I mean he has a frame rail, laser alignment equipment, hydraulic pulling equipment. Various clamps. The thing that measures hole centres when there’s something in the way of the tape (forget the name, he did say in the video)……to be fair he has a pretty impressive setup, far more than most amateur home mechanics. Having said that, having the equipment is nothing without the knowledge and experience of how to use it. This guy is seriously good at what he does…..and the fact he can explain exactly what he is doing and why is a gift to the viewers. I want to be clear, I’m not trying to take anything away from what this man can do…..but he does have quite a bit of fancy equipment. No doubt he could probably make a pretty good job of it without any of the fancy gear…..but to get it mm perfect like this cannot be done with a tape measure, grinder and ratchet straps.

After a number of years I called around and found Frank sat in his favourite armchair gazing out of his bungalow window .

I stumbled upon your video while searching for information on straightening frames, as my 07 GMC Sierra 2500 truck was in an accident 2 months ago and the Farmers insurance company and Caliber Collision body shop decided to total it due to a bent frame, diamond bend, from what the tech told me. I am wanting to keep my truck instead and have the frame repaired since the truck only has 140,000 miles on it and with the Duramax LBZ 6.6 liter V8 turbo engine and Allison transmission all in good working order, I can't afford to buy anything similar and not know it's maintenance and care history as well as my own one owner truck. I do have concerns about towing since I tow horses in a gooseneck trailer and hay often. The insurance company requires replacement of the entire frame which was going to run over $17,000 with the bumper repairs, so they considered it too expensive to pay for and will be giving me a check. I'm going to take my truck to a couple local body shops next week and see if they can repair the frame. Any advice for me?

All of the structural panels I generally get from the dealership. You can also get them used from a wrecking yard.

But how you finding centre of the car with laser? How you setup laser?

Excellent work Sir,all done in precision and accuracy 👍 using laser to restore the damaged side fender,frame.where did you learn all these skills 😊
@GusMahn Жыл бұрын
Maybe I missed it, but how are you finding the true center of the car? I'd assume you shot under the car and measured center from two sets of symmetrical holes in unibody behind the cradle. Excellent job interacting with your comments. I wish you success, but I'd hate to see your channel loose that.

I went over the way I set up my laser and get the car leveled out and split exactly down the middle with the laser in the video previous to the one that you just watched. If you are interested here's the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ7apKR9h9mbiac

you may have answered this in another vdo, but why didn't you remove the engine first? it would give you a better visual on what is going on..
@fix20611 ай бұрын
That would be unnecessary in this situation, too much work really for nothing. I was able to measure everything out without having to go through the trouble of pulling the engine, it wasn't really in the way
@azaziah2811 ай бұрын
Why didn't you pull the shock tower before the frame rail?

Where do you locate the frame measurements for a particular vehicle and where do you buy those repair panels for frame
@fix20617 күн бұрын
A lot of the replacement panels I bought from the dealer. As far as the frame measurements go, I went over that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmKun3yDq5VrhJI
