    That's a good repair, and lovely finish. Insurance companies should be queuing at your door and save every body's costs. Thanks for such a down to earth and genuine vid sir, respect from the Scottish Highlands 😊

      Thank you from a fellow Scotsman😉. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to make it back, my family immigrated here to Canada from Scotland when I was a baby.

    Yes very nice, a lot of guys will shy away from aluminum body repairs just for the fact of just that it's aluminum ! Now I don't know how you fill about it and maybe you could have stress the point a bit more aluminum will heat up quicker and dissipate heat way faster than steel ! But I think you were spot on with you finish as always there will be negative responses to this post but that's just how it is, and like you say this is how you do it, everyone has there own way of repairing things but in the end we all get the same results ?

    I would have liked to see you sand out the run and polish it.

      In hindsight, I try not to make the videos too long, but I should have made a short video on it’s own of that. Definitely something for the future 👍🏼👍🏼

    How do you go about blending non metallic paint from a rattle can? Enjoying your channel by the way.

      Afraid I don’t really have any experience with that, I wonder if anyone makes an aerosol blend agent?

    I would say that's not a proper collision prepare in my dealership but you get what you pay for when insurance isn't involved nice job it is what it is.

      Curious what you consider improper, it’s an invisible, warrantied repair. Obviously things are done differently when the customer is paying.

      That’s what happens when u are institutionalized and do mostly insurance claims … this repair is done by a master who has less overhead and is pricing fair … hard to find guys like this is the real world 🌎

    Grab yourself a locking prop rod from Steck tools

      Yes, that’s something I’ve never bought, unfortunately the tool budget is usually pretty low when you’re a self employed bodyman 😉
