This guy is a sculptor, impressive outcome!
Yeah you can tell this isn't his first rides. This guy I's good.
Wow. That was impressive. When I first saw the damage I thought "no way" Amazing. I enjoy the videos, thank you for making them.
You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it - have a good week :)
I have been doing body work for many years. I have seen damage that severe repaired a few times on panels where a replacement wasn't available. I haven't seen something that wadded up saved when a replacement is likely available. That was impressive watching you unfolding that mess. In WA state where I work the insurance generally would pay for a quarter and the tail panel. Well done.
Thanks MH. My old boss would always ask "Can you fix it?" - the guy just wants to drive it - doesn't need it to be perfect. I suppose he saved them some money 'cause at that time I was making around 8/hour😅
This is the amount of work I would do if I bought a junker for $500 dollars and knew I could repair and sell it for $20K
Wow that’s 18 k after materials …. Jerry did this jo within 2 days …. Lol…. But I get it , it’s a testament to how proficient and good this dude is at grid Craft 👍🏻
So as they saying goes, your trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents...The engine & transmission alone would be worth that. Inch if it’s done no more than 90K miles... Then the breaker yard will get $200 per car body in scrap metal alone.. Good luck in buying a $500 clunker, and the finding a suck to believe it’s worth $20K in a "repaired" ( but with salvage title) state...
That's an art form, not many have the patients to do that kind of work. The results were phenomenal, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Rock On
Thanks - I'm looking forward to painting it too - I like that color and it'll look real nice with a good clear coat. Thinking of painting the hood satin or hot rod black - it's got the GT hood scoop. Might look cool like that.
Sometimes we are called hacks,but they don't realize it's easier for us to replace quarter and rear corner light section,we give customers what they want.A corner section with the quarter panel is 600 bucks.car lots and some customers don't want to pay that.Awsome work
Thanks Eddie and thanks for your input - you're right on 👍
I saw a complete body panel welded in this video, then; you pulled, straightened, and performed an astonishing restoration. Well Done!
-Carl-
Thanks. Stay tuned - I'll be uploading the finished paint job next week - I think you'll really like how it turned out :)
25 year tech here... At first I figured you were pulling out that qtr panel so you could get the rest like the pocket and rear body back to where you could then replace the qtr panel.. after a while I thought you were doing too much of a rough pull.. then I realized you were pulling that to mud it and save the qtr panel. Damn brother good job sculpting that.. I've never repaired a qtr that wadded. Not that I couldn't but hey.... Props to you man.
I appreciate the comment - very nice of you. I usually get some negative stuff from techs but there wouldn't be a video if I didn't repair it. I worked out in the sticks (first job) and the boss was always trying to save folks money. He'd ask if I could fix it - I guess I enjoyed the challenge and would say, "I think so." It would always work out - guess you can't break what's already broken. Thanks again Jake - Jerry
This is one of the best repairs I have seen anyone do. Awesome job.
Thanks Hot Rod - glad you enjoyed it - have a good weekend :)
Great video! I never quite knew how big dents were pulled out. Almost making me think of doing some body work myself! Thanks for sharing!
Give it a try :)
I definitely have a new found respect for what it takes to repair a vehicle. I just recently had mine in for repair. I was frustrated at the amount of time it took. But now I can see what could make it take a while. It's not just the labor, it's also making sure things line up the way they were intended to. Otherwise you can have gaps in places that didn't have them before. I am very impressed with the amount of patience this guy has, that it takes to do quality work. Great job!!
Thanks so much SFC - I appreciate your comment. Have a good week :)
Been doing resto work for decades but never saw a bodyman pull a dent like that. That was cool. Lots of skills at work there.
I appreciate that Jeff. I was a bit weak with the hammer 'cause I fell on the ice that year - messed up my shoulder for about 6 months. Thought there was something seriously wrong with it but it eventually got better - thanks for watching 😊
I have had similar issues…. Had serious weakness in my right arm that lasted for 6 months. Then hyperextended my left arm badly to the point where I thought maybe had splintered some bone but yes eventually got better with just some occasional pain. I lift some weights now and hit the heavy bag while I exercise and that seems to have really taken my recovery to the next level.
Amazing work, I really appreciate the time taken to straighten the car and especially showing how to hammer the high spots while pulling.
You're welcome. With some good pulling pressure and/or pushing pressure, you just find those points that's holding the panel back. Give them a little encouragement - tap, tap, - and you'll see everything start to move - Glad you enjoyed it :)
Well, if I didn't see it I wouldn't have thought it could be done.
