      He's overlooking using foam in a can for dent repair. Fixing the metal is so much work when you can use foam in a can, your moms electric turkey knife, a cheese grater and a coat of bondo.

    Lots of stuff for me to learn! Wish I would have had your videos 12 years ago when I started fixing old rusty junk! The doors on my 64 f100 where in pretty good shape except at the mirror location. The mirror fits through a small slot and fastens the door near the hinge pocket. The bolt on aftermarket ( several ) mirrors had been bent, pulled, and twisted distorting and tearing the metal. I couldn't figure out a way to get behind it with a dolly so I cut the skin out, straightened it and filled the holes. Then I welded it back in place and had the little slot exactly where it should be. We won't talk about the first side but the passenger side turned out great! Something about too much heat:( very little filler and they both look pretty good for a dummy hack!:) Thanks for the humor and skills!

By doing that you relieve a lot of that stress in those high tension areas before you get there and reduce risk of oil canning. Super nice work though. I like how you use use the spoon with pressure on the underside. Smart. Your methods left it nicer than what I’ve seen from a lot of experienced body guys. Keep it up metal man!

    The cats were probably thinking "If I ignore him maybe he'll go away!" That shop is nuts wanting so much for such a simple repair. It's a shame so many people are out to get you. You must have one of those faces that makes people think you're an easy mark.

    Had me worried for a while, could hear a rescue siren in back round. Figured they were coming for you lol . Even kitty knows better than to make eye contact with crazy. Long cold dark day's will test your judgement. All in all another great how to video.

    Most people would not to take the time to fix something like that. But part of repairing as opposed replace with a new aftermarket part is the fact that the history of the vehicle is being preserved. Even if the part was interchanged with a different vehicle the history and people involved in the manufacturing and assembly is being preserved and that is pretty cool.
