Deleteing Difficult Dents
Sometimes a dent is just not very accesible and tools are going to be vey limited to coax the dent out. This video shows some basic techniques on how to iron out the minor imperfections and bring the surface back to where it needs to be to avoid using plastic fillers.

Often parts should be tested first before you tear into them and start fixing things that may not be broken. I found by simply cleaning and a very light glass bead blasting, old alloy parts can be made to look new again back to their factory surface finish. Of course this wont fix any worn parts in dire need of replacement and a rebuild would be the more reliable outcome. But isn't it nice to j...
How to unpick spot welded panels
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 2 lety
There are a few ways of separating spot welded panels. This is a basic overview of the spot weld splitting. Some spot welds may have to be drilled or ground down first to get them to release with the splitter tool. Some will release easily and why I dont waste time drilling/ grinding every spot weld first!

Forestry workers cheats death by seconds
zhlédnutí 391Před 2 lety
Through completely natural causes an old huge Grandaddy pine falls over and misses forestry workers by seconds. This tree falling had nothing to do with the forestry operation and was completely untouched and well away from their work area and operation. It was just its time to fall over. Very thankfully it was not the time for the forestry workers!

A brief look at the right way to remove gutter trims from your early Holden and more specifically the hardest of them all the FE Holden Specials. * NOTE*; The tool you will have to make from some packing strap or spring steel. How it works is the tool piece catches directly on the edge of the stainless trim and careful hammering will release it without marring the trim. Reasonable hammer skills...

