Most impressive the way that glue and 2 x 4 could hold up the weight of that Daytona porta power. Amazing repair. Body Tech of 35 years practice with PDR rods and cold glue pulling and glue pulling for 10 years now
I have done similar to this using a friction jack...but back in my day we hadnt figured out that hot melt glue holds this well. I had to remove paint and weld on pull plates. I am in absolute awe that this is even possible.
Hey Mr steel I am a body tech still learning and working.. I started in 85 I love what I see in Pdr seems like the way forward and may I say you sir have an incredible, dowtless hard one talent
@@Val2073,it should cost more ,no bondo, no paint , only hours of down time, doesn’t go on carfax, doesn’t lower car value, doesn’t fade in one year from unmatched paint.
1 month in doing body work for a high-volume repair shop, I can't wait to get some tools but flintstone tools will work until I can afford to. I couldn't believe my eyes when you pulled that dent that would save me some time. been watching videos for a month now and the PBR are the good ones. Its amazing what you can learn online.
Out of the trade for some time Had about 18 thousand in tools that are now useless because it's either panel replacement or total the car Very sad for real body techs
Amazing skills! I’ve never seen anything like This. Great stuff man ! I don’t know too much of dents and such things but I can tell you this work was magnificent
Amateur here, but done some bodywork and welding, and watched lots of your videos andused some your techniques, too, to bump out some dents, but I was pretty surprised when that PP pulled that fender Forward away from the door and spread that dent back to near normal ! Great work! Really pays to know the mechanics of moving metal.
Who would've thought, hot glue and wood blocks! Thank you man! The suction cup, would not hold on to the dent on my MC gas tank. Think you just gave me the solution. Again, Thanks!
I have a 4 ton Big Red PP and it works great with the orange pull tabs or blocks of wood. I love the new metal medic lateral tension system with the new anti rive pull tabs.
Very impressive man of steel. You are one of the PDR guys on TH-cam I’m seriously thinking about changing careers and I’m learning a lot from you Mahalo from Hawaii
I’m new to the channel, I’m looking to learn pdr. I found your videos to be very helpful. I do mechanic work now but is switching over to paint, body, and pdr
I love this job it motivates me every day i had my own pdr buissiness but the corona destoyd me and my buissiness now im starting afresh.thank you for the motivation
Thank, Thank you, Thank you, You are the best, Keep up the good work, You are a car super hero🎉, We love you, Thanks for not being selfish and instructing the public, Your time and effort it's greatly appreciated.
I would love to learn all your tips. I love buying repairable cars and trucks to work on and sell. This would be most helpful. I'm also a welder, so the two trades would complement the other. Awesome video my brother.
Thanks for your excellent presentations. I have done some small things for myself and need to do some now on my minivan, so I am trying to learn things. Peace.
Once again, I am seriously impressed. I never would have thought to do it like this. My approach wold have been to push the body line out, using a 2X2 horizontally against the line. I dont have fancy modern PDR tools. So I would have used an old leaf spring to leaver off the tire on one side. The round "Bushing" side of the spring would push against my 2X2 from the back. While under pressure, I would be working the crown with my slapping spoon, and then my big Snap-On dinging hammer (the big round one with the shrinking face on the one end, smooth on the other). There is no way I could have done this without breaking the paint. I would have to do the final finishing using old school pick and file methods (starting with sand paper to minimize metal removal). I am going to start a management position at a shop soon. I will be making sure all the bodymen see your videos.
Awesome video!! Love it I use to do body fender work ,now I am trying to learn this technique. I bought some tools to learn, dents that I see I ask if I can practice on their car at no charge.
I'm thinking about starting the next chapter of my life with a new career and PDR and my part of the country seems to be non-existent except the dealership level and a guy that travels around and works on dealer vehicles I would love to get into this I've been watching different videos of yours or other guys so I'm All About Learning there's just nowhere locally to go to pick anything up and I know a lot of it's self-taught technique but there are things that I think a professional like you can teach and obvious like me to bring me up to speed quicker to have a viable income in the long run
Have used a portapower jack for almost everything haha. I got into doing bodywork as a kid restoring old classic cars with a old guy I worked for and learned from then for about a decade I did custom car work shaving frenching chopping sheet metal shaping haha use to always be going to to big events and have a couple shop trucks usually bagged lowridders but idk the market got where the only clientele for that work locally was people who wanted what they couldn’t afford and you ended up owning half the vehicles you worked on then had to sell a custom bagged vehicle that had $50k in hours on it and daily driving it was not a option haha . I only paint my own stuff nowdays are relatives are freinds I’m a painter at heart but the prep work mainly the body work is what makes a good painter. I loved putting some older Cadillac taillights in a in a newer truck with fully shaved handles and a hand made grill Building custom steel wheel wells and all the fun stuff. I finally sold the last frame dropped 1/2 ton I kept it for years as a toy but idk I’m getting older I don’t like the attention myself anymore I like a stock pickup preferably a lariat on the insides and a xlt on the outside. I do have to admit I never used a hot glue gun and some wood blocks on a body job ever haha. I’d been interested in seeing the reveal on the door and hood with it shut at the end and to the bumper how well it lined back up. It looked a lot better than what it did I’ve never worked in a insurance job shop but I’d of prob ordered a new fender painted it matched the clear orange peel as best I could to the old paint and had a laborer install it. Id hate to argue with someone it not being good enough and you could always get it close enough for most peoples eyes like this but idk I’ve had people complain on jobs and try to beat up the price on some show pieces haha I always tell them same thing if you don’t like it I’ll take it all off and give you back your car your material deposit is gone though. Your choice. After I had done went over the car with a white glove and a flashlight if someone was complaining about something I new they were just trying to be cheap. My best customers where always the ones you would least expect though the more years in prison they had done the faster they would hand you cash haha. The guy just was a local business owner who could easily afford it good luck he’d be the asshole who didn’t like the color he picked out haha. Man I’m glad I’m out the business just thinking about it but I do miss the work part I enjoyed the hands on work part oddly I just hated everything else like dealing with people haha.
Impressive, I have a minivan that slid in to a rail the damage isn't as bad as this , all I hear is pulling and bondo, and repaint, I wish I could get it repaired by you.
I will eventually get a porta power as the one that I was given needs new seals. Due to financial constraints, I will probably have to go with a Harbour Freight porta power.
Woow🎉, this was one, most bodyshops will tell the customer to replace it. You just saved it for being wasted. Impressive
Marin you are right on. Thank you for your insight.

Great demonstration. I went to TH-cam University to learn auto body myself. It's videos like this one that really help. Thanks man.
Glad it was helpful!
That’s a great technique with the porta power. That’s the first time to see that. Thank you for sharing!

this actually cost more than replacing.
@@Val2073 Certainly not.
It actually does. Probably a 1 to 2k repair
