Fixing Some Rocker Panel Damage

This one got hit down low in the rocker panel and pushed the rocker in below the door. I used 3 different methods to bring the metal back into shape before finishing it out with filler. Check out how it’s done!

I’m curious Kyle. I’ve seen you glue pull in other videos. Why don’t you glue pull in situations like this, rather than welding a tack and pull tab/clamp? I do a lot of glue pulling and outer rockers are money for glue pulls. Faster, less invasive, no hot spots on the backside, and overall just a better repair. So, what’s your reasoning behind when to weld a tab and pull or use a bridge or tower with a centipede or crease tab? Love the content.

The pull force is limited in tougher panels with glue pulling also certain areas desires different types of repair if you can get it with glue that’s awesome and you should make some videos about that but in my experience I definitely think the keys was the way to go, minimal mud and he did it in a concise and efficient way. This way might not work for every autobody tech but in his shop and with his expertise the repair was beyond gluing. Most of the time us body techs just don’t have the time to heat and glue pull one project we work on multiple jobs at once and so every minute is money, a lot could potentially be pulled with glue; however the way he pulled it works too, there’s multiple ways to skin a cat so they say.