How to make a square patch fit a round hole
Do you think you could do this to a hood ? I have a rabbi pickup and the hood has a wowy in the center of the hood :(
I was going to ask who that songs by as it's wicked and suits the video 😊
They ran out of legs quick
I’m just a novice at sheet metal body work, so is this technic new or has this been around for a while?
Its hard to say how long its been around as its something I worked out by myself. However I would say Im far from the the first to use these sorts of techniques Im sure.
Suggestion: turn off the background radio.
what brand is your shrinking disc
Its one made for me about 25 or more years ago by Rod Drabsch in Australia. He is no longer in that business sorry. You can buy them from Wray Schelin of Pro Shaper in the US and he ships worldwide. Google that name and you will find him.
i love doing bog work you make the most money that way 😏
That seems to work great. They are crazy expensive though :/
ive brought one of these because you recommended them and your right they are great weapons
Brilliantly done and clearly explained thanks
I have a question I am building a HQ sedan I was wondering if you can help me out regarding heat drinking and shrinking disc Do you have an email thanks
been in the game 50 odd years and never heard of that.Evey day I am still learning even at the ripe old age of 69.
The joys of getting old is always learning new tricks and techinques. Its what keeps me in the game myself.
Not a great idea as the pressure will split some tanks
Need more videos on HQ's
Harold that came out awesome mate. Great vid.
Nice and informative as usual. Thanks. Would love to see some hail damage done too. And how to prepare a chicken dinner. 😁
How did you go with the front Cowling on that HZ ute
Replaced it with a new cowl and plenum in begining of year. Have a look over on Streetneat lLtd on facebook.
Is that a cat or a possum? 😂 love ya work 👌
Hemi the workshop cat. He loves my work too - except when I start making too much noise lol...
Thanks streetneat. I am dealing with a similar issue now and this gives me some great tips.
Spotto el catto at 0:59
Hhaha Thats Hemi. He is the new workshop cat we rescued right here when he wandered in as a wee tiny kitten about 6 weeks old late January this year. The video also starts with him on his bed.
Wow
Beautiful finish show me and show the process of you doing all the work
Great, How do you get behind the door intrusion panel on these H series.
I normally have the door skin off the door itself so makes it a lot easier of course. To be fair most of the H series doors I have worked on dont have the intrusion bar.
Or......... Drill from underneath?.....
The idea of drilling from the outside and on top is to be sure its centred in the middle of the roof. The roof braces inside are not a good datum point as they are off centre so i check from both sides of the roof to be sure I have missed braces AND its in centre from the outside.. The other reason is drilling downwards is a lot easier than trying to drill upwards! No bits of hot metal falling on me!
Ha! Love it!
Nicely done+ explained!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks i enjoyed
Don’t mind the sound of rain, but with that you really need to use a lapel mic so we can actually hear what you are saying.
Yep -we all all start somewhere and this was one of my first videos. I have since changed equipment.
i have tasted. vegimite .. the solder might taste better..lol great work
Hhaha yes Vegemite is an acquired taste- best not put on your toast like axle grease!
Nice work! Thanks for the video. I'm trying to learn how to work the sheet metal on my 54 belair. Thank you
Where would i buy a file like that, i always come across heaps of body filler files.
Most automotive panel beating suppliers will have them.
Love the demo. Will a propane torch work ?
Any decent heat source should, work just the finite control will be the issue . I have never tried it with such a torch so wouldn't like to guess the outcome
what kind of body file do you use here?
I use a fine tooth steel file. Just be sure when ordering you specify its for steel not body filler.
Nice work. What file do you use to finish off the metal? Do you use sand paper on a file to finish off? Or just file, clean and prime?
Great alternative to drilling spot welds , thank you
Whats the point if hi fill primer is going on???
Primer and paint makes us the tradesmen we aint. Thats the point. First it has to be repaired and the panel surface brought back to where it needs to be without relying on bog, hi fill primers and a lot of extra material that can and will shrink back later in the cars life to reveal whats really underneath.
there is no point cave and pave and send it on down the road. it will be just fine. by the time it does shrink the customer would have looked at it so many times and wont even notice the shrinking.
hi sreet neat lo ve your work iam glad you doing this vidio on the cowl iv just done the same on my hz ute will you bed making a vidio on fitting the top cowl glad you say the new cowl is a great fit vinnei from down under
I do a photo sequence of my work you can follow over on Streetneat Ltd facebook page. Videos take a lot longer and cut heavily into work time.
Much quicker 🙂
Fantastic
Great job mate, love it. Can this be applied to metal over stretched from English wheeling too much in an area of metal? Basically i've gone too far in one area and need to flatten it out a little. :)
sorry for the delayed reply - CZcams wont let me see comments and I just worked out they hide them for review - but only some comments... go figure! Yes, absolutely and I have done the same myself.
@@streetneat no worries thanks mate
Beautiful work & great info on your technique. You choice of music is good, however playing it while you are talking makes it difficult to hear what you were saying. Stay Real. Rick
Thanks Rick. Yes you are right. I normally kill the music before filming and forgot to this time. I was taking photos then realised I was taking a video so started talking explaining what the work was hahaha.
What did you do
Put some compressed air in the overflow pipe to inflate the tank to push the dents out.
What did you use to plug holes?
How’s the gap at the end of the ruler before shrinking! That disk is magic 👌
Its a slow and steady process to bring down the last of the pregnant area and not take it too far so that the door skin sucks inwards. The ruler was a great gauge to see the progress. I have been coming and going from this door over the last few days so as not to over work it. The disc is part of the work - the rest is old fashioned slapper and dolly work to push the steel around.
Nice! More please.
Very nice. thank you for sharing
I’m gonna start the body work on my 68 C10 Chevy pickup. My goal is to do the body work with very minimal bondo(body filler). I’m wanting to use old school techniques and this video shows me I can do just that
Fantastic! To remove the skin, do you unpick the spot welds of the folded lip?
Yes I drill the spot welds with a spot weld drill and unpick them careful not to go right through to the metal underneath.
Awesome job 👏
Love it
great to see your work as usual. thank you. a few questions though, how does one remove all that bondo (bog)? also, would you quench your shrink disk area with a wet rag ? finally, your file/slapper;what effect does it have on the damaged area? does it grab a portion of the panel and squeeze it together?(and are you using "on dolly technique? ). thanks so much again for all your vids. it's an enormous help seeing this work in practice.cheers!
More great questions! Thanks Eddie. If no one asks no one learns! I will try to answer in order; I use a 3M purple clean and strip disc to remove the bog. I follow up with a power stripper drum wheel to give it that uniform brush finish. That's also the same material as the 3M clean and strip disc. As for quench with wet rag - well sometimes but I like to minimise that as it work hardens the steel quickly and makes it harder to bring down. The file slapper has wee teeth that shrinks a tiny bit and irons out the wrinkles. The shrinking disc irons out the fine wrinkles even further and flattens the panel down quickly. I use the traditional oxy torch heat shrinks to bring down the big creases and stubborn stuff to get basic shape and form closer quicker than go back to slap and shrink. Thanks for the questions and thanks for your continued support. I also use hammer ( slapper in this case) on dolly to flatten the dimples and bring up the lows.
@@streetneat thank you for clarifying all this for us. hopefully, i'll be better prepared in case i run into this type of severe damage. ciao.
