Hey Mr steel I am a body tech still learning and working.. I started in 85 I love what I see in Pdr seems like the way forward and may I say you sir have an incredible, dowtless hard one talent
Out of the trade for some time Had about 18 thousand in tools that are now useless because it's either panel replacement or total the car Very sad for real body techs
1 month in doing body work for a high-volume repair shop, I can't wait to get some tools but flintstone tools will work until I can afford to. I couldn't believe my eyes when you pulled that dent that would save me some time. been watching videos for a month now and the PBR are the good ones. Its amazing what you can learn online.
Amazing skills! I’ve never seen anything like This. Great stuff man ! I don’t know too much of dents and such things but I can tell you this work was magnificent
Who would've thought, hot glue and wood blocks! Thank you man! The suction cup, would not hold on to the dent on my MC gas tank. Think you just gave me the solution. Again, Thanks!
Very impressive man of steel. You are one of the PDR guys on UA-cam I’m seriously thinking about changing careers and I’m learning a lot from you Mahalo from Hawaii
Amateur here, but done some bodywork and welding, and watched lots of your videos andused some your techniques, too, to bump out some dents, but I was pretty surprised when that PP pulled that fender Forward away from the door and spread that dent back to near normal ! Great work! Really pays to know the mechanics of moving metal.
I’m new to the channel, I’m looking to learn pdr. I found your videos to be very helpful. I do mechanic work now but is switching over to paint, body, and pdr
I love this job it motivates me every day i had my own pdr buissiness but the corona destoyd me and my buissiness now im starting afresh.thank you for the motivation
I have a 4 ton Big Red PP and it works great with the orange pull tabs or blocks of wood. I love the new metal medic lateral tension system with the new anti rive pull tabs.
I would love to learn all your tips. I love buying repairable cars and trucks to work on and sell. This would be most helpful. I'm also a welder, so the two trades would complement the other. Awesome video my brother.
Thank, Thank you, Thank you, You are the best, Keep up the good work, You are a car super hero🎉, We love you, Thanks for not being selfish and instructing the public, Your time and effort it's greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your excellent presentations. I have done some small things for myself and need to do some now on my minivan, so I am trying to learn things. Peace.
You forgot one in the middle of the hood!! Just kidding!! 🙂 Great lesson learned here! Thank you, brother!! I would love to do that daily, instead of what I'm doing now for a living... Yes, I'm having some tools and I used them on my cars with really good results for a beginner, thank to cool guys like you!!! Thank you for showing us all that!!
I'm getting a HF Porta Power your vid gave me insight to help me. My right fender is a little messed up and the bumper, valance need replacement. I was checked by someone that was eating Sunflower Seeds While on their phone on a Service road at 17 mph impact when I was behind and they Jammed their brakes on hard as hell while on the clock. I diverted but clipped em. I'm wondering how to shape the wheel well since the impact slightly displaced the fender flair. I also have to fix a mount bracket #10 on the Chassis on the 2003 Tacoma since it was pushed in 3/4 to 1 inch. Looks simple enough. Thanks
Awesome video!! Love it I use to do body fender work ,now I am trying to learn this technique. I bought some tools to learn, dents that I see I ask if I can practice on their car at no charge.
I'm thinking about starting the next chapter of my life with a new career and PDR and my part of the country seems to be non-existent except the dealership level and a guy that travels around and works on dealer vehicles I would love to get into this I've been watching different videos of yours or other guys so I'm All About Learning there's just nowhere locally to go to pick anything up and I know a lot of it's self-taught technique but there are things that I think a professional like you can teach and obvious like me to bring me up to speed quicker to have a viable income in the long run
Have used a portapower jack for almost everything haha. I got into doing bodywork as a kid restoring old classic cars with a old guy I worked for and learned from then for about a decade I did custom car work shaving frenching chopping sheet metal shaping haha use to always be going to to big events and have a couple shop trucks usually bagged lowridders but idk the market got where the only clientele for that work locally was people who wanted what they couldn’t afford and you ended up owning half the vehicles you worked on then had to sell a custom bagged vehicle that had $50k in hours on it and daily driving it was not a option haha . I only paint my own stuff nowdays are relatives are freinds I’m a painter at heart but the prep work mainly the body work is what makes a good painter. I loved putting some older Cadillac taillights in a in a newer truck with fully shaved handles and a hand made grill Building custom steel wheel wells and all the fun stuff. I finally sold the last frame dropped 1/2 ton I kept it for years as a toy but idk I’m getting older I don’t like the attention myself anymore I like a stock pickup preferably a lariat on the insides and a xlt on the outside. I do have to admit I never used a hot glue gun and some wood blocks on a body job ever haha. I’d been interested in seeing the reveal on the door and hood with it shut at the end and to the bumper how well it lined back up. It looked a lot better than what it did I’ve never worked in a insurance job shop but I’d of prob ordered a new fender painted it matched the clear orange peel as best I could to the old paint and had a laborer install it. Id hate to argue with someone it not being good enough and you could always get it close enough for most peoples eyes like this but idk I’ve had people complain on jobs and try to beat up the price on some show pieces haha I always tell them same thing if you don’t like it I’ll take it all off and give you back your car your material deposit is gone though. Your choice. After I had done went over the car with a white glove and a flashlight if someone was complaining about something I new they were just trying to be cheap. My best customers where always the ones you would least expect though the more years in prison they had done the faster they would hand you cash haha. The guy just was a local business owner who could easily afford it good luck he’d be the asshole who didn’t like the color he picked out haha. Man I’m glad I’m out the business just thinking about it but I do miss the work part I enjoyed the hands on work part oddly I just hated everything else like dealing with people haha.
Impressive, I have a minivan that slid in to a rail the damage isn't as bad as this , all I hear is pulling and bondo, and repaint, I wish I could get it repaired by you.
I will eventually get a porta power as the one that I was given needs new seals. Due to financial constraints, I will probably have to go with a Harbour Freight porta power.
wow nice work i would of never thought it posibl i have 20 ton portpower i think it alide brand been using it for 30 years but need to find seal for pump now it leaks little bit for the blead off valve
Woow🎉, this was one, most bodyshops will tell the customer to replace it. You just saved it for being wasted. Impressive
