Can You Fix A Dent Without Bondo? DIY Metal Finishing With Basic Hand Tools

In todays video we will be attempting to repair some dents in my 1936 Chevy Truck fender. I will be repairing these dents the old school way using hand tools. The tools and techniques in this video were commonly used by bodyshops, auto manufacturers and coachbuilders prior to bondo being invented. These methods are still relevant today and with a little practice dents can be repaired in the same amount of time or even faster than a bondo repair. In this scenario the repair was a little more tedious due to 1930's Chevy metal being of inferior quality, but we were able to struggle through and achieve a mediocre repair.

I love watching your old school approach. It takes skill, but is ultimately a much more quality repair. Thank you for the video. Post what you want, when you want. Screw youtube. We'll continue to watch you.

Thanks Heather! Unfortunately if I don't post videos regularly RU-vid makes it nearly impossible to grow the channel. At the end of the day it's a problem that I've created for myself, if I cared about being successful I'd just quit working on old cars and making videos and go back to fixing dinged up new cars...but that would be boring haha

I love watching you work. I'm 70 now, and grew up watching my dad do the same. He was a body and fender man in the early 50s until the late 60s. Did it just like that, and if it needed any filler, it was lead. I was too young and dumb to learn his trade and have kicked myself many times over the years about that. Keep it up!

@briankarnowski5614 2 года назад

Once again, well done. I learned metal work in the late 60's, early 70's. Still learning. My school, we started on wrecked cars from the junkyard, learned to strip mechanical parts out, and then how to finish out damage without any filler. Interesting to hear that eons later, you were taught similarly. Thought it wasn't taught much anymore. Most trade schools now teach panel replacement, not much emphasis on repair, with any sort it's more of bash it out and mud it. Nice to see it's not dead yet. But then, I'm a fossil, prefer the old ways. Acrylic lacquer over urethane, even though the later is more durable, to me it looks more synthetic. Lacquer less toxic to spray than isocyante hardeners. Sorry to ramble on, I'll just put on another old blues album on my turntable and drift off to the dreams of an old dude!

@briankarnowski5614 2 года назад

Just curious, how long did it take to work that out to that point?

@CarterAutoRestyling 2 года назад

Thanks Brian! The trade schools here still teach how to repair vehicles, you have to fix a rollover that passes a safety inspection in order to get certified in the trade. As for the length of the repair, the video took longer to make than the repair took.

First I really enjoy your show, it helps me a lot. Just so you know, in Pasadena Ca. Ken Sakamoto teaches metal finishing using only hammers Dollie’s slapper and shrinking disc. No pick or file. I took his 4 day class. He is very good and a very friendly likable guy and a good teacher. You stay until you learn. ( after I took his class)I did a visor for a 53 Chevy that wad dented from end to end . I was struggling and called Ken and after numerous phone conversations I ended up taking it to him and he watched me and showed me what I was doing wrong. After that it went smooth and I delivered it in bare metal. Anyways I look forward to your videos, unfortunately my wife doesn’t and doesn’t seem to understand why I have the volume up to hear hammering .

Kyle, I think you might get bored of fender repair. I never do. I watch your videos eagerly. Thanks for all of the details !! The bullseye pick is something I'd like to try and make since I took up welding again. Just doing structural repairs, not body work. But I will at some point be working on 22 ga metal. I practice on it when I can. I have that same file from lead work I did decades ago. Now you've shown me another use for it ! I may have to buy an old truck to practice on. Thanks so much for all of your hard work !!

@keithlalonde4308 2 года назад

the welded sheet metal blanks that you referred to on the truck are called developed blanks in a modern stamping plant. today auto manufacturers use them in the production of apertures ie the a and b pillars are made of a thicker metal than the adjoining rear quarter. the stamping plant I worked stamped the ford Expedition in a 6 press tandum line. the panel is 14 ft long from tailight to a pillar.

@CarterAutoRestyling 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. I remember learning about tailor welded blanks and tailor rolled blanks in school. They join different thicknesses or grades of steel together so the vehicle will absorb impacts better in a collision

@keithlalonde4308 2 года назад

That's right I spent 40 years working in the stamping industry mostly building and desining automation. Before that I worked in the oilfield building oilfield equipment.

@kennycarter8179 2 года назад

Another informative high quality repair! Long ago when I was young using bondo rather than taking the time to metal finish repairs was frowned upon big time! I can recall seeing a brand new dodge K car in the 80's sitting on the showroom floor that clearly had bondo and not straight all down the drivers side. Personally I am very proud to see the excellent level of metal finishing you do! Keep up the good work thanks for sharing!! I kinda feel those that attack using a vixen file have no clue!

Pebble Beach: I learned in a high line European environment. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and an occasional Ferrari. All my work was what you refer to as 'Pebble Beach' quality. Laser straight, pure artistic perfection. From watching you, I think you sell yourself short a little. You could easily make one more pass with the file and a set of "Baby hammers" (also known as finishing hammers, or jewelers hammers) and your metal work would be right there. You can check it by using a sharpening stone (like for a pocket knife), and run that over your work. Use it the same way you use the file. It will show highs and lows that your file won't. Also, you can spray rubbing alcohol on to shine the surface up. It evaporates much quicker than the wax and grease remover. It's easier to work with while you are still "in Process"

Make a board with black and white lines about an inch wide on it look at its reflection in the panel and you will see the imperfections

@CarterAutoRestyling 2 года назад

We had to use those when estimating damage on late model vehicles, personally I don't like using one.

Excellent presentation. Showing how to work a body back to original shows that it can be done if one invests the work and patience. I have watched you work magic with the bullseye pick in other videos so walking through how to do that was appreciated. The explanation on the vixen file and sanding processes was also a solid take away. For an ad hoc video to make RU-vid happy it all turned into a great lesson. Thank you for sharing.

keep those videos coming channel is growing pretty fast i know video are a lot of work

@joepacheco4038 2 года назад

I watch a few utube metal " repair " channel's and consider yours right up there at the top. Bondo and lead fillers have there place in metal repairs but it's what's beneath that counts. Great video Kyle one question which way should file be orientated in holder? (Cutting on push or pull ) just a foolish question

@CarterAutoRestyling 2 года назад

Thanks Joe. I like to cut on the push, but others prefer to have it on the pull. I guess it's up to personal preference

@CarterAutoRestyling 2 года назад

Oh the cats stay in the house safely away from any scary noises (other than the vacuum cleaner)
