Rear Body Panel Removal and Replacement

[@93sundance]

I pulled some collision damage from my son's car, my tool consisted of a chain, a trailer hitch, and a Jeep. Yours works better 😊

I'm continuously amazed at what you can do with a sledge hammer and a cheap frame machine. My friend Dennis has a body shop with a Car-o-Liner that is completely computer controlled that probably cost $100,000 dollars along with state of the art temperature controlled baking spray booths. His setup is very similar to the shop that Kandyman is currently working at if you watch his videos. That you can do quality work with zero equipment I find remarkable. How do you like the plastic 3M spray gun? Damn thing is amazing isn't it.

[@LakesideAutobody]

I rally like the 3M gun. Sprays just fine and the ease of cleaning is a game changer for sure. I really appreciate you always checking in my friend - love your comments and suggestions. I started out in a body shop using the portable Kansas Jack (Power Post), pull pots in the floor, etc. - then a Chief EZ liner. I thought I would be really limited buying the L Dozer type but it's been pretty good. Thanks again SATAMAN - have a good weekend 👍😊✌

[@brandonm9771]

Definitely great work! Always have a lot of respect for people who save these vehicles. Just for everyone watching, this is considered structural damage and forever will be (doesn’t matter how great the work is). Be careful, just because it doesn’t say it on Carfax or Autocheck doesn’t mean anything

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks :)

You make it so easy! Our beater has to apply little body filler where he sand belt all the spot welds. I’m just curious because I’m his apprentice

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thank you Kohji :)

[@leighbratcher1998]

Nice job Jerry.

[@65895555]

I like to do minor body work, so your channel is the best for instruction. About how long did it take you just for all the pulling and straightening?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Setting up the car on the pinch weld clamps and getting everything ready to go takes about 1 hour. Really every pull was shown in the video so... maybe 1-2 hours of pulling at the most. Thanks for watching Obcey :)

[@johnlazdins2004]

Hey Jerry, gonna try pushing out large dent in rear quarter panel of my ford work truck, goes entire length. Drove into it on a slippery slope with my forklift. All I can fit in between inner wheel well, frame rail and gaurd is an alligator jaw spreader. This Easter so I'll have shop to myself. No it's not a Mopar but that's next project.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Great to hear John - please let me know how it goes for you - love to hear the stories :)

[@lcar9871]

I love watching you work that frame machine Jerry! It is impressive what you can do with it. Can it be set up for a side pull/T-bone or is it limited to front/rear? Nice tip - spraying the seam sealer with wax & grease remover to help smooth it out. I didn't know you could do that. It's great seeing your son following in your footsteps too. Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter!

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks for the support Icar - you can do a lot of different pulls with this type of machine. Here's all the different set ups -s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.autobodytoolmart.com/downloads/tech-sheets/BodyStraightener.pdf

[@Brian-jm2xr]

Nice work. It came out really nice, as always. Do you use weld primer before the pieces are put together? Thanks for the great video.

[@LakesideAutobody]

I don't use the weld through primer but here's some good info if you decide to use it - rts.i-car.com/ask-i-car/10931.html Wear some breathing protection - I'm sure the fumes aren't to healthy 😊 Thanks for watching and the support Brian - have a good weekend 👍

[@tonygoshive785]

Love watching your videos, you are one of my favour body repair Channels :D I’ve literally just watched one of your fiber glass rust repair videos and considering doing the same with my transit, cleaned up the wheel arch, a pin hole turns out to be a thumb size hole, was wondering how much do you reckon a fibre glass type repair will last as opposed to cutting out the rust and weld in a new plate? Thanks and really appreciate your expertise and content

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks for checking them out Tony. I have found that if you make sure the panel can drain and can dry out inside the patch will last for years. If you can hit the back side with undercoating - even better. This works great for every type of repair to prevent future rust too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bonEi3WvbKx2baM 👍

