Nice explanation and great work Jerry. You are really helping a lot of younger folks learn the trade. Those that don’t mind skilled hand work as a professional trade or just those who want to restore a vintage/special car can learn from your teaching. Fantastic job as usual. Thank you.
Thanks William - I do hope some kids want to learn this a end up getting a good job some day.
It really is a rewarding career and you'll never be w/o a job. I appreciate your support my friend - have a great weekend :)
I do this for a living. I love seeing someone post this type of video for the normal ignorant consumer to see. I don't mean that negatively, i just use the word ignorant as it is defined as in people don't have the knowledge of. They call us mechanics because we work on cars. We are auto collision technicians, not mechanics. Totally different ball game than turning wrenches. This is just one part of what we do. I hope this can appeal to some youth and get them into the industry. Kiddos, you can get in the industry and and with determination and drive, you can learn from guys like this and be making $100k/year no problem. Too bad society makes us collision techs look like dirt bags and people look down on us. If I could go back i would still be a body tech. So rewarding and always a new experience on every job. From taking doors apart and removing a handle to pulling a frame and getting it from 30 mm out of spec back to within 3mm, this career is highly underrated. Society makes you think 4-6 years of college is a must and $80k in debt from loans. And if you don't then you failed. You can drive a $70k truck and buy a home faster in this profession than you can if you go to school to be an attorney. By the time i was 28 I bought a house and had it half paid off and was making over $60/hour because i was working 100% flat rate (commission) I'm now 43 and started my own collision center and we are close to doing $250k/month in business. That's approximately $30k/month of pure profit for ownership. Don't conform to society BS. Pick a trade for a career if you can and IT WILL PAY OFF. People love seeing you try and they will help you if they see you putting on the effort.
Thanks for your input Jake - sorry about the late reply. You're absolutely right about learning a trade. You'll always have a job and feel good about yourself. One boss always told me a mechanic can fix cars but a body man can fix anything - he's was so right about that 👍🛠😊
i started working at a body repair shop 3weeks ago. i love it! today, an experienced body man told me that "metal has memory". Wild thing to try and comprehend since i dont watch him from beginning to end reshaping a quarter panel or whatever. i just see how the car was when damaged and the after work. Amazing work fasure!!!!!!
Body work is a rewarding career for sure Lewis - good luck, have fun and be safe :)
Ya it’s almost like the panel or fender automatically wants to go back to shape it’s so comfortable to understand how to fix broken or damaged things it’s 2:39 am to me and after watching this I had to go n find something to fix in this case it was the bathroom door knob lol
,👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌🇫🇮🇫🇮
This is truly a treat a 45 min Video thank you
I appreciate the support Leonard - thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 🛠
I'm enjoying the long episode Jerry. 👍
You're definitely making the best of it without much access to the back side.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for always supporting and watching Jim - I appreciate your support. Have a great weekend ✌
Great Job.... I have been watching for a while now been doing this for about 40 years myself but still like watching you. great job again and have a good weekend
That's what I call beautiful work Jerry you make it look so easy 👍💪💪💪💪
Thanks Vicshone - good to hear from you my friend - have a good weekend 🛠
Man I love watching these kinda of videos
This has to be one of your best videos yet!! You explain everything very clearly and it is easy to watch your technique. I'm surprised the tire on the tacoed wheel is still holding air.
Me too Bluesman! We even drove on it up and down the dirt road here :) Thanks for your kind words my friend - hope everything is going well for you. We do have a Lakeside Discord server (page) to upload your project pics and progress. I check it every now and then to see if there are new projects or pictures from viewers - discord.com/invite/Qm6qJgcubu Let me know if you make an account and upload some pics :)
That is good stuffing and techniques. Thanks for for caring and sharing your happiness. 😊
You're welcome my friend :)
I love the way you work. Exactly the way I would do it. Thanks for the videos. Always watching them.
Thanks for always watching Jean - I appreciate the support :)
Really enjoyed watching the full job from start to finish. Everything looked great when you were done. Nice work!
