STRAIGHTEN FENDER w/HAMMER, DOLLY & SLAPPER (F100 part 36)

[@ScoutCrafter]

I spent 15 years restoring a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain.... People have no idea how much time it takes to perform every operation of a restoration... That's why they call it a labor or love. =) Great job King!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Buddy!! Labor of love.....Ya gotta love spending money because it never ends eh!!☺

[@georgelewis8904]

Good job, keep the older truck going around, in the future people will be happy seeing these truck

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@HillbillySailor]

Seeing you walk on that fender reminds me of an old feller that worked as a body man at the local Pontiac dealership in my hometown. He used his feet as much or more than he did any tool to work out dents and get the shape he wanted. Thanks for that memory jog!

[@805ROADKING]

That's funny!! That metal was so thick and shaped, I don't think walking on it helped at all!!☺

[@nashguy207]

Thanks for letting us hang out with you. That was a thick piece of fiberglass on the bottom of that fender. I always learn something watching your videos. Just by watching you work. I bet back in the day you were one of the top body guys in your area. Have a good one buddy.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bob!! I have often been known as the Self-Proclaimed Best Bodyman on the East Coast, just ask the Guys!!☺

[@ollyalme]

Always interesting. Never enough of this. Thanks!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Olly!!☺

[@chriholt]

I enjoyed seeing the “tools of the trade”, very interesting!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! We had to knock the rust off a few of them, including myself!!☺

[@MartsGarage]

Nice to see a bit of old fashioned dolly and slapper work. i was taught how to do that 35 years ago. Maybe I need to revisit it and try to get my hand back in. Mart.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mart!! It's like riding a bike, ya never forget how to do it!!☺

[@wyattoneable]

I liked the ceiling lights making the dent real visible. That's one body tool I don't have, a slapping spoon. (I think it's called). Body work takes patience and your the man with time to make it right.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Wyatt!! It's so much more enjoyable being able to work at my own pace, then having someone on your back trying to push a job out the door!!☺

[@tiporari]

Had that same Grinder. Finally killed it after 18 years. Didn't have to heart to throw it away :)

[@805ROADKING]

Probably just a couple brushes, time to resurrect it!!☺

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Bodywork 101. Thanks EJ

[@805ROADKING]

We're not a how-to channel, we're just showing you our progress!! We don't need the Discovery Channel Boys telling us what we're doing wrong!!☺

@@805ROADKING LOL :))

[@larrycarlston4044]

The radiator support looks like you clear coated it. Really turned out nice!! You're a master with the brush..lol.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Larry!! We'll see ya at JT in a couple weeks eh!!☺

[@357magdad]

That driver's side fender came out great! Love the slapper!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Buddy!!☺

[@BrucesShop]

Great work RK

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bruce!!☺

[@thomassalisbury9902]

I repaired hoods on Diesel trucks many years ago and when you started grinding the fiberglass I smelled glass grindings. Great work!!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! It is a unique smell!!☺

[@williamadam3888]

The Slapper: Got a nice beat, easy to dance to.

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Amazing video

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@MattBrownbill]

From now on, if I stand on something, I will say I am putting it in the 200lb press 😁

[@regsparkes6507]

Today ( and again ) I learned another thing here, I never knew how to get that 'oil can' effect out of sheet metal , now I think I can do it. That's going to be a nice looking truck, I know I've said this before, but as I watch the repairing proceed I keep thinking of what it's going to look like when it's done.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Reg!! I do the same thing, it's the only thing that keeps me going!!☺

[@regsparkes6507]

@@805ROADKING I hear you!

[@upsidedowndog1256]

That is looking pretty good for what you started out with. Funny how little projects tend to swarm, eh? Getting closer, that's what counts.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! I noticed you have a 124 Spider!! I had a 75!! I've owned hundreds of cars over the years and that car was the most fun of any of them!!☺

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@805ROADKING It's a 79. Sweet little car. It is waiting on a few things to take place, starting with a garage or shop. Edit: ever notice the Italian cars from that era all rusted away but the British cars can still be found? The Italian ones got driven a lot while the British cars were always in the shop!

[@twocvbloke]

Fun thing about the word "Slapper" is it's british slang, it refers to a type of woman who, shall we say, is a bit "easy"... :P

[@MadStiles]

You're going to make a body man out of me yet! Just don't judge when I start doing my body work LOL great video buddy thank you

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! I've checked you stuff out, your doing just fine!! The only way to get better is keep doing it!!☺

[@ihus9950]

Years ago a fender like that with all the bondo we called it a plastic masterpiece. Nice to see that your taking the time to repair it correctly RK👍👍

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@ziggassedup]

Hammer time.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@tomthumb1941]

I enjoyed this video, learned some simple techniques.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Tom!!☺

[@OldCarAlley]

Wow that core support looks sprayed. The fender came out good too. Are you sticking with the color on the truck now, or are you changing the color?

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Howard!! We're gonna change the color!! Turquoise and Wimbledon White!!☺

[@OldCarAlley]

@@805ROADKING That will look awesome.... I am a "two tone" fan! It just adds to the appearance big time, in my opinion anyway.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Your going to have a great looking truck before long Buddy.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Lloyd!! I hope so, I'd like to do some crusin' in it this Summer!!☺

[@hughmackellar7941]

You do nice work.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@led8541]

Great video

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

What kind of wheel was that on your grinder it seemed like it worked pretty well without damaging the metal

[@805ROADKING]

That was 36 Grit disc!!☺

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

805ROADKING thanks bud 👍🏻

[@FlatheadGarage]

Love the video can't wait to get my truck back together

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@MelMelx365]

What a beautiful machine, happy new year

[@skycarl]

Man RK, that left fender looks like it just came out of the warehouse. Gonna be sweet for sure.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Carl!! I was surprised it straightened out as well as it did, Especially with the 2x4!!☺

[@jmccracken491]

Please explain term Oil Canning??

[@805ROADKING]

That's when a piece of metal is so stretched that it pops in and out when you touch it!! Like the old round oil cans with the pointed spout!!☺

[@crazyfvck]

@@805ROADKING I suppose you could also call it "pickle jarring." ;)

[@normanserena8617]

I had a truck just like yours. I bought it 1967 paid$1700 for it sold it 1988 for $2500, wish Had it today. I did put a 4speed and beefed up the suspension to pull a trailer. It never rusted very bad.

[@joeo1352]

[@MelMelx365]

They just don't make em like this anymore.

[@805ROADKING]

Ain't that the truth!! Have a great New Year Buddy!!☺
