Auto Body Training Solutions

Auto Body Training Solutions

My goal is to bring you informational "how-to" videos with over 40 years of experience to help you become a better auto body technician. These videos will be similar to a classroom experience as well as hands on demonstrations. These will be geared towards collision repair technicians to help them become more proficient.

We'll break down repair techniques and procedures and show you what works and what doesn't work; we'll also explain why these techniques are used.

    Thanks for your content. You can the free youtube music that youtube has in the studio. lol, but the birds do a very nice feel to your video. I am currently the debating process in my car project. After the trim paint, will we still be able to use trim dressing on top of it for shine?

    I never thought of that . If the paint is fully cured it may be ok but I would try it on a spot that really doesn’t show just in case it damages the paint. Thanks for watching

    Thank you for the info I would always tie the post the way you say not to and I know that feeling of it just not feeling right and it never crossed my mind to just tie down with two separate chains . So next time I am going to try it this way so thanks you just might have saved my life . I have already broken 2 pot chains and they seem unpredictable when they break in this way even when weighted with a blanket

    Thanks for the explanation. What brand fender is that? I bought a pair for my '70 from AMD, the drivers side fit perfect, you would almost swear it was OEM. The passenger side is a different story. I was never able to get that bolt behind the door in even after I hogged out the hole and the gap is still not to where I like it.

    Hello. Nice work as always. What is the red tool to hold the door open? Do you think this work needs a fiberglass filler before regular bodyfiller? And have a nice day !

  • @autobodytrainingsolutions838
    @autobodytrainingsolutions8386 күн бұрын

    The tool was an old hood prop rod. The panel didn’t need fiberglass filler as the damage area where I welded the patch was minimal. Most of it would’ve been ground off before bondo anyway. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend Petar
