Un trabajo complejo, que requiere mucha dedicación, no es cualquier auto,
es un clásico. Resultado excelente
amazing,,,alum is fun to work with cause every time you hit it and heat it
the molecules scatter making it soft and easier to form after about a month
the alum goes back to its intended hardness all by its self remarkable
really..
great job thank you for showing your work.
Thanks David, Your aluminum dent repair video is one of the coolest body
works videos I’ve ever seen. I’m currently polishing an aluminum horse
trailer that has a few big dents in it; looking forward to implementing
much of what I learned in your video. Thanks again for sharing this
valuable information!

very good
How long did it take you to do a job like this
That was genius work!!!!
A pleasure to watch a craftsman at work.
Fabulous video, thank you very much ! I’ve learned exactly what I was
hoping to.
Great workmanship shown….and patience. Might have to sell my Fibreglass
cobra and get a Kirkham…..They look great!
Nice job on the rear fender
How thin is the aluminum where it was filed?
AWESOME , its really ART WORK! i can’t wait to have my damaged passenger
side headlamp area repaired by you ( KMS591) and your team!! see you soon,
KB
Do you have any how to dvd’s. Would like to learn how to use the same the
techniques you just previously used in the video.
Very impressive skills you have there. Thanks for showing how you do it, it
was interesting to watch.
Very well done. Impressive. Though you mention using a steel hammer and
dolly. I thought you only wanted to use aluminum tools when repairing
aluminum because of the corrosive process that steel tools can cause.
That is awesome work and your patience and passion/skills for this are
optimum, keep the good work up
I was skeptical it was possible, but wow, that’s really beautiful. Great
work.
ABSOLUTE ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thx dk from another dk! I see it requires a methodology and patience, and
gives me inspiration to repair the alum bodywork on my Aston Martin. What
I’m wondering is: doesn’t all that shaping stretch the metal?
Your a true craftsman,outstanding job,i been in the industry for many
years,seen it all thats no easy task to repair that damage,dont let your
skill go ,train some receptive young person to keep it alive. Great work
ethic keep it up
Good Video
One of the best yt video I’ve seen. Must try is on the Airstream. Is there
a method to use if you cant get to to backside on long dents in alu?
Top job!
Shrinking Disk. Spelling wrong.
good job
Thanks for sharing!
What? No bondo? wonderful!
Ever use ” shriking Disk “??
Is it possible to remove the paint down to the metal on my 67 Tempest and
make is look like the aluminum skin on an old war bird?
I like the aluminum with solid rivet look.
Thank you and very nice work.
Sheet metal work is a ” ART “. Helped on 1970 HEMI SUPERBIRD
Restoration.Owner turned down half Million in 2003. One of 126 HEMI Birds.
This is pretty much awesome. Nice work!
Is it possible to remove a dent in an aluminium wheel arch without damaging
the paint work of a classic car. If so is it best to use a white rubber
hammer, if not what would you suggest please? Kind regards
thank you for the help an very nice work
Bad ass :)
Thank you very much
is it just a basic file you use or should I be looking for a special kind
of file for steal fenders ? than you
Hi David, This is very impressive!!! I never knew that this sort of thing
could be done. I have a 1994 Airstream trailer which sustained two 12 inch
creases on the rear quarter panel from a branch and I’ve often wondered how
difficult it would be to remove them. The damage happens to be on a common
wall with the shower. I’ve thought about remodeling the shower before. And
your video brings light to the fact that, this section may not require
fully removing the skin (i.e. rivets, etc.) in order to make the repairs
while the shower panel is completely removed. I’ve also thought about
having the trailer polished as well. So, finding your video certainly makes
this worth considering! Thank you!
Hey where can I buy that pick you were using to lift the low spots?
Wow!, very nice video. Did you build the pick tool too? I work on aluminum
trailer bodies for living, mostly 3/16ths plate lol. Creases are usually
cut out and replaced, not much fun cutting dented panels out. You have
great skills and patience.
Oh wow. You have the patience of Job ! What was the actual working time ?
I like to know where I can get one of those things you called a ping ,It
looks like a vise gripe
Thanks for the kind note. I was fortunate to learn the art from a gentleman
in his twilight years who worked for Rolls Royce before WWII. The repair
was about 30 hours total. However…There was an enormous amount of time
planishing all the little dings out before filing. Also, many hours were
spent sanding all the little file marks and coarser sanding marks out of
the body with successive grits to eliminate any hint of the coarser grits.
Good to see that proper craftsmanship is still in price and sometimes there
is no CNC to replace it 🙂
