Repaired Body Carnage, what do you think?

[04 Rocko Taco]

I dont think I'll get so involved as bondo and stuff, I just wanted the door to open right. So, Im gonna pound on the dent a little more and see what that gets me.

GIANT rocks at Tellico.

Box Truck on I-20. Cop wrote it up as a "no fault" accident.

You really should have consulted Fuster first, he would have showed you the "quick budget fix". First, you buy a new door, cut it and your current door into thirds, graft them together to form one un-dented door, then apply body filler in multiple thin layers, being sure to sand each square inch a minimum of 400 times, in between coats of primer. Then wet sand and prime the rest of your truck to match and apply 30 coats of paint to the entire body. Then you are done and your door looks "decent".

ohhhhhhh, BURN!!!!!!!

i think its looks good chris, much better than before.

im seriously more interested in the home made tools. its nearly impossible to find alot of the older style tools for body work, because everything (besides these kinds of repairs) are done by machine. half the time doors dont even get repaired, they just get replaced, because the origionals no longer fit like in your case.

does anyone know anyone who does lead on a car anymore?

Looks way better!

There is a guy here in Douglasville, Ga.
Danny - he still does leading. he also does all sorts of paintless dent repair, and some seriously sick custom body work!! He is the one who was teaching at the time I went to paint and Body school.

Sean, I think you are going to be very dissapointed when you see these tools. Nothing compared to a real set of Body tools, just some cut up 2X4's. but i'll get you the pics this evening, just want you to be prepared. lol.

[Seanz0rz]

well chris, ive come to expect nothing from you. so anything will be an improvement. . .



all screwing around aside, its nice to see someone make their own tools, even if its just a piece of wood. i remember helping my dad make a tool to get a pulley or something off the front of the 3vze for the timing belt. i was like 8 maybe? dont remember what it was, all i know is we still have that tool sitting in the garage.

*wipes away tears* Don't forget to take it out on the trails after all that 'sweat equity' and give it a little 'character'....hehehe.
