My father was a fender body man for 50 years. I wish he were alive to see this kind of work! I seen him work magic on the older heavy metal panels of the older cars and trucks. Fix holes, stretch and shrink metal, anvils, pick hammers, flat head hammers he had em all. All his tools are safely stored but I have no idea what to do with them almost nobody does hammer nobody work with the new thin high strength memory steel used these days. To be honest it's almost unbelievable to see you do this kind of work! Extremely well done video and great content!
@@wilsoncougar4267oh it’s so worth the work. You won’t find it in a collision shop but I work in restoration and you damn bet we hammer them as flat as we can
I have been doing auto body/collision repair for forty years and never would have believe this had I not watched it with my own two eyes,that was amazing to say the least,I subscribed
He’s not a body man, he’s a PDR technician . This repair still needed paintwork and probably a skim coat, but he clearly stated the customer wanted a 90% repair and didn’t want to pay for a flawless repair. Paying attention helps
I do have to say myself the man if steel is more of a wizard of metal. I'm 56 years old and been doing body and paint work since I was 13 years old, specializing in restorations and customs. I used to think I was above average at working metal until I watched him in action and by far I believe he's the best I've seen.
The man of steeeeeeelll. You’re a legend! Incredible content and the passion you put into your videos is incomparable! I’m subscribing in hopes to be a fraction as good as you are in dent repair.
You earned a new subscriber. Amazing repair work. Watched you fix a quarter panel on one right before this I basically laughed when you said it could be done. Being in the collision repair trade for most of my working life I didn’t think it possible without paint cracks or super stretched metal. It was immaculate when you got finished up, figure this fender you could do with eyes closed. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
I have no job and I can't afford the tools. They are very expensive here in Portugal but one day I will be able to get them and I will follow your steps and advises thanks for the lessons God bless you
hi man of steel I liked watching this, I'm a mobile only de dent man of 27 years previous to that a body shop tech for 22 years I think you did this to a almost a 100 % as good as it is possible f to do, from a write off wing, great spot on approach with the heat and simultaneously pulling and taking down the steel, also this colour shows any imperfections in the metallic, no mobile de dent man over here in the UK would be able to take this on for the time input it takes, gear needed ( in body shop ) and also balancing the economical and customer expectations I know this just a temporary job but really well handled really great job man of Steel 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this! I have a very similar repair to make and your technique and skills are truly impressive. I love seeing you just working the metal and coaxing it back into shape. The pulling tabs with hot-melt glue are genius.
Insane SKILLS!!!!! You are as much a wizard as a tech. I have done body work 35 years and I can't pick and file bare steel as good as you repair a painted surface.
Amazing how far the industry has advanced from drilling holes, screw-in slide hammers, and Bondo. You've obviously done collision work along with pdr. Combination of great stuff
WoW! I didn't think that was possible to come out so clean. There were so many potentially nasty areas - tight creases being the worst. Well done - magic AND alchemy! Greetings from an autumnal Britain.🙂
I was looking on UA-cam how to remove my dent myself. A friend of mine had backed into my side door panel. I happen to stumble upon your channel. You're a magician! It's an artform I can get behind! I love stuff like this. 👍 New subscriber.
Nice ! C K I'm an amateur pdr handyman with amateur pdr tools working on my own car. I've been watching pdr and pdr training tubes of all kinds for about 2 years and your channel is the best I've seen by far. I've got a 2017 toyota with a much easier "hunted by a buck at the beginning of hunting season" dented fender, that I screwed up by impatience from my first pushing experiments with improvised pushing tools, dang. I put a bunch of stretched pimples left over in the fender, that I thought while working I could knock down and shrink. Plus the beginning of an oil can, barely noticeable on the passenger door I stayed away from while I did a 90% repair on that door already. Hot box, pro push rods? Everything else I've done was all glue pulls using amateur tabs. I've already watched about ten of The Man of Steel excellent videos and have gotten a few new ideas about how to proceed from here to the next level with dents on 2 doors, hood, and the (fender I may need to replace and spray with code 4X1 steel blonde, waterborne) if I can fix the huge crowns. ++ just saw the links below this video to some tools I'll need.
New subscriber and I have to thank you immensely for your videos because they have taught me so much! I'm used to working under the hood, so body work has been a who new ball game for me, but your videos have been great and saved me a ton of money
