    Good job! You know the old saying, "if you don't use it, you lose it" Thank for bringing this technique back to my grey matter. I am going to try this on my 69 C/20's quarter panel by taillight. Have a good day! Darren

    I've done this before but I went to harbor freight and bought the cheapest hammer dolly set and took a couple different contour Dolly's and welded them to the pump jack ,really speeds the process up.

    One of the major points of hammering it is to release the stress from the metal. It has a memory of the original correct shape and contour. The job of the body man is to get it to move back to that original position

    Awesome video!! Great job saving the paint on that door. I also warm up the paint with a heat gun to make the paint more pliable when pushing a big dent out like that one. It just helps to keep the paint from fracturing any worse. Thanks for taking that challenge...and showing us too!

    This gives me hope for my '62 C10 door! Mine doesn't have the trim, and a smaller, less severe looking dent than your example. Since it's smaller, would you suggest hammer and dolly or studs and puller for a newbie?

    • @BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
      @BROTHERSTruckPartsTV  3 года назад

      We'd suggest you start using some of the methods we show here and then move on to a hammer and dolly or a puller if necessary. We find it's easier to push these out from behind than to try and pull them from the front.

      To some extent the metal is shrinking, but because of the amount it was stretched by the dent it will probably need to be shrunken more with sone heat before it's perfect
