Wrecked Porsche 356 - (Episode 4) Fender Repair

[@hevog]

It's really amazing how you managed to bring that squeezed and twisted fender back into shape. Never saw this before and would not know of anybody who could pull that off like you did, real work of art. It's a pleasure to watch your videos. Looking forward to see the car on the road with you behind the wheel. Great work!

[@ianhardin1148]

I sat here doubting. At the beginning of the video I actually said out loud "there is NO way he is getting that fender back into shape!" And lo and behold-you did it. Truly amazing work.

[@aaronpena1570]

What you've done up to this point seemed impossible to me when you first showed this car. Very impressed with how it's turning out.

[@robj2704]

You're really lucky to have found all these, what appear to be, California cars. 10 years ago, I had a 66 Olds 442 that was originally a Cal. car that had made it to Florida before coming up to the Carolinas where I bought it, and it was exceptionally clean and rust free.

[@quietenglishman4179]

I've had dents pulled out of cars before and some panel beating done but what you did to that wrecked o/s wing is something special.

[@NORTHERNROVER1]

Time and patience wins the race. You made an excellent job of this. Cheers!

[@henryatkinson1479]

Very impressive. That kind of metalworking ability is becoming a rarity these days, always good to see someone to good at it showing their skill.

[@timbrookes3699]

Fascinating to watch, especially in speeded up time and with no dialogue and thank God, no techno music. Thank you.

[@gwick55]

Nice! No annoying songs blaring at you during the entire build.

[@nanuq1977]

You showed that fender who's the boss!! Fantastic work

[@andreasvenator]

And I know you´ll even get that left eyeball straightened out before you hit the road...well done! Archimedes would be proud of you, counterweighting the force against the inside of the fender by strapping the front suspension to that beam...keep up the good work. This is inspiring to your true believers!

[@rennch.]

Is that what he did? I wished he'd done some VO on the video.

[@mauricehess537]

Just shows what time and pressure can accomplish,, like the Grand Canyon,, which is what that fender would have been for me ,, nice work ,, I learned a lot watching !

[@colescarkingdom]

Wow, did not expect that much of an improvment! Great job

[@originalblackplate]

Amazing! You are quite talented! I'd totally drive and enjoy the car like this!

[@scottockerby18]

I have been watching the repair and you are doing a terrific job looking great.

[@daveg2113]

Amazing job. I'm going to start looking at wreaked project cars differently from now on.

[@gustavomerlos2337]

You’re the best doing that, I follow all your videos from El Salvador!!!

[@ericl452]

I have a 65 C in similar condition. My front fender and roof are not as bad as yours, but it has significant damage on the driver's rear quarter. This gives me inspiration to start banging on it.

[@RichardLimpens]

Great job, very interesting how you will get this car in a nice condition. You must be a very patient person. Good luck!

[@rickdaniel8478]

Just found your videos ! Enjoy your style, very cool work ! Your video technique is well done. Your doing a great job, love the patina. Only original once.

[@1st_Gen_Life]

WOW!!! I do not think that car could get anything close to its original shape. Great work 👍🏻

[@stefanengstfeld8195]

Tolle Arbeit meinen Respekt, freue mich auf diese Videos👍👍

[@Timescratch1]

Ja, kaum zu glauben!

[@mikemcdonald7441]

You ability to move metal is amazing. I had to do that with my beetle that had been hit in the front end but your skills far exceeds mine! Amazing work!

[@mitchlanier884]

Beautiful, beautiful, that's all I have to say. Fantastic job Jared. It keeps looking better and better.

[@PhilGreeleyJR]

Incredible job!

[@waynemiracle8928]

Simply amazing!

[@davidcousineau6605]

That fender though...never thought you could get it that good based on the crumpled mess that it was. Well done!

[@rennch.]

That was mind boggling. Nice job!

[@lancemillward1912]

Restored to factory specifications ;) I get the intention and enjoying the build so far.

[@robbyd.4037]

Amazing work so far . Incredibly gratifying watching it come back into shape...You're a freakin magician :)

[@Timescratch1]

Great work and great series. Thumps up!

[@rennch.]

I'd like to see some voiceover next time, explaining a bit of the process. It was very cool to watch.

[@polloloci21]

Amazing work- drive it like that!!

[@TimeLapsesBaudet]

xd sin palabras! Un gran trabajo! Un trabajo increible. La pintura se ve perfecta y el trabajo de restauracion de chapa....No quiero saber cuanto te costaria hacer lo que has echo en un taller porsche xD! Huevos de acero ! te sigo!

[@WACRE44]

That fender was a lot of work

[@patrickbrown7491]

Most people would replace that fender, impressive work to get it out. To finish you could check against profile of right guard, each 4',with a template?

[@locosporlosvolkys7640]

Tu habilidad es impresionante, gran trabajo!

[@408sixbbl9]

I love watching your videos. Amazing to see the metal come back into shape. How many hours do you think you have in it up to this point?

