First off when you all say magician, that’s an understatement because magicians never reveal their secrets😂. Ben took me in like a cub and taught me more in 3 days then I’ve learned in my 6 years of TH-cam. Can’t thank you enough brotha, keep up the grind 🔥🔥💪
When this guy had 30k subscribers I signed on. So good to see the well deserved success he's had over the years. Vtuned is one of the best body guys around.
Good job, glad to see you helping out friends ( hopefully a REAL one unlike a couple goon users I've seen in the past) ... I don't know who did that body pull, but I'd grab a lawyer...that work was rookie at best...horrible... but you fixed it the correct way. Thanks for the video.
I think to myself, "this looks pretty easy. I could probably do it", but then I remind myself that VTuned has been doing this his whole life, which is how he makes this look so easy, but also the results are insane! Good stuff man. Your work is quality like always.
And some people. Well they just can't !! Time is irrelevant you get it or you don't at the beginning. Those cuts are masterpiece. Not everyone panel beating for 10 yrs acquires that level of precision.
I’m liking the new style of your videos since you’ve been shooting them yourself You seem happier and more relaxed And this colab was a pleasant surprise Hope you do more of these
been watching you for a long time and would have to say this is one of your best videos. shows people you don't need a fancy shop to get results . would love to see more vids like this
Ben to the rescue! Nothing short of your usual brilliance. That is a long distance hug for a friend. Super job! I have to admit I thought that was the Supra from 23rd St. Garage. Perhaps your friend can send you some footage after it’s all done and buffed out and you can feature that on at the end of one of your future videos.
Man I’m always so impressed with your knowledge and quality of work. As a 45 year old man who doesn’t have near your knowledge of auto body work I tip my cap to you.
I own a body shop in Garner, NC watching you do work like this and the other repairs I've seen you do with Goonzquad makes me proud !!! You have so damn good skills for a young man !!
Bro, that was the new Delta Shores shopping center where that IN n out was at.lol....I'm sure im the only one who noticed it.lol... Toomany carmeets there to not notice.
Ben its great to see you doing what you are really really good at. A true professional when it comes to this type of bodywork. Such a nice change from the saga length Mustang cannibalisation.
To cut a guy down for pulling a 'post hit' to that area is sorta mean.He did a Great job pulling with welded tips and pulling.The over grinding hurt the fix though.There's no 'Before' pictures,but as a body worker;That hit a pole sideways' and the 1st guy tried hard,but it was too far gone.Don't cut a guy for trying.Kudos for the panel cut in and welds V.
Impressive. This video epitomized “work smarter, not harder.” People that are talented, knowledgeable, and that love what they do make difficult tasks look easy. Nicely done.
I like watching this sort of stuff, it's the kind of thing you really excel at. Teaches us we can do repairs in our garages at home too. Did you get a chance to look around LA?
Ben you are surly a great friend! To fly across the country to help out. Hot damn... you made that repair look easy. With minimal tools you did a killer job! A true craftsman you are. Stay safe and be well! Slava Ukraini
Its awesome to see this style of video. Very basic. Just goes to show how much can be done with some basic tools and the right amount of knowledge. A++
Really enjoy seeing the collision repairs. I have been trying for a while now to teach myself enough to be able to complete all the body metal swapping I'm doing on my own project which is a 65 mustang fastback. I have had a lot of problems with the old metal being so thin that it makes it very hard to butt weld in any sort of a repair because they want to blow through and also warp. I wind up doing it over 1,2,3 times on some of them and every time I cut the repair back out I cut more of the car just to find metal I can work with.
While you make it look easy, I am glad you mentioned it was in fact 2 1/2 days. Job looks a lot better than all that weld splatter. Having the right skills and improvising the tools you did not have makes a world of difference. I enjoyed this video a lot more than some of your more recent ones. What do you do with the VIN on the panel?
There should be no VIN issues with this repair. VIn is usually on driver side door jamb. If you are referring to other parts that may be stamped with a VIN you can keep your receipt of where he purchased the door or even the 1/4 panel if that has a VIN stamped in it.
that was a great video, love the way you helped out your friend, it will come back to you a hundred times more, hope you had a nice little vaca in Sacramento.
Ben, fantastic job, well done and looks as good as if you had worked on the car back in your own shop! If I could I would give you a second like, ...I was born and raised South of Sac in Bakersfield, ...but I'm now living in Tahiti, ...it's refreshing to see some California architecture...
