New subscriber. I've been doing collision repair for 25 years. Had a bad hail storm come through 3 years ago and hired a storm chaser pdr tech to sub.i was in awe of the work and wanted to learn. The tech told me I'll never get it because we're "panel beaters" . I've been practicing ever since and continue to upgrade tools and equipment. I will admit I've struggled and continue to with bad habits. But it continues to make me better. I've just recently started advertising pdr with my shop. There's not many techs around my area. So word is spreading and jobs are coming in. So I really enjoy guys like you who are proud of their work and love to share it. It's much appreciated with a converting panel beater. Thank you
It’s great to see people who are good at what they do. Almost doesn’t matter what it is. Competence and excellence are always fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your skills.
I've been an autobody technician for years,and I wished I would have learned these procedures early on. Thanx for sharing. I'm going to try to use these steps on all my metal work. GBU
Amazing repair as always, Clark. I would have liked to have seen your customer's face when picked up the car repaired, he wouldn't belived it. Well done, Master! 👌🔝🔝🔝💯💯💯
I say ship it!!! Love the wood tab to pull. Love watching you go after these big dents and using post puller. Good stuff! I usually try to make it out to Palm every year or every other. I haven’t been there for three years. Coming out for training would give me a reason to come to Cali!! See ya soon...
Really nice. I remember long ago you'd drill a hole and use a dent puller. I'm looking forward to trying this. I think this has potential in many ways. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks MAN OF STEEL. The real BEST OF THE BEST. I wish one day we will meet you and can watch you personally how you fix a major dent. Thanks for another videos. Watching you from Philippines
What a calming, OCD friendly video. Amazing work! Lovely video! Maybe get a video editting team because you will be busy making content. Good luck and keep up the art!
Having watched lots of your videos I noticed that when panels are dented they often pull the surrounding metal out of shape. Many times you attach tabs and pull in directions to correct this effect, versus just pushing the dent out - doing this reduces the “slack” in the metal, making it lie down to the proper contour. In this case I would have guessed that pulling across the wheel opening and taillight opening might have benefited from a little pulling, in addition to what you did. Either way, as always, very nice result!
I agree. I wonder what compels him to use the porta-power-wood-block “panel spreader” approach, versus pulling from the direction of impact, or at least around the axis of impact. I think most of us understand that we can’t just try to pull a panel exactly in reverse of how it got dented, and that’s a big part of this. But what do you think makes him do it laterally or on axis? Also, some dents, creases, dimples, and such, simply will not go back into shape because they have been altered in a way that can’t be reversed. I like the lateral pulls when you’ve got a wrinkle that just needs to be smoothed, like how you snap a fabric with a mild wrinkle to try shock the wrinkle out of the fabric, but try scrunching up a sheet of aluminum foil, and then get it back to its previous perfect state. Good luck, but I’d guess that it could always be heated enough to then be drawn through the rolling press to form that sheet in the first place. Those creases along the bumper cover line look like the non-conformist types. And near that edge the paint is chipped and flaked off. Uh oh. Better call some paint. ??????
i have been using the blue tequila cold temp glue lately in midwest seems to pull better than tab weld for me.i bought some anson black but haven't tryed it yet..I have a addiction to glue haha Love your videos 30 year bodyman here and many award muslecars under my belt and pdr for last 8 years still learning .Body is getting wore down but feel young watching you.love your videos you sure make it look easy.Keep up the good work! You can never stop learning for sure
Hello teacher, I have searched online for the tablets with rings and I cannot find them ... would you be so kind as to guide me please? ... Thanks in advance
That dent/crease PDR repair is the best I have ever seen . Very impressive techniques and strategy. I like your floor mount puller, I need one. About how many hours was that repair?
How come there are dislikes... what flatearther/anti-masker/karen, would not see this as an amazing performance by a human being and click on the dislike button?!?

I love to watch your videos, I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I had learned so much from your techniques , and I need to fix a big dent on my corolla , someone back up in the parking lot and hit my rear door and the rear quarter panel, maybe a 10" ×8" damage between the passenger rear door and the rear tire, now I need some of those tools if I want to fix it right
Good Evening Man of Steel, this is another great pulling video; you just eat these for breakfast. Just signed up and I was wondering who makes your "Auto Body Post Puller". Looks light enough to wheel around and strong enough to pull any job? Thanks, keep pulling those big ones.
I would like to see some safety goggles being used when tapping away so close to the bar and clips - better to be safe than sorry if it lets go. Always impressive work you do - HA - and any insurance loss adjuster would be pleased with your detailed outline of each and every step required - or at least it allows you the 'upper hand' when they start questioning about the time required to complete. Nice work. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Dude that’s awesome. I wish my son and you were best friends lol. That’s a great job and great job putting it to informational video not as easy as some would think more than point and record. But that whole different thing. Ur great at what u do manipulating metal thin metal. I’m welder , fabricator I think thicker is little easier weld and grind to fit. So I applaud you thanks and stay safe
Nice work I got a dodge nitro I may try to pdr some dents on. I see you used alcohol to remove the glue. What else works when the glue is stuck on the body. I’ve had that happen maybe it was just cheap glue??
Why do you use a map gas torch instead of a heat gun, especially right in front of the booth? I'm just thinking of all the flammables in the paint shop. Your work is amazing! I've been a painter since the 90's and now I want to learn how to do this.
Sean thank you for your comment.. you can use a heat gun as well.. it’s not fast enough for me and you need to set up a 4 heat guns to heat the whole panel
Hi, I have a similar dent, only smaller. Everywhere I asked, where they do PDR, told me that it's not doable. Where can I send you a few photos to give me your opinion? Thank you in advance and good luck with the PDR jobs. You're the best I've seen!
Hi, Unfortunately, I don't know the website. Can you please send me the address. In the meantime, I insisted at one of the specialists that did PDR on my car before, and that also told me that is not doable, and he tried his best, but unfortenately he pushed some dents from the inside out, that he said will not be visible after I paint the car. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Good luck with everything you've got going.
You are amazing with your expertise and techniques! One question that keeps popping up in my mind is will these techniques work on American metal (in this case, an '83 Dodge PU)? Modern metal is so thin and apparently quite flexible/malleable. Just more muscle required or completely different techniques? Thanks!
You are great at this art of pulling and working with metal.Would like to bring my 71 Pontiac GP to you,I want to save the original paint as much as possible for now,I drive it as much as possible.Can dents on 70s cars be pulled out like these newer cars? The paint on my car is great,shines like new but there are four dents I would like to have fixed,after I pass it on to my kids,they can restore it but right now I gotta drive it.
