Wow that’s 18 k after materials …. Jerry did this jo within 2 days …. Lol…. But I get it , it’s a testament to how proficient and good this dude is at grid Craft 👍🏻

So as they saying goes, your trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents...The engine & transmission alone would be worth that. Inch if it’s done no more than 90K miles... Then the breaker yard will get $200 per car body in scrap metal alone.. Good luck in buying a $500 clunker, and the finding a suck to believe it’s worth $20K in a "repaired" ( but with salvage title) state...

Yeah you can tell this isn't his first rides. This guy I's good.

You're welcome - glad you enjoyed it - have a good week :)

Thanks MH. My old boss would always ask "Can you fix it?" - the guy just wants to drive it - doesn't need it to be perfect. I suppose he saved them some money 'cause at that time I was making around 8/hour😅

Thanks - I'm looking forward to painting it too - I like that color and it'll look real nice with a good clear coat. Thinking of painting the hood satin or hot rod black - it's got the GT hood scoop. Might look cool like that.

Thanks Eddie and thanks for your input - you're right on 👍

I appreciate the comment - very nice of you. I usually get some negative stuff from techs but there wouldn't be a video if I didn't repair it. I worked out in the sticks (first job) and the boss was always trying to save folks money. He'd ask if I could fix it - I guess I enjoyed the challenge and would say, "I think so." It would always work out - guess you can't break what's already broken. Thanks again Jake - Jerry

Thanks. Stay tuned - I'll be uploading the finished paint job next week - I think you'll really like how it turned out :)

Thanks Hot Rod - glad you enjoyed it - have a good weekend :)

I appreciate that Jeff. I was a bit weak with the hammer 'cause I fell on the ice that year - messed up my shoulder for about 6 months. Thought there was something seriously wrong with it but it eventually got better - thanks for watching 😊

I have had similar issues…. Had serious weakness in my right arm that lasted for 6 months. Then hyperextended my left arm badly to the point where I thought maybe had splintered some bone but yes eventually got better with just some occasional pain. I lift some weights now and hit the heavy bag while I exercise and that seems to have really taken my recovery to the next level.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. It does take a bit of patience but that car was worth saving - loudest factory stereo I've ever heard in my life. It's called a Ford Mach Audio System - just in case your into that stuff.

Thanks Fourk. I appreciate your support my friend :)

Thanks so much SFC - I appreciate your comment. Have a good week :)

Give it a try :)

I would have oved to be there for that :)

@@LakesideAutobody it really was amazing , all the windows never broke except for wind shield . The pillars straightened back out and I shrunk the metal with a work out flap disc lol

@@lawncuttingplusdelta 👍🔥🛠😊

You're welcome. With some good pulling pressure and/or pushing pressure, you just find those points that's holding the panel back. Give them a little encouragement - tap, tap, - and you'll see everything start to move - Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks Boss - I'm glad you appreciate the work. Thanks for the support :)

Thanks 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you made it all the way through. It was quite long but I couldn't cut anything really. Have a great week.

Thanks - I glad you enjoyed it - have a good week.

You're right - I'm glad you appreciate the video. BTW had to look up what it means to have something in spades. Very cool - going to start using that term :) Like this guy from Montana I knew said, "Boy, that road we came in on was 'rougher 'an a cobb'." Good stuff!

Thanks a lot - I'm glad you appreciate the work. I was lucky to work with some of pretty talented old fellas when I was young. Thanks again for the support :)

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the video. I'll keep them coming for sure. Have a great week.

Thanks for the support Mark - feel free to ask questions - I usually answer 1-2 times a day. Thank you for watching and glad you liked the video.

Thanks. That means a lot coming from a guy with your background. I figured I'd have all kinds of negative comments from guys saying ICAR this and ICAR that. Thanks again and you're welcome. Jerry

It has nothing to do with icar this icar that when that car is been up that bad it gets in another collision it's going to fold up like a pop can that's the reason it was totaled out that's not the way it would have been repaired and you're right it probably did Total out that's why they call them builders not correctly repaired cars well it looks good when you're done or not that doesn't mean it's done right you should just tell people that not leading them on to believe that that's the correct way to do it it's all I'm saying

@@jondoe9753 ever heard of a comma or period? You don't seem like the kind of guy one should be acquiring knowledge from. Shut up.

hOw sAtiSfYiNg?

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a good week :)

Thanks for the kind words Paul - have a good week my friend :)

Thanks 👍 Glad you thought it was impossible. Just have take your time, be patient and don't quit on it.

Thank you Geoffrey. That's nice of you to say - have a good weekend :)

Time.

