Bodywork Hammer and Dolly How-to: Dent Removal
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2024
- In this bodywork how-to we will be using Hammer and Dolly to perform dent removal. Metal working is a crucial part of the restoration body work process. Travis will be discussing what goes into getting a panel straight (sheet metal repair & dent repair) prior to applying filler. A big thanks to Ken Sakamoto for teaching his knowledge and taking the time to help us in our journey. Thanks for watching and we hope you learned something about how to use a hammer and dolly.

Another great lesson. Looking forward to the next episode.
VERY informative, especially for someone that hasn't even tried any bodywork yet. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Absolutely! Those has taught me more than I ever imagined it would!
Wow, what awesome info. You sir are on another level. Can't wait until the next video, soooo much great info. I would love to take your class. Thanks Travis
Thank you frank. Not sure when the next class will be we will post it when we do. Thx for watching
Great job with explaining how to shrink and stretch metal. Keep the videos coming !
Thank you. More coming this week
Such great content, thanks for sharing! Look forward to the next one.
Dropping this Friday 👍🏻
your videos are the first ones that actually make me want to donate to you or buy merch or whatever. thanks again foreal
Haha thank you very much. The best donation is spreading the word about the channel we would appreciate that very much.
You SIR are a legend.
Thanks for your awsome videos
So nice of you thank you
Excellent vid love the detail you went into can't wait for the next one
Thank you so much 👊🏻
That's how I learned to do it too. I didn't find a shrinking disc for years, I'm looking forward to that video.
Right on thank you!
Great and informative video as usual Travis...I am most intrigued with the fine detail videos where most guys fall short unlike yours. You have given me several tips already to make me realize I was doing some stuff wrong by clearly explaining why , and I value that very much...so thank you and am looking forward to the art of shrinking disc video your going to do.
Thank you very much. The next couple videos will all tie together and we have some real life scenarios to show also 👍🏻
So good! Great work Travis! This series is awesome 👊
Much appreciated buddy
Amazing information. Many ,many thanks.
Thank you
Great walk through!! Thank you
Thank you!
Another great video Travis, you are a great teacher mate, learning so much from your content, looking forward to the next one, cheers again from Australia 🇦🇺 🍻
Thank you very much glad you enjoy them!
Very well done instructional video.
Thank you
Thank You Travis for this outstanding, and extremely valuable Video. Larry, Ocala, FL.
You are welcome!!
Thank you. That was an excelent lesson.
Thank you!
Subscribed! Awesome information. I will be looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Awesome, thank you!
Great stuff as always my friend!
Thank you very much
great video very well explained
Thank you
Found your channel a couple of months ago and love the content. As usual another great video with clear explanation. As you mentioned I’ve been doing the hammer off dolly method on those low spots and just keep chasing highs and lows around the panel. My next project is 72 GMC pickup bedsides, giant panels that shows every minor imperfection. I can’t wait to try the method you’ve shown here. Looking forward to the next video in the series!
Thank you the next couple videos will really dial this in for you 👍🏻
fantastic video
Thank you!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Wow very good teacher thank u
Thank you!
Amazing.Thank You.This is some good stuff.Ed
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
awesome video thank you
Thank you
Great video!
Thank you
Great video And Good stuff!
Thank you!!
Travis your best I've seen cleared fog in my head
Awesome glad the video helped!
Fantastic work and video brother I love it please don't stop on that hood, God bless you my friend
Thank you. It will be a series of hoods and issues 👍🏻
So glad you are covering this. I have a 66 F100 roof with 1/4" filler all over that I'm in the process of removing. The whole roof is oil canning, and cut up from 25 year old resto previous owner did. I think someone was jumping on this roof and caved it in. I'm hoping to salvage this roof as I can't find a replacement panel and used ones are pretty expensive. Can't wait for the next video! Great job!
Thanks this series of videos will all apply to your roof 👍🏻
This is an awesome video. I came across my grandfathers old body hammers and was wondering how they were used. Thank you for the informative vid!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Travis Great video. I am working on my first project a 1971 C20 hit in the drivers side and i want to repair with minimal filler that is my goal. I watch all your videos and learned so much thanks for all you do I know you spend a lot of time making the videos so THANKS AGAIN.
Glad to hear thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video Travis, found you from the podcast restoration/refinishing🤟
Right on!!! Thanks for watching!
I need some Dollys. I have some covell hammers. Thanks for sharing.
Right on!!
This definitely a keeper to my private files I named “Moving Metal by Mr. T” I just wanted CZcams 46 years ago for use in the counties black & white Beta-Max, the refrigerator sized machine to play it in! I would share but my phone is wood and cotton wrapped cord to the phenolic bell-shaped mouth piece.
🤣🤣🤣thanks for watching!
Great video….
Thank you !
Heck yeah bring on shrinking disk
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
howdy from north of the 49th. ( up here in Canada). just found your channel. really like the content and the way it is presented. defiantly subscribed and will be watching for more.... Thanks again and love your logo
Thank you very much
Awsome
It’s so crazy and counter intuitive that hammer on dolly on a low will bring the low up.
Thanks for this. I’ve been guilty of using hammer off dolley because that’s the common belief. I’ll be using this technique from now on.
👌🏻👍🏻
I like the log spitting hammer lmao
Hahahahahahahahahahaha it got your attention
Never new that so much goes into this
Yep most don’t. It takes a lot of time.
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS remind myself to read what I wrote before I hit send.. spell check
Great advice, thanks, you have helped me understand now where I went wrong recently with a hood I was repairing.
Nice!! There’s more info coming soon. The shrinking disc is the most valuable part.
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS cool. I ended up shrinking with heat but it was less than ideal.
