  • In this bodywork how-to we will be using Hammer and Dolly to perform dent removal. Metal working is a crucial part of the restoration body work process. Travis will be discussing what goes into getting a panel straight (sheet metal repair & dent repair) prior to applying filler. A big thanks to Ken Sakamoto for teaching his knowledge and taking the time to help us in our journey. Thanks for watching and we hope you learned something about how to use a hammer and dolly.

    So glad you are covering this. I have a 66 F100 roof with 1/4" filler all over that I'm in the process of removing. The whole roof is oil canning, and cut up from 25 year old resto previous owner did. I think someone was jumping on this roof and caved it in. I'm hoping to salvage this roof as I can't find a replacement panel and used ones are pretty expensive. Can't wait for the next video! Great job!

      @@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Thanks. What I’m getting is low spots on both sides of my seam from shrinkage. I was careful with heat, but it still happened. My weld seems even with the main surface, but just has valleys along both sides of it. Maybe I’m not being aggressive enough, but hammering the welds directly on a dolly hasn’t seemed to bring the valleys up. I was thinking my backside penetration needed ground down as it’s bumpy on the back. Trying to avoid filler. Thanks.

  • @Brian-nf4sd
    @Brian-nf4sd Рік тому +1

    Great info. I have always gotten it close and finished with filler but after watching your video I am trying to finish it perfect. I too have been doing it wrong for a long time. I had a question on the technique for removing the dent. If hammer on dolly stretches metal and hammer off shrinks it how is using hammer on dolly removing the dent? I tried your technique and it definitely works which was really cool. But I can’t wrap my mind around why if the dolly on the backside and I’m hammering on dolly why it’s not making the dent stretch and get worse. Instead it’s bringing the dent back up which means it’s shrinking the stretched metal right? I hope my question makes sense.

    • @SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS
      @SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS  Рік тому +1

      Thank you. Hammer off dolly does not shrink it. It only moves metal around. The only way cold shrinking works is where hammer on dolly is pushing the high spot of metal in on itself. Once you start to hear the loud ting noise you are no longer shrinking you are stretching. I hope that makes sense. Maybe watch it again if it doesn’t make sense let me know.