Thanks Fireship - I appreciate the support - have a great week :)
Great work Jerry! You always do a fantastic job. Those customers are lucky to have you as a resource for sure! But most of all the Guitar intro was outstanding!!!!
Thanks 67 - I still like all that metal stuff. I though I would get real mature grow out of it but nope :)
Jerry I really appreciate your use of basic tools and down to earth explanations of your trade. I'm trying to repair a old 000 dakota that was damaged by a hit and run driver and with your assistance it might happen thanks your youtube is greatly appreciated.
You're welcome Keith - let me know how it goes for you. Feel free to ask ?s 👍😊
Not really basic tools those are the tools
@robertcampbell5485 cheap welder some shims hand tools and a basic chain block with hooks and your in business.
Under 300bucks and you could probably have all of it or just work with what you got. I used a tree and heavy strap to pull a b pillar back onto place before or a big heavy butt rail sleeper. I have had to build tools from scrap cause I don't have them.
Don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I did. Very enjoyable to watch.
Great to hear Ian - thanks for watching and have a good week :)
Awesome job Jerry from start to finish…you are the best at it!!!
I appreciate that UPK - thanks for always supporting. Have a great weekend my friend :)
@@LakesideAutobody have a great weekend Jerry!
An artist no doubt. Much respect
Thanks NC - have a good week my friend :)
Your videos helped me repair a hard rear corner hit on my sons car. I was able to get the car drivable in roughly three weeks of nights and weekends. I had to improvise on a pulling system to get the quarter panel nearly straight as it was wrapped around the trunk area. I do weld and fabricate some and have auto body experience from way back. The rear bumper was in several pieces and stitched together and still holding for three years. He leaves for college next month and I will finally get a chance to finish the primer repair this fall.
That's great to hear - glad the videos helped you out. Where is he off to?
A few miles from home but he can’t take his car freshman year. Moravian university.
@@jeeptk Ah - got it. He'll have a great time 👍😊
It is a thing of beauty, Jerry! Great job it’s evident that you have many years of experience.
Thanks Diane - have a good week my friend :)
Looks great man! Nice editing too!
Thanks CT - thanks for watching and the kind words :)
I always enjoy your blog. I learn a lot of useful information thanks 😊
Let the tool be the tool/do its intended job.😊
Its awesome that you take the time to video everything. New Sub here. Ive been in the business for 40 years! Thanks.
Thanks for the sub Jeff - I appreciate the support :)
Great work from a one man band,looks very good & solid 👍
Thanks Zubey - have a great week 🛠
Excellent and informative as always. I'm learning a few good techniques here.
Thanks for watching Boss - glad you enjoy the content :)
I'm sitting here on a Saturday night watching and loving it. I can smell the bondo. Great job !
Thanks Steve - glad you liked it :)
Wow, Jerry, the way you did that made me really interested in this stuff!!
That's good to hear - glad you enjoyed the video. The car now belongs to my kid :)
@@LakesideAutobody Cool!! car looks pretty!
@@malcomax1917 Thanks :)
I always get pumped when I watch your vids. Then I do my own bodywork and things usually go sideways 😆🤪.
Your son is lucky, that is a very cool car !!!
I always appreciate your kind words PSG and look forward to your interesting videos too. My son loves this car - been looking for a nice one for years and finally stumbled on the once in a lifetime gem - super clean interior, 62,000 miles, 5 speed manual, cool color, nice rims. I've always been into the older stuff but this car is growing on me quickly :)
@@LakesideAutobody Yes. A future classic for sure.
Awesome work, i keep finding myself staring at the back rim and wondering how that tires holding air with that dent in it lol
awesome job sir, cant wait to see the next video
Glad you liked it Richard - thanks for always watching my friend. Have a great weekend 🛠✌
You are very skilled and patience. Love you work and videos.
Thank Mike - thanks for watching :)
I see that the rear tire rim took a good hit as well , your the master of your trade well done .
Must have hit pretty hard to bend that rim like that. Thanks for checking it out Old Biker :)
Beautiful job your a pro.
