Could have removed 2 door skins in the time it took to make this tool just by grinding around the edge and twisting the back piece off 40 years experience in the bodywork trade
24 grit on an air grinder , new skin. been doing bodywork for over 30 years , and never seen anyone remove a door skin and reinstall it. while your video looks impressive to someone that dont know , it has quite obviosly made a mess of the outside edge.
Right, I made the mistake he's promoting. What a mess. Grind the lip off even if you do reinstall the skin which probably is a mistake too but not as bad as trying to unbending the lip.
I guess if you’re working on newer stuff that has replacement skins available, your bodywork trick works. For a vintage vehicle that has no reproduction parts available and an owner that wants to keep as much original metal as possible, the 24 grit on a die grinder you propose would be the method making a mess of the skin. Restoration/preservation vs bodywork.
I used to be a body mechanic if I remember correctly the folds wet also spot welded. I never had to remove a skin in order to save it so we used to grind the lip through and then cut the spot welds in order for the 1/2 inch lip left over would strip off
YEP , If you do this and then snip between the spot welds , bend the ends up , grab and twist with vice grips it usually will pop the weld . All while not buggering up the inner of the door (that will make your new door skin look like crap) if you dont straighten it out first ;-)
I too spent years in the body repair industry.. When replacing the skin, trying to bend the lip out of the way takes way to long.. plus it tends to distort the inner flange .. angle grind the tip of the edge around the perimeter, and the skin falls free.. use needle nose locking pliers to coil and peel the thin inner lip that remains.. final clean and prep is a breeze from there.. done in no time..
20 years ago i did save parts from one Car for a other and used a Special Drill Bit Like a hole SAW to bore Out the spotwelds. And on my knipex i removed the tooth on one Side to save the outside Metal from the Car. If you buy new parts and Just remove the old with force Sounds so mutch more fun ;-) Greatz from Germany and have a nice Day opo
Stumbled onto this video, don't even do body work, but this was an innovative tool that anyone could make, great idea! Had to leave a comment and hit the like button.
Cool idea if that’s what you want to do. Just seems like it’s going to make you have more work from messing up and scratching the jam. Personally I use a grinder and grind the edge then the skin pulls right off and you have to do it pull off the thin inside piece left behind and replace with a new skin then seam seal scuff and paint the jam and it’s good as new.
Great idea, maybe you could use the end of an old wood chisel as the 'tooth', it would save some hassle bandsawing a block, the steel would be decent quality too.
I did many Using a Wide Flat Screwdriver Heat cherry red and make an L shaoe sharp in the front edge once lift swiggle side by sidelifting the edge of the door skin.
You didn't make it wide enough to get under and peel it back. Your panel will end up looking like a old soup can. 5 Star bodies, you can buy those panels cheaper than you can skin a old junk car
I made one of these exact tools for this very reason. I found that I tend to use a thick piece of metal to pry on so it doesn't mar up the metal. Funny enough Carter's channel just showed the one he made today: ua-cam.com/video/_LEL_ge0yUM/v-deo.html
Waste of time I can do it faster with a pair of channel lock angle wire cutters been using for years does it cleaner and no sparks shooting around from the grinder

Done the same thing for years... tiger paw will rip the edge smooth off in no time.

Cool video cool tool brother, everyone got an opinion when you need a tool and a
Many forget they can make a tool.

I love Vise-grips lol, very cool video I like your bench...
Thanks It’s a strong hand rhino cart I really dig it very modular.
Great job, thanks for sharing 👍

Very true that’s a good idea.
Ooooooh. Door skin.
Me too, dude. Keep your tool away from my tool. Dyxlesia me wants to keep my doorskin.
Harbor freight sell a cheap one that works good.
Good idea. I could use a tool like this for my truck build

Very cool!
Thank uou
Идея хорошая, но губки местами поменять надо, выгибает зажимную
Neat tool.
Thank you
What does this mean "Mötley Crüe" ?
Very Kool Tool!!
Thank you
Great idea👍
Thank you saw it on an all metal shaping forum and had to make it.
Cool tool.
Thank you

That’s rad. this one is modeled after one I saw on the allmetalshaping forum. Seems to work well I’ll find out on this second I have to repair