New subscriber! Just purchased a car for a deep discount because there was some ‘serious’ damage to the body. The right rear quarter panel has a huge dent. The right front fender and hood are pretty mangled. The right lower door frame is slightly accordioned. Gonna spend the winter slowly working on all those dents. I can’t wait to see the reaction from the previous owner next summer. He honestly thought it was too much work and too expensive to even bother. You’re videos will help get me there! Thank you for what you do and providing us with a view of it and explaining it all! Thankfully the frame was not harmed.
Great video. I'm normally an engine guy, but this video was really interesting. Wish you would have shown your hammer in focus. I would like to have seen the end of it a little better.
Had to subscribe! Ive watched alot of PDR techniques but none with the degree of talent you have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a time when most keep their secrets to themselbes. You are a talented and kind person. Thanks
New sub here. I’m not sure how I found this channel but your work is next level. I’ve done a little dent removal in my time but nothing like this. You are the Man of Steel. Just wondering how much the typical dent removal cost?
@@DentDiscountPDRBodyShop I am a new subscriber. Would this work on a car that had been repainted? Assume it had filler, epoxy primer then base and clear. I am guessing filler would have cracks preventing a perfect repair? Also, I believe you said customer wanted 90 percent repair ... how much extra to finish it to flawless like it never happened? If you were near me, I would be sending you my business. Really enjoy watching you work.
Amazing work. I’m addicted to these videos. Wish I knew about this pdr thirty years ago. I would have changed occupations. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Paint society thank you for your comment I really appreciate it.. I believe if I’m not mistaken you have a newborn.. congratulations!! thank you for taking the time to post
New to your channel and am starting metal repairs on an old VW bug with rear end collision damage. You have fantastic metalworking skills that I would like to learn…
Wow, I never new that the dent repair has arrived on this level. Thanks for sharing your ways. Not that I will ever do this kind of thing, but I subscribe anyways. :)
This is really something sir, my daughter's first car she paid for on her own got backed in to. Now she's on honor student at a high level college getting her masters, holding a job making her way. Unfortunately, just a week prior to her being hit I canceled the collision insurance, so dad is really trying to come to the rescue. I am a.single dad of 7 kids git one through college and 2 in college so ends are becoming tough to meet. She's driving a 2012 passat and really loves it, so looking at some of your videos I am using some of your techniques. This works amazing!! I am half way through and want to invest wisely in some tools. Any insights or direction you can offer would be more than appreciated. Thank you so much for the help you have given already. It's very much appreciated.
Just came across your channel. I'm a car mechanic. Just know enough of bodywork to know how difficult it is, and that I'm not good at it. We take our cars to bodyshops. None of them came out as clean as your results. Very very good!
Fantastic work! OMG! first time on your channel, and I am so impressed with your skills! absolutely brilliant! I am retired now, but used to be a panel beater and sprayer,,,, never with so much perfection in taking out the dents as yourself! It was a matter of reducing the amount of filler to use by taking out as much of the dented panel as I could, using dollies and hammers etc to finish .! thanks for a very informative and interesting, entertaining channel! All the best, Les
Anybody can hammer out and fill with body filler grind sand and paint .But these PDR guys blow my mind working with a finished or painted surface and removing every dent and crease and not disturbing the paint
If I had a fraction of this knowledge in how to heat, shape, and manipulate metal, I would never have to worry about where I park to avoid door dings. This level is only achieved after years of hard work. New sub here.
I am amazed at your talent... I am a bodyman by trade for 35+ yrs... I watch your videos 9for 2 months ) to learn and maybe do someday... I am a new subscriber..
I'm happy to see that there are still people with skills. Around here in my state RI nobody knows how to fix crap anymore. I had some damage on the hood of my BMW, every body shop I went to. Told me ohh no no you have to buy a new hood nobody can fix that. And they call their business body shop. I call them parts changers.
I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. Aside from some light damage on my hood and front fender, my car's body is cherry. However, that damage to the hood and fender HAD me discouraged to get it fix, but after seeing this video I can see how they can fix it pretty easily now. I'm too broke to buy a new car and this one still works great. I'm so happy that I watched this video.
Used to be a guy in my neighborhood that fixed all the motorcycle fuel tanks in the area. Worked out of his garage and would let us kids come in and watch anytime he had his garage door open. It was mesmerizing. People would come to pick up their tanks and they were as amazed as us kids.
The result says a lot about the master. The master is super!!! If there was an opportunity to become a disciple of such a master, I would be just happy...👍👍👍👏👏👏
Amazing I recently got a small dent in a parking lot. It was from an older man, and I just couldn't make a fuss. I'm going to try this, it looks like such fun! Thanks so much for the encouraging video, again just amazing! Dan S.
