Huge Copart / IAA Profits With This One Tool

[@Area559Duh]

Use a large piece of wood on the side with the piston so it doesn’t move the non damaged parts. My dad owns a frame machine but loves that little hydraulic extension.

Had our family out on the dance floor to the intro music. We dressed up in leather studded gimp suits.

[@pugjoe3915]

Can you do a more in depth review of the frame puller? It would be nice to see how it functions and how to use it.

[@dreamingcode]

It would have been nice to know what what you were pushing against inside the trunk. And because the tool pushes both ways aren't you creating damage on the other end?

[@beardymcbeardenstein9669]

The time lapse in the truck is awesome. Learned something new.

[@NoboriAuto]

Beardy McBeardenstein thanks for the support. I try to throw a little work footage in there haha

[@williamgrissom9022]

Rear-end damage seems tougher since the quarter panels are welded-on. I have repaired front-end damage with cheap Harbor Freight tools (HF). New front fenders just bolt-on and their upper supports (inner fenders and radiator-support) are thin sections fairly easy to bend back. If the lower frame rails are bent, that is tougher. I used the 10-ton HF porta-power to push the frame rails back to center the front bumper after a side hit in our 1996 minivan. What to push against is the trick. I secured the minivan in our concrete garage and could push against the concrete door opening. The top strut mount was bent inward, so had to wait until years later when the transmission was out for a rebuild so I could push against the engine block to bend it back (other side of engine blocked to frame). It had a little too much camber until then, though drove straight with minimal tread wear. Shops with a frame machine can secure the vehicle in the rigid frame and pull or push from all directions. Us shade-tree guys must be more creative. After my 1985 M-B car took a front 45 deg hit, I chained the front top corner to a tree and backed up several times to jerk the top rail back so a used fender would bolt up. If buying a wrecked vehicle, I would prefer one with upper front-end damage since it looks horrid, but you can just bolt on new fenders, hood, and grill, as long as all damage is in front of the front axle, the vehicle will likely drive straight. I've also used my $90 HF wire-fed welder to fix many car things, which paid for itself many times over.

[@vandalov777]

where did u mount 10 ton porta power to pull front rails? how?

[@williamgrissom9022]

@@vandalov777 I pushed with the porta-power, with its base against the concrete door opening. I built the garage myself and used rebar with the blocks filled with concrete at the door opening and where part was below ground in a hillside, so knew it wouldn't crack. I got much of the bend of the M-B out by backing up and jerking it with a chain on a tree, as explained above. But, later found a new hood wouldn't latch because the front radiator support was shifted sideways ~2". Not having a concrete garage this time, I wedged the car between 2 trees with wood blocks to the lower frame rails and bent the front frame rail back, pulling with a come-along. I stuck a thick steel pipe (~1.5" electrical conduit) in the frame rail hole and pulled at the end ~4 ft out for leverage, with a chain from that end to the other frame rail to form a triangle. I ran a rope thru the chain, to stop the chain from whipping if something broke, and stood behind a tree as I cranked. You must overbend a bit, relax to let it spring back, and check. Don't overbend or now you would have to apply forces in mirror image. Much easier setup for body shops which have a "frame machine" to secure the car and the pushing and pulling devices, but only took me a few hours for the tree support thing.

Great job, lol I just finally got my own hydraulic equipment kit, looking forward to fix some of my cars

[@living2learn138]

Hi Nobori, I have a queston, I just picked a sedan from Copart that has some trunk damage, to be more precise, the damage is where the spare tire is kept, someone hit it from underneath and it crunched part of the compartment where the tire compartment so now I have to pull this out. I just bought a porta power but I don't know where to base this unit from, I could use the other end of the tire compartment (since the compartment is a circle) as the base but I don't know if it will cause any damage to the area been used as base. Could you please give me your advise?

[@kensendelofski3761]

it's good to see a videos with no bad language. and some jokes. you should have slowed the camera down when you put the plastic around yourself..keep up the good work..looking forward to more videos...Thanks.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

That is fricken awesome.

Yo bro that music is lit, nice tool to fix the Mazda btw. We stuck gold on our jeep Rubicon forreal forreal.