Absolutely amazing. GREAT job.
Thanks Boss - I'm glad you appreciate the work. Thanks for the support :)
I’m watching this again , two years later and it’s a great inspiration !! … I worked on a 72 chevelle roll over a few years back and I used my bobcat , to lift on the roof !…. Old school come along etc …. It’s amazing how sheet metal can be so resilient
I would have oved to be there for that :)
@@LakesideAutobody it really was amazing , all the windows never broke except for wind shield . The pillars straightened back out and I shrunk the metal with a work out flap disc lol
@@lawncuttingplusdelta 👍🔥🛠😊
This is very encouraging !!
My '82 MBZ 300TD was rear ended just like this on 9/11/21 !! (My own little nine-eleven attack) while driving 55 in middle lane, 110 fwy. L.A. Ca., bothering no one !!!
It was a hit and run...and I only have minimum liability Ins. (dang !)..
I have a guy said he'd do it for $1,500.00 in Nov.
Seeing this video has given me hope that 'pulling it out' is not a myth...If car didn't run so well I'd scrap it...But I still love my old Benz diesel...
Nice work and explanation Lakeside Auto !!! The owner has an extra goody in that he or she can watch this video and know how much long hard work went into it for your compensation... M
This gentleman is an artist wow just wow fantastic video keep up the fantastic work
Thanks a lot - I'm glad you appreciate the work. I was lucky to work with some of pretty talented old fellas when I was young. Thanks again for the support :)
YOU REALLY ARE A MASTER OF YOUR TRADE !!! I WISH I HAD HALF OF YOUR SKILLS !!! KEEP THE VIDS COMING !!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed the video. I'll keep them coming for sure. Have a great week.
I could see why body shops cut and replace. This takes time , patience and lots of skill. You also need lot’s of cool tools. Great job once again.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. It does take a bit of patience but that car was worth saving - loudest factory stereo I've ever heard in my life. It's called a Ford Mach Audio System - just in case your into that stuff.
Now Jerry, that was impressive! Not very often you see a fender in that shape be saved! That was some tough pulling! Thank you very much for this video. I want to see more like it! Thank you much! Tom
Thanks 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you made it all the way through. It was quite long but I couldn't cut anything really. Have a great week.
I think this is the most epic thing I've seen in my entire life
Thanks Fourk. I appreciate your support my friend :)
Anything made of metal or wood can be repaired or fixed. Patience is a virtue and you have it in spades. Well done!
You're right - I'm glad you appreciate the video. BTW had to look up what it means to have something in spades. Very cool - going to start using that term :) Like this guy from Montana I knew said, "Boy, that road we came in on was 'rougher 'an a cobb'." Good stuff!
Great work. It looks awesome!! I didn't think that could be fixed.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing! I didn’t think it was going to happen until about half way
Well Jerry looking at the damage I didn't think you was going to pull it of ,but I was shock that was amazing and enjoyed watching the video thank you Jerry
Thanks 👍 Glad you thought it was impossible. Just have take your time, be patient and don't quit on it.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic repair! Enjoyed very much.
You're welcome - glad you liked it.
Hi! I love cars since I once noticed that I was around here... However I never had the chance to know how you and others of car body workers do your job. My thoughts however were not a far cry from the reality but now that I've seen a bit of this, I confirmed that this is not an easy stuff. You have a lot of value my people. Around here where I am, pros of this calibre soon may all have gone. To bad!!! 1000 thanks for sharing this hard job with us and teach!! I wish you and others like you simply the best, 'cause you well deserv it.
Thank you so much - I appreciate that. I'm glad you like the video. Feel free to ask questions - I answer comments 1-2 times a day - Jerry
I’m gobsmacked! The attention to detail in getting the metal so straight and then a light coat of filler ! It’s just awesome to watch! Don’t quite understand why body shops replace panels when a guy can work such magic and repair to almost new! Great work!!
Thank you Geoffrey. That's nice of you to say - have a good weekend :)
Time.
That was one awesome repair video!I was amazed at how you manipulated the damaged area by pulling and pushing, knocking down the crowns. The end result was outstanding. Thanks for taking the time to document, I really enjoyed the video
Thanks - I glad you enjoyed it - have a good week.
