How To Fix Dents. Repair a Badly Damaged Panel With Simple Tools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2023
- In today's video we will be repairing all the dents in the roof panel and rear body panel on the 1953 Chevy Chicken Truck project. I will show how to remove dents on high crown panels, as well as badly damaged low crown panels. Then I will use the Proshaper shrinking disk to help level out the surface.

I like how you call the Malibu a "Late Model" Car.
Kyle... never in all my born days would I ever thought I would Learn So Much from Watching Someone Knock Out Dents let alone Finding It Entertaining too!!!
I have watched dozens of Hammer on & off Videos but I have never seen it so well explained. Excellent! Thank You.
I think that this was one of your best teaching videos. You showed that it takes analysis to understand what you need to do. Read the panel and move cautiously across the panel bringing the damaged areas up or down a little at a time. I have a rear panel like yours but in much worse condition. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the inspiration.
Just an outside perspective view, sometimes, more often then not, you tend to fail to realize that you're a teacher and a leader in autobody repair and restoration. Yes we understand that you still have a long ways to go to get to where you want to be. Personally, we don't care. As far as we're concerned your like this sheet metal wizard that makes literal magic happen before our eyes as you bang on garbage with various hammers.
The reflection on bare steel was impressive.
HOPE SANTA BRINGS YOU A NEW SMOKING JACKET PRE-RIPPED ALL THE BEST
Smoking jacket! Ha!
Well done young man! How much time would you say you invested in getting that back panel to that point? Myself, I'd much rather spend the time manipulating the metal than I would sculpting bondo!
Smoking jacket indeed 😂
As Gene Windfield says Every Day is A School day. Been doing this for 50 years and aaam learning from much younger guys on You Tube. Mostly Canadians, Thanks Kyle
dude, you've blown my mind again. thanks for a simple, practical explanation of the basics.
Excellent video. I appreciate you sharing your thought process during the repairs. You are a born teacher!
He takes the extra effort to make it right . A lot of guys would’ve left that inner panel in . Nice job .
Very good at explaining dent removal and thanks for the tips . You must have worked with an old timer at some point , you are very good at your craft . Thanks for the vid , Hope you and the kittys have a great Christmas ....
I know you have done several in depth dent removal videos, but I found this one was very well explained with your drawings. Thanks for another great video!!!
Thanks for the long video!
Excellent tutorial........thanks.
All I have to say, if the viewers didn't learn anything today, it's their own fault. Nice work as always. I'll sit through an hour of classic builds from a knowledgeable source anytime.
Holy...There's a picture of Jesus on your rear panel! It's a Christmas miracle.
Oh man, I saw that too! 😅 The value of the truck has just gone way up!
Merry Christmas, Kyle ! Thank you for taking the time to go over in depth, of the process. I greatly appreciate it. It never gets old, to see a dented up panel come out so smooth! You have mad skills. Looking forward to the next video.
Looks like it was loaded with rebar for 70 years, nice work Kyle
Thank you for the explanation of how you tackle the dents , I only wish I could bring you my 31 Chevy , but this was helpful and gives me more confidence to try and do it . Enjoy your channel !

From banged-up to banged-back! A refresher on dent removal with a special on the shrinking disc. Have a nice Christmas!
Thanks for the tip on RAC Garage. Carter Auto Restyling and RAC Garage are the best channels on UA-cam!
I'm glad you're enjoying RAC. He does amazing work!
Wow!! A ton of work in that rear lower cab panel!! As always you made it look great!!
Thanks for the tips!! Even though I have watched the other videos, it was a good refresher course!! Chop away!!
I’m so glad you went back to the old coat. I was getting such anxiety that I almost had to go to my safe space.
One of your top 5 all time Kyle. Cheers bro. 🍻
Thanks for the detailed dent removal tutorial. Metal shrinking is where I bring out all the cuss words. Might be worth trying a shrinking disc setup.
Certainly a master at work. Fun to watch.
Kyle you have taken what we taught you to a whole new level. It is so nice to hear you are employing the “order of repair of a dent” then taking that to “in relation to quality and speed is all dependent on the rough out”! Your expanded roughout methods are now being taught to new students. Great work! Keep it up!
Thanks Scott! I should have paid more attention in school. There would be a lot less fumbling around and struggling on my behalf haha
Hey Kyle: This was one of you most educational videos yet! You might include a screenshot of the panel(s) before and after for us dullards out here in UA-cam land so we can better apperciate your skill .
