Day 2 Of Bodywork On The 3.4 Toyota Pickup!!

[@m.b8257]

I wish more people thought that way, “if your gonna do it may as well do it right” especially people working on your car or truck.

[@realaussiemale567]

That’s been a mantra of mine for the last few decades. Don’t waste your time & $$$ doing a half assed job, do it right the first time and move to the next job.

[@philgriswold2133]

Perfection cannot be hurried, plus you're getting some great bodywork experience that will payoff the next time you want to do something really clean. You have a great work ethic and the end product shows.

[@mariorotundo9167]

From a mechanic and self thought fabricator I just want to say thank you for sharing with us everything you do. Keep it up. God bless you. Greetings from Puerto Rico

[@kylemikesh123]

I'd love to see the reaction from the guy Austin bought this truck from after he's done fixing it up.

[@austinniemela]

That would be priceless!!

[@everythingsucks6086]

Lookin good man! I just got my first toyota last week. It's got a ton of issues, but I'm gettin after it! Much love and respect brotha! Thanks for all your work making these videos!!

[@RossWilliamsDC]

I just got my 1990 4x4 SR5 extra cab into clear coat last week. What a relief to have all the bodywork behind me. Hey, thanks for showing the Dura block kit. I have been racking my brain trying to remember where I got that green sponge bar soap from. It came in my Dura block kit. Great soap for dirty hands.

[@ronthompson2366]

Looks good. Do yourself a favor and go to Harbor Freight and get a set of hammers and dollies for hammering out the dents. Very affordable and nice to have. But yeah, looking good so far.

[@ivanolsen8596]

I had a similar dent in the rear guard, where it wasnt accesable. I removed the tail light and found round water washed rock with the same radius as the curve on the guard. Using a tyre lever and a wooden block as a fulcrum I gently levered the dent out. It came out so good hardly any filler was needed.

[@gregh7457]

The reason they say not to put bondo over paint is because of adhesion but if you rough up the paint with 80 grit it will stick good. Leaving the paint underneath protects against rust especially on lower panels. Bondo can wick up moisture and accelerate rust

[@ericsugalsku1826]

Looks good! Cant wait to see it painted. Any plans for a lift ?

[@jimc12]

I've found that it helps when you heat the metal up around and in the dent with a heat gun.

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Your body work turned out great, keep it coming with content like this 💯

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@mead6754]

I bought the very same truck brand new many years ago it was a 3.0L diesel no turbo and any time you came to a decent hill you where down to 1st gear by the tie you got to the top, Here in Australia we call a pickup truck a UTE

[@BCRyot]

Your body work looked great. Excited to see the Raptor on

[@trevortice9943]

Haircut looks mint af

[@FlynDirty1]

Nice job Austin

[@tylersmith293]

Great how to. I just used bolts and slide hammer and bondo. Wish I’d seen this before.

[@madcratebuilder]

Damn perfectionist. Great job.

[@markxuereb2392]

Keep it going you`re doing a great job

[@cmac956]

Hi, you need to stop apoligizeing for the tools you use. they work .I used to do the same thing, I made a lot of the tools I used . I got the job done, just like you do . keep doing what you do , its fine.

[@Faithful_Tribe]

Austin’s a peaceful dude.

[@Invincibletro]

I feel like most Toyota's have a dent in the bottom rear of the bed. I remember creating mine rolling off a large rock.

[@JEREMY120983]

Soon painting! Wait to see more!

[@tiemsolutions3694]

Inspiring me all the way from Africa, Nairobi, Kenya. Keep it up Austin

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!!

[@thomasengel3338]

Nice Work. Paint it black, than it looks like Marty Mc Fly Truck.

[@jeremyshaw6624]

I just did raptor liner on my 91 rockers and over fenders all the way around the body line in black then I plan to do the rest of the truck in blue raptor liner for a two-tone look

[@felipeaguiar2830]

Nice video!

[@gsftom]

Was thinking the porcupine look was working. Maybe just keep putting those studs everywhere and leave them 😀

[@Scooopdog]

Brilliant channel , your attention to detail is excellent, you've re-ignited the flame for me to buy another pick-up. I live in ireland and the Toyota Hilux is our choice, very hard to get 2 doors, 4 door are everywhere, :) ....keep up the good work ,,, look forward to more content.

[@austinniemela]

I wish we had 4 doors here!!!

[@45acp]

Better to go overkill than doing it twice. Looks good so far. 🇺🇸💪🏼

[@austinniemela]

Exactly!! I have learned that too many times haha

[@MINITRUCKSGUAM]

[@Faithful_Tribe]

Ghostbuster monster truck. ;D

[@realaussiemale567]

Given that you have a job, a young family, this current project, filming & editing, I guess asking for your opinion on the election would be a waste of time 😂🤣👍🏻🇦🇺

"Not to get too personal, no, we don't know you. Plus, they called him Edge because he's a collection of broken bones. Whites are not all of the same, plus, Graceland and Greek we're not the same Hotel California balcony, and, by the way, I'm not canadian, I don't have a picture disk of War and that's a difference, not a reference. The good thing about Daft Punk? Not giving my wife a MP3 player, because Mom died... What about Palermo, instead, would an average server make it easier for Us to leave these broken places where they'd spill beers of a lost game?! Do you still break wood to concentrate that Maple Syrup or it was 'too dark' for a wiser cat?!" 🗨🙄🏛🍁🚧🐱🌵

[@bob_frazier]

All that body work, sanding, only to then cover it with something bumpy, dull, and that is going to hold dirt on the truck. Not my favorite option. Love the vid though.

[@poormofo1]

Not many people use finishing glaze. Well done