These videos are so cool, very interesting to see the process of fixing instead of replacing. Thank you
You're welcome Wanders - I'm glad you appreciate them :)
Amazing work, I've never seen this kind of repair done.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Had to be real careful with my hammer arm - I fell on the ice that year - very difficult to swing the hammer hard but maybe it helped in some way :)
This is just awesome. Thank you for demystifying this process.
You're very welcome Shiloh ✌
You are an artisan. I have two degrees in auto body collision. One in 1981 and one in 2012. You manipulated the metal very well. Thank you.
Thanks. That means a lot coming from a guy with your background. I figured I'd have all kinds of negative comments from guys saying ICAR this and ICAR that. Thanks again and you're welcome. Jerry
It has nothing to do with icar this icar that when that car is been up that bad it gets in another collision it's going to fold up like a pop can that's the reason it was totaled out that's not the way it would have been repaired and you're right it probably did Total out that's why they call them builders not correctly repaired cars well it looks good when you're done or not that doesn't mean it's done right you should just tell people that not leading them on to believe that that's the correct way to do it it's all I'm saying
@@jondoe9753 ever heard of a comma or period? You don't seem like the kind of guy one should be acquiring knowledge from. Shut up.
Amazing job saving this Mustang. Hands down. Great video. Thks for taking the time to film the entire process
You're welcome - it's a bit long but I figured some would want to see the whole thing - glad you appreciate it my friend :)
This Guy goes into complete detail on how to do the repair !! Hats off to You !!
Thanks for the support Mark - feel free to ask questions - I usually answer 1-2 times a day. Thank you for watching and glad you liked the video.
I found your video because my dad has a frame machine, and I was curious as to how it works. Wow! Your work is amazing! You've really made me appreciate the art and skill necessary for this kind of work. I have a new respect for this craft that my dad has been practicing for nearly 48 years. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome TC - glad you checked it out and find it interesting. That's a long time doing body work - 48 years 👍💯
Man, that came out really nice, great job Jerry!!
Thanks 👍 - I finished painting the car and am now driving it. I will upload the rest of the videos soon - Glad you enjoyed it :)
I myself in bodyshop business. This is top stuff. True craftsman and knows what he’s doing. You won’t find people nowadays with such a skill set level.
Thanks Ali, I appreciate the support. Have a good weekend my friend :)
Sir, you are a true auto body master technician. I was very impressed with this video. I enjoy all your videos.
I appreciate that Lantz - thanks for the support. Enjoy the weekend my friend :)
Great job this is a one of a kind video i felt like i was there. success and failures just like the real world . A great finished job in the end.
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it - even the failures - have a great week :)
That was a great video.... Hope there's a part three showing the painted car this is exactly why I subbed cause you always go into great detail!
I'll be posting that for sure. Got a couple of rust spots to make vids out of a some small dents but we'll get it posted.
WOW IM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR LEVEL OF DETEAIL
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it - have a good weekend :)
Thank you so much for your video(s).
I recently got into an accident and can't afford a professional repair.
Learning from your videos, I've bought a porta power and some other tools and slowly working on the car.
So far I have straighten out most of the crumbles in the quarter panel. My goal is to be able to fit a new bumper cover and flatten out the dents.
If you are interested, I could send you pictures of my progress.
Many thanks !!!
I'd love it - schoolvideolibrary at gmail dot com - Jerry
very educational. please upload more videos like that one. Thank you.
Thank you, I will
Just a bang up job ... Real talent there
I never imagined the outcome would be so good. Amazing job sir
Thanks Jason - glad you liked it. I was a bit weak on the hammering that year 'cause I slipped on the ice and really wrecked my shoulder 😒 It eventually got better though 😊
This video was like 'ok I am gonna paint the sky to a different color, come with me and watch this' 👍👍 it is very well done and also entertaining/educational. Thanks! 👍
Thanks :)
Amazingly done. Wow
Wow! That was so satisfying to watch. I can't imagine the gratification of being able to do this. Great work.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a good week :)
Awesome work and job! Enjoyed and thanks for video!
You're welcome - a bit long but didn't want to leave anything out for those interested :)
I can’t believe it! Very well done!
Thanks - Happy Holidays :)
My respect man!!! True auto body technician.. Not like this fake as shops now a days that just want to replace parts and charge you a leg and a hand and won’t go that extra mile to actually do the kind of work you do
Thank you Marc - I appreciate that my friend :)
I really enjoyed watching the process... I Love you sharing your craft... Thanks
You're very welcome - thanks for watching. Have a good week :)
You too... Brother
Wow !!!! Just wow !!!! That was amazing
Glad you enjoyed it - sorry it was so long but I didn't want to leave out any pulls :)
fantastic work. Real experience and patience.