Thank you so much - I appreciate that. I'm glad you like the video. Feel free to ask questions - I answer comments 1-2 times a day - Jerry

Thanks Ali, I appreciate the support. Have a good weekend my friend :)

You're welcome - it's a bit long but I figured some would want to see the whole thing - glad you appreciate it my friend :)

You're welcome Wanders - I'm glad you appreciate them :)

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it - have a good weekend :)

Absolutely not true at all. Been driving total loss clean title vehicles and rebuilt title vehicles my whole life. It's way safer than driving a 1/2 rusted car which I see a ton of here in Michigan. What's better a car with solid rockers like this or a car with rusted out rockers, floor, brake lines, body mounts, etc ? Much rather drive a new rebuilt title car than an old rust bucket - way way safer by a long shot. You can't argue that - no way. If you really have done body work for as long as you say you would know that nothing holds up in a serious accident - especially todays fenders, plastic bumper covers, crush zones, etc. The quarter panel is 22 gauge metal (.030") - 6 human hairs thick. I don't care what shape it is stamped into at the factory, it's going to be completely crushed like tin foil in an accident. The only thing that is safe is actually driving safe - that's truth :)

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Had to be real careful with my hammer arm - I fell on the ice that year - very difficult to swing the hammer hard but maybe it helped in some way :)

I appreciate that Lantz - thanks for the support. Enjoy the weekend my friend :)

You're welcome TC - glad you checked it out and find it interesting. That's a long time doing body work - 48 years 👍💯

Thanks Jason - glad you liked it. I was a bit weak on the hammering that year 'cause I slipped on the ice and really wrecked my shoulder 😒 It eventually got better though 😊

Thanks Robert, that's nice of you to say. Have a great week :)

Thank you Marc - I appreciate that my friend :)

Thanks 👍 - I was going to shorten it up but I figured folks who cared would want to see the whole thing so.... Glad you liked it :)

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks :)

I'll be posting that for sure. Got a couple of rust spots to make vids out of a some small dents but we'll get it posted.

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it - even the failures - have a great week :)

Thanks again Mike - love your input - Jerry

Thanks Bill - glad you subscribed - have a good labor day weekend :)

I'd love it - schoolvideolibrary at gmail dot com - Jerry

Thanks for sticking with it. Should have just gone right to the end to see if "this guy" knew what he was doing :) I fell on the ice real bad about a month earlier and I was having real trouble with my shoulder - so I looked pretty weak on the hammering - but maybe that was a blessing - didn't butcher anything:)

You're very welcome Shiloh ✌

Thanks 👍 - I finished painting the car and am now driving it. I will upload the rest of the videos soon - Glad you enjoyed it :)

You're welcome - a bit long but didn't want to leave anything out for those interested :)

Thank you very much 🔥🏈😄

You're welcome - glad you liked it.

Thanks - glad you liked the video :)

Thanks - have a good week :)

Thanks Mike - I appreciate that :) have a good week.

Thanks - I appreciate that. It's even more expensive when they replace all of these panels. This car would have been a total loss though - it would have been headed for the junk yard. Have a great week :)

Thanks, you've got a good one too - I like the content. You can go a lot of different ways with that. The amount of videos is unlimited. 1000+ subs congrats :)

@@LakesideAutobody thank you. Its easy when you love your subject haha.

You're very welcome - thanks for watching. Have a good week :)

You too... Brother

Thanks - glad you liked it :)

Thanks - Happy Holidays :)

Thank you F3D - have a good weekend :)

You're absolutely right - anything I ever bought from Snap-on I cherished. Thanks for the support, info and story - look forward to hearing from you again :) Jerry

Thank you, I will

Thanks my friend :)

Thanks John - it's something you should try I think :)

Start doing it - get a few auto body tools (cheap from HF) and start a project. Nothing is more rewarding than unmasking a fresh paint job - the smell of a body shop is cool too :) BTW ask any ?s you have along the way - use any video comment section - I'll get you your answer w/in a day.

Thanks Mark - glad you liked the video - have a good week :)

Glad you enjoyed it - sorry it was so long but I didn't want to leave out any pulls :)

Thanks 👍 I'll be uploading that video this weekend. On lock down in Michigan.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you 😊 and you're welcome.

Thank you very much. Have a great weekend :)

Glad to hear it CPS - feel free to ask any questions any time :)

Great to hear. I have a few Super Dutys that need some attention. I may take you up on that.

Thank you. Have a good week :)

Thanks Chris - appreciate the kind words my friend 💯

Thanks Mike - glad you like the videos - have a good weekend my friend :)

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it :)

I have a few cars that are "repairable vehicles" in line so there will be more uploaded. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks :)

I appreciate that - have a great week :)

Gracias por tu comentario Leopoldo :)

No matter what you hear about filler, if it's applied correctly it will last forever and stay invisible. Myself, I'd rather "fix" because I think it will last longer. I've seen replacement panels rust out fast because OEM panels are dipped or painted w/ electrostatic coatings. They can coat inner body parts much better than you or I.

​@@LakesideAutobody great idea for a good job

Thank you 👍

Thank you - Glad you enjoyed it :)

please be aware of what actual good and SAFE repairs are. Yes this is impressive in its own way but it is not SAFE. T The metal on the inner structure has 0 integrity left. it has been work hardened so badly it will crumple and shatter the moment it gets into an accident... the timing of the airbags could also be affected by this... not to mention you are only allowed 3mm of body filler. theres like 1/2 inch there

Thanks K - have a good end of the week :)