@@Squintanditsmint yep we’re going to cover that exact topic. We like precision heat shrinking with a disc 👍🏻
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS I see Wray from proshaper likes them but I'm still nit convinced. Look forward to it.
@@Squintanditsmint I feel it is because he has not described it in detail on how it actually works that is my goal to show the things that people don’t quite nail down I almost guarantee you will be a believer once we do these next couple videos. We have a couple different hoods we have to fix for different cars and we’re basically going to do a series with each one on how we address the damage and how we fix them in detail
I learned a bunch in 24 mins
Very glad to hear
thanks for sharing always top notch i'm goin in my garage to try these techniques,i realize now that i had no understanding of metal and my gorilla tactics simply don't work ty sir
Haha glad they are helping ya!
Great information. Any tips for working on a door panel where the internal crash beam (1970 GM 'A' body) prevents use of the dolly?
Depending on the damage if it’s bad enough we remove door skins and put them back on after repairing them
Thanks Travis , Wonder if you can elaborate on the body hammer that has the shrinking head like a meat tenderizing mallet. Or If you even use it
We do not recommend it. Next video will show case shrinking disc and you will find it very useful 👍🏻
I love your vids dude. Yknow ehat ive been missing tho is someone who can explain as good as you about profile sanding and sanding body lines. Over here ee usually tape over that and sand it after bodyworking the bigger part of the panel, but there must be a better way. Flexible dollies? Idk. Anyway congrats on all the good work.
I have some really good tricks on exactly that we will be showing at some point. My goal is to share it all 👍🏻🙌🏻
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS oops i meant to say flexible sanding blocks😅 thanks so much tho😊
Love the videos - question i have a crease in-between the trunk and door cant reach the inside ive seen videos where holes are drilled and crease is pulled out but that aint exciting me any thoughts?
Without seeing pictures it’s hard to gauge what exactly you’re trying to do. I’m not sure if you are on Instagram but if you are feel free to send some pictures
This is great what if you can’t use a dolly any tips with a stud gun ?
Just depends on what your trying to achieve we will remove panels and fix areas and put them back on. However you can use a stud gun if you wish
Wow I was doing it wrong for so long.
I am with you. When I first saw this demonstration I was mind blown
For welded seams for patch panels, you can get valleys on both sides of the weld. What method is best once you get the weld ground smooth?
Funny you ask we have a video we just filmed on this very issue. Once we get the editing done it will get posted. You hammer and dolly on the weld to stretch it out and up
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS Thanks. What I’m getting is low spots on both sides of my seam from shrinkage. I was careful with heat, but it still happened. My weld seems even with the main surface, but just has valleys along both sides of it. Maybe I’m not being aggressive enough, but hammering the welds directly on a dolly hasn’t seemed to bring the valleys up. I was thinking my backside penetration needed ground down as it’s bumpy on the back. Trying to avoid filler. Thanks.
When you belt sand the edge of your circular hammer's head, how far proud of the edge is the center of your hammer when you have it just right?
If I remember correctly it’s a #6 radius guage
What are your thoughts (or Ken's) on using a shaper spoon instead of a hammer in this situation? I see Wray Schelin (Pro Shaper) uses that frequently.
I like kens serated shrink disk the best.
I’m working on the front curve of a square body hood. Problem is you can’t get to the back side to work the dolly . I hate working on hoods such a huge flat area. I’ve been tack welding 1/8” steel rod with mig and pulling the lows up by them .
Sometimes you have to remove the inner structure then repair it and put it back together
Five star tutorial
Thank you!!
Question do i have to lead the rear qtr on my nova? Can i tack and short hair it on epoxy or right to metal? It has brass holding it together now. Tacked.
I personally don’t like the fiberglass filler. I either lead them or make a piece of metal to weld in and make flush
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS ok i will weld it up ty
If I have a board panel can I hammer and Dolly that back out flat before I use body filling
Board panel?
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS
Warped panel. Sorry talk to text.
So is there ever a proper application for hammer off dolly?
Yes if you are trying to move metal instead stretching it or shrinking it.
Great info. I have always gotten it close and finished with filler but after watching your video I am trying to finish it perfect. I too have been doing it wrong for a long time. I had a question on the technique for removing the dent. If hammer on dolly stretches metal and hammer off shrinks it how is using hammer on dolly removing the dent? I tried your technique and it definitely works which was really cool. But I can’t wrap my mind around why if the dolly on the backside and I’m hammering on dolly why it’s not making the dent stretch and get worse. Instead it’s bringing the dent back up which means it’s shrinking the stretched metal right? I hope my question makes sense.
Thank you. Hammer off dolly does not shrink it. It only moves metal around. The only way cold shrinking works is where hammer on dolly is pushing the high spot of metal in on itself. Once you start to hear the loud ting noise you are no longer shrinking you are stretching. I hope that makes sense. Maybe watch it again if it doesn’t make sense let me know.
Got it! I really appreciate it!
What process or tool are you using to strip your body panels to bare metal?
We have a video dropping today and we show the tool. Eastwood sct 40 grit
Looking forward to it. Who do I talk to about classes and airport proximity to them?
@@shaunswanson7390 check out sylvesterscustoms.com and it has all the info. Shoot us an email from the website 👍🏻
To technical to follow 🤷♀️
🤣
You're making too big of a deal of this and over complicating the process.
must just be part of the restoration niche. no ones doing it in collision repair
That’s because there’s no money in collision repair and it’s easily accessible to get aftermarket panels versus older cars that you don’t have that option
Great info thanks! Love all the content you guys are putting out🔥🔥🔥👍🏽🙌🙌🙌👏
Thank you!!
Great video
Thank you!
