To cut a guy down for pulling a 'post hit' to that area is sorta mean.He did a Great job pulling with welded tips and pulling.The over grinding hurt the fix though.There's no 'Before' pictures,but as a body worker;That hit a pole sideways' and the 1st guy tried hard,but it was too far gone.Don't cut a guy for trying.Kudos for the panel cut in and welds V.

Although this is a way better repair than the one at first, it's still pretty shady if you are going by the book. For example no primer on spots, no glue in wheel well, and not to mention as the oem manual says, you cant change half of a qp. You will still need more bondo than if you used a new complete qp. I've been doing factory approved repairs for years.

There should be no VIN issues with this repair. VIn is usually on driver side door jamb. If you are referring to other parts that may be stamped with a VIN you can keep your receipt of where he purchased the door or even the 1/4 panel if that has a VIN stamped in it.

About that clickbait title...the previous repair (spotter puller) was never gonna be the proper way to fix such damage. You were probably given just what you have asked for. On the other hand, great job on separating panels (wish my spot weld game was that precise) and fitting/measuring them back. The spray "primer" tho...such car deserves some 2k epoxy base + primer, but thats just me, since I would be afraid, that spray shit lifts at some point further in the paint job.

Thank you.. you goonsquad and nour keep me sane

[@jvaubry]

While your work looks nice, you overlooked one critical point, you never put a weld seam on a day light opening(glass) mounting flange, because you will end up getting leaks. If you replace the quarter panel, you have to do the whole thing, which is a lot of work, but the only way to ensure that the quarter side glass does not leak. If this were your car, and not your friend’s car, would you have approved this work if the body shop did this amateur work? If this were my car, I certainly wouldn’t.

Great job Ben. It looks good as new. When it's painted even the best body man wouldn't be able to detect the repair, I wonder how long it took to pull that dent with the stud puller. It would still take another day for bondo and sanding to get a second rate repair.

[@jimmickay6770]

[@jvaubry]

I can’t speak for the body man, but as a stamping engineer in the automotive industry I can say that this amateur repair is easily detected by observing the light reflectivity of the painted panel, particularly if the panel is painted black. Unfortunately, this repair violates the design and manufacturing of the vehicle body structure against water intrusion, by putting a weld line across sealing flanges, and in itself is a second rate job. The only viable body repair for this job is to replace the majority of the body panel, or pulling the panel out, depending upon the decision of the insurance rep, the body shop, and the car owner.

[@alshotrodsandratrods8780]

@@jvaubry This isn't an amateur repair. Ben's a professional body man. As a body man myself I can tell that this is an excellent repair and I'm sure Ben used seam sealer around the repair. Even if this was black you wouldn't see it in the reflection. Replacing the entire panel would require more welding and be harder to hide. Part of being a good body man is making an undetectable repair. That means making sure it doesn't show in the reflection. I've made stampings for small appliances. Toasters, can openers, blenders etc. As a mechanical engineer I've designed machinery and improved on existing designs and manufacturing systems. Body work was a hobby till I opened my own body shop. Today we're cutting up a 50 Buick sedan and turning it into a roadster pickup. It will be on my channel tomorrow. You can check it out and offer your criticism. I'm always open to suggestions.

[@jvaubry]

@@alshotrodsandratrods8780 I agree with you that replacing the quarter panel would not be the preferred approach and that is why the insurance adjuster and the body shop attempted to pull out the panel. Anytime you cut an exterior closure panel you risk exposing the interior of the body structure to water intrusion. Generally, only the closure panels are manufactured with sheet steel that is galvanized for corrosion resistance at the mill.The interior structure panels are usually manufactured with bare sheet steel, which has minimal rust inhibitor applied during the dip for the body in white. For new car/truck designs, because these parts will never be exposed to water intrusion due to the way water intrusion is managed in the design and assembly of the body-in-white, unless these parts are exposed to water intrusion as a result of poor collision repair practices, such as this repair of putting weld lines across sealing planes. If water gets inside the body structure, the interior sheet metal parts will begin to corrode either through direct contact with the water, or indirectly as the water increases the humidity level of the air inside the body structure. When an oem builds thousands of vehicles for sale, water intrusion is a very serious design issue and if improperly managed at the design and manufacturing level of the body-in-white, can result in costly recalls to the oem.

[@jvaubry]

@@alshotrodsandratrods8780 regarding defects in stamped panels, let me tell you that you can definitely see such imperfections in the panel when you have weld lines on panels. This is why you don’t manufacture closure panels from TWB(tailor-welded blanks) because the weld lines will show up under the paint. Seam sealer will not hide this because the light reflectivity picks up on the minutest distortion in the panel surface, whether due to heat from the weld or imperfections in the surface. This is why in the stamping industry a panel stamping is painted gloss black and observed under a halo of fluorescent lights to visually use the light reflections to look for surface defects in the panel, such as lows in the surface around door handle pockets, window corners at the belt-line, and fuel filler doors, etc. you can even see where the panel did not get enough stretch during the stamping operation. Not to diminish your expertise as a professional body man, but you are probably not as trained as I have been in the stamping industry to visually see these surface imperfections in stamped panels.

Why did you spray primer on the paint, Primer is only meant for bare metal. It will come off. Primer is not meant to put placed on clearcoat... But I did want to say the repair itself looks amazing ( that other dude jacked up that weld job sooo bad)

[@novinnovations4026]

Primer can absolutely be applied to clear coat, but, it MUST be sanded/scuffed prior. That's it really.

[@ivor7407]

I wouldn't have done it that way. I would've used the whole back panel which would include the whole gas panel opening. Thats just my two cents. Very high quality work though.

[@ivor7407]

What I'm trying to say is putting the joint halfway on the gas panel opening could lead to more corrosion. Maybe not. Who knows.