[@billgraham5609]

Wow, looking good!

[@stanmurray5991]

Can't argue with the results...Never seen channel locks and claw hammer with blocks of wood. I just bought a fiat from decades in the wrecking yard..all four fenders are like this. I think I can but won't use the same hammer. Does the heat gun really help. I subscribed!

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks buddy. The heat gun helps prevent the paint from coming off. Probably doesn’t make much difference when it comes to the metal bending easier.

[@stanmurray5991]

@@Jerod_Helt Oh gawd...wouldn't want that paint to chip/peel.

[@Jerod_Helt]

I’m not painting this car, so for me it was important to keep as much original paint as possible 👍

[@psk5746]

@@Jerod_Helt why are you not painting it? Some sort of rat rod?

[@fractalrender]

Great!!! Didn’t expected get it that good specially the deep cut. The seats are you putting originals or like a bucket seats????. Cheers!!!!!!!! Want to see it rolling!!!

[@riddledriddler3933]

it actually came out pretty good, seemed smashed too nasty. cheers, subscriber from Latvia!

[@motorv8N]

Fantastic progress and what wonders you worked on that fender! Hard to tell when the video is accelerated but are some of the taps just to soften up the metal vs actually push it into a different shape? It seemed very gentle at times to force anything.

[@stuwemhoener5937]

That was like watching Christine all over again

[@peterwilson3454]

well done ...well done

[@merckxamillian]

Watching this series following the hot rod Fiat 850, great stuff. How did you treat the bare areas of crash-damaged bodywork against corrosion?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I ended up using touch up paint on the bare metal

[@glotube1028]

That was cool! Slap a little bondo on and call it good!

[@danielmize6567]

Do you happen to know the name or code for that color? Amazing hammer work, but I'm a painter and I would love to see it refinished.

[@Jerod_Helt]

It’s called Champagne Yellow. Color code is #6405👍

[@DepthWish]

Does the polishing help reveal dents better?

[@pappabob29]

Wow!! With all the rest of your commenters, I never expected that fender and roof to "remember" their shape that well with what you started with. That's quite the accomplishment!! Was that done all in one stint like it looked in the video or many segments???

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks buddy! It was a few hours a day for 2 days👍

[@ideabrickworks9043]

Late to your channel and am hooked. Found you from a collaboration with SuperFastMatt and your Honda. What was the accident that caused this? It looks like something heavy fell on the roof, then off over the LF wing? From the underside pictures, the suspension and wheels look straight. Missing lug nuts…funny. I have worked on 914s and 911s, but never 356s. Interesting they went to bolts after this.

[@Jerod_Helt]

Glad to have you! The 356 was definitely upside down at one point but I’m not sure how it happened, I bought it wrecked. I’m hoping someday the previous owner will see my videos and tell me why happened to it.

[@vin9114]

Great job. That car is so solid and rust free. Are you planning on selling it? I wouldn't...its a keeper

[@naberville3305]

She'll definently be a unique gal. Do you think you'll just do some light touch up with some color matched paint? Or just clear it?

[@economudorinalexandru4523]

I would watch 2 KZbin ads for you :)

[@mikel1024]

He could really benefit from a dent puller, the type with weld-on studs mated to a slide hammer. Fascinating series. My favorite year and color 356!

[@ericmachard7769]

salut ,super job mais réellement combien de temps as tu passé de temps pour faire cela?

[@The9meister]

Are you going to bolt the 356 body to the chassis that is sitting next to it ?

[@Jerod_Helt]

That would be cool... no thats a Land Cruiser project I’m working on

[@trimaranchuck]

I had an idea. Why not remove the roof and fender and take to someone with an english wheel to finish smoothing out the dents. Then weld back on.

[@Jerod_Helt]

I actually bought a small English wheel and tried to use it by hand on the roof. My fear is that it would remove the paint in the process. If I remove the top and fender I will replace them with new straight panels. But then I would need to repaint the car.

[@christianrodrigo5010]

Und alles mit de näcke Föss 😉🇩🇪👍👍👍

[@mikel1024]

So now that the metal is roughed out, it's time to hire a sheet metal expert and maybe a PDR guy to finish it off. Don't want any thick layers of Bondo.

[@andrewsoupene1028]

WOW !

[@ultra4suzukisamurai679]

What did the damage to this car?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I wish I knew. I bought it like this and the seller didn’t know how it happened.

[@lascampbell1050]

This guy !! how the f does he do it ?

[@trimaranchuck]

There is nothing wrong with a little Bondo carefully applied minimally over hammered out dents. You don't need new body parts, these can be fixed!! You CAN do it, or get a little help.

[@ronpackwood8772]

👍👍✌️

[@cherylvantol6411]

Buy a new fender from Trevors Hammerworks, Ohio.

[@randyrocket461]

hey some music would be nice