Thanks 👍
This is the best channel thank to the great explanation and demonstration of jerry.
I appreciate that my friend - have a great weekend :)
jerry i love watching you do your magic, great job my friend. god bless.

jerry you are bad to the bone awesome . thank you for your hard work.love it .
Awesome video actually learn a lot from it and build my own tool to pull inner fender:) not the best but did what I could
Glad you could use the info Brian. It's never perfect but if you are proud of your work - that's really what counts. Thanks for watching :)
Nice repair, Jerry. That car looked pretty hopeless, at the beginning.👍
Thanks CSG - always nice to hear from you my friend :)
Very nice Jerry, always learn something from you.
Thanks Leigh. I appreciate the support my friend :)

Makes it look so easy I really enjoy your content🎉🎉
Thanks George - I appreciate the support :)
Very nice metal pulling. That takes skills for sure.
Thanks Bear Vibes - I appreciate the kind words 🛠
My car got hit yesterday and I was curious about how they would fix it since it is right in the metal frame, looks really cool, might be interested in learning...
Here's a few videos on pulling frames - th-cam.com/play/PLOP9eoG14-I9INn6UXNhOwUiXBHoSivQ4.html
Awesome work
Amazing thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience the shim peices are great I'm getting some Thanks again.
You're welcome Geoffrey - have a good weekend :)
All of your videos are awesome!!
I really appreciate that BP - enjoy your weekend :)
Another Great video
I think the Stanly Surform is your favorite tool, it seems to get an outing on nearly every Vid you put up...
I think it is my favorite tool - when an old boss introduced me too it, it really make a huge difference for me - no dust, fast, accurate :)
Very clear and helpful.
👍😊
Another great video 👍
Nice work jerry
Thanks Peter - thanks for watching :)
You a bad man my friend ty for explaining everything sir great video
Thanks a lot All Gas - I appreciate the support - have a good week my friend :)
Fantastic!
Awesome repair! Thank You : )
You're welcome MXP - have a great week :)
Amazing work👌🏽
Thanks Alexander :)
Newer appraiser here and wanting to learn how repairs are done to better perform my job. What’s the repair time on a QP job such as this? 4.0? 6.0?
The door was replaced - probably get about 2 hours for that. Dents like this one get quite a bit of time because it's subjective. 4-6 hours is about right for the quarter dent. I never wrote estimates - body man - so I can only give you an idea or ball park figure. They do have software or crash books to give accurate times - not sure where to find one though. These videos are on cars that will be sold - they're clean title repairable vehicles from auctions or rust bucket trucks that have low miles :)
Maybe this tab welding trick is what I need to do on my car. I originally thought I could push from the inside but after removing the interior I've realized there's just not much access through the inner wall of the unibody to get to the quarter panel. Thanks for the video
You're welcome. Generally body shops never remove interior parts unless absolutely necessary :)
You do fantastic bodywork
Thank you Tim - I appreciate the kind words my friend - have a good weekend :)
Hi Jerry I'm still trying to catch up on all videos. I notice your shop is on a dirt road, I don't feel so bad now my house and shop is in a remote area on 20k of dirt before you get to bitumen, or is that blacktop.Regards from john in South australia
Wow - that's a lot of dirt. Hard to keep a car clean there for sure😢. Greetings from Saint Helen, Michigan. Have a great year my friend :)
43:53 I am new to learning body work. Question I have is once primer is down then you have to block sand it and re primer it then finish sanding? Why does it require a repeated process? Thanks for the videos and I’d appreciate learning why.
The re priming fills the previous sand scratches. After block sanding, you usually don't have much left to finish sand or get it to a fine grit that can be painted over. If that doesn't help ask more ?s :)
Looks like a gravy job with biscuit wheels to me 😊
👍
You the man!
