The cheap way to straighten a core support! Redneck ingenuity creates a frame rack for collisions!

- A customer brought in a late model car that had a deer impact from the side. Originally it was just planned to swap body panels from a donor car but upon further inspection it was determined that the substructure was shifted over and would cause issues with component fit up later on. So I decided it needed to be straightened and I wanted to do it in a way that most anybody would be able to recreate with simple tools.

Does black walnut trees work the best for these applications?
I've found they work better than Evergreens but do not provide the shade of an Oak. Thanks for watching Zachery!
@@alan6832 The drivetrain was shot
My brother had a S-10 pickup a 95 model I had a buddy I run a shop he did body work and so forth he tied that truck to the tree and told my brother to throw it in reverse and believe it or not he pulled that front in he told him to stop and he pulled that front end back straight he took the whole front end and pushed it back a good quarter to half inch because the truck couldn't get the hood out of last from the front without them bolt in the hood
Got to love some Classic mortske. I remember fixing my friends mom's car in a similar fashion when I was about 14. She ended up being one and only one of my friends moms that liked me. All the others thought I was a bad influence 😂
“4x4 would ideal but we’re not rich”.....LMAO! Great videos!
Times are tough here!
Saving a car that would otherwise be totaled, I'd say well done and thanks for creating this video!
Hey thanks a lot! You're correct, nothing but a parts car had we not fixed it. Will provide many more years of service now. thanks for watching and commenting!
a tree a come along and some thinking, can save alot of work! especially that inner structure, thank you for another good show!
You bet!
That was great. Wonderful frame machine. I have to admit I have put a vehicle or 6 between two trees and pulled them out the same way when they were wrecked in the front or back. Great instructional video.
Use what you have available! Thanks for watching!
I did this once parked against a pole, cumalong around a nearby tree for pulling, bottle jack and scissor jack, maybe some blocks of wood, etc. for pushing from inside
You gotta use what you got!! Thanks for watching!
Redneck repairs are the best, I will be doing one of those in that fashion, it's from the inside, its a tounge that holds the front right quarter panel, around 3mm steel. I'd use a widow maker jack against something I guess, not the alternator though lol.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Memories....thanks again for taking me back to the 80s.lol
Love the content on your channel and you do a great job, but you know we really tune in for the dog. Duffy (SP?) is a superstar! We had a dog like that when I was young that my Dad and I worked with to bring home a lot of quail. A great dog builds great memories.
I've known Duffy to be the star of the show since we started doing these old will it run videos. Which is fine. He's a great companion in the shop. He wishes we hunted more birds than cars tho!! Wouldn't have it any other way than having him ride along on my adventures!
Still gettin' caught up on old episodes. Lovin' it ! Thanks Mortske
Much appreciated!
Yeah I'm going to watch them all if it kills me, it's getting too cold for samwiches, but it's never too cold for pirate drinks
@@justinsane7128 AAARRRRRRR!
this was real good to know thinks love the show have fun
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video it helped me out greatly. You are the man!!!
Glad to hear it!
A good, strong tree always comes in handy💪
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
Those damn 3.8 motors are darn near bullet proof with proper maintenance. I had gotten up to 25 psi on the factory Eaton blower with a machined snout and a tiny ass pulley. Those blocks can hold a ton of power!
Awesome!
Hell ya dude. I needed this inspiration.
I got a nice big tree in my yard- gonna go get a come along and see what I can’t do
She's ready for Craigslist Clean title never been wreaked bring cash no tire kickers
We used to use a come-a-long ,a chain and a big ass oak to straighten the frame on old race cars and what not back in the day when cars were not disposable....
I've used a skidsteer and the winch on my trailer. They get a bit more aggressive than a come-a-long!! So I wanted to try something different that anybody could do. Worked surprisingly well! Thanks for commenting!
@@MortskeRepair i remember during the off season one yr back in 85 or 86 be built a new car bought a junked 55 chevy chassis from a fellow competitor and a 64 chevelle from another got the chassis home rolled it to the back of the shop chained it to the frame tree and got it squared back up ..it was in bad shape and probably had 250 races on it but it was as good as new when we finished with it ...the guy that set the car up after we got it together except for paint and body said for it to be a pure pile of junk when we started ...it was the easiest one he had to set up in over 20 yrs we ran that car another 5 or 6 yrs before we sold it and moved up a class and its still on the track so im betting its got a good 50 yr of dirt track racing on it now and still winning races ..the guy that bought it from us has passed it down to his don and now his grandson drives it ...so its been around for many moons and still goin strong
@@PapaJ5667 If that chassis could talk!! Thanks for the great story James!
I would highly suggest to anyone doing this please put a heavy blanket, door mat or something similar over the area that you're pulling, so you don't risk possible death if it happens to pop loose and fly at your head.
I gotta try this on my Honda.
genius. I plan to do this on my car
love your ideas how to repair things great stuff thanks
Thanks for watching Mike!
Thanks for the super education man
Haha I don't know about education but there's some information in there! Thanks so much for watching Robert!
I would want different colored fender and hood....intentionally! I love beaters.
I'd just leave them off!
