Nice to see us old school guys still showing there are skills to learn instead of the throw away and buy new youngsters of today,
This guy is a real artist, someone who has taken in so many aspects of his trade.
Excellent vid. There are few of us file finishers left and they don't even teach lead wiping at tech school anymore. At around the 10 min mark is where I would use a dust coat of black as a guide when filing. Also I use a wooden file as I find the flexible file can flex just when you don't want it to and always hold the file with both hands to ensure the file is flat on the steel. People don't understand that the file is used to show highs and lows and and isn't for the actual smoothing of the steel.
Of course it also needs to be understood that the quality of steel in modern cars, does not lend itself to a file finish repair.
You're not a mechanic. You're an artist. Incredible.

He’s not a mechanic, he’s a panelbeater!
I wish more of this was done in US. So satisfying to watch such skillful work. I don't know what I envy most, the panel beating skills or that Rock and Roll hair ! Fantastic.

Thank you for these videos, I’m learning a great deal from them.
Your work is amazing. 👍
Trev as i mentioned time and again, you are an artist! Period!
Thank you for this video. It's great watching a master craftsman at work.
Superb video, very instructive without the usual 20 minute preamble you get from other garages that are on TH-cam.
I have subscribed. Thank you, all the best, Dave.
Great video...really enjoyed watching an old fashioned technique being so effective!
Best instruction I've found on you tube...he actually teaches and is very professional. Thank you!
Great vids for the folks working on impossible to find body panels. Great haircut....very period correct. Thanks much for sharing. Best to you and yours.
Great work Trev. REAL craftsmanship!
Mysteries and secrets of metal finishing revealed. Thanks for your amazing videos Trev. You are a genuine artist.
dave maccarter Thanks Dave I’m glad you found it educational. Cheers Trev 👍
So many guys say I'm going to keep this short or simple then proceed to make a 45 minute long video and still don't cover everything! LoL, you did a excellent job on the repair and explained it just perfectly! I have been doing body work for a long time but i still like watching others doit to compare techniques and to pickup on new tips that will help me become better at metal working. Just found your channel today actually and I'm glad I did! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!
Great job, I am impressed, working on a 4-15-1942 rare army Jeep, Thank you for your videos !
Thanks for transmitting your craftsmanship skills with so much dexterity and explained to utter perfection. Regards, Dan
Great to see you back. Will be going through these older videos and hope to see more tips and tricks in the future. Thanks
Robin Charlton ore new videos in the pipeline, it’s a shame I had to upload the old ones again but it’s going to save me grief in the long run. Cheers Trev
You give us all such great inspiration! Beautiful work! Love your style and dedication to skills becoming lost in our 'throw away' societies. Bravo!
Thank you for your work making these videos and greetings from Sweden! After the garage is restored I will start working on a tractor. I have been working a bit with correcting panels but I really need more good advice as yours.
Just magic watching that dent melt away and disappear! Loving this channel and all the repairs and tips obviously in the hands of a master craftsman.
Metal done right, just as I used to watch the craftsmen do it in the 50s and 60s ! Some of the guys still used lead filler, but first generation plastic fillers were coming on strong. Dad's friends in auto restoration showed me how to then shoot Dupont 30S or 60s giller primers... Old memories you are bringing back watching the panels come back to life.
Thanks for sharing your skill and wisdom. This technique will come in handy on my rebuild!
Thank you . i was watching some years ago my mate , do this with just a normal file( large one ) ! i was so pleased that you showed us this ,not just cake iceing ! i have seen a few , workers that can ice a cake because that is what they do at work !! in a car body shop !!
Yes, excellent workmanship and well explained too, many thanks
Great job , look forward to seeing more of your work...
G'day from West Australia,
😉🙂👍👍
Boy do I miss doing this kind of stuff.
So cool to see someone with the skills I was taught. Helps keep my skills alive 🙂 thanks much appreciated indeed😉🙂👍👍
Always been curious about automotive metal working, great video.
A nice light touch with control, love it! Great Channel.
I have a 280ZX/S130 project that I need to use these methods on. I definitely need a lot of tools. Awesome work.
I love the way you show us how it's done very informative top work
thats the right way to repair. amazing work, amazing skills.
for newbies like me just putting the bondo and sanding, already finished. haha
