Nice to see us old school guys still showing there are skills to learn instead of the throw away and buy new youngsters of today,
This guy is a real artist, someone who has taken in so many aspects of his trade.
Excellent vid. There are few of us file finishers left and they don't even teach lead wiping at tech school anymore. At around the 10 min mark is where I would use a dust coat of black as a guide when filing. Also I use a wooden file as I find the flexible file can flex just when you don't want it to and always hold the file with both hands to ensure the file is flat on the steel. People don't understand that the file is used to show highs and lows and and isn't for the actual smoothing of the steel.
Of course it also needs to be understood that the quality of steel in modern cars, does not lend itself to a file finish repair.
So many guys say I'm going to keep this short or simple then proceed to make a 45 minute long video and still don't cover everything! LoL, you did a excellent job on the repair and explained it just perfectly! I have been doing body work for a long time but i still like watching others doit to compare techniques and to pickup on new tips that will help me become better at metal working. Just found your channel today actually and I'm glad I did! Thanks for sharing with all of us!!
Best instruction I've found on you tube...he actually teaches and is very professional. Thank you!
I wish more of this was done in US. So satisfying to watch such skillful work. I don't know what I envy most, the panel beating skills or that Rock and Roll hair ! Fantastic.
@Randy Bingham explain
Mysteries and secrets of metal finishing revealed. Thanks for your amazing videos Trev. You are a genuine artist.
dave maccarter Thanks Dave I’m glad you found it educational. Cheers Trev 👍
You're not a mechanic. You're an artist. Incredible.

He’s not a mechanic, he’s a panelbeater!
Trev as i mentioned time and again, you are an artist! Period!
You give us all such great inspiration! Beautiful work! Love your style and dedication to skills becoming lost in our 'throw away' societies. Bravo!
Don't you love it when you can get a dolly to reach ! Brilliant demo.
lol isn't that the truth!!
Being an auto body repair man for 40 years now all I can say to you is thank you for helping to keep a lost art/skill alive. I have several slap files and spoons that new comers out of trade schools have never seen or have been taught to use. Keep up the great old school workmanship
Thank you for these videos, I’m learning a great deal from them.
Your work is amazing. 👍
Just magic watching that dent melt away and disappear! Loving this channel and all the repairs and tips obviously in the hands of a master craftsman.
Great video...really enjoyed watching an old fashioned technique being so effective!
Great work Trev. REAL craftsmanship!
Nice work. Iam a metal repairman at Ford motor company I can only use lead or a couple coats of prime to build with I use a eagle alot the file isn’t going to lie to you been doing metal repair about 15 yrs your a real pro
Thank you for this video. It's great watching a master craftsman at work.
Great to see you back. Will be going through these older videos and hope to see more tips and tricks in the future. Thanks
Robin Charlton ore new videos in the pipeline, it’s a shame I had to upload the old ones again but it’s going to save me grief in the long run. Cheers Trev
Superb video, very instructive without the usual 20 minute preamble you get from other garages that are on UA-cam.
I have subscribed. Thank you, all the best, Dave.
Always been curious about automotive metal working, great video.
My dad did this type of body work car building before I was born , went into towing and moving into big rig towing he passed and I inherited his toolbox
I found drawers of these tools 😞 now I’m interested in using his tool to work on my own street rods I’ve never done body work just Engine building , but with these I’m going to start 🙏🏻👍🏻 thank you for passing this on
Great vids for the folks working on impossible to find body panels. Great haircut....very period correct. Thanks much for sharing. Best to you and yours.
A nice light touch with control, love it! Great Channel.
Great job , look forward to seeing more of your work...
Really appreciate you sharing trade secrets.Thanks.
Trev that’s amazing,I can’t believe how you got that dent out...fantastic mate keep em coming 👍
I have just started a restoration on a TR6. As mechanic the body work costs have always deturred me from restoring a car . Thankyou for passing on your amazing skill set it has given me the confidence to attempt more of the body work.
