    It’s really cool to watch someone reverse the impact scenario and see the pressure points relieve themselves. A true sign of a good body man. Spent some years around a heavy collision shop. Waiting for the next installment.

    This is going to be another interesting build. A low mileage vehicle like this will be a great option for someone looking for reliable transportation at an affordable price. You're not only going to keep it out of the scrap pile but also going to help someone get solid transportation.

    Bought a 2013 Enclave loaded, when the second generation first came out late that same year. Sold it 6-months ago to CarMax with 36,000 miles. Best SUV on the market. Comfortable with the smoothest ride. Bought a 2021 Enclave Avenir right after I sold my old one.

    That Enclave would have had a Parts Title (Statutory Write-off) here in Australia and gone to the junk yard. So many repairable vehicles are written off over here for even less damage than the Enclave. Good to see this one being repaired. It will be interesting seeing the progress. All the best from Queensland Australia.

    Pulling the outside first is always best, it will relieve so much tension from undamaged areas as well as the damaged areas.
    Easier to pull a strong section back into alignment than loose sheet metal on the inside.

    I know you hate to hear about the old days. I did body work at a less than professional shop. We would have done some pulling. Some hammer and dolly work. And sent it to the body shop. Of course the finest scrap yard replacement parts 🙄. I remember the rule being, bondo couldn't exceed 7/8" in thickness. I'm sure they made a fortune. But I never did. I was young and 5 dollars an hour in 1974 was a lot of gas ⛽ money for cruising.

    In 1966 I was driving my 59 Impala Bubbletop and T-boned a 60 Olds. Both of us were going to fast for the circumstances, but she ran a yield sign. After the accident the front end of my car was turned to the right. I saw another 59 a week or 2 later that had been t-boned. So the front clip and frame were fine (both cars had an X Frame. I bought it and swapped my body to that frame. IN order to take it apart, I had to use the can opener as most of the. bolts were inaccessible. I was 16 then and not wearing a seat belt. I estimate I was doing between 50 and 60 when I hit. Surprisingly I didn't contact the steering wheel. I'm a believer that at times one can have super human strength. I pushed the gearshift all the way to the dash. Interestingly, to this date, I have. no memory of the accident. I can tell you everything up to the point prior to collision and after I regained consciousness. I can even smell the bakery I drove by when I think about it.

It's required that we do it that way so we know where the fasteners had gone to and its location. Side note....... All the airplanes that I worked on general aviation aircraft like you're Cessna and Mooney, Piper the alternators that go on the aircraft are all AC DELCO but like Aerotech slaps their sticker on the alternator and charge triple the regular cost.
