Repair A Badly Dented Fender With Simple Tools
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 08. 2024
- In this film I will be showing some repairs on a badly damaged classic car fender. In the previous video I showed how I Mig welded the crack in this fender. In this segment I will be showing the dent repairs, as well as discussing some basic hammer and dolly techniques.
I love watching you rebuilding these beat up pieces that many folks would think were beyond repair. You've got great skills brother!!
Thanks!
Somehow I missed this one. More magic. I love watching you fix this junk
Kyle, without my being aware, your channel has became, definitely, my favorite.
I am sending links of your channel to all of my car buddies. Also, sent a link to a professional welder. With your most excellent "hammer & dollies" instruction, anyone can learn the art with practice. I was pleasantly surprised at the way you presented the instructions so plain & simple. That is evidence that you know your subject very well.
On a different subject -
I am very appreciative of your establishment of a new "fashion trend".
When I quit teaching Archeology & Ancient History in college, I shut the door on my suit closet and have not opened it.
Your attire is perfect. Change NOTHING!
Kyle, that was another fantastic video.
Thank you for your time & effort
Well thank you Glen for the support and the kind words! Comments like yours keep me motivated to keep going with this youtube thing!
I agree
Kyle, I am going back and watching your videos.
Man, these are fantastic.
What's funny is , I have all these tools without knowing how to use them right. I have a fender from my 1950 dodge pickup I have to work. Very good tutorial. I just need the patience to do the job.
Excellent tutorial on metal bumping, clearly explained in ways I haven't found in too many other places. You really have a gift for teaching. Between your videos and CWM, I've really managed to fool myself into believing I can handle bodywork tasks. Seriously, I've gotten over my fear of being the guy who destroys an 80 year old car beyond repair, and managed to tackle some pretty gnarly dents in a logical, intelligent way thanks to you guys.
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching!
That was a great video you're very knowledgeable in what you do
Kyle...in all my years, your the only one I've ever seen show Metal Repair without Bondo!
You sure do incredible metal work and I gotta appreciate a fella that gets evey bit of life out of a shirt that he can 👍 Merry Christmas to you and hope this new year is a blessing to you 🎅 absolutely love your channel!!
Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that you are enjoying it! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Those fenders would look good on a Teardrop Trailer project.
I'd like to see how you put a metal bead around the perimeter of the fender ,like wheelwell , thank for all of your useful info !!!
great job hard to believe you can get all the dent out. my hat is off to you
Thank you!
This was a friggin awesome video Kyle. I'm completely blown away on how good that fender turned out from what it looked like when you started. I highly appreciate how you explain an demonstrate the uses of hammers and dollies etc. I am so glad I came across your Channel Kyle. I've been going back and watching all your videos from the beginning of your channel. I appreciate your sense of humor as well, it brings a laugh to the day for sure. I highly appreciate your skill set with the ability of working metal the way you do. I've had hammers and dollies for years and was never taught anything, just dabbled with it mainly. By watching your channel I've come to a little better understanding on how to use hammers and dollies as well as using files. Keep up the awesome content. I really enjoy your Channel and appreciate the knowledge you share with the world. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey thanks for going back through the archives and watching this stuff, I appreciate the support!
Your metalwork is amazing. I repair brass musical instruments and working in steel is a totally different animal. Your patience and attention to detail is impressive. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! I've never worked with brass, so I suspect I'd make quite a mess of it if I tried doing what you can do!
Great intro once again! Dude you’re hilarious, but even better, you know your stuff and do a great job teaching. I’ve been around the block a couple hunnert times but learning from you. I hope your channel takes off! Please don’t let the money and fame change you, or your coat. Classic.
Oh the money and fame already has changed me, next week we will be comparing my new Lamborghini and Ferrari to see which is best...haha
Thanks for the kind words!
One of the rear fenders on the 34 is rough like that maybe has a couple more tears ! Thank you for sharing! I need all the help I can get. I really like the pointers that you shared!
Great work...! You're genuine body and fender artist!
Thank you!
@@CarterAutoRestyling You're welcome!
I loved your video when you repaired the cracked fender with fiberglass filler and tree sticks...I laughed hard! I thought you were serious at first haha. peace
I want to say thank you for taking the time to teach us how to use dollies and use different techniques to bring our metal back
Thank you for watching!
Man, when you first grabbed that fender, it looked more like an MMA fight, luckily you won. Amazing job on that belligerent fender
Thanks, it was a battle to the bitter end haha
I know nothing about tin bashing but I'm pretty sure I'm watching an artist at work here. Merry Christmas from England! Roll on 1,000,000 subs.
