Thank you for posting this vid Marty! Again, I learned something new to help become a better and faster PDR tech. (By faster, I just mean getting positve results quickly in a controlled manner) 👍👍
I truly like and enjoy learning from your videos; I have question regarding oil panning; I bought a 1970 chevy c10 pick up truck and the hood has a very serious oil panning issue; it practically flaps when driving; is there any way to repair this hood without replacing it?? I sure hope you can give me some advice and direction !! thank you I,ll keep watching and learning"!! 75 years young !! Patrick.P
Without seeing the damage it's really hard to give advice. A power Box or sharp tip tools are generally used for this. Try to find a PDR tech in your area and show him.
I wish I could see exactly where the tip is. Next time could you show where the tip is with a pointer or something? To my untrained eye I just saw the whole thing magically rising up. So your technique, which obviously works, is still a mystery to me. Amazing work.
You can't get the detail captured on film as the reflection light has to be really dulled down to see even that much. It's much more detailed in real life if you have the right reflection.
I may do some videos on working aluminum in the future. It needs to be worked very differently than steel. But it really needs to be shown live and hands on, to really learn to work it effectively.
Another excellent video.Thank you so much for these. Can you do a video on how to eliminate the crown legs that a new tech like me (3.5 months) keeps leaving? I tap the crowns down as you've instructed in previous vids, but the "legs", or buckles as I believe you call them, that extended downward from the crown apex are still present as highs, and impossible for me to tap down or push the low areas up. Thank you, Jason
I'd have to see what your doing Jason, or at least a pic of the damage. It could be so many things. You may be doing too large a dent and need to use tension. Start out with very low angle crowns and eventually go to something like a 90 degree crown. Low angle crowns never leave legs if you do what I show in my video on crown removal where I demonstrate a repair.