Great job 👍👍🇨🇱
Hey thanks a lot Shane and thanks for watching!
Well, that's interesting. Because I've used my ratchet comalong for just about everything.
They're a very versatile tool. Like a hammer or a vise grip! Thanks for watching!
What did we ever do without a come along hoist good for a thousand uses. Yep good enough repair that everything still works and that small dent in the fender why a blind man would never see it lol
They're right up there with vise grips and ratcheting wrenches!
Itchy dog mine does it too. Taking the grains and corn out of their diet helped a lot quickly.
Nice 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Great job
Thanks
I can do this! Thank you, redneck genius.
Best of luck!
@@MortskeRepair Did not work for me. Hook ripped my frame. I umm didn't have it in the same place. Dang, how to fix a slanted wheel? Parts all replaced... Hard to see why it is slanted I think it's all pushed in a bit. Probably gonna just part with the vehicle
@@Scott-iv7gl You gotta go around the frame, not hook into it
Thank yah. Definitely subbed! big vgg vibes 😂👍🏻
much appreciated!
You forgot the beer brother lol
It was off camera!
Nice video man loved the tips
Nice video and Thanks for reminding me I shouldn't have sold my 2000 Impala LS really loved that car and had too many cars and got a fair offer for it so I regretfully sold it. It had the good 3.8 in it too.
Thanks for watching!
@@MortskeRepair I am sure you too have cars you wish you hadn't sold it too. Just part of life. Loving your channel you're not as goofy as that Okie guy...
@@ryanhawkins1235 Yup, Can't keep em all!
Thanks for Reminding me I shouldnt have sold my 2005 Cts-V , right when the first gens were at their alltime low on the market. I couldve gotten 3-4x more for it today lol, that still hurts. Plus just how fun it was with the LS6 and 6 speed was so sooo fun
Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
This car would be great for figure 8 racing,
Good job, time to have a sandwich. Take care morski.
I'll have to remember this
Good to know about oak trees, pine tree chained to the front and skid steer on the back will pull out the best deer damage, cottonwoods will work to pull out bent bumpers but never trust a birch.
Great point!
You had me at DUFF DOG
Such a good boy!
Oh yeah! A little bit of puddy and paint and make it what it ain’t..
hey man beats a rail machine any day.. if the would have hit deer in a old Chevy we would be having deer instead of fixing a impala lol
The price was right! You ain't a kiddin there Michael! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Lol i did same thing to my late wifes VW rabbit years ago guess it works for everyone lol
Where there's a will there's a way! Thanks for watching!
Just fine for a work or teenagers car
Yeah, nothing special. Bodywork on a budget! Probably cost $5k to get a similar job done at a shop and the outcome is about the same other than a better paint match. Thanks for watching!
Impalas look 8dentical to caprices but has logo on grill caprices had it on hood as hood ornaments
Is there a video of u fixin a side sway frame damage (shifted frame rails) with a come along and a tree? If not, will u make one?
yeah, if we run across damage like that
A friend hit his garage door post and pushed it out. I got a 2x4 and put it against his Tahoe bumper and had him back up. Ta da!! Like nothing ever happened.
Brilliant!
I should add for best results, one should use a D.O.T. GRADE 70.00 chain wrapped around a shifted frame rail or metal core support and have it hooked to the hook of the come-along. Frame shops and body shops always use grade seventy chains with their frame machines and frame racks for easier pulls and better grabs. Is that chain u have a grade seventy one?
Sure
@@MortskeRepairbest answer
Volkswagen like impalas and caprices from 60s and seventies and eighties didn't change either here's this black Herbie boy here Herbie the black love bug of 1938
used to do the same thing........minus the tree, the board, and the come along. we'd pin the bed of a rollback against the frame and use the winch to pull
Well not everyone has a rollback Brian! Thanks for watching!
@@MortskeRepair I don't either anymore. I have used a chain and another vehicle. Whatever it takes to get it done, as long as you have fun
@@brianfairchild7819 I have a tilt bet trailer with a winch. And a skidsteer. That's what I usually use! But I figured I'd show how anybody with a tree and a come-a-long could do it!
@@MortskeRepair and you did it very well. easy on that black walnut tree though, itll be worth good money in lumber someday
Интересный кузовной ремонт 😀 Сколько стоит такая машина ?
It's very affordable! Just bring some adult beverages over from Russia and I'll fix your car right up! Thanks for watching!
What if you dont have any big trees around what else can you use?
Go to the park!
Maybe cover the hooks of the come along with something for safety. But Great job!
Hope you like this videos of those cars and Chrysler one too it's on sale just 99 dollars 98 for shipping like that old Impala from 1963 you got just for dollar this thing could have cost more one stupid thing.
Poor deer 🦌😞 did he make it ?
Been there done that
Sometimes you just gotta work with what you got! Thanks for watching Raymond!
An old railroad trackto do frameworks the best get the to frames chain it down I'll man I've used it several times to straighten cars out
Where does one acquire a set of those?
Metal scrap that's where I got the last set that I used to have
They're all over coffeyville KS
Oh that's a Chevy i though by headlights and front looked crownvicish
I was counting.
