I hope you're better than this guy....

I was flicking thru youtube because I like to look at this stuff and get tips from the sheetmetal sections.

You can imagine my surprise as I watched in total awe as this dropkick who honestly believes he's doin everyone a favour by posting this s--t.

I honestly hope none of you think that this is acceptable.......if you do, don't bother to offer any help thanks, I can stuff it up all by myself

Check it out

I couldn't help but watch all 3 because I still can't believe someone would think this is ok, I sure hope he doesn't own his own repair shop!!!

 

Wow. I had to watch all 3 too.

 

Man, anyone sporting a dick duster like that and a part in his hair 2" from his ear clearly is not trustworthy..........i was waiting for the chick in distress to bust in and the waka waka music to start.

 

This video is rich. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. I'm glad he points out how important it is to remove the filings when you're drilling holes for pop riveting sheet metal. You don't want to do hack work!!

 

I was waiting also to see a mustache ride educational video to start mid way through his first rust removal. Wacka wacka bumd da bum bum.-Weeks

 

I'm glad he wasnt workin on a HOT ROD !!!

 

he looks like a 70s porn star!

 

Ha Ha I thought the same thing, Is it Dirk Diggler or Buck Naked ?

 

man I HAVE been doing it right all these years

I think I have bought a few cars that this guy repaired.

 

Sponsored by Bondo. Yikes!

 

Wtf...

 

That's the way I started when I was a kid .Then I bought a welder

 

He forgot duct tape when he showed the tools used.

 

Come on guys !.....He was using reinforced bono !! and that screen looked top quality too. I probably would have used a little better pop rivet though. They looked a little cheap to me.

 

what a fuckin' goober this guy is. "i'll show you the correct way to do body repair" my ass! what cracks me up is, he is dead serious. sheez.

 

sure was impressed with the fancy drill grinder, bet he uses spray cans for custom car paint jobs too!!
I would like to see this guy go down to the local Cenex and fix some fertilizer trucks, would take a lot of screan mesh !!!!!!

I went to a car show this summer and watched a body repair demo and was amazed at how they did a lot of the work, thy sure did not teach it that way 40 years ago when I went to body school, I was mostly amazed that the guy feathered the metal out with 120 grit on a DA and then applied Bondo, I always thought you needed some grinder marks for it to adhere too???!!!

If this guy is doing this stuff for customers, maybee someone should call the better business buearu. looks like a scam artist to me?????

 

I had to watch all 3 also... Wow! Now that's OLD school! Thank GOD they dont do it that way anymore.

I will give him credit on his ability to bang out a patch pannel from sheet steel using a ball-peen and a block of wood.

 

Wonder if he would let me borrow some of his gardening tools hanging in his garage? Maybe he uses those for the really big rust holes.

 

so that is where all the people I buy cars from learn their body work skills.. I knew there had to be a central source for this madness.

 

This guy RULES!!

WOW! Pure crap.

 

I think I lost some brain cells watching these. I did some hack work when I was 15....but I mean really. Sad to think that some people think this is the right way. Make sure you use the unwaxed dental floss.

 

I have a classroom textbook called Total Auto Body Repair, from 1976.

This book, used in high schools and tech schools , showed the same kind of practices...pop-riveted metal, screen and fiberglass over rust holes, not to mention bridging rust gaps with aluminum tape before bondo is applied.

It would be funny if it weren't so frightening

 

You want to know the sad part? That's exactly how my dad taught me to do rust repair when I was a kid! After a few years, though, we noticed that rivets tended to cause problems so Dad started to BRAZE in the patch metal!!

 

There are alot of people that think this is the right way. Besides, this video looks pretty old. Technology has changed. What year is that car? Looked like an 86' chevy celebrity.

 

I liked how he kept waving his hands at you like he was using Jedi mind tricks.

 

I'm surprised his Mom let him work on her car.......

 

HAHAHA! when he got to 1min and pointed to that pop rivet gun... I knew it was goin" to shit, and I'm from Mississippi, WTF?

 

Sweet!

 

Hate to say, but I know someone who just went to / graduated from a "trade" school discussed on here often and this is what he was basically taught...
