#diy #howto #vw #car
We take the porta power hydraulic 20 ton jack and pop all the dents on the roof of our 1964 VW/Volkswagen Beetle and then start to strip the paint off to bare metal. It's a collision job that My Friend Pete will never forget. Major damage repaired and showing you how to do it right!

Don't forget to Visit The Merchandise store above this comment to get some GREAT SWRNC/DIY AUTO SCHOOL Stuff to help SUPPORT My Friend Pete for all the hard work on making these videos for you to enjoy and learn from.. Thanks for watching!
Maxwell is missing Texas as well. He came back to visit the gang at the shop and looking good. Excellent use of the ports-power and bottom bracing over the floor. Another good lesson on how to quickly push out a badly dented roof skin.
Thanks Minnie & Pete. It a file keeper!
I started working in a body shop after school and on weekends in 1964. The first vehicle that I helped with was a 1961 VW that had hydro-planed on a wet road and rolled down an embankment, crushing the top and front fenders. We all learned on that one (it was the shop's first VW). VW steel is not the same as US steel. They "work" differently. This brings back a lot of good memories...
61 was a great year .11 1 1961😊
I've never seen a diy video so calm. Just instructional. So you & minnie actually get along? Im shocked
This was a how-to body shop video I'm glad I watched all the way to the end, I needed to see how to do the repair the right way. Thank you Pete & Minnie
This video show how skilled and experienced Pete is , Top Job Buddy ! Don’t let the skill die !
Thanks Dave
One hell of a video can’t wait to see the reveal Pete my passed last month and we watched all of your videos thank you brother for all you do
Unbelievable Pete, craftsman at work, can't believe you've got all those big dents out. Well done, looking forward to Part 3.
Just got to GO FOR IT, and see what happens!
Fantastic body skills and a joint effort....great to see you both working together on this car...👍👍
All praise to Pete and Minnie for saving this little bug from turning into a huge fiascool.
Wtf. He’s getting paid to do bodywork. He’s not walking on water. Grow up.
The porta-power is an amazing tool. Nice instruction on using it for your repair. Thanks for all you and Minnie do. God bless you both.
you lunatic ha ha, I've been watching your stuff for more than ten years! great information, great skills love it!
I cherish these repair videos, shows real craftsman ship. I worked in a collision shop, I would call that shop a “replacement” shop. They replaced every little thing. Seem like they Avoided repairs, the damage could be the size of a baseball and would opt to replace it.
Good job saving the roof brother

Nice work Pete!
Awesome job 👏 you sure know how to fix it the right way.
That’s some awesome work pete - I’ve learned so much watching your videos
Thanks!
This is a real Master Body Man in Action! I would like to see some of the new school mouth pieces get on something like this job! OMG it doesn't unbolt and replace! Lol!
Pete, I'm embarrased.and jealous that...your porta-power is more shiny than my porta-power......brother i'm tellin' ya, you jump in with both feet.....Your good. And a very good lesson too!!!!!!😎😎
Porta Powers are dust collectors, but when you need it--it's there to use!
I was wondering about this, do we have the pleasure of seeing a third video of this bug Pete?
We'll see it to the end,, coming up soon!
Man... I needa be friends with pete... See my expertise is putting the dents in it seems
Pete love the vids. Haven't seen a ram used like this. Great lesson!
Man! Didn't know this was ol maxwell
Great job, thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Amazing to get a blow-by-blow tutorial on this technique...you knew just where to start to get the metal to straighten out. Is this the way they used to do it before bondo was invented? I really appreciate the craft in this!
damn pete i just now getting caught up on your vids ive been doing body work a long time just when i think i know everything you show stuff you do that amazes me you probably forgot more than i will ever know just amazing what you can do thank you for the video
Dear Pete and Minnie . I could see from your first video when you started the roof re-curving that you had a plan. That first dent at the right b-pillar was the bitch and that went very well. You are lucky Pete , to have Minnie to bounce a plan off of, and watch over the process with you. There is no doubt in my mind that Maxwell will look as good as new !. I had forgotten that the car was named Maxwell. When you said that Maxwell will be happy after the deadblow took out the last major part of the dent, I thought you were referring to the song " Maxwell silver hammer ". I had a little chuckle... Good work you two, good old school know how. Good help is hard to find. A tip of my hat to you both !!!.
Yep thats the car's name.. Every little beetle has to have a name!! Thanks for watching buddy..
wow pete great job it already looks like nothing ever happened
My first drive in movie was up in smoke in a Volkswagen 60 something 😊
Lookin good 👍
Great work , love seeing you guys happy and getting er done ✅ as usual 👍🏻
wow Pete Maxwell got handled... Only Pete can handle a disaster like that, most guys just skin it
That was a good one. I had 3 motors with me on the lake Tuesday. The 1992 3hp made in Belgium Johnson ran great but the 1965 Evinrude 3hp ran like crap and wouldn't get up and go. the 3rd motor was my mini kota to do some fishing which sucked. water still too cold around here. fish were all sleeping
no fishing here either.. Bad thing about fishing the lakes around here is it's all stock fish and if you eat them they taste like MUD!
The “Master” take’n care of business.
Maxwell is looking better!
Back in Texas days❤
Yeah I miss my Dallas SHop!
@D.I.Y. AUTO SCHOOL ya I bet with the fuck around its been. Oh well I live in canada, and it's even worse 🙃
I love these videos. I have one question. If you have a roof that is double walled, do you cut out the one underneath the outer skin or do you use a spot welder dent puller and just work from the outside? Thanks!
Pete!! What's the situation!!!
Will there be any possibility of some small area of the dent reappearing with temperature changes and wind pressure? How would you stabilize this fix?
no, I don't think weather will change the configuration of fixing the dents...
👍👍
what gage metal is that roof ?
18 gauge
