Bodywork 101: Fixing BAD Panel Gaps! Tightening Up Your Gaps Can Make A HUGE Difference In Your Finished Project

There are a lot of differences between your average body shop paint and bodywork and something that someone like Kevin Tetz would do for a high end project. Sometimes projects don’t require, or deserve, insanely perfect bodywork and paint. But even if your project isn’t super high end there is some merit in making sure your body panel gaps are good. They don’t have to be tiny like a car that would come out of Hollywood Hot Rods, Rad Rides by Troy, or Chip Foose’s shop, but that doesnt’ mean you can’t make them consistent. Consistency is the key with body panel gaps, as a wide or tight gap somewhere will look super out of place and then everyone will notice it when they take a look at your car or truck.

To find out some tips and tricks on how to get your panel gaps great, watch this video with our friend Kevin Tetz. And, if you want more info on how to do great bodywork and paint, you can learn it all from his Paintucation course. Check them out at the link below.

Video Description:

This is STILL a great How-To on gapping sheet-metal… Just different than our original intent. let me say, that We’ve gotten over it an learned more about the gear, and won’t make the same mistake twice… I formatted the card outside of the camera, and that’s a mistake. it was “probably” the cause of the card being corrupted and we lost hours of footage. Bummer! We’re STILL stoked about the ‪@autometaldirect‬ sheet metal almost ( with a slight shove) falling into place… We STILL got you a great episode… just not as much of it.