Excellent commentary on what you are doing, much appreciated & a nice job on that back panel.
That was a lot of dents. Holy crap.
It was cool watching them all come out.
Thanks for the longer video.
Merry Christmas and all the best in '24.
Nice job ,people don't realize what it takes time wise to fix a panel! Great video!
Love the long videos
Taking out that inner panel before doing the chop is a great idea.
Thanks! This was a top notch instructional video. I feel as though I attended a super class in basic dent repair! The diagrams of straightening a dent were great! The camera demonstrations made the procedures clear.
I was not expecting to see a Christmas miracle in a dent removal video. Most inspiring. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Cheers 🎅🎄🛻🏁🏁🎁🎀
He has risen just like the dents.
Great to see an expert dingling dents.
Thanks for the chalk talk on the various techniques for dent removal. It's very helpful. Moving around that back panel reminds me of a Whack-A-Mole toy.
Thanks, Kyle, for sharing your hard won knowledge. This video is the best explanation of how to go about ironing out a lot of damage, in a methodical way, that I've found here on UA-cam. It's also the first I've found that actually describes an order of operations, instead of just "let's bang out this dent." (UPDATE: Kyle talks about the order of operations at the very top of "How I Fix Dents:The Cheap, Easy Way." two years ago. I watched this at least twice...my parents always said "...you just don't listen..." Sorry, Kyle.)
Those kinds of videos are helpful, too, but most of us with garbage cars are dealing with much more than just one dent. I learned a ton...what a nice holiday gift! Thanks, man! All the best to you in the new year.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you Kyle.
Thanks for the tips on slappers and shrinking disc's, although I still haven't a clue as to how a disc's does what it does. It will give me something to do on Christmas Day. The rear panel looks awesome, very impressive. Have a Merry Christmas yourself, make sure the cats get lots of catnip or other organic stuff, wink wink nod nod. Cats are such stoners.
Very interesting to watch, Kyle. Thanks for explaining the physics behind the techniques. Merry Christmas to you and all the best for the new year! Mart.
Hi Mart, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Mart you can put some of those techniques on your next project after the 100 e
Hi Kyle, that was some learning you showed us, never a boring video. The class went by fast. Thank you. Marry Christmas Kyle
I enjoy watching you turn rusty, crappy trucks that would be left for scrap and work your patient metal skills on them. The results are tremendous. Looking forward to seeing the next one. Hope you are having a Happy Holidays.
Nicely done on El Camino Pollo, Kyle. I think Wray Schelline would agree.
I appreciated the body work lesson at the beginning. You're a good teacher.
What a transformation, brilliant craftsmanship, and thanks for the great explanation of the process 👍
Kyle, thanx for the great dent removing tutorial. If you keep practicing, I think you have a future in this line of work.😮
Another great video with great content ... on to the next one chop chop ... have a great Christmas ...
Merry Christmas my friend. To the cats too.
Really a high end professional, great work
Was great to stop by the other day and see the progress coming along so far!!!! Can't wait to see the roofline lowered.
Thanks for stopping by!
The truck has came so far already can’t wait to see the end result.. keep up the great work!!!!
There ha to be an immense sense of satisfaction being able to take a beat up rear panel like that and turn it into a usable piece . I always admire your skills and appreciate your detailed explanations of how and why you do things. Keep up he good work and look forward to seeing how the truck progresses.
Kyle thanks for your patience and a great video as always😊😊😊😊
Thank you very much for your time, work and editing showing us how.
I am working on my 1956 Mercury pick up. The roof was caved in when I got it, no doubt by a Saskatchewan Wildebeest. All my autobody education has come from you. So if I fail it's on your shoulders. LOL
Patience is key. According to Trevor Hatton your "off" hand is the most sensitive.. Keep banging metal. God bless.
Thank you for your videos where you continually show us the process as well as the addition of your detailed explanations of the ordering of the steps that should be taken. My '37 Chevy P.U. cab has benefited greatly.
Break out that slapper and have a Merry Christmas. If I were farther north on this western prairie I would drop off some Christmas cheer!
Thank you for this video, it was very informative.
Someone please send this boy a new jacket for Christmas.
Sheetmetal has a memory... The slapper and dollies are just reminding it of where it's supposed to be.
Dig the face in the panel at 44:28 Merry Christmas too!
Kyle You are the master body man that I have started to use when I judge how bodywork is being done. I think that Santa will make a stop at your shop because you have gave a lot of joy to us You tubers Wish you a Merry Christmas, keep on giving us these videos this coming year.