Thanks for transmitting your craftsmanship skills with so much dexterity and explained to utter perfection. Regards, Dan
Handmade in perfection, I immediately left a subscription, Greetings from Germany
G'day from West Australia,
😉🙂👍👍
Boy do I miss doing this kind of stuff.
So cool to see someone with the skills I was taught. Helps keep my skills alive 🙂 thanks much appreciated indeed😉🙂👍👍
Delighted to have come across this channel!
Binging on videos now, never done a days bodywork in my life...but I’m enthralled!!
Davewagon Hey Thanks 🤩. Your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
Dude.. metal Bondo. Lol
Nice to see this skill not lost. Thanks for sharing.
Reverse hammering.. insane.
Stunning, Trev! Cheers. Leigh.
With a 67 GM truck, I can do this as the best part is, it’s wide open behind for the most part. It actually has metal in the panels. The panels for the most part, all unbolt making reaching around easier.
A dent like that, displaces metal around it. By pushing up, slapping the toe dolly around the dent, working toward the middle. Each time, this lifts the metal upward and pulling the displaced metal inward. This is a unique way to to reduce product use, achieve a flatter surface to start any repair toward a completed finish. It eliminates “Oil Canning” effect from just filling as that alone and will not cut it in many places, creating more problems. I want a heavy slapping file like that one. It has to be at least 10 mm thick or almost 7/16”. Thanks!
Incredible, how one video can explain something ive wondered for years, i had an idea of how this works but never seen it done. everything is just filler nowadays, not true metal crafting. gonna binge for a while. just earned another sub, excellent info!
Thank you for your work making these videos and greetings from Sweden! After the garage is restored I will start working on a tractor. I have been working a bit with correcting panels but I really need more good advice as yours.
Yes, excellent workmanship and well explained too, many thanks
Love your videos man and that pomp is on point mate! 👍🏻
Top job. As usual Trev. Nice work.
Wow your the man Trev. Excellent video
Although I restore cars every day I still can't get enough of these vids 👍👍👍
space traveler Hey Thanks your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
I'm with you brother!!! Live,breath and stink up the air car guy here!!!
Thanks for sharing your skill and wisdom. This technique will come in handy on my rebuild!
thats the right way to repair. amazing work, amazing skills.
for newbies like me just putting the bondo and sanding, already finished. haha
Very fascinating. Clearly demonstrated. Most enjoyable.
Great video, nice and simple. Thanks for finishing to a polish so that we can see the resulting quality. Very helpful!
Thank you for these great videos. Very informative
Well done Trev very educational.
I love the way you show us how it's done very informative top work
Great job, I am impressed, working on a 4-15-1942 rare army Jeep, Thank you for your videos !
Thanks for using simple tools. Great video!
mjm McG Hey Thanks 🤩
that was a fantastic lesson, thank you Trev.
Metal done right, just as I used to watch the craftsmen do it in the 50s and 60s ! Some of the guys still used lead filler, but first generation plastic fillers were coming on strong. Dad's friends in auto restoration showed me how to then shoot Dupont 30S or 60s giller primers... Old memories you are bringing back watching the panels come back to life.
Nice job looks great you are a sheet metal pro👍
Super Trev, thanks, really useful. What a art!
You make it look so easy, thank you for sharing.
Truly a lost art.... fantastic video Trevor!
Brice Kelly hey Brice! Hope all is well! Trevor, you should google CFL paintless dent repair, Brice is one of the top techs in our industry.
I enjoyed the video (and learned from it), but REALLY enjoyed the after-credits! You do some very creative and well-executed work!
Trev! Dude! You are the man! I learn so much over your shoulder. That repair is fabulous and the van is really looking terrific :) Thanks so much for taking the time to show us :)
Steve Canny Hey Thanks 🤩, your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
I' m not sure what I like more: your skills or your Pomp hairstyle. Keep rocking!
The before and after of that dent is pretty darn impressive! Nice work and video chap!
Wow, you made that look so easy. Great display of skill there. Yes, I did learn something new. Thanks.
Mark Presling Hey Thanks 🤩, your comment is very much appreciated. Cheers Trev 👍