This guy is a collision repair guru. I sure hope that when I need it, the work is done like vTuned would do, not like what the first guy did to that Supra 🤔😲😬
Great video. I like these occasional collaborations. Fun to see the master in a new setting teaching others! Hope you had some time to chill and enjoy CA too
Ben that repair was absolutely superb. You are such a good person the way you spend so much of your time helping others and seeing them learn from you. (I’ve been following you for several years now and every video is an absolute pleasure) live long and prosper young man!🖖
Ben, you've got a new Channel => Autobody on The Fly! ...Ben travels around the country (and Canada too) helping folks repair the shoddy work from unscrupulous shops. 😊 By the way, what's with the BMW Steering Wheel on the Subaru at 59 seconds on the way to the Airport?
Yeah it was a quick transition. But yes. Picked up in the BMW in Cali. But I wouldn't put it past him. lol Miata steering wheel in a Mustang and a BMW steering wheel in a Subaru.
Ben. you truly are a magician when it comes to this type of work... I see a new segment in your future.. People can fly all over the country to come out and work on their cars.. Great job..Well done!
why the fuck would you have someone fly out when any decent body shop in their area could do the same? the stupidity of the comment section here is hilarious.
Glad to see you're doing so well with your channel. I watched you years ago on goodzquad and knew you were the magic on their channel. They're good at building new houses and sheds but you were always the reason behind all their builds. I stopped watching them flounder like fish with that porshe when they finally called you up to show them how to use their frame machine. I can watch anyone spend money. But someone like yourself who has talent is really where its at.
08:09 - That gap is disgusting... Look how tight it is at the top and how open it is at the bottom, then it tightens back up which means you've got the patch panel crooked
Great job Ben. It looks good as new. When it's painted even the best body man wouldn't be able to detect the repair, I wonder how long it took to pull that dent with the stud puller. It would still take another day for bondo and sanding to get a second rate repair.
I can’t speak for the body man, but as a stamping engineer in the automotive industry I can say that this amateur repair is easily detected by observing the light reflectivity of the painted panel, particularly if the panel is painted black. Unfortunately, this repair violates the design and manufacturing of the vehicle body structure against water intrusion, by putting a weld line across sealing flanges, and in itself is a second rate job. The only viable body repair for this job is to replace the majority of the body panel, or pulling the panel out, depending upon the decision of the insurance rep, the body shop, and the car owner.
@@jvaubry This isn't an amateur repair. Ben's a professional body man. As a body man myself I can tell that this is an excellent repair and I'm sure Ben used seam sealer around the repair. Even if this was black you wouldn't see it in the reflection. Replacing the entire panel would require more welding and be harder to hide. Part of being a good body man is making an undetectable repair. That means making sure it doesn't show in the reflection. I've made stampings for small appliances. Toasters, can openers, blenders etc. As a mechanical engineer I've designed machinery and improved on existing designs and manufacturing systems. Body work was a hobby till I opened my own body shop. Today we're cutting up a 50 Buick sedan and turning it into a roadster pickup. It will be on my channel tomorrow. You can check it out and offer your criticism. I'm always open to suggestions.
@@alshotrodsandratrods8780 I agree with you that replacing the quarter panel would not be the preferred approach and that is why the insurance adjuster and the body shop attempted to pull out the panel. Anytime you cut an exterior closure panel you risk exposing the interior of the body structure to water intrusion. Generally, only the closure panels are manufactured with sheet steel that is galvanized for corrosion resistance at the mill.The interior structure panels are usually manufactured with bare sheet steel, which has minimal rust inhibitor applied during the dip for the body in white. For new car/truck designs, because these parts will never be exposed to water intrusion due to the way water intrusion is managed in the design and assembly of the body-in-white, unless these parts are exposed to water intrusion as a result of poor collision repair practices, such as this repair of putting weld lines across sealing planes. If water gets inside the body structure, the interior sheet metal parts will begin to corrode either through direct contact with the water, or indirectly as the water increases the humidity level of the air inside the body structure. When an oem builds thousands of vehicles for sale, water intrusion is a very serious design issue and if improperly managed at the design and manufacturing level of the body-in-white, can result in costly recalls to the oem.