Always doing great work. No shortcuts from Kyle
Love the work. learning a lot from your tutorial anyway have a merry Christmas and a new years.
That must have been a long day for you I definitely will have too work on being patient thanks 😊
Merry Christmas, Kyle. Great lesson today, learned lots, thank you for that
Just want to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Jolly New Year, Thank You for all the effort you put into making your channel a joy to watch.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Channelling my inner Arnie Cunningham- "OK, show me!"
As someone whose only approach to fixing dents was to whack them as hard as possible with a five pound hammer, I find this pretty fascinating. It’s just unfortunate that some City Slicker in a fancy ass coat had to show it to me.
Thank you Kyle, for explaining dent repair methods and showing us the basics of dent repair. Enjoy watching your videos!
Merry Christmas, Kyle. Hope you’re enjoying the astonishingly good “winter” weather we’re enjoying here along the flood plain of the South Saskatchewan River.
Merry Christmas Kyle, good informative video.
Hi Kyle. I'll be watching tonight but looking forward to it. Nice work buddy. Merry Christmas. 🔩⚒️🔧
Merry Christmas Randy!
Excellent video, good reference to keep. Merry Christmas Kyle!! Hope your kitties get you something nice to show their appreciation!!
Another nicely done tutorial. No apologies needed for your longer videos. Merry Christmas Kyle 🎁
Watching you drill out all those spot welds kinda vindicates me drilling out hundreds of spot welds on my ‘58 Pontiac in an effort to gain access to get rust out from factory seams, and of course to knock dents out. Still got to weld the hood back together, been chasing a high spot in the front of the hood for a long time, and am getting tempted to cut it out and patch it. Very frustrating endeavour, and have many more spots to drill as i work my way to the rear quarters and trunk.
Nice work Kyle. Usually it will take me one cup of tea to make it through a video, but this time I needed two. I see that you put up the Carter Christmas tree. Have a Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas John!
What is a dent? It's just a piece of metal that wants to stand out from the rest of the panel. I hope Kyle you will treat them kindly and with respect as you make them conform to your demands!😆
Top class demonstration, as usual. Best wishes for Christmas and for 2024.
I'll have to say I NEEDED that video!!! I consider that to be an important tool I will refer to in the future. I noticed that you seem (a little) to be left-handed, but you are actually able to work with both hands. I know there's a word for that, but I just don't like it. I know there's a word you don't like, too - it's "can't". And you certainly can. Anyways, you should be proud to work that way. I've been practicing for many years, and can usually work with either hand, but not as good when striking with a hammer or using a baseball bat. I can't wait to get started on my project car, but I'm building a workshop now, and my parents require my help very often. You certainly deserve to be proud of your results!
Well that was another fine, crackerjack video chock full of insightful commentary and tips for us aspiring hair stylists. Thank you very much. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and the cats !!!!
Thanks for the video - and The lesson! Awesome Job on that back panel! Keep up the good work.
Excellent video. Definitely one of the best how-to's on dent removal. Glad you showed how the oil can was gone too, I was starting to wonder, but you didn't leave us hanging. Thanks!
Long videos are what we live for
Really appreciate your videos and passing your knowledge.
i love how you show us morons what too do to save money for other things to spend on. you master sculptor of steel you take pride in your work.
My old truck has factory repairs, some of those blokes were good inside the panel shows the rough hammer marks outside perfectly straight, many years of training I suppose
You explained it awesome in which I would never do 😊
Happy Holidays. ❤✌️👍
THAT'S a lot of dents/dings!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!!!
Great autobody teaching.have a nice holiday..peace....
Merry Christmas more great information, and tips and tricks.
Nice work. Merry Christmas
Good work, nice to watch. 🎉
Amazing transformation of a previously tatty looking panel. Looking forward to seeing how you chop the inside/outside parts and reunite them. Have a great Christmas, Kyle.
Hey, Mr. Carter, Merry Christmas from Carlos and Maggie down here in PA, USA.
Very informative and great explanation
Tip on jacket repairs...I use Tuck tape (blue or red, doesn't matter) to patch up a jacket. It lasts a long time and will keep the danglers out of the way. Don't ruin your good jacket!
"Boom Boom Boom! That's gonna be SWEET!!" 😂 I hope you put some bags under it so you can slam it down when you park! Merry Christmas Kyle, Edgar, Allan, and Poe!
