✅Rebuilding this Totaled SUV with a Laser Like Precision

In this video I will demonstrate the use of the laser to get all of the replacement panels on this totaled Mazda CX-5 to line up just as they were before the accident. Most people don't know that you can use just about any self leveling laser to measure out the damage on the vehicle down to a millimeter. It's actually really simple and in this video I'll show you how I do it. This technic can be used to line up suspension, frame and and just about any panel on any car, truck or an SUV. Knowing this is a must for anyone that wants to learn auto body.

Man this guy is ingenious, i would love to learn these things since i live to work with my hands.

@fix206 5 месяцев назад

I love sharing things I've learned over the years with you guys, taking the mystery out of framework and other aspects of body work is why I do these videos :-)

@BrucePierson 5 месяцев назад

This wreck is starting to look like a car again. What a difference to when you first started. It looked way worse at the start than it actually was once you got into it. When you were describing how you were removing the damaged panels, I knew you would be using a spot welder for reassembly. Looking forward to the final video and seeing the car all finished.

@fix206 5 месяцев назад

Drilling the old panels out was probably my least favorite part of the whole process. But with the old panels out of the way all the new stuff went on and lined up pretty quickly. And it took less than 15 minutes to get everything welded in with the spot welder. Now, if I used the mig welder to get everything welded in, then afterwards I would have to spend at least an hour or more on leveling all of the welds down with a grinder. I had to do none of that when I use the spot welder, it is a big time saver !!!

@usman_oz 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the informative video. One question I have is how do you ascertain that undamaged strut tower off which you are baselining your vertical alignment has also not moved. What I mean is that both the strut towers for example might have moved down with UNdamaged one moving down 4 mm therefore, how do you confirm that ? How would you baseline ? Thanks again

@fix206 5 месяцев назад

It takes quite a bit of force to move a strut tower over, therefore I can say with 100% certainty that the strut tower on the undamaged side did not move any at all...

@diesel34167 5 месяцев назад

Greetings from Poland. In the USA, damaged cars are cheap and we buy them from the East (Poland, Ukraine, Gruza etc) and repair them. Even though we have to pay at least USD 4,000 for cargo, VAT, shipping, etc., after the repair we still earn about 20%. You probably have a larger one, although an hour of work by a bodyworker or painter in Poland is only about -40 USD

Oh I know your love of the old... Right now I'm trying to concentrate on personal vehicles or the stuff that makes money, I started out on the five window Chevy not realizing how much time it's going to take to get it done and that rebuild sure isn't going to pay the bills, so far it has been put on a back burner for a while... Hopefully I'll get to it one of these days :-)

Hey I love you job. Unfortunately I had an accident and my car is totalled. It is a 2003 Celica GTS. I am planning to fix it as the insurance covers some costs. It has bend frame rails. Where can I get the schematics for a front end collision ? Do I have to buy it ? I want to give em to my mechanic and possible show him you repair video. I hope he does not get insulted. I might have to buy a laser as I think he does not have. I live in a poor country :(

@fix206 5 месяцев назад

I always start by googling the chassis dimensions... Sometimes you get lucky and find them online for free... Other times you have to buy them, there are websites that sell dimensions for just about any vehicle

@Andrey-iz1cu 5 месяцев назад

Hey there, I was wondering, where do you get the measurements for cars? In your previous (Mazda) videos I’ve seen you have complete measurements of frame rail distance and so on. I’ve looked around and haven’t been able to find any info anywhere. Would you be able to help me with that?

@Recklessness97 5 месяцев назад

He has access to official OEM repair documentation from his job through Mitchell estimation software. There's plenty of software out there that does the same thing, another one I can think of off the top of my head is ALLDATA. These software programs are not cheap and are intended for repair shops but you can purchase a monthly or yearly license for about $20 a month or $60 a year for ALLDATA DIY edition or $2,748.00 a year for ALLDATA PRO edition. You may get lucky searching the internet but I wouldn't count on it. You can try to friend someone who works in a shop and prints out/screen captures the info you need.

А где вы берете краску для машины ? Если заказать по color коду то часто бывает color mismatch с оригинальным цветом, но может есть качественные производители краски (а не дешевые которые я наверно брал), или надо идти в шопы которые смешивают цвета чтобы подобрать нужный оттенок на основе образца от машины ? Спасибо

@fix206 5 месяцев назад

В моём районе есть пару магазинов которые специализируются только по краски для машин. Один магазин намного дороже другого, в основном продают краску PPG и DuPont... Так что к ним я заглядываю очень редко, другой магазин продает краску Matrix и PerfectCoat. Раньше Matrix был дешевле, сейчас почему-то подорожал, но последних года 3-4 я покупаю эксклюзивно PerfectCoat. Краска китайская, но качественная. Перекрывает цвет очень хорошо почти на первом проходе, второй проход перекрывает все на 100%. Я в основном привожу им какой-то из элементов с битой машины и даю им код краски. По коду подбирается цвет и потом они догоняют этот цвет под цвет одного из элементов где-то на 98%... А там уже переход дорабатывает свое дело