Thanks John, Merry Christmas to you as well! I think we will be waiting a few decades for the million subs haha.
Those Saskatchewan roads back in the thirties were sure hard on fenders. Good to see someone who knows how to put them back in order.
Haha, roads is an optimistic word... I think a lot of these vehicles spent most of their time bouncing around in a field.
Great work, fun to watch and learn. Low humidity in Saskatchewan must contribute to your dry humour (note correct spelling). Merry Christmas.
Haha yes the proper British spelling!
I can't wait to see the Delahaye.
You are showing what many of us need to know. Also new parts aren't always available.
Thank you, yes a lot of parts are unavailable, expecially if you're restoring an uncommon car. Often parts that are reproduced are quite expensive and/or of poor quality.
Love your work .Especially at the beginning,with your impressive use of the “foot mallet “!
Thanks, any tool can be the right tool haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling
Can I bring my 71 Chevy C10 to you?
I’ve been welding over 30 years and recently bought a Hobart welder and am quite pleased with it.
They are great welders!
I enjoy your efforts immensely and find Bondo jokes to be incredibly appropriate based on some of the "repairs" I have observed in real life. Keep bringing it!
Thanks George! I have fun doing the bondo jokes, now I think I understand why so many people hack stuff together haha!
Thank you for the video. I had badly damaged 47 ford coe fenders and have worked them per your video. They now look great. Thanks again!
I'm really happy to hear my videos helped you save the fenders on your Coe!
Late to the party watching this one but WHOA! Strong work!! Makes me feel a whole lot better about some of the panels I have to work with seeing how far you were able to bring that twisted wad of tin back around. Inspirational stuff!
Do not be so self-effacing, I watched this through a dog demanding to go out for a walk and risked missing the dry period on a wet Boxing Day. Your work was fascinating, your skill was obvious, and your patience something to be admired. I thank you for your seasonal wishes, I trust that your holiday experience and New Year will be filled with satisfaction and pleasure.
Thank you Richard! I'm happy that you would choose to spend your valuable time watching this type of thing!
Thank you for this thorough and detailed video on metalworking. It's always been a mystery to me. Your process of taking junk back to a usable part was heartening and amazing. I would never have taken on this sort of job before. You have proven to me that tackling a metal finishing job is within my capabilities. Thanks again.
I have a bit of advice. After many years working in garages and kneeling on concrete floors I will warn you not to do it. Build yourself a substantial, split level table or two. One height you can sit at and one you can stand to.
I back you up on that ,Leo, I am an old bugger and my knees have taken
the knock after years of abuse, now walking is agony and I spend my
time sitting and annoying commenters on ytube. Take note Kyle!!!!
Do you know Kyle, despite my warnings you continue… if you keep it up you’re going to wreck that jacket. Happy, happy New Year from Paris!
Sadly I may have ruined the jacket, last night I tried repairing it by splicing it with another jacket and duct tape. Happy New Year from Canada!
You are incredible and you're a good teacher also I've been watching on CZcams on streaming my TV so I don't know how to set up comments on it but I'll try and come back on my cellphone and comment, thank you and I appreciate your humor I bet you have people that don't get it from time to time but I've always had a dry since of humor people would actually Believe I was that stupid at times not realizing it wasn't me that was stupid 😂😂😆, thank you and I'll be going back through your old and watching your new as well, have a great day
Excellent lesson. You are definitely a very detailed individual. Your work is flawless. Thank you.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video! Kyle, your talent is top shelf. Some great explanations as to how the hammer and dolly work together. I have seen a lot of body work being done in person, some talented people, but not to this level! Keep it going! Hoping soon you can afford a needle and thread to sew up a couple of the rips in you clothes. Winter is coming soon in Saskatewan.
Excellent work and instructional techniques. Even I can learn with such informative hints. Keep up the good work, and the humor. Enjoyed it all.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you get to that million because I'd love to see you build that delahey, or maybe your version of the Boyd Coddington "whatthehey"
A million is probably unattainable, but we will get around to some kind of "hey" type project eventually!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I'd be thrilled to see your truck finished, I love that thing
You have got the skills with the hammer and dolly and thank you for showing us in detail how that works. You made that fender look good again and that wasn't a very good fender to start with. Awesome, have a great New Year. I can't wait to see what you do next. Love your channel.
Thank you Kenneth! I hope you have a Happy New Year too!
Hard to believe it’s the same fender. Well done
Thank you!
Thanks for the video Kyle. Humble and skilled is a great combination.
Thanks for watching Kurtis!
