That was badass. I love the fact that you're showing techniques and skills, rather than just trying to sell me a door.
Thanks man!
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
Good luck!
It's almost the only practical and educational video i ever have seen for dent repair. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment!
This ole boy knows his stuff. Great tips every time I watch a video
Dude is a freaking artist. Kudos!
Thanks man!
This guy is great unlike a lot of the other shows he does what he is talking about
Thank you for the compliment, and thanks for watching!
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.
This is the episode I’ve been waiting for. Thanks. Learned a lot.
Our pleasure, thank you for watching!
Great old school technique with that tool. Hats off to you.
Thanks for doin it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A skilled craftsman at work.
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
We knuckleheads appreciate the video. Bear out!
Haha, thanks!
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!
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV And sometimes covering the head of a steel hammer with tape can also provide a little bit of added protection for the paint. Great video - thanks. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Nothing can replace skills and imagination. Awesome.
Nope!! Nothing never will either!!
Thank you Rick!
Love that you show you can take ur time and save these old trucks. When I get to the old cab of my project this is all gonna help tremendously!
Good luck with your project Robin!
That's amazing, especially for not having a ton of special body hammers and pressers and whatnot. Great job.
Thanks 👍
Great camera views
Thank you for that feedback!
That was brilliant, I really enjoyed seeing the metal move and going back to shape.....
Thank you!
Great video, very helpful for any of us doing project vehicles! Thank you!
Our pleasure!

Our pleasure!
Nice to know he a body man to not just how to exchanging or installing something.. great work 😃
Thanks Bubba!
Man keep em coming, how bout small rust spot repair and paint. Love your videos.
We're about to do a small rust repair on a door in an upcoming video. Not 100% sure we'll be painting it, but stay tuned!
This old bird has had some wild nights in a bar I bet lol. Reminds me of my grandpa minus the slow southern draw. Somethin like Sam Elliot.
Good show
I started body work when I was 13 now 65, I was told to take the dent the way it went in. The first part hit is the first part to come out
Thank you for this specific video I have a dent just like this I can't manage to get out
Thanks for sharing the details, Dave has a lot of experience and knowledge.
My pleasure!
That was a great video! I have seen those tools before, but I didn't know you could fix a door like that.
You'd be surprised how versatile the tools in your garage can be.
Your videos are great. I like watching these cause I have all these projects coming on my truck
Thanks for watching!
Next episode: cobweb removal. JK. Excellent tutorial! Keep ‘em comin’!!
This guy is common sense.....I can relate....
Im going to try this. I have a 78 Regal and have a dent on my driver side door. Every video ive watched, they popping out newer model cars. Nothing old or with rust and metal. Thanks
Good luck with the G body project!
Dave sweating his tits off. Lemme show you what I’ve done in 45 minutes.
Thanks Brothers for putting up these videos that aren’t even selling a product.
Thanks for always watching!
Nice work, you dont give yourself enough credit. Well done and thank you.
Thanks Darren!
A bunch of us
Love Doable 👍🪒
Thanks for this great share!!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Our pleasure!
This was an amazing video! Now to try this out on my bed side.
Clever way to use a porta power. Idk if I would've thought of that
Awsome presentation!
Thank you sir!
1 a.m found this channel, subscribed!
👍😎
Good thing about having a old automobile u can resave alot of the original parts .
Heck yeah man!! The original stuff is alot if times the best!! Reuse as much as you can!!
Really turned out nice
Thanks Tim!
Nice work man !
Thanks!
Great as always!! Thanks
Those videos help me a lot! I'm restoring a 59 Apache fleetside :)
Our best advise is just have fun with the project!
RMD, I am as well. This site has been a blessing. How far along are you?
Excellent! 👍
Loved this video, learned a lot from it too
Thank you for the feedback!
I did the same thing with a scissor jack and a rubber dead blow, it was a struggle.
Yeah, it's not easy. Good job tackling it though!
Awesome Dave!
I appreciate the Kudos!
I'm impressed..
Thanks for watching!
Wow.👏Very helpful.👏Looks great.
Thanks for watching!
Great Tip
Thanks man!
Good tips! Thank you
What i do is pray for the dent to get well... I have a lot of dents
LOL
I am all about saving original vehicles. It’s amazing what you can do with hammers and blocks of wood. Original is much more interesting than restored to me. It’s a fine line though, knock that big stuff out👍
Very true!
Hey Dave!! Must be a California truck!! No rust on top of all those dents and dings??!! Lucky ducky!! Lol!!
That's NOT A rubber mallet .. it's a dead blow or solid/rawhide mallet .. just saying .
Thanks for showing us old school(sic) skills . A very good Production .
Maybe you could demonstrate the Peck and File method in a future video !
I got the same type of dent if not a bit a worse it’s on my passenger side I got a 1961 Apache
Get after it, let's see what you can do!
His movements remind me of George Mcfly. Great vid though.
Are these older vehicles made of panels to heavy guage to be repaired with paintless dent repair methods?
Nope, you can still use a PDR method to repair older sheetmetal
Is there any other recommended ways on how to help push from underneath? I don't have the money for a porta power and it's almost impossible to hold a dolly to the inside while trying to hammer
You could use a board and leverage it from one of the openings against another board? Kinda like a see-saw...
What make model porta power is that?
If I get one from harbor freight is that effectiveas as well?
Thank you for making this video its very educational.
PS - how many ton porta power is that?
How many tons do you need for classic car gauge steel?
Thank you
Thank you for the vid! Where can I get that jack to push our dents?
It's called a Porta Power Jack. You can find them on Amazon, Harbor Freight, Eastwood, etc.. Normally about $100-$150
Hi, thanks for all the lessons, much appreciated. Question, where can I find replacement floor panels dos 2005 Ford f150 4 doors, just the 2 fronts. Thank you.
You can try Keystone Parts or AMD, they may have what you need.
👍
Nice!
I think air bags would be much better than a Porto power
The great thing about a repair like this is that you can get creative with whatever you have available to you.
I wish someone would make a complete door or complete skin for 60 to 63 trucks
Someday!
Would It help to use hot water? I have a 82 chevy and I need to get this dent out
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?
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.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Way cool! Thanks for posting the awesome videos and demonstrating with easy to understand explanations!
@@mattchastain1770 Our pleasure!
Oh good, because my driver side door has the same exact dent haha
So. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it kind of looks like you are shrinking the metal back down during this process!
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
What’s the name of that jack you have?
Where can i get that tool
What kind of jack is that?
Its called a Porta Power
Broooo
I don't think this was his first time pulling dents........
Nope, Dave has lots of experience, but sometimes even with all that experience there is some experimenting!
