As an ASE certifid master auto mechanic I have always had the upmost respect for body guys. These guys work magic in my opinion.
Not your first rodeo. Nice work.
Excellent repair and paint! Nice work! 🤘🏽🤙🏽
Awesome work! I always wondered how safe it ends up being and if it would properly sustain a crash now that the side is multiple pieces
Just as safe if done properly, manufacturers procedures.
Excellent repair! I'm not a pro, but it's always satisfying to watch your videos.
Quick questions: Why do you use a body saw and also a cut-off wheel to trim the panel part off? In which situation do you prefer to use a body saw?
When trimming the new panel part, it really doesn't matter, but when doing the final cuts I like to use the air saw because I have much better control over it, it is thinner, and less aggressive(sometimes the inner panels have very little gap between them). I normally always prefer the saw. The cut-off is definitely quicker
@@AUTOBODYTECH Awesome, hopefully someday I could replace the panel by myself
Great work and video! Where are you located at and how long have you been in the industry? I’m a tech in California been doing it for 5 years. Always good to see people doing good work.👍🏼
Thanks! I'm in Ontario 🇨🇦 been in the industry 13 - 14 years.
What’s the benefit of using a belt sander to remove spot welds vs drilling them off?
Nice job
Great job! How long does a repair like this take?
They make it look so easy, 19 min 27 sec
😄 🤣
Probably 25 to 30 hours of working time. This doesn't include refinish. Making and fitting the backing plates nice is most time consuming
Why the etch primer after filler?
Just to protect the work and bare metal from the elements. Sometimes, it doesn't get prepped right away
@@AUTOBODYTECH gotcha
👏👏👏
the diagram you showed with areas circled... who provides that... what are the circled areas? Do they indicate areas that may be cut for the splice?
Yes, these are the areas where you are allowed to section. These procedures are from all data. You need to pay a monthly subscription, but it provides all OEM procedures
thank you@@AUTOBODYTECH
Great Video! Where do you get your replacement panels?
Thanks! They are OEM from the dealership
I'm thinking about hearing protection at this point
hehe
You can’t use those on every vehicle. Many mfg, like Toyota, only allow for butt joint weld “without backing”. Also have vehicles requiring using silicon bronze for joints like this.
Yup, always refer to manufacturer procedures before repairs
I wonder what insurance allowed 5hrs on that bedside lol. Gravy job
How many hours would you have wanted? I would have asked for 8 and probably got 6.
Can’t use those backing plates on many vehicles. Toyota is an example of one that no longer allows it.
Yup!
Those little backing plates and but welds will rip apart in a crash. And crack over time, looks good
Muito Bom!!
What brand is the mig welder . Great work
It's a GYS welder
That metal looks really thin
Probably 25 gauge
Good job bro🔥
Whats your position called at work?
Auto body and collision damage repairer
How much would that job cost a private owner?
As in, What is cost without profits?
Hello I have a question regarding cutting off the damaged panel. From what I can see and I definitely could be wrong it looks like you are cutting through structural unibody members to remove the damaged panel. Not so much up on the center pillar where you used a die grinder but down on the rocker where you used an air saw. Then when you go back with the new panel to make your final fitment cuts. What am I missing? Thanks.
@Danno74Z I am only cutting through the outer skin. You are correct, you do not want to be cutting through any other layers other than the outer skin
I went back and look closer and I saw the cuts. Yep you and the other tech just cut the outer skin. Autobody surgeon. :)
@Danno74Z haha yea, it requires a steady hand!
Wondering how much $$$ for a collision 💥
About $7000-8000 for something like this
What's the color code or paint name
I believe it's delmonico red pearl
@AUTOBODYTECH it's a beautiful color
@@Juniors_bodyshop I agree, the video doesn't do it justice
@AUTOBODYTECH what the best way to learn autobody I tried with shop but nothing I'm trying to do it on my own !
@@Juniors_bodyshop Find a shop that does hourly work and prove to the techs that you're worth it
You have to give to get.
good luck!
When you don't know how to repair so you remove and replace.
Doors were damaged beyond reasonable repair, the truck isn't old or rare, but the B pillar, rocker, and truck bed were easy repairs without remove and replace. Less prep, paint, and time and get it back to the customer sooner and bring in the next project.
A shop considers all approved methods of repair, then chooses the most profitable. I would not change a thing about this repair, this guy knows what he’s doing.