YOU PAINTLESS GUYS.....blow me away with your patience. I just could not have the patience to do that. I would rip the fender off Jam an new one and sand and paint it.
I remember as a young man working at a dealership back in the 70s, the car metal was so thick we always drilled and used that dent puller and then hammer and grind and bondo. so much metal to work with . now the car's metal are so thin the techniques have changed as a necessity.wish i could find a shop like this in houston.
Thanks for time. I helped my 16 YO cousin buy his first car (parents are going down the wrong road in life but he is a great kid - made 30 on his ACT). 2013 Infinity G37 and it has some damage we are going to try to work on. We are going to do a carbon wrap on the roof and hopefully I can do a dentless paint repair on 2 areas. After purchasing the car he was following me home and started flashing his lights... I was like dang it this is bad.... after pulling over he said man my seat is getting really hot,, could be an exhaust issue... I had opened the passenger door and told him the seat warmer was all the way up :). Thanks for your content.
A master artist at work. Thank You I’m by no way no how a body man but I’ve repaired a door that a body shop wanted to reskin most just can’t or won’t.
New subscriber. It's awsome how much pride you take in your work that you've turned dent pulling into an craft instead of taking short cuts or RnR the area and charging an arm and a leg.
A lot of body shops especially those that do insurance work no longer bother with PDR work and just replace the panel. They don't want to waste time, once the assessor values the work they want to do it in the cheapest way to maximize profits. In the past body working used to be an art form, they would use devices such as the English Wheel and Bead Rollers hand rolling panels.
Steel man I live in Antigua I need a basic package to get started. If I didn't see this with my own three eyes I would not believe it. You guys are geniuses
Awesome work, true artistry, subbed. I pulled out the rear of a vehicle that had been back-ended with a u-bolt through the rear frame at the center of the collision secured to a chain around a tree. It worked, but didn't come out quite that well well aligned or tidy. Currently have a dent above the rear light of a Dodge Caravan to push out, but haven't find a good access point, everything enclosed in metal. May need to take out the decorative panel inside, drill a hole, and cut an access point.
What a genius. Wished he was around when I was a boy. My Dad was over in Nam. My Mum modified his pride and joy. We all waited in trepidation as Dad's return came closer. Luckily absence makes the heart grow stronger and Dad pretended it was okay. Car was sold in the next few weeks.
New subscriber. Same area on my ‘04 VW jetta to do. Waiting for warmer weather (upper Midwest) before proceeding. You are an artist. Hope I can fix mine acceptably.
I do like your channel and your attitude! I never realized how hard is to do body work and how artist you should be to be able to pull that off! RESPECT FOR YOU! Subscribed!
Great job! In the end, the metal 'knows' where it belongs from the pressing process in the car factory and just has to be convinced by you to return to this position, To be honest i'm more impressed by the fact that the paint did not give much more problems. Paint doesn't have the same physical qualities as steel, and there should be several very thin layers of different coating on the spots you have been working on.
New subscriber! I worked in auto repair and refinishing industry and I've seen some amazing PER Done but you Sir have the skills to pay the Bills! I'm impressed!!! Well Done Mate!
I have to admit that my lexus lx470 which took a hit from am Elk running along the roadside smashing my fender into and backwards, shoving it into and folding the metal in half while breaking my front light holding frame, then my plastic bumper, could actually be fixed...?? After watching your video though I believe I am going to actually do just that! Fix it myself and with your extremely well laid out and very well shown way of how to fix such a thing! I will video tape it and send you the results! Also if I become too frustrated or its just not working out? I am hoping to be able to contact you with questions I may have to solve the problems that may arise in my venture! 😁 Thanks for the inspiration and hope to have this on the wrap very soon! Thanks again for the well detailed results of a diy project! 🤙✌️
My brother has been doing this for years. He buys old wrecked cars, repairs and resells them. And Camrys are what he mainly deals with. He uses several different hammers, wooden blocks, jacks, anything that works. He doesn't have any fancy equipment. One car I bought from him, the rear quarter panel was crushed in so badly, when he bought it, I never dreamed he could make it look as good as he did. One thing about Camrys(& many other I'm sure) is the paint layer is so thin, you have to be careful if you happen to scratch it.
Absolutely amazing, this is the bodyshop of the future, had a PDR man I use save the roof of my classic car after a car bonnet fell on it which was tied to the garage roof, he did an awesome job, I buffed up the roof and it's perfect, but this is another level
Wow man, new subscriber here. I work in dent repair as you do but nothing pdr related and I’d love to begin! Watching your videos is quite inspiring and I can’t wait to start getting some reps in on this whole new game. Keep it up friend.
Oh yip, not bad. What I really mean is " Bloomin awesome ". I need to take out a few imperfections. You have given me confidence. Keen to watch some more...

