Back in the 90's building the 80's Chevy trucks I would put a nail in my slide body puller and weld it to it to keep from drilling holes worked good. 👍
It works really good especially in a crease. I’ve done it for years too. Never seen anyone else do it. I used to have an old pair of vice grips I welded a cheap slide hammer that was the screw in type to the adjuster screw and could put it on in smaller dents.
@@Classictruckgarage yeah pulling the center of a hood it worked great of course that was before the stud welders was affordable but like you I worked with what I had.Keep up the videos I'll be watching.
I have used that same patch pannel a few times, last time I bought it, they were $50 each from summit. And I cut them up, the leftovers were used to fix other stuff.
These were the first full wheel well I’ve done. I’ve done quite a few of the upper arch and lower corners before. This was kinda of a pain. Luckily we measured off of my bed to get the wheel well where it needed to be
@Classictruckgarage they cameout good and will last... the guys that cob up the holes and fill with bondo and beer cans, it's more expensive than just buying the sheet metal
It takes alot of work to grow a channel. I been working on mine for 5 years and I am at 2152 subscribers. I am in my channel for long term and in a few years I will do my channel content full time. I have 7 k5 blazers I try working on when I can.
I buy them from harbor freight lol. That’s where most of my stuff comes from. They are very handy. The hard drive magnets are handy also but will pinch a blood blister on your finger quick.
I have never seen the hammer, nail, 2x4 trick before... I love it
I’m no body man. I painted my first truck around 92 and this was something that just popped in my head the first bad dent I tried to get out.
I had a pair of vice grips that I welded an old screw slide hammer to also back then. I could clamp it to a nail and get smaller dents out.

Looks great once again
@@kwood2058 thanks. How’s yours coming along?
@@Classictruckgarage I’ve been busy doing a hundred other things, haven’t touched it in two weeks. Going to get back at it Thursday night
I like the clamps, where do you get them? I also like the screwdriver work, keeps stuff straight
