"You want to lightly hit in the center." BAM BAM BAM BAM!

Maybe you should look at the aftermath of this car. Because I took 4th place in a full weld derby with this taurus. I'm not afraid of posting my tricks online thats the point of my videos, to help people.

Get yourself a .401 air hammer and some various hammer bits. Cuts down on the working time and you can control the action with the throttle screw. You will love it.

Oh my, this makes so much sense, unlike the straightening, filling and painting dents 😼.

I love that how you say to lightly hit and then you start going all bam bam up in here

Only derby they do here is a strictly stock derby I race asphalt round track late models at but wanna enter the next demo derby and it says nothing in the rules about creasing the body abd a few other things you can do not mentioned in rules and nit under any rule at all thanks for the how to man. I hope this does help lots of hammering and work it better make a huge difference and not just a small difference where it's not noticeable. I got a huge 4 lb wedge hammer it was heavy and I just made the wedge sharper on it and it helped to crease it more. Nice thing about this is that when you do the whole car front and back and rear quarters that it just looks like a beat to hell junk car you bought off some meth head for a hundred bucks that just hit the body with hammer for fun so now they can't say this cheating its just dents that's all lol. Wedge helped alot to pinch the line

Your doing it right mitch!! But i use a ballpein hammer i feel that it gives the crease better shape and ots a mixture between light weight and heavy. It also makes the fender tighter and stronger.

I don't recall you saying why this works. The scientific term is work hardening the metal. Basicly drawing the molecules closer. And making soft steel harder.

Minus head-banging to the hammer action, this is a great, wise, innovated video.

Now you need to go do that to your daily drive Sable! That'd be rad (yes, I'm from the 80's) to see someone driving one like that on the road!

Bone stock or Stock class for a first time. Those are the cheapest and easiest to have fun. I prefer to run in anything but I least like full welds for full size. Full weld compacts arn't as expensive.

could you do a video on how to dish the trunk with the speaker deck on from start to finish

I started head banging at 2:43. Rock!!!!

@jasondog37wolf I use a tripod and software to edit all my footage of filming full derby events. The shop videos stay raw for HD and realistic purposes.

Greatly strengthens body of a car.

What do you use

@xdemox00 Solid suspension. Wedging trunk downwards, more bolts and more weld!

hey good videos.... ever thought of usin a tri pod..and some editing soft ware..videos would be that much more better..good luck

creasing tin isnt gonna give you any real benefit. notching a frame will make the ass go up , youd be better off to run some beads on the insides of the quarters then undercoat it but no matter what u do 2 it its still a taurus the other cars in that heat did well because they used the back of the car .and they stayed out of the middle .if u sit still u become a target love those camrys 80s luminas aspens valiants dusters and darts

Lol, well I was trying to defend DM, but I see what you're saying. I just don't like people being negative about things that are meant to be informative and helpful.

@McBuck48 I did one time. It was over 100 hours for that car. I'm sure this car is more. This car has about $450 in it, including the cost of buying the car.

if you want a strong car take out the tank rubber lines tires anything that burns then use a rosebud heater heat the panels cherry red then spray it with a garden hose that will temper the steel rock hard then rhino line the inside of the trunk inner fender wells then paint the shit out of it then drill holes frominside of wheel wells through the doors go through tech then put bolts with big washers to door under latch mechanism tighten up bolts to suck doors to make structural strengthin back

i think im gunna give this a shot this year.ill post some vids before and after.

Yes, a lot more.

sorry didnt mean to sound cruel i come from a family who demoed since the early 60s won the first show i drove in in 75 ran over 200 shows in the next 38 years just cant believe the lengths guys go to try to win 500 or a thousand bucks. east guys have had incredible success with 88 to 92 4 cyl camrys . your buddy needs to not get in the middle where he"s so easy to hit and save the front til the end he"ll be better off to make every hit count radiators ,tires hit the tire 3 times&breakhis axle

what class do you like to run in? and what class would you recomend a first time derby driver

can you do this for a stock class or is this one for a modified class??

You need to put that camera on a tri pod!

lol my uncle did this with his forklift... 2 creases on each side all the way up, took an hour total... he only did it twice though cause the second time he almost completly tore off his trunk... ahh memories

I use ballpin hammer

what happen to lightly hitten it

@MrDvy94 In a full weld derby where this car went to? That is suicide. This car would have to go to a stock derby for the rules you mention.

got some questions ran 80's and never ran compacts before. but I got one for free wanna try it. got and frame tips for compacts

im gonna run in youth class next year i will do this to my toyota terecel

i have a 62 falcon four door with a 289....im debating on running it in the small car or destroying it in the sedan class

why dont u do it like the old days? bust the windows out put a bar behind the seat and where the dash is wire the doors and run it? those r the good derbys

Jesus! A ƒucking earthquake for the camera! Tough to watch.

dose this make your car stronger when you Crease ?

@nick32283 Only for modified class around here

A lot more

Find something that runs good. Unless you are a good mechanic and can make it return from the dead.

i think if you grind the corners off that custom hammer you made and make it halfway between a cross peen and ball peen, you will not have as much trouble with it piercing your panels and you will be able to have a tighter crease.

Air hammer, 15 mins a fender.

Your aloud to modify 4banger cars? Normally theres no mods aloud at all

get an 80s lumina stock theyll kill a taurus like nothing buit more power 2 ya i just cant figure creasing changing bumpers all that crap then your motor cradle falls out if youre gonna do all that build a street stock and go racing for a whole seasoin 75 200+shows later plus i set up easy 100 more cars for kids friends etc and i won just as many shows in all stock tie in +go cars as set up 2 the hilt cars crown vics valiants dusters darts gas tank over the rear end steel battery box run great

ok cool thanks .

What I the reason to crease a demolition derby car

Where are u running these cars?

Use an air hammer....

This would be a great thing to do if you were mad hahahahaha

punch holes through roof 9 wire through window frame like 5 places front and rear doorsuse cutdown hockey pucks to replace front subframe rubbers put grease all over underneath and mud bog the car and dont wash it let it hardenand youll have that stock appearanceif you are gonna cheat be the best cheater out there 39 years in this sport ive seen some really crafty guysoh yeah take tennis balls slot them put them up inside the shocks so the car can bounce up &down at tech in therear& have fun

...?

why such a small hammer? wouldn't a sledge hammer work quicker?

dont scratch the paint................ lol

Dude a 2 lb sledge is better faster unless you have weak fore arms.

Are you mad? Lol of course he realizes that his tricks are viewed by all people. He's not the typical derby guy who cheats to the 3rd degree and then tries to hide it. He shows what he's got into the car and doesn't feel like he has to hide things XD. Some people have to just calm down

This was the only good use for this car anyways... a demo derby lol.

whats the point of this

All i run is ford taruses unare a good man and i dont crease and i win man

its a taurus they suck show us how to keep the rack from snapping at the tie rod yeahcrease the tin with a hammer thatll do it the whole front cradles flall out in like 1 hard shot in the front ran 1 taurus it took longer to drive on the track than it did to kill it i woudnt take a taurus to a shut fight to use it as shield oh yeah your awesome tricks dont stay secret when you post them on youtube genius