Once gaain fantastic job! I'm starting my 1968 GTO and it has the normal rust issues along with the rust under the vinal top, I'd like to see more on patching the fenders and when to use base and not the clear (Under the hoos and inner door panals?) Don-Howell, Mi

[@LakesideAutobody]

It depends on what the factory did. Some OEM hoods, inner door panels, trunks have just base coat (sort of flat look). Some shoot some clear over the top or maybe even use a single stage (shiny). If it was shiny throw some clear on it - if not leave it base coat :)

[@gm-lb9oe]

Hi Jerry, you did it again. Awesome job. Any thoughts about the what kind of metal one could use for repairs, as to my last comment. Thx again, have a great weekend. Still trying to find the time, to write the email to you. I haven't forgot too!

[@LakesideAutobody]

If you are looking for rust repair sheet metal - Alro Steel carries 20 gauge (.035") CR sheet A1008 - that's good for welding, forming body panels, etc. You can also use 22 gauge (.030")

Where do you get your parts from like the rear panel and the other panel? Like do you get it from the dealer or online? I love your video, I’m always learning a lot 🤍

[@LakesideAutobody]

If I can't find them online - ebay, partsgeek, carparts, etc. - I'll order them online from a dealer. Never actually physically go to a dealer though :)

Thanks SSG - I appreciate that. A dealership body shop can help you with that if they're equipped. There is software that has almost every measurement. I did find this on the internet - www.tcorolla.net/body_dimension_drawings-409.html

Thats what I think I need

[@jackcirrito3458]

That was great Jerry. What brand and type of seam sealer was that you used? How much $$? How’s drying time to primer. Since I live in Mexico some of this stuff is still hard to find. Could I use urathane construction caulking in a pinch? Hot and humid here. Thanks Amigo and Saludos de Mexico ⚠️

[@LakesideAutobody]

ACDelco GM Original Equipment 10-2013 Body Joint and Seam Filler Compound - I love the stuff - dries fast, $10 (Amazon), paintable. I let it sit overnight but I'll bet you could prime it 1/2 - 1 hour later.

[@lilfendiiofficialpage]

I have 2 questions realistically how long should a rear quarter panel replace job take? And also is it common to have a quarter panel window break because of tension when removing the quarter panel?

[@LakesideAutobody]

The window should really never break when removing and replacing a quarter. Sometimes you take the glass out too if needed. We always had glass guys come in for that. A quarter panel should take no longer than 4-5 hours for the body man to do his part. Then there will be paint and prep time which could be even more time than that. Basically though the whole job can be done in a couple of days very easily if you are working 8-10 hour days :)

[@lilfendiiofficialpage]

@@LakesideAutobody that’s exactly what I thought but the guys over at Hamden auto body have had the car since the 2nd of may tired telling me the window breaks a lot of the time and that a quarter panel job takes way longer then 2 weeks I told them stop smoking crack on the job lol I told them I was going to do the job myself but the insurance only gave me a check for $2000 there’s no way so I took it to get done right they laughed at me when I said I was going to do it myself I said if you think it’s so hard maybe your in the wrong job field

[@cullenmiller8170]

We used to have a saying when I worked on dozers. The older the machine the bigger the hammer. I guess in your case it’s the bigger the den the bigger the hammer. 😂😂

[@LakesideAutobody]

True 👍🛠😊

[@dougpeirce726]

Where are you sourcing the replacement panels? Are they coming from Ford directly or are their companies out there that sell replacement panels for more current model cars? I’m talk about vehicles that are less then 10 years old.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Those are OEM Ford but some fenders and common parts can be purchased from auto parts cos like Rock Auto, Parts Geek etc :)

[@TheKondicional]

I know most of nowadays sealers say - bare metal ready - but it is actually not true. Always primer whole panel then apply sealer. From my experience rust always comes up sooner or later if you put sealer on bare metal surfaces.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Good points KG - it is probably best to go with a primer first :)