Master at work. Because his debris from welding didn't get near the interior panels!😊
When using the cheese are you looking for to know whats to be graded and what results do you get when you know you done cheese grading
Great ?. That's one of those things that come with doing it a few times. The main goal when starting to use the cheese grater is to just knock it down a bit to make sanding the filler easier. Once you get good at that you'll start to get it closer and closer to almost perfect. Basically knocking down all the high areas and staying away from the lows. Ask more ?s if needed :)
@@LakesideAutobody thanks I’ve been learning a lot and learning to understand a lot watching your vids keep up the great content
I have to work on my car outside currently, and can only do it on the weekends. Will a primer surfacer protect against rust in the meantime if it gets rained on or something?
It will be fine. Don't park it in the shade - park it somewhere that it can get a breeze and/or in the sun shine so it can stay as dry as possible. I've left lacquer primed panels outside months at times and never ran into any issues. If you see rust showing through, etc. then you'll want to hit it with the DA real quick and prime again before continuing :)
Hi Jerry. Awesome awesome job. Question: how long does auto paint or primer last if they aren't opened or mixed and sealed in the can from the manufacturer? What if you used a little out of the can, but sealed the can appropriately afterwards for both paint and primer?
At one shop I worked at there were cans of paint in the paint room that must have been 5-10 years old or more. I'm thinking quite a long time - my dad had some real old stuff on the shelves too that I would open and mix with other paint to change the color just a bit to try and match better. I really never found a can with hardened paint in it. Hope that helps a bit - that's been my experience at least :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thank you Jerry. So I guess as long as one does not add the hardner, reducer , etc. It should be okay. I guess if one had some for a while it would be better to make up a little sample, spray it and see if it cures up
@@gm-lb9oe If it is not gelled up like rubbery in the can you're good. As long as you can stir it and mix it w/ reducer and activator it will harden just fine :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thank you very much Jerry, your vids are awesome
@@gm-lb9oe Thanks for the kind words and support GM - have a good week my friend 🛠
I know essentially you could use your filler as a Guide coat but do you ever use guide coat ?
I only use a guide coat for primer. Like you said, you really don't need a guide coat either for primer if you use darker primers like red, etc.
what is the black thing that’s being used with the chain to pull the finder out?
That's a dozer type frame straightener like in this video - th-cam.com/video/7MwceT55Zjs/w-d-xo.html
I'm guessing you repaired the front fender instead of replacing it to make blending paint easier.
Yes - good thinking :)
Great video, except you forgot your metal etch.
u aren t here in hastings ne by chance theres a lakeside autobody here by the lake
No - I'm in Michigan - but by a lake too. Lake Saint Helen :)
Thanks for sharing. Hope all well with You and Yours. With all that cheese grating happening, it's time to order a pizza. As for the dust; an appropriate beverage is in order... HaveaSafe and Happy weekend. 👍
What's better than pizza on Friday night? Maybe cheese bread to go with it 😊
Hello from New York and a really quick question please. Just had my 2021 Dodge Durango repaired at a Geico express body shop. I had a collision with a deer that damaged my driver side door. When I got the car back I noticed that The door sounds hollow. When I tap on it with my knuckles it is obviously hollow and sounds like an empty can. The passenger side door does not make the sound at all. Do you have any idea what the body shop did or did not do to cause this empty sound?
Usually there is sound deadening material, foam blocks, thin gauge plastic under the inner door panel, etc. glued/stuck to the inside to eliminate the hollow sound and road noise. If that stuff was damaged in the accident, or damaged replacing the door they may have carelessly left it out and hoped to get away with it. It's sort of common. Good luck and let me know if you get it resolved.
@@LakesideAutobody thanks for the reply and on Christmas no less. I just subscribed. I'm not letting the body shop get away with it. They also left some orange peel on my car. I'll be nice about it and will only involve Geico if necessary.
@@gm1937 If you have a junk yard near by that allows customers in the yard, you could go see for yourself what the door is supposed to look like under the inner door panel or "card" as they call it in Europe 😊
how do you secure your pulling post to the concrete? Thanks
It butts up against the lift ramps or you can set it up the way it was meant like these illustrations - s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.autobodytoolmart.com/downloads/tech-sheets/BodyStraightener.pdf
Question?
