Great work Jerry! I have seen many straightening jobs in real life over the 24 years I did subcontracting work with about 20 body shops. Always nice seeing it done right. I am not sure I would have the patients to do that as a living! Obviously a skill to it.

The clamp on the rocker panel pinch weld should never slip off. If it does, it's because the nuts were not tightened down enough or the pinch weld clamp is not a quality clamp. That being said, you can run the chain around the dozer post (around the back) and pull it that way but it does help to have the pulley. Let me know if you have more ?s - Jerry

I actually need a chain binder to keep pressure on the chain to hold the hook in place. The winch was there just to put tension on the hook to hold it there - not a perfect set up. With a traditional frame machine - pull pots or drive on frame rack the pulling from the other side would keep that chain tight. Hope that makes a bit of sense - have a great weekend Petar :)

I suppose if the computer was very close to where you are using the hammer, you may want to remove it :)

@LakesideAutobody
Жыл бұрын
Aside from the different ways to anchor the vehicle - the principles are similar. I like pulling unibody frames actually - clamp them down with the pinch welds and start pulling. If a pull fails or something is not working then you just have to try something else. Even though sometimes you think you're not going to be able to fix it - with enough thinking and work, it always works out. You'll break some stuff along the way but that's par for the course as they say 😊

My car that I'm getting ready to paint, has tight gaps at the bottom between the door and fender, and wide gaps at the top. I've seen a few Neons with the same issue, and suspect it's because they were jacked up in the wrong spot. (The pinch weld is also folded over in a few spots). I saw this video and was wondering if a setup like yours could fix something like that. More than likely, I'm just going to cut the bottom of the fender and open the gap up, and add some welding rod to the edge to close it up at the top....But I'd be curious how something like that would be fixed. It seems if you pulled back and up (from the front of the car) you'd have to pull the support box down at the same time.
@LakesideAutobody
Жыл бұрын
You can add shims to the front of the fender to close that gap. You have to raise the hood bumpers and latch to match the hood to the fenders. That's one way. Another way is to close the gap on top and just force that bottom gap open while tightening the bolts at the bottom - even bending the fender or forcing that gap open on the bottom works. Let me know what solves the problem for you :)
@jayinmi3706
Жыл бұрын
@@LakesideAutobody I thought about that. But it's probably 1/8" or less (the door doesn't rub...but it's CLOSE) at the bottom and about 3/8 at the top. I feel like if I shim the front of the fender enough to get the bottom gap right, the fender won't line up with the headlights/front bumper quite right. A little at the back would equate to a LOT at the front. And I worried that if I tried to just force it at the bottom, it would twist the bottom of the fender. I think I'm going to drill some holes in a few spots and use clecos to locate it...then I have a reference to try different things, and I can go back to cutting a slit vertically at the bottom and adding material if neither of those options work.

If your hook ups are strong enough, ya, don't heat it. High carbon steel doesn't like it.Loosen up the cradle bolts before pulling. There is some slack from the factory in the cradle. Remove the hood latch so you can see better how the hood lines up without running back to release the hood that can have a bent catch anyways.

Frame time is expensive and depends on the body shop that you go to. Frame time is right around $75/hr. I restore or fix up my own clean title repairable vehicles or do rust repair on cars that I flip so I can't really give you an accurate picture of today's cost :)
Heating knks in frame rails is not permitted nowadays as it is not longer "safe" to do so. My 30 y/o MR2 is ALL mild steel, so you can heat it and beat it, no problem, but OEMs, pressured to meet higher and higher fuel economy standards utilize stronger and lighter High Strength Steel (HSS) and Ultra HSS (UHSS) in order to lose weight and still maintain the strength of the chassis. These alloys of steel are cured and formed using heat, vacuum & pressure under very controlled conditions to reach their maximum strength. Bodyshops have software to look up every OEM car on the road which specifies which portions of the car are made from which type of steel alloy. When you work it, you notice iHSS & UHSS doesn't yield like mild steel, not as malleable or pliable, much more brittle in the way it fails - cracks, tears, sharp kinks. Heating it with a torch and pulling it straight takes a lot of the strength out of it. How much? I don't know; I'm neither a metallurgist nor an engineer. This is the main reason why modern cars that appear to have minor "fender bender" damage are written off as totalled. The proper fix when dealing with HSS or UHSS that is kinked is to use the damaged portion while pulling to get the adjacent panels as straight as possible and then cut out and replace the entire damaged member at a mfr approved location utilizing a mfr. approved method - like back at the firewall, if at all. Heating and straightening a modern chassis rail is no longer considered a proper repair. A kinked UHSS member should never be put back in service; OEMs vary on what can or can't be done with tweaked HSS. The concern is that member will never have the same strength as when it was first built. For the motoring public, this is progress - lighter, stronger, etc.., but for the shadetree and project car guys, the price of that progress is that it makes any damage beyond the front crash bar a bit of a deal breaker.
@LakesideAutobody
Жыл бұрын
You make some very good points - thanks for the input. All the OEMs have a guide to what type of metal/frames you can heat and straighten. It's so confusing though that most probably don't follow it. I'm sure a lot of straightening is going on in shops across the nation. I also think the OEMs are covering themselves a bit too. They should really make some type of rules that guide all body shops on this topic because some I'm sure are straightening and some are not.

If it happened because the door was opened to far, you might be able to use the door itself to fix it by putting a block of wood in the hinge like a nut cracker and close the door on it. There's all kinds of ways to go at it but generally you have to pull it. You can use a come along too if you don't have any other way to pull it. A tree and a come along can work real well :)

I think within the next two weeks will be to paint my car after my parents get done with garage sale. Am waiting on God to give me the ordain place he wants me to live at. Place recently called me yesterday about a house but not just looking for any house want to be living what God wants me to live. A reality company called me this week I did look at apartments and apply to one though but none called me back. Then this week got a call from the reality company. They were trying to get me more in the process of buying a house but I know will know when the ordain house from God will come because I prayed on it already. But once I get the house I wanna quit my job to work for God's kingdom and do what he wants me to do and that will show God I am really relying on him because I will have left the job am doing now. I know my dad won't like me doing it this way but he is realizing now even though am in 43 that he is letting me make my own decisions. Which I have to live my own life and do what God wants me to do not my family, relatives, friends and parents. In the end God and Jesus the ones that did everything in my life and I have to go through Jesus to get heaven one day. Plus am gonna have to account for what I did for Jesus and God one day and I don't wanna live the rest of my life and had did nothing for God's kingdom. I know I have to make smart choices in life though which in the past honestly did make the wrong choices. This guy I watched on KZread that I believe tells the truth named Tireo but he has a real relationship with Jesus and he can hear God voice for himself watching his videos have given me a new outlook in life on what I have to do for my life and think.

In life you need a job and a place to live. What if you just made the choice yourself on your job and your house THEN let God guide you. For example: If you fail utterly at work and it's just a complete disaster that could be God saying, "Time to move on guy." or if you move into a house and you find out that you are miserable there, that could be God saying, "Time to move my friend." Paul the Apostle was a tent maker for example (not sure if he liked that job) but he earned money by making tents, in order to support himself in his real ministry to Christ. That can be a model to live your life by and let God guide you along the way.
Good job