Have to say , over the YEARS I've seen lots of top body men. Your right on top with them. I've learned from them as a,teen now retired and 66. Over the years I've applied many things that you have shown. One thing no bondo in my presents, just never use the stuff. Primer s only thing, yes that thin. There's loads of old cars and trucks, but long live them round fenders. Glade to have found your site. Keep up the good work, I'm a big fan. HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Wow thank you for the kind words! I always enjoy hearing from real bodymen like yourself! I'm still very much an amateur at this stuff and learning every day. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying these videos!
Excellent job
Love the explanation with drawings which conveys the technique of removing dents very clear. Great work!
Thanks Rob, glad to hear you found it helpful!
Wow... this was great info..Thank you!
Kyle thank you for sharing your talent and insight into the black art of good tin (re)shaping. Scott set me on to you recently and I have to tip my fedora to you both. Keep up the good works and I hope to see more in the future.
Thanks for watching Cliff! I'll try to keep the videos coming, I'm happy to hear that people are enjoying them!
Good job whipping that finder back into shape. Like the dry humor as well. I just wish that i had video footage of projects That i have done in my past years.
Thanks, I hear ya; I have almost no photos or videos of anything I've worked on in the past 11 years. Even though these videos are a pain to make it's nice to have some documentation of things I'm doing and vehicles I've owned. The bonus is that other people seem to be enjoying this stuff too.
@@CarterAutoRestyling People do enjoy this as i am finding out my self. I have been posting pics and small videos on my facebook page so my fallowers can see what i am doing, and that it is not magic how things get done but a lot of hard work. I have been asked if i would do a youtube channel. Im just not sure if i have the time to do it. let alone the video editing.
Dude you are awesome! addressing one of the fenders on my 47 ford tonner and this is exactly the video I need to find. I’ve watched this a few times over taking notes before I start swinging a hammer
Thank you, good luck on your 47 project!
not sure yours has wire reinforced fender lip edge? if so, see my comment near top, otherwise, follow his video 100%
Great stuff, Ive been looking for someone to repair some poorly repaired dents in my 40 Dodge coupe fenders. Now I might try myself. I'm not looking for perfection, I just dont want it to look like poorly repaired fenders. Cheers from frosty Edmonton. Also now I can prove to my wife that my garage shirts are still good
Thanks! Too bad we aren't closer, that sounds like a fun project! Good luck with the repairs, even if it doesn't turn out perfect, a little putty and a little paint will make them what they ain't haha!
@@CarterAutoRestyling yeah, I’m just trying to get it to match the body that is in original condition with original paint. I’d love to send you some pics, just don’t know if that’s possible . Cheers
GOOD JOB ON REAR FENDER, LOOKS LIKE 34 CHEVY, HOPE I CAN DO WORK LIKE YOU, LEARNED A LOT. 👍
Thanks David!
Thanks for the teaching . I don’t have a dolly yet but I found a broken Croquet mallet that I use with a cap from a oxygen cylinder. Fixed a couple dents. Looking forward to the next one!
Any tool can be the right tool! Thanks for watching!
Amazing transformation!
Thanks
Looking forward to the Delahaye video. Enjoying the collaborations with CWM and I'm interested to see what happens with the truck. The dolly/dent explanation was really good, thanks. I expect that with practice you are more intuitive and reach for the appropriate hammer/dolly without having to think it through.
So far I've mainly been tapping and pulling dents and have had some success with a hot-glue puller. I want to try fabricating and I'm thinking of something relatively simple such as a chain guard.
"Beating panels into submission" or "Obedience school for panels" I'm actually learning this vanished art! 8-)) Merry Christmas!
Thanks Bob. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Merry christmas happy new year fender looks great an laughter never killed anyone dont change to suit others beyourself looking forward to more helpful videos next year . From OZ 🇦🇺
Thanks and the same to you Peter! I don't plan to change any time soon, even if it scares the majority of potential viewers away!
Dang bro, you make Jesse James look a a first grade amature.Amazing watching you work that metal.
Haha I don't know about that, Jesse James would just build a fender in half the time it took me to fix this one. Thanks for watching!
Good educational vid, Thanks.
Excellent work. Just discovered your channel today and have already learned a couple things
Thanks! Glad to hear some of this stuff is slightly educational!
I’ve got to find one or two of those shoe hammers-they seem handy! 🤣😂🤣 Nice transformation!
Haha, any shoe can be a shoe hammer!
Merry Christmas. Good video would have been very helpful back in the 80's when my cousin asked me to repair his dented and cracked 29 model A fenders.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you as well!
yup it's a keeper well done
awesome work as always!
