http://CollisionBlast.com - - Fix Dents using compressed air and a hair dryer. Does that really work? That is what we are going to test in this auto show.
I used many different ways to repair door dents and door dings, but never the compressed air and hair dryer trick. If this works, the dent removal cost will be minimal. A can of air...that is it. Join Donnie Smith in the first episode of Does It Really Work Auto Show to learn if it works for me, or not.
http://CollisionBlast.com - ABRN and Butler Community College has teamed together to bring you this ABRN HOW2. In this video you are going to learn how to use the new Magna-Spot JO 1050 Stud Welder Gun. The new gun is made by Motor Guard and has new features, which help hold the studs in place. We found the new features to be very helpful and eliminates the problem of pins falling out of the tip. Visit http://bit.ly to learn the 7 step process for repairing dents and where to buy this stud welder.
Other than that, the gun operates the same:
1. Remove coating (grinder or dual action sander) sanding takes longer, but it much safer with today's thin metals.
2. Using stud welder gun weld several pins on the damaged area. (remember first in last out)
3. As you start pulling your indirect damage first, use a body hammer to tap down on the highs. (this also helps relax your metal)
4. Pull direct damage last.
5. Remove pins and grind any of the remaining stud welded to the panel. (do not over heat metal)
6. Grind or sand 4" past damage area to provide a area to apply filler without overlapping paint with filler.
7. Blow repair area off with compressed area.
Now you are ready to apply your body filler, block, prime, block, and get ready for paint.
That's it for this ABRN HOW2. Thanks for watching!

This video tutorial demonstrates the basics for hammer on dolly. In one of our other videos, we demonstrated how to use hammer off dolly, which is for the rough out stages of the metal straightening. Hammer on dolly is used during the final stages of metal straightening.

I am also going to do this where the rocker panel meets the quarter panel. This will hide the seams making it look like one piece. This is not a factory look. If you are going for the stock look, I would not recommend doing this.

To prevent being stranded somewhere this battery jump box is something you may consider having in your car or truck. It's small and easy to store behind seat or trunk and it works. It worked for me anyway and got my truck started. The description states it's good up to 5.0 , but it worked on my truck and it's a 5.6 L