Trev that’s amazing,I can’t believe how you got that dent out...fantastic mate keep em coming 👍
Being an auto body repair man for 40 years now all I can say to you is thank you for helping to keep a lost art/skill alive. I have several slap files and spoons that new comers out of trade schools have never seen or have been taught to use. Keep up the great old school workmanship
Really appreciate you sharing trade secrets.Thanks.
Delighted to have come across this channel!
Binging on videos now, never done a days bodywork in my life...but I’m enthralled!!
Davewagon Hey Thanks 🤩. Your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Very fascinating. Clearly demonstrated. Most enjoyable.
what most people forget it's only metal u can make it bend to ur will
I tell u I miss doing this kind of work I did it for years
in my playlist u will fine a video of the cars I used to work on
cheers brother keep up the good work
Great video, nice and simple. Thanks for finishing to a polish so that we can see the resulting quality. Very helpful!
Incredible, how one video can explain something ive wondered for years, i had an idea of how this works but never seen it done. everything is just filler nowadays, not true metal crafting. gonna binge for a while. just earned another sub, excellent info!
Handmade in perfection, I immediately left a subscription, Greetings from Germany
My dad did this type of body work car building before I was born , went into towing and moving into big rig towing he passed and I inherited his toolbox
I found drawers of these tools 😞 now I’m interested in using his tool to work on my own street rods I’ve never done body work just Engine building , but with these I’m going to start 🙏🏻👍🏻 thank you for passing this on
With a 67 GM truck, I can do this as the best part is, it’s wide open behind for the most part. It actually has metal in the panels. The panels for the most part, all unbolt making reaching around easier.
A dent like that, displaces metal around it. By pushing up, slapping the toe dolly around the dent, working toward the middle. Each time, this lifts the metal upward and pulling the displaced metal inward. This is a unique way to to reduce product use, achieve a flatter surface to start any repair toward a completed finish. It eliminates “Oil Canning” effect from just filling as that alone and will not cut it in many places, creating more problems. I want a heavy slapping file like that one. It has to be at least 10 mm thick or almost 7/16”. Thanks!
Wow your the man Trev. Excellent video
I have just started a restoration on a TR6. As mechanic the body work costs have always deturred me from restoring a car . Thankyou for passing on your amazing skill set it has given me the confidence to attempt more of the body work.
Thank you for these great videos. Very informative
You make it look so easy, thank you for sharing.
Nice job looks great you are a sheet metal pro👍
I' m not sure what I like more: your skills or your Pomp hairstyle. Keep rocking!
Really helpful and interesting presentation, may rock and roll live forever.
Super Trev, thanks, really useful. What a art!
Stunning, Trev! Cheers. Leigh.
The before and after of that dent is pretty darn impressive! Nice work and video chap!
Thanks for using simple tools. Great video!
mjm McG Hey Thanks 🤩
Thank you sir I just ordered a bumping file. I am learning a lot from you.
Your videos are helping me no end Trev, thanks. I'm currently working on an aluminum petrol tank for my caff racer. Limited tools ain't helping and it being the first job of it's kind I've undertaken of course. I've got a load of those little pein dents from hammering (probably wrong) to planish out now. Wish I had a spoon
Well done Trev very educational.
Dude.. metal Bondo. Lol
Nice to see this skill not lost. Thanks for sharing.
Reverse hammering.. insane.
I enjoyed the video (and learned from it), but REALLY enjoyed the after-credits! You do some very creative and well-executed work!
Don't you love it when you can get a dolly to reach ! Brilliant demo.
lol isn't that the truth!!
that was a fantastic lesson, thank you Trev.
Nice work. Iam a metal repairman at Ford motor company I can only use lead or a couple coats of prime to build with I use a eagle alot the file isn’t going to lie to you been doing metal repair about 15 yrs your a real pro
really good video, and as you say counter-intuitive to hit from the top like that. Thanks for sharing
Top job. As usual Trev. Nice work.
Nice to have advice from a real pro. Thanks.
Truly a lost art.... fantastic video Trevor!

i had made a bunch of different shaped tools that fit into my air hammer so that i could "bang" out dents from the reverse side. the softer but more rapid hammering was extremely effective and required minimal force on my end, which saved my arms loads of fatigue..
Great informative video thankyou Trev
Very informative, just subscribed and enjoying your expertise!!
Brilliant video enjoyed every minute
Excellent! Thank you very much for explaining that!
you are a real metal man.Thanks for a amazing video.
frode sandø Hey Thanks 🤩
