I’ve been in the collision industry for 38 years. Straightening panels has become so much more difficult throughout the years. The thinner the metal they use the harder it is to work. Much easier to pull but harder to sand filler flat because the slightest pressure moves the metal. Back in the day it was more difficult to work the metal but sanding filler work was much easier because the metal didn’t flex with pressure and there were more body lines and convexed or rolls in the panels. Today’s vehicles the metal is so thin and flat panels like to bounce.

it's always nice watching a skilled craftsman work. i watched with no sound and it was great.

[NievesBenavides-mu]

Your work is amazing, I've never done bodywork but now I will pickup on your work, my props sir...

[PhillipHall]

Good. Idea! I like the idea of your dustless blocks and sanding paper. I’m going to check them out. Thanks,
Phillip Hall

I wouldn't have the patience for all that. I'm glad someone does

[randyhoepker]

Nice tips for a DIYr like me. I just went through my first gallon of U-pol Professional filler which sells for $37 at O’Reilly. It’s one step up from their base filler. I used to use Evercoat, but it’s now twice as much as U-pol. I really like the U-pol versus Evercoat and 3M Bondo brand. You don’t have to stir it up to mix the resin when you first open it up! It’s smooth and easy to spread and apply. I get a minimum amount of pin holes in it. It easy to sand. No reason to ever use another brand or pay more to get a “better” product imo. Great for my needs. Thought I would say that since you compared the USC brand filler to U-pol. I agree with you.

Have done some bodywork and was extremely hard, but with your advise it'll be a lot easier for us poor mortals. Excellent explanations by the way.

Amazing tutorial Chris, it's very interesting to see how you pull out the dents in the door you could actually see the dent coming out when you pulled on it while nocking down the crown. As I've mentioned before body filler is my weak point as I always take of to much then I find it difficult to get the shape back in the panel.
Thanks for sharing your skills with us🙏👍John UK

Very helpful video, I am learning loads of tips and tricks .
Thank you

[davepeeters]

Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to ezplain everything. Is there a way to thin the duraglas and what product would you recommend for this?

[mistermystery]

I did my first dent removal/body filler yesterday its so thin magnets still stick but theg crease is gone

[vincelaguno]

Hey Chris. Great job but have you ever tried the glue tabs they make for paintless dent repairs. There are several guys on you tube channel that show them fixing dents that are worse than the one you fixed. I was working in body shops where we drilled 1/8" holes to screw in the slide hammer + pull rods to the same type of repair you did. How times have changed. Thanks again Vince.

[richarcruz]

We are th ones that appreciate u Chriss God Bless🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[vitaliyamanda]

did you guys repint that whole side?why you didnt mask of that off door side before sanding?

[dmalott]

Hey Chris, I see you use many different fillers on your channel (3M, U-Pol, Roberlo, etc.) and was wondering which you prefer working with, which you recommend or why you use specific fillers on certain projects. Mostly I am doing repairs, but I also have a full restoration project in the works and would like to get your input. Love the channel and can't get enough of the knowledge you share with us DIY guys. Would love to see a video on filler brand comparisons in the future also to show why one is better than the others.

[gladememmott]

You Sir are a folking professional!!! They way you worked that door before the filler was awesome 😎👍👍 ot was almost straight as a arrow!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[darienretuyan]

[johnochicago]

When you spray lacquer pain, what pressure do you set the spray on... It used to be 42lbs has that changed?

[bryanst.martin]

Have a recommendation for a sprung door? Looks like someone went overboard with a bag to gain access to the interior door lock.

[vman]

Is my first time doing body work with Bondo and it's cracking and also has pin holes what should I do sand it out and start over?