[@NoboriAuto]

goonzquad That's awesome dude. I like hearing success stories on flips

[@goonzquad]

Nobori Auto Just bought a Scion tC with the same exact damage as your Mazda, was thinking about taking it to a frame machine or use the tool you used.

If you have dealer licence you get tittle right away if don't you have to wait lot of time

[@robertjenkins8630]

Hello friend thanks for the video. Could you please advise me on which porta power you use and witch would be the best for the money? Also should I go with a 4 ton or 10 ton? Thanks again!!

[@JustOchi]

Your videos are cool. Your work is sound and you have a great sense of humor. You made dull repair videos fun to watch. I learned much in the process.

[@coolissimo69]

Actually its not perfect, we could see light passing trough the trunk, so the rain will enter too.

[@thomaslockley1785]

I also have a dent in the roof but it's to big to hit out any suggestions

[@UnWrecked]

Where'd you get your portapower at? I needs to gets me one 😀 my cousin has a body shop with a frame puller, I love supporting him but sometimes that would be handy.

[@NoboriAuto]

UnWrecked I got mine from Harbor Freight because I needed it asap a few cars ago. Ebay has it cheaper though if you can wait a week for shipping. Super helpful. I've used it twice already. Def worth the investment.

[@UnWrecked]

Nobori Auto sweet, you're talking my language lol

[@UnWrecked]

I'm going to give your channel a shout out in my next video if you don't mind.

[@NoboriAuto]

UnWrecked That would be awesome dude. Btw, what type of stickers do you have made up for your shop? I have a 32" vinyl cutter if you ever need any.

[@UnWrecked]

Nobori Auto lol I don't have a shop. I'm working out of my yard, sometimes my Dad's garage. Just looking into starting an LLC for my KZbin brand. I have 2 different local guys doing my stickers for now, but I'll remember that if they ever let me down. My whole mission is to build a garage, or buy a house with a garage.

[@ColdWarVet607]

Good old Issaic Newton reminds us theres an equal and opposite force exerted...blah, blah, blah, so what in the heck did you brace the other side of the piston against in the trunk that didnt put the other end out of wack or ding it up. I know someone will say "a stronger structural member' but their aint none of those in a trunk!? Just trying to prepair for the next guy who hits me.

[@Hacker07Gaming]

How do you sell your salvage title cars? I can't get rid of mine

[@NoboriAuto]

Hacker07Gaming If the repairs have been done well and the price is right, they sell themselves. It all starts with buying the right vehicle at the right price. That being said, it took me a year to figure it out and I made many big mistakes

[@drippingwax]

What were some of your largest mistakes?

[@MrJachacon]

@@NoboriAuto me too but I don't understand why cars r very bad colossion and they r clear tittle

[@splashndash3838]

@@MrJachacon the insurance didnt total the car, it could have been repaired but the owner opted for a check instead. Check is usually way lower than the cost of the repair too.

Mustberice Channel To many yes

[@danielhartin7680]

What are you bracing the other end of the portapower against?

[@NoboriAuto]

Daniel Hartin mainly the spare tire tub, on the flat part. The angles made it a stiffer surface and allowed the path of least resistance to push the trunk body outward

[@drippingwax]

Do you ever put a 2x4 on the other end?

[@thomaslockley1785]

you need to do a video on the front support frame under the radiator

[@hanshoogendyk2203]

very important message: when using this tool... remember it pushes "both" ways...so where the foot is placed needs to be much stronger than where you are pushing...or you are creating more damage at the other end.... real professionals take years to learn to do this work properly first time

[@jimmartin7881]

Like I always say "It's a car, not the space shuttle, get it done and gone" Volume production equals profit, most people will only see you once in their life unless they're completely incompetent drivers.

Im looking for a Newer Mini (2010-2017) with Low miles along with Color Change to Yellow. Or Older Mini cooper (2006-2009) and full Service (water pump, batter, plugs, brakes...etc).

They have an app for your phone to record for example customer calls that OK work to be done. Just saying it's not if, it's when.

[@QQTrick1QQ]

A bit late, Eric O's channel "South Main Auto" said he has one installed and reminded a few forgetful customers of conversations that transpired. (great channel for repair and diagnostics) but depending on your phone for which app would be the best, Google or Apple play store free apps.