How many did it take?!?
They even look like 90s caprices can't almost tell them apart like 30s Volkswagen from 60s and 70s
It's a good thing that 2x4 didn't kick out and break your leg 🍗
Good thing the camera would have caught it.
Here's the original Herbie identical to 60s seventies model like sharks they changed very little body fenders top stayed the same split piece window Jetson like tail lights except holders d shaped stayed same as sixties and turn signals on top of front fender same and headlights too maybe very little wider but still identical in general
We can forgive you for the quality of your sound, but that was Duff's favorite Pee tree for the reasons you mentioned it's not surrounded by stuff. I was disappointed that you didn't have more useless information on the come along I was seeking, like how did the guy who invented it name it a come along when it's a ratcheting winch?
Hilarious! I did something similar with Gramma's 64 Pontiac Catalina 4 door after being sideswiped: wrapped the trusty chain around an Oak tree and the B pillar, and used the 389 as the power source; pulled the post back good enough to hang 2 new junkyard doors. Sold it to the guy that hit it and 2 months later the frame split when he went ver some railroad tracks. Salt and Michigan are not good to cars.....
It's not dumb if it works!!
you should've shown us in close up the damage so we can more appreciate what you were doing
How did you get the hood latch to line up
it all pulled into place
Lost history there are coverup 1938 bugs here in america rusting away at the rusted restore rescue project almost like junk yard but sit there auctioned to be rescued
Two 2x4’’s make a four by four. If you want to be really cheap. lol
I'm not rich!! haha
What's that it looks like a crown Vic ones police used to use by front end and shape 9f it they cool cars next to that emperial pointer ultra seven cars impalas and caprices
TOP 🎱🤙🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks Jose!
$500 work? I wish you could fix my car😭
I was scared you were gonna shred the 2x4 all over your shin.
That would suck!
It is like looking at the hippie car these are from 1938 1940 and up no difference only couple things
If he put it in a insurance claim on that the insurance company would have to pay out a lot or just total the car so you saved a good car from the junk yArd
Keep em on the road!
Whats the name of the tool he used ?
What tool?
@@MortskeRepair its a cable winch right ?
@@uhLazar We call them a "Come-a-long" here I guess. Not sure what the proper name is however.
Well there are too me like differences but very little like Volkswagen from thirties to 60s and seventies tail light shapes are identical but Impala has white in middle of tail light but still same shape and three on each side same with seventies ones and mid eighties and came back in 90s Impala after last 1985 one stopped for a while but came back and look identical but with very little differences it not lot of it it's like 1930s Volkswagen very little couple differences almost can't tell them apart but very little you can there are little differences but mostly identical like Volkswagen
Trees....Is there anything they can’t do?!
they never hug back...
A real professional doesn't REALLY count how many clicks... They don't even need to count the number of UggaDuggas to hit the corrrect torque spec with his air impact... All you need for this is your trusty old Mark1 Eyechrometer when straightening tin.
Ha!
that car was totalled out before you fixed it
Yes it was!
I'm about to be charged $8k to fix my car
One stupid thing they did is extremely hybrid it like crossing fish with rock mixing old American old engine parts with Japanese parts don't mix i wonder it clunks out once in a while they did stupid thing like that man maybe if you buy it have old parts 3d printed and make it compatible for weight to pull car and running right it isn't because it's have they mutated it by adding Japanese auto part it don't mix like adding rock DNA to a fish
Whole documentary an hour long that's what I was really looking for here it is not different not fraternal twin car just one care that hardly evolved but couple of little things did Impala caprices evolve to mostly look alike they do but very little couple differences you almost could tell juts very little differences i don't know if Impala was the original Caprice but had different name but in mid sixties branched out some of it and evolved some things and called it after that new name Caprice or made at same time i didn't see it was i tried to look up 61 60 Caprice I'm beginning to think original Caprice was an Impala then names might have changed and branched just some of those cars our while rest stayed Impala
Obvious i might be right might have branched the both off if you look at thise ram horn mandibles they must of changed some impalas in to name caprices and built them separately after but still fraternal twin ancestor cars that evolved similarly but Impala might be the original Caprice beforee the name Caprice came in mid sixties and seventies yes could be right and eighties and 90s back lights straight like 80s Caprice taillights and impalas early sixties looks like cross between both of them but mostly almost Impala but not round just shape of bumper does
Tied to the tree and throw it in reverse
It's hard to control that!
Mortske’s claims adjuster should sue the insurance company of the deer that caused the damage . I’m sure it was hit and run so the deer is at fault on two counts . If the deer is lucky , it’s no fault insurance will pay for damages and repairs . If not , the cars owner owns that deer ! Deer are reckless by nature so the deer is liable and accountable on its part . Perhaps I’m taking this a bit too far but there has to be accountability I mean these deer think they have right of way at all times . The owner has this deer by the jewels for loss of earnings , unable to enjoy the fruits of life , unable to carry on a meaningful relationship , the whole nine !
No, Chevys
Get a room Duff
Terrible dog...
What no deer DNA, no blood and guts, I'd say this driver has plausible deniability. It should at least be claimed as an oversized whiskey dent