Thanks!
I can't believe you saved that mudguard( that's Australian for a fender) well done!
Thank you! Mudguard seems like an appropriate name for a fender!
I'm going to watch all ur video's
Thanks Robert!
Makes me want to get some tools and an old fender and see what I can do. I'm sure what took you 4 hours would take me 4 days, and still wouldn't be as good. Thanks for the inspirational video! Looking forward to another!
Glad you found it inspirational! Thanks for watching!
MERRY CHRISTMAS oh your cat looks like a cat i had sure do miss him .Well done enjoy your video's
Merry Christmas to you Harry! I'm glad to hear you enjoy this stuff!
There was a Swedish guy named Skipjun. He had your sense of humour. He first brought back a 1957 Ford Fairlane. Then a 1946 Hudson Commodore. Then in a fit of madness he rescued two prewar Plymouth frames from the woods that were so corroded they broke in two and had lengths missing. By heck he restored those frames to like new. Like you incredible metal skills. Sadly he has deleted his channel now. Absolute wizardry
That's a shame, sounds like something I'd really enjoy watching!!!
I think you're referring to "Slipkungen". I loved watching him too. Too bad he deleted his channel. He was borderline insane with the projects he took on...
Good stuff. Getting ready to fix fenders on a 48 Chevy 3600 pickup. Thanks.
That's an awesome truck! Good luck with your project!
Already over 4100 subscribers! I'd say you are well on your way to great things. Thanks for the show!
Thank you for watching and supporting the show!
Who knew there was so much science in panel beating! I thought you just banged on the dents until they went away!
Eagerly awaiting the Delahaye build! V-12?
Well people have been beating on metal for thousands of years and building some impressive stuff before anyone ever started explaining the science of it! My Delahaye will most likely have a stovebolt straight 6 haha
Im stoked for the delahaye build!!! Come on 1000000!!! Currently at 4100!!! Woohoo almost there!
Haha yup should only have to wait 6 more decades for that to happen!
Nice job on that fender, very impressive.
Thanks
Fantastic job, you certainly have mastered the art of sheet metal repair. The biggest challenge you have now Is to repair your padded shirt 😃 👍🏴
Thanks, I definitely have some shirt repairs in my future haha
That shirt is just nicely broke in. Probably super comfy! 😄
Sooo many comments to be made....
Yes, you need to do a shirt repair video or at least a segment/part of the show like Scott does. Maybe a safety and clothing segment.
I had a shirt like that but duct tape got too expensive.
The tie was a nice touch.
The tail going by was well done.
The hammer moving by the string was epic and leaving the string on it during use was great for production continuity.
1,000,000 viewers might happen than you think. Start planning the Delahaye
Hmm.. is using steel-toed boots what is meant by a "toe dolly"?
Hey! You do have a car that fender would fit on.. the one it is sitting on in the video. get at it
Sadly, soon you will be too popular to answer/respond to all of the comments.
Oh ya
.. great job on the fender/mudguard.
Live long and prosper.
Thank you for the excellent comment/comments. I'm glad you noticed the hammer string continuity and the unplanned tail intrusion. I'm already having a hard time keeping up with comments, 1,000,000 followers would ruin what's left of my life haha.
You have a life? Wow. I'm envious. ;)
Cheers
awesome metal work really patient nice detail
Thank you!
Merry Christmas buddy I hope I will be able to do body work as good as you someday!And at 60 I need to get it figured out. Thank you so much for your videos
I would be proud to run that fender on my car, like you said, a one off deal is hard to find and I doubt you would find one any better, nice work Carter
Thanks Geoffrey. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but it might take 10 years to find one.
@@CarterAutoRestyling after you get done with it I doubt you would find a better one. I don't think I would sandblast it but it can be washed with a metal prep rust killer and primed with a high build surfacer and block sanded to perfection
He's pretty good for a Homeless Guy. Stumbled upon this channel and love this guy. Nice Hands Buddy.🙂Happy New Year Dude.
Haha happy to hear you are enjoying my "Homeless Guy Works on Junk Vehicles" series! Happy New Year to you as well!
Nice work... I'll spread the word about your channel...can't wait to see the Delahey project..
Thank you I appreciate it!
Excellent use of the Foot Mallet to rough in the initial shaping!
Thanks! The old foot mallet hasn't let me down yet haha
Ha Ha Kyle I like your style! Thanks for the tutorial on metal working, it's very interesting and educational. I feel like I'm in school again. Great work as always!👌
Thanks Ken, I've been having fun putting these videos together. Glad to hear that some of the tips are helpful too!