It's refreshing to watch a quality bodyman make a repair--AND--without needing paint !! YOU, sir , know your craft !

I remember as a young man working at a dealership back in the 70s, the car metal was so thick we always drilled and used that dent puller and then hammer and grind and bondo. so much metal to work with . now the car's metal are so thin the techniques have changed as a necessity.wish i could find a shop like this in houston.
Right on
no words really we should all stand back at times and be amazed by what can be done, with some know how and how to use it, which this man does.
Trevor thank you for your comment I appreciate it
Thanks for time. I helped my 16 YO cousin buy his first car (parents are going down the wrong road in life but he is a great kid - made 30 on his ACT). 2013 Infinity G37 and it has some damage we are going to try to work on. We are going to do a carbon wrap on the roof and hopefully I can do a dentless paint repair on 2 areas. After purchasing the car he was following me home and started flashing his lights... I was like dang it this is bad.... after pulling over he said man my seat is getting really hot,, could be an exhaust issue... I had opened the passenger door and told him the seat warmer was all the way up :). Thanks for your content.
Just like an artist to his paint brush, got to have an good eye to attention to detail, I know u got excellent eye to detail...good job brother.
A master artist at work.
Thank You

Welcome to my channel thank you for subscribing
New subscriber. It's awsome how much pride you take in your work that you've turned dent pulling into an craft instead of taking short cuts or RnR the area and charging an arm and a leg.

A lot of body shops especially those that do insurance work no longer bother with PDR work and just replace the panel. They don't want to waste time, once the assessor values the work they want to do it in the cheapest way to maximize profits. In the past body working used to be an art form, they would use devices such as the English Wheel and Bead Rollers hand rolling panels.
Steel man I live in Antigua I need a basic package to get started. If I didn't see this with my own three eyes I would not believe it. You guys are geniuses

The man of steel
Is amazing ! One of the best ! Honestly
Awesome work, true artistry, subbed.
I pulled out the rear of a vehicle that had been back-ended with a u-bolt through the rear frame at the center of the collision secured to a chain around a tree. It worked, but didn't come out quite that well well aligned or tidy.
Currently have a dent above the rear light of a Dodge Caravan to push out, but haven't find a good access point, everything enclosed in metal. May need to take out the decorative panel inside, drill a hole, and cut an access point.
I just tried something like this on my work truck fender. Ended up caving and paving. I don't know how you guys do that. Nice work.
I love the commentary! Ive been a body man for 40 years. This is awesome stuff. Ive tried this but always end up slappin mud on it. Hahaha
What a genius. Wished he was around when I was a boy. My Dad was over in Nam. My Mum modified his pride and joy. We all waited in trepidation as Dad's return came closer. Luckily absence makes the heart grow stronger and Dad pretended it was okay. Car was sold in the next few weeks.
Wow mannn.. you are truly the Man of Steel.... with a pair of magic hands... serious.

Great job!
In the end, the metal 'knows' where it belongs from the pressing process in the car factory and just has to be convinced by you to return to this position, To be honest i'm more impressed by the fact that the paint did not give much more problems. Paint doesn't have the same physical qualities as steel, and there should be several very thin layers of different coating on the spots you have been working on.

I worked in auto repair and refinishing industry and I've seen some amazing PER Done but you Sir have the skills to pay the Bills! I'm impressed!!! Well Done Mate!
I meant to say I've worked in the industry for 30 years.
PDR! Not PER
STUPID Auto-Incorrect! 😂
I have to admit that my lexus lx470 which took a hit from am Elk running along the roadside smashing my fender into and backwards, shoving it into and folding the metal in half while breaking my front light holding frame, then my plastic bumper, could actually be fixed...??
After watching your video though I believe I am going to actually do just that!
Fix it myself and with your extremely well laid out and very well shown way of how to fix such a thing!
I will video tape it and send you the results!
Also if I become too frustrated or its just not working out?
I am hoping to be able to contact you with questions I may have to solve the problems that may arise in my venture! 😁
Thanks for the inspiration and hope to have this on the wrap very soon!
Thanks again for the well detailed results of a diy project!
🤙✌️

Thank you for your comment
I just posted a new video take a look
you are really artist it is a great working
Thank you for your comment
Man u are awesome. There must be something more than fenders you can do with such outstanding talent. Think big
My brother has been doing this for years. He buys old wrecked cars, repairs and resells them. And Camrys are what he mainly deals with. He uses several different hammers, wooden blocks, jacks, anything that works. He doesn't have any fancy equipment. One car I bought from him, the rear quarter panel was crushed in so badly, when he bought it, I never dreamed he could make it look as good as he did. One thing about Camrys(& many other I'm sure) is the paint layer is so thin, you have to be careful if you happen to scratch it.
Torching to make the paint pliable and warming up the metal is to me, a great idea.
Maestro!!!

Absolutely amazing, this is the bodyshop of the future, had a PDR man I use save the roof of my classic car after a car bonnet fell on it which was tied to the garage roof, he did an awesome job, I buffed up the roof and it's perfect, but this is another level
