You're a dumbass you cant repair a ultra high strength steel part you're putting a unsafe vehicle on the road!!!

the door pillar is VHEL!very hard
The door pillar piece is $75.00. You could have drilled it out and welded in a new one in the time it took to cobb that. Work smarter not harder. Same thing with the quarter. I know you where practicing but unless you're gonna keep the car forever think of the next owner and their safety. You're giving alot of people a false sense of ability.
First of all let me say I enjoy the channel and enjoy the builds – HOWEVER, don't kid yourself – you have seriously compromised the integrity of the B-pillar (center post). It will perform nowhere as well as it did in the first crash. That is a high-strength steel part (remember how much it sprang right back after you tried to push it with the porta-power?) that is meant to be replaced at the seams (top is under the roof). When steel is formed into a shape, it wants to stay in that shape. Deforming it in a collision and then forcing it back to its original shape stresses and weakens the metal (like how bending a paper clip back and forth weakens it and it eventually breaks). You can reduce that stress by heating the steel, but since this is a high-strength steel part it cannot be heated past a fairly low point without weakening it. This car gets punched in the side again, that "repaired" area is going to fracture and cave in significantly. Fine if it's a track/race car, but for a car you're going to daily drive (or fix and sell to someone who is going to daily it) – this is a totally improper repair that could get you sued if you sell the car on and someone is later hurt or killed. There's a reason body repair is so expensive these days and why this car was totalled in the first place. You can't heat and bend them back into shape anymore like you could 30 years ago. Again, love the channel and the build is interesting but don't call this a proper repair because it's not.

the brz looks kinda badass without that outer skin
yo plan B, Just saying, that inners post skin has had it. i know if you had of known you would of replaced it, you had the part to, B.
man each time i watch an episode i think "you should try this!", then the next episode, you're trying it. yay!
why not use the inner structure from the quarter panel you got from the junk yard? would have been perfect
your moving the studs around to much after you attach them and small movements at a time and hammer on the high spots and creases. don't try and move it all and once slowly massage it in place
I don't know how you keep your shoes so clean.
At 15:50 , I would have powdered coated the exposed metal as to prevent any rusting in the future..
Could you show how you welded the joint points together?
Chris man, I'm loving the give'er attitude you've got. "I've never done this before, but…"
It's really awesome to see someone just learning as they go along with the audience, instead of a totally rehearsed and polished final product. It certainly gives me more confidence to just give'er on my own projects!
Cheers man, keep up the good work!
that B pillar is not structural sound what so ever after you straightened it… you should not have made those cuts in the pillar, you should just have pushed it out like it was with no heating because the heat disturbs the structure of the metal
can someone explain to me what plan B is? This is a totally different brz than his first right.. wheres Pt 6 and under?
Something to be aware of is whether or not that's a high strength steel. HSS losing it's strength when you apply heat!
I worked four summers at a Toyota plant in Ontario to pay for college and they dumped me in the weld shop. You learn how to weld real quick when you have 52 seconds to inspect and repair up to 60 1' (or longer) welds haha. The robots are awful so you end up repairing roughly 30 welds on each suspension sub-assembly.
Hey Chris, maybe you should look into this.
Pretty sure that Boron Steel and to a degree warm forming are the things that gave you the problems with the b-pillar.

Do you have a snapchat account? That way I would know when videobis up….😅😏👌
waiting for the new episode like -_-
really don't know how you only have 68,000 subs I think you put a lot of effort into your videos to put them out there. keep doing what you do man!
This or haggard?🤔 This!
When I weld metal together in a but joint or filling in a small gap I put a bit of copper behind the weld stops you blowing the edge away may come in handy when welding the skin on
Good to see Chris excited again… man those louvers on the Plan A got us all down… now we are back up! Great video – let's all watch the ads to support the channel… and buy t-shirts!!!
you should make a spotify playlist!!
Just ordered my B Is For Build Keytag!
