How to remove the dent in a double panel and hard to get to

Great tip. thanks. Do the stresses in the metal from the dent release as you shift the dent or will it have a tendency to pop back into place?

thank you so much thats helps a lot

Very nice video.. are the tabs hard steel or? and what is the tab thickness? thank you

HEY MAN,I THINK YOU ARE THE BEST PDR TRAINER IVE EVER WATCH,YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING YOUR LESSON...THANKS FOR YOU KNOWLEDGED! I WOULD LOVE TO PICK YOUR MIND. CHEERS

How do you do this without damaging the paint?

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m simply trying to learn in order to fix the TWO hit and runs my Alfa Romeo has suffered. I’ve learned more in one morning of watching your vids than I have in two months of watching others.

I love your channel. Ive been watching for a ehile while and i was actually talking to a dent repair guy he basically pushes out dents with long metal rods. I was asking him if he could fix my dents above my door he said no. I told him i watch guys online get th out by tapping them with dent hammers he didn't have a clue what i was talking about lol

That's awesome man

Hey thanks Loving it big guy

Hey thanks again love it

Hey thanks Loving it big guy

I'd love to see split screen of the tool side while this is happening.

I really enjoyed this video. I learned a few things. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

what a BS video...at 2:57 you blanked it out and when camera came back the dent was almost gone....Dont mislead your audiance!!!! waste of time!

I have walked into a high-end body shop a thousand times and have never heard or seen someone with hammers.

You guys are too smart for me, as you're a great example of a Tradesman. Car companies are working hard to eliminate your job. What a world we are leaving our grandchildren.

mate put some earplugs in

You’re a freakin beast and an absolute professional sir. The literal opposite of a hack

perfetto 👌 👌

I swear to God, i have learn tmore from your channel in one day than in 8 months of watching PDR videos. I have been working on a dent for 8 months that was a double skin rear wheel arch ding around 3cms deep. Just for sh its and giggles Id go out every day and tap a bit determined to finish it eventually. I watched your slapper video today and went out abd finished it off in around an hour. I had managed to get it back into its original shape through sheer luck i think, but was having trouble with the finer details and blending it into the rest of the panel...i own pdr tools now..but nothing was quite large enough to blend the entire area..A slapper...so simple, but so effective due to the huge area the original dent had covered..was exactly what i needed.

Love this guys approach and confidence from experience. We need a Topgun, BillyBondo,Fitzee colab video series. Touch their like thingies and that's got er dun . 😂

Aloha I’ve been watching your videos, is April 2024 and learning tons . This tool is not available on the site

absolutely love old school methods deeply appreciate sharing your knowledge and wisdom mahalo

the more videos i watch the more i love your technique. i’m a diyer myself and i will be making some tools. 😂 mahalo from hawaii

awesome info. new subscriber here.

Thanks for all

I’m wondering if a lateral tension bar would’ve taken the stretch out?

That looks like a polished leaf spring

Лучший мастер!!! Волшебник!!!

What hammer is this? And where can i find it thanks in advance.

I'm a new sub thanks for what you do i been doing bodywork 28 years and i'm still learning.

Wow...Smart man!

Do you make those tension rods or did you get them somewhere?

I have enjoyed watching and learned a ton from your videos going back six or so years when you started making them and I have seen all of them. Would you be able to help me with a non-pdr non-collision sheet metal issue I have? I am doing auto restoration of a 35 year old truck 18 or 19 gauge I bought new and have to cut and tig weld a number of replacement panels and also strip a pretty thick layer of paint. I am getting enormous amounts of warping, primarily dishing inward, on panels that have no backside access. I would love to figure out how the Fairmont method could be used. My tools are body hammers and dollies, stud puller, and shrinking disk. I have tried everything to put less heat into the metal while welding and stripping but it does not seem to make a difference. Thank you very much.

Interested in doing some of the glue pulling myself but i realize there different glues for different pulls how do u know which to use an brands

top notch!

amazing stuff! you're the man! thx a lot

thanks a lot man! really fantastic lessons!

Anyone knows the name of the frame that is holding the door?

You are a master thank you for giving us your knowledge great stuff

Thanks Joe.

Great video! Really respect the detail and accuracy of this skill.

Great video and impressive work. I have a small ding in a chrome bumper. Can this same technique be used?

went to school for 3 years for auto collision and never learned any of these techniques. I found this video because I have a gmt800 pick myself that got wrapped around a pole by the filler neck. I thought the bed was toast(at least that side of it anyway), but I have been attempting to repair it just for the sake of getting better at working with metal. The information in this video is very helpful, I been able to pull a lot of it out with using glue tabs that have a pin go through them using a slide hammer and a bit of tension pulling the bed towards the front of the truck. I'm a bit stuck on the crown on the top side of the body line that I'm pretty sure is holding a small crease on the bottom side. Gonna go make some plates and get me some 3/4 rod today. I'm not a body or pdr tech by trade but I already told my everyone I know that would be interested in this type of content. Also when you did your shrinking I never heard of a powerbox before, I've always used the oxyacetylene torch(truck doesn't have original paint so if repair successful I will be painting it). Is a torch a good option for a panel as flat as a fleetside bed or is a different tool the right tool for the job. After watching my dad warp the shit out of a door on his 56 chevy by over heating it with the torch I been wondering about this

I accidently got to close to my wooden post devider while parking i paniced and turned into post while doing so i heard the sound of metal being gripped and turning. now i have a crease dent plus twisted metal my questuing is how big a job that is to fix and ball park how much

Ever do a chrome bumper??

I just took a lateral tension class by Gene Fetty and in his class he gave credit to you for being one of the pioneers of using and lateral tension and you were really great at the science and technical aspect behind lateral tension. Thought you might like to hear this.

Watch Your videos over and over. Always appreciate Your expertise and honesty. You da Man, Marty. Oh by the way, almost Halibut fishing time up here in Alaska, better sharpen Your hooks and hop on a plane. 😊