If you are working with metal, shouldn't you be using metal fillers?😅😊
No - regular filler will work fine on any repair with metal. Here's some proof for you if interested - th-cam.com/video/idrLzsz2eLg/w-d-xo.html
I have one of these cars in a TT all wheel drive four wheel steering and it's never been wrecked
They are very unique and fun to drive with the 5 speed :)
Owl-Betsy Pistol Tack.😮?😊
How much does something like this cost
More than this car was worth as it was a total loss to an insurance co. I would say around 3-5000 ball park. I never wrote estimates - just worked as a body man 🥴 Merry Christmas 🎉🎅🎄😊
If I can tell I came to this industry not knowing anything, but since I started watching your video I'm busy killing the market with minimal experience
That makes my day Ditiro - really. Thanks for the support and good luck to you my friend :)
great repair and video. smoke cigrits
Thanks again Marty - always good to hear from you. Do you smoke cigrits?
Wonder how much something like this would cost getting done? 🤔
Well.. the car was totaled so what ever the KBB value is, the insurance co thought it would exceed that value :)
Wouldnt it be easier just to replace the panels?
Yes but it costs quite a bit more - not even sure if you can get a 3000GT quarter and fender :)
A lot of work. And people wonder why bodywork cost so much
16:37 Is that tire still inflated? Rim is bent to sh**.
It still held air 😅
@@LakesideAutobody 😲Wow! Must be a run flat tire. 😉😁
どのくらい捌いたら
ここまで速くなれるんだろう
見てくれてありがとう👍
What''s the most difficult job you guys have had in the shop?
I'd say one of the most difficult is a car hit by a semi tire that came off on the express way - that was in a shop I was working at. Another was an early 80s Town Car that side swiped a tree - had to make a big custom sized bondo spreader for that 🥴 This one was pretty bad too - had a bum arm at the time from slipping on the ice - hard to swing the hammer 😢 - th-cam.com/video/xbzGX4hW9qo/w-d-xo.html
@@LakesideAutobody I'm retired military. Retired after 20 years as a fleet mechanic. Half of my service I served in the Army and my other half I served in the Air Force. Only time I messed with any body work was a time we had a fleet of HUMMWV we had come in. Hand me down vehicles from another unit. 😁
The hoods had some damage to them . Cracks/holes. Hoods were fiber glass so we used fiber glass repair kits. Time consuming but not as complicated as the work you guys do on these videos. In the Air Force part of my training in the shop included some body shop work. The name of the body shop section was called Allied Trades.
Did some refresher welding with oxygen and acetylene. We had this mounted on our wrecker when we would go out to the field in the Army. I have always been a little nervous around welding with this stuff. Always thought it would blow up on me. Dont recall using tig/mig welder but they had this as well. This was around 2006. Good times.
@@EddieLeal Those do sound like good times. Every Sunday morning I have breakfast at the local VFW with a bunch of older guys that served - like Korean era, Vietnam, & 70's/80's era - really good guys and one of my favorite days of the week - love hearing other peoples' stories - have a good week Ed :)
@@LakesideAutobody Thank you sir. Take care and keep up the good work. 👍
@@EddieLeal You're welcome - thank you for serving 👍😊✌
Mom will never know what happened...
That would be good if you pulled that off and a parent never realized it :)
Laying
Put a j hook thru the hole and pull it out. Everybody wants to start welding on tabs right away and using a torch. Next you will start tearing metal and have a freaking mess The body line isn't going to come out if the dent isn't pulled out first
Usually using a j hook like that will cause further damage or tear metal that's why you use tabs, shims or even sheets of metal - to spread out the pulling area.
@@LakesideAutobody I sometimes use a stud gun, line up the pins close and use a moclamp and a Morgan knocker to pull body lines. A lot less heat introduced on the sheet metal. Just saying
@@johnnyshd8250 Good tips Johnny :)
😎👍👌✌️🖖🤓
Laying Mentira
Why not a glue gun with tabs.
Glue would fail trying to pull all of that metal. Would only work on flat areas