Merry Christmas my friend, I’m glad to have found the channel
Merry Christmas Max! I'm glad to have you watching!
Well I look Listen and learned thanks for that. Merry Christmas ☃️
Thanks for watching, and Merry Christmas to you too!
Excellent video! Can’t wait for the Delahaye build. 😉 Merry Christmas, Kyle. Looking forward to watching your channel prosper in the new year. Cheers!
Merry Christmas to you as well. If I had the time, space and money I'd start on the Delahaye build tomorrow. I can't see this ever hitting a million followers haha
Looks great !!
Shows a lot of Great work that At first did not think that was same fender. That you finished with. Make some more videos and sure you channel will grow greatly. I like seening panel repaired instead of replaced all the time, Your are a bodyman then and not a parts changer.
Thanks Gary!
Very impressed with your work
Thanks Richard!
Beautiful job!!!
Thank you
Awesome - definitely this underwhelming demonstration deserved an immediate subscription from me. 🤣. If my vote counts for anything now that I’m a subscriber with an active bell turned on, I would love to see you do the patch repair you described at the end of this episode. Thank you sir and Merry Christmas 👍👍😎👍👍
Thank you Joel, glad to hear you enjoy this type of thing!!!
You are a good teacher thanx for sharing your knowledge
Thanks!
I have a shirt like yours, mine does not have the "Patina" that yours does. Great Video....thanks
Thanks Joel. Sounds like you have good taste in clothing haha
I appreciate the clear explanations. I am a novice metal bumper and require all the help I can get. Have a blessed Christmas and a successful new year.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that the explanations are coming through clearly! Merry Christmas and happy new year Paul!
Instructional and good instructor. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great and informative video as always. Maybe another wrinkle to add would be for those of us who are keeping things as a survivor, and need to repair cracks and bring up dents while doing the minimum amount of damage to the factory paint, and can’t file or sand. Obviously a guy will never be able to get that survivor panel perfect, but we all try to get as close as possible !
Merry Xmas to everyone
I try not to go too far down that road because there's a lot of insanely talented people who specialize in that type of thing, expecially the pdr guys. On my own vehicles I usually just bump the damage out with a soft mallet and call it good enough, cracks and rust damage I try to keep the repairs as small as possible, so I usually end up leaving the repair area a little low and blend it out into the old paint with polyester putty. Depending on the definition of "survivor", if a vehicle's a little rough around the edges, I'll make the repair look period correct, weld it from the inside with a mig for strength, and then use silicone bronze on the outside so it looks like an old repair that was brazed in.
@@CarterAutoRestyling thanks for the reply; I am definitely a beginner skill wise but I’m getting better. I’m working mostly on “rougher” survivors, and I try to preserve that look as best I can; much like the patina on your truck that you demonstrated dent removal and welding tears. Keep up the great videos, I will be waiting for each one to see what new skills I can learn!
Sweet looking fender, good job! Save the fender the rest of the car pieces are out there somewhere.
Thanks, I sold the rest of the car last November
Very educational, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I just subscribed.
Looking forward to the building of that Delahaye.
Thank you for that! I suspect the Delahaye project is a ways off yet haha, but if I had the time, money and space I'd be starting on it tomorrow!
That tie really brings out the red in your eyes.
Haha my thoughts exactly!
@@CarterAutoRestyling have you considered a PO Box? Someone might choose to send some fresh duct tape for your shirt or a piece of foam that doesn’t look like the dog chewed it.
You do amazing work. I’m still a bit hacked off due to the decided lack of duck tape in this repair but will give you a pass since it is Christmas. I truly hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday season and a happy new year. 🎊
Thanks Johnny. I apologize for the lack of hackery in this episode, but don't worry, there will be plenty more of that to come!
@@CarterAutoRestyling I knew we could count on you.
You seem very patient , with your body work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well!
Great video merry Christmas from New Zealand 👍🏼take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺🇳🇿😎
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well from Canada!
Thanks for doing a vid on those fenders for the advanced design. They really look good on that truck. The colour kind of blends well with the rest of the truck. It would have looked funny not if those fenders were red.
Yeah they are the nicest sheetmetal on that whole truck. I may still scuff the whole truck down and prime it one colour.
I've watched Scott from Cold War Motors do some body work on his channel, and when he gets serious about a dent, he uses a tree stump to hammer against. I'm not sure about the type of tree, age of the tree, or if it has the bark on or off, you might need to ask him about that stuff. You do a very good job. John
Thanks John, I think the correct tree to use is whichever one is in the yard haha.