@@alshotrodsandratrods8780 regarding defects in stamped panels, let me tell you that you can definitely see such imperfections in the panel when you have weld lines on panels. This is why you don’t manufacture closure panels from TWB(tailor-welded blanks) because the weld lines will show up under the paint. Seam sealer will not hide this because the light reflectivity picks up on the minutest distortion in the panel surface, whether due to heat from the weld or imperfections in the surface. This is why in the stamping industry a panel stamping is painted gloss black and observed under a halo of fluorescent lights to visually use the light reflections to look for surface defects in the panel, such as lows in the surface around door handle pockets, window corners at the belt-line, and fuel filler doors, etc. you can even see where the panel did not get enough stretch during the stamping operation. Not to diminish your expertise as a professional body man, but you are probably not as trained as I have been in the stamping industry to visually see these surface imperfections in stamped panels.
Although this is a way better repair than the one at first, it's still pretty shady if you are going by the book. For example no primer on spots, no glue in wheel well, and not to mention as the oem manual says, you cant change half of a qp. You will still need more bondo than if you used a new complete qp. I've been doing factory approved repairs for years.
Your the master Ben great job you’ve got skills never let anyone bring you down with there bogus comments. Let them roll of you like water off a ducks back.
I enjoy watching your posts. I enjoy watching and learning anything you do on the new and newer cars. I'm too old to work on these cars today. I learned to work on the 1960's and early 70's cars. Body on frames, engines that were all mechanical. No computer & sensors, no unitized body & frame, no front wheel drives except the Olds Toronado & Cadillac Eldorado, upper & lower control arms with coil springs, leaf springs, or torsion bars. No McPherson Struts suspensions. I guess the 65 Mustang was the first car to have a few elements of modern cars. You could change the shock absorbers on older cars without disturbing the springs. Anyway...rambling on reminiscing.
This proves that “professionals” is just a name.. good job vTune for fixing up the mess. And making it up to your friend for those “professionals that are out there
Master Ben working on the fly. I love how talented you are man and your humility goes before you bro. You are a true artist in the craft. Keep em coming.
Rock and roll if you don't mind being gone from home you could have the best you tube channel ever because we would never know where you would be going next,but really you at your own shop is awesome and thanks for helping out someone that a bad situation and you made it. Better thanks to v tune👍
You did that in 2 1/2 days !! You my friend are a genius , the way you just wade in or that's how it looks ,but I'm sure you use the adage measure three times and cut once. Brilliant , I know you've been doing this for years and the Mustang is coming on a treat as well. Keep up the good work and keep the video's coming. If I may have one other comment please wear some sort of gloves when you are cutting and chiselling of the body panels , one slip and , well something nasty happening to your skin which I wouldn't want to see happen.

I'm a career auto body tech, and you guys did a great job. First time finding this channel and was skeptical at the start, and surprised by the end
Awesome to help out a fellow car guy in distress. Love the vid. I would like to see more like this.
You are an awesome friend for dropping everything and flying out and fixing this quarter panel for him
Incredible work man! Nice job, love the vids
Awesome work Ben . Your channel needs more of these short quality builds .
U are a 🐐 when it comes to this💯🔥
Thanks
Master Ben working on the fly. I love how talented you are man and your humility goes before you bro. You are a true artist in the craft. Keep em coming.
he is truly average in his craft.
Nice job Ben !!! What a night and day difference on that fix! The other guy probably worked on that 4 times as much, and still no comparison.
Nice work 👏 Ben. Either do it right or don't do it at all. Quality work matters.
Your craftsmanship is superb.
Good to see someone using a guard on a cut-off wheel. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Traveling body work from VTuned--prolly out of my price range! Good job, Ben!
I will fly you to Canada 🇨🇦 to fix my truck soon. You are good at what you do man. Keep it up
Rock and roll if you don't mind being gone from home you could have the best you tube channel ever because we would never know where you would be going next,but really you at your own shop is awesome and thanks for helping out someone that a bad situation and you made it. Better thanks to v tune👍
You did that in 2 1/2 days !! You my friend are a genius , the way you just wade in or that's how it looks ,but I'm sure you use the adage measure three times and cut once. Brilliant , I know you've been doing this for years and the Mustang is coming on a treat as well. Keep up the good work and keep the video's coming. If I may have one other comment please wear some sort of gloves when you are cutting and chiselling of the body panels , one slip and , well something nasty happening to your skin which I wouldn't want to see happen.
You do some fabulous work I’ve been watching your videos for about a year