Thanks - glad you liked the video :)
What an awesome video. Excellent job.
Thank you very much. Have a great weekend :)
As always… Great Video!
Awesome Job!
Super job my good man and amazing results 👍
Thanks my friend :)
Far out! That it some amazing craft demo right there! Brilliant job sir
Thanks Mike - I appreciate that :) have a good week.
Amazing work, you have talent, no wonder body work is expensive, that was very intricate work.
Thanks - I appreciate that. It's even more expensive when they replace all of these panels. This car would have been a total loss though - it would have been headed for the junk yard. Have a great week :)
You did an amazing job with the pulling..Great to see it without time-lapse.👍🏾
Thanks 👍 - I was going to shorten it up but I figured folks who cared would want to see the whole thing so.... Glad you liked it :)
More totally amazing work , WOW !
I have a few cars that are "repairable vehicles" in line so there will be more uploaded. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks :)
Woe that was mangled !
Amazing job !
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it :)
Great job mate!
Thank you. Have a good week :)
Amazing workmanship wow!
Thank you very much 🔥🏈😄
I must admit at that half way through the video I was discrediting the work but then I hung in there and I must say I am overly impressed. Great job my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sticking with it. Should have just gone right to the end to see if "this guy" knew what he was doing :) I fell on the ice real bad about a month earlier and I was having real trouble with my shoulder - so I looked pretty weak on the hammering - but maybe that was a blessing - didn't butcher anything:)
Great work
Good video. Your channel is doing well. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, you've got a good one too - I like the content. You can go a lot of different ways with that. The amount of videos is unlimited. 1000+ subs congrats :)
@@LakesideAutobody thank you. Its easy when you love your subject haha.
That is so awesome work I like watching your videos hopefully someday I would get into body repair
Thanks John - it's something you should try I think :)
Youre talented. Thank you.
Thank you 😊 and you're welcome.
nice job, you call yourself a body man but i say your an artist. it amazed me how close you got the metal to original.
Thanks Robert, that's nice of you to say. Have a great week :)
Thanks for posting this. It's better than most of the B.S. on the Tube. I had to laugh at myself though. I did this work 50 years ago and found myself yelling at the screen for you to pick up and use the 2X4 and move the port-a-power, when low and behold, that's exactly what you did. I still have my Snap On BF608 and BF618 body hammers along with heel, universal, wedge and extension dollies and a port-a-power. Guess I'll just pass them on to my grand kids.
One thing I would do though, is always back up my heavy hammer strikes so the sheet metal didn't deform in the opposite direction.
God, I love those well balanced Snap On body hammers! They're an extension of your hand.
You're absolutely right - anything I ever bought from Snap-on I cherished. Thanks for the support, info and story - look forward to hearing from you again :) Jerry
WOW !!!! Amazing you are a true metal artist I love body work but never followed my dream ☹️ I went to vocational school in high school but we were in our freshman year and the school shit the program down I had to choose either automotive or carpentry well my dad was in automotive and I was already familiar with that so I took carpentry i graduated and became a over the road truck driver ... uggh but got out of that after a few years I have always loved being able to take something and make it look new again I’m now 47 and in construction for the last 27 yrs but alway been very fond of the body industry... just want to say wow!! Awsome job 👍 looks Awsome
Start doing it - get a few auto body tools (cheap from HF) and start a project. Nothing is more rewarding than unmasking a fresh paint job - the smell of a body shop is cool too :) BTW ask any ?s you have along the way - use any video comment section - I'll get you your answer w/in a day.
HELL of a good Demonstration of how to use a frame machine. those L style frame machines are useful.
Thanks again Mike - love your input - Jerry
watching a master at work ! ….. way better than watching paint dry lol…. this guy is just a profession super talent
Thanks for the kind words Paul - have a good week my friend :)
amazing work, not sure i would ever have the patience for it
Thanks - have a good week :)

I just stumbbled on your page. Yes it says "learning purposes". My thing is, being I-Car certifide for 23 years I can't do that and sleep at night to a customers car. I could go on and on. Not how "Body Shops Fix Major Collision." Great job though! My boss used to fix totals. I call him Yoda. Lost tallent. Thanks for the video. New sciber.
