Awesome job, I am surprised that the trunk hinges were not damaged when it received that rear collision.

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

yes, surprisingly enough a lot of the times it isn't.

[@leslieedgardlindop7202]

Where do you find workers that work like this guy good luck cheers les .

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

thanks!

[@aftabazad371]

Just out of curiosity could you not have fixed the original panel or was it too much work

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Not that it was too much work, but when the metal is kinked, you need to replace it. It wouldn't crumple the same again and could potentially be dangerous in a future accident

[@ajlanda9661]

​@@AUTOBODYTECH how many hours do you need for this Kind of job? Exelent job.. I learn from every video ! Thanks

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

@ajlanda9661 if you have a spot welder, typically, they should take about 7 to 8 hours and maybe an hour or two for assembly. The total job average pays the bodyman about 15 - 20 hours for something like this

[@icarusdb58]

yes , it's was repairable in about a third of the time allowed. but he elected to change , his repair , his decision.

[@basamfayad4202]

Very educational and informative video thanks a lot

[@DorKaschpor]

What is that grinding wheel you were using to remove the paint starting around 7:25? Seems to work very well without removing too much base metal .. Your content is absolutely incredible to learn from as a hobby mechanic! Greetings from Germany, have a great weekend!

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Its Sem Product Part #SA40020 3M and Norton also has their own similar version

[@DorKaschpor]

@ Thanks a lot!

[@cll_sr]

Clean work like always. Whats the brand of spot welder ? Its very usefull and pretty looking good.

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

It's a pro spot ph101

[@cll_sr]

@@AUTOBODYTECH Thank you very much.

[@JesusPerez-vh8xo]

Good job ❤

[@yishipan2031]

👏👏👏

[@practicalguy973]

Nice work man very professional. What is the black box you removed at 1:37 at the corner of the bumper? Never seen that part before on a car.

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Thank you! It's a blind spot monitor system.

[@practicalguy973]

@@AUTOBODYTECH Oh I see, probably radar parts in that blind spot detection. Good thing they were not damaged, probably expensive!

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

yes quite expensive! after repairs they would need to be re calibrated as well.@@practicalguy973

[@rodneydavis8631]

The rear break light assembly doesn’t come out easily,,

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Agreed! Any tips or tricks you could provide? I normally use tape to hold pressure on the outside of the light while using a hammer to tap onto the studs

[@alexandravargas-u7v]

Great job! Curious is there a way to remove the rear upper deck lid trim For Hyundai Elantra 21-22 Hyundai to install the part 87390AA000?

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

It looks like you're referring to a deck lid spoiler? If yes, you would likely have to access the underside of the deck lid. More than likely, there are screws and clips attaching it to the deck lid

[@alexandravargas-u7v]

I did remove all screws but there still seems to be something else holding it (its not a spoiler, the part no. shows it as part of the trunk hood). Will try another method but am hoping not to break the glass since it's right next to it on this model SEL.

[@user-by3bj1dp6f]

hey bro what disc do you use with your angle die grinder

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Hey, they are rapid strip disc. I've always called them a roloc wheel. Here is my Amazon link to something similar amzn.to/3wNKqRa

[@ivanelgordov9099]

Do you have to add panel bond in between the new panel and old one? Where you will be welding?

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

Depends on the procedure. Every make and model is different. On this particular one, no.

[@ivanelgordov9099]

Thanks! Just started doing heavy hits. I’m excited but nervous

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

@@ivanelgordov9099 nice! Hope these videos are helping!

[@armandomunoz4212]

how much did that cost?

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

About 4000$

[@DavidGajardo-hr8hz]

What kind of chisel is that

[@AUTOBODYTECH]

It came in a 3 pack at home depot. Brand is anvil. They call it a pry bar
