Hi buddy, I'm in sunny, well not so sunny England, just watched your videos and found them to be inspiring, I'm in the middle of restoring a 1964 BSA D7 and a 1950 B31, I've just removed the rear Mudguards or fenders from both of them. The have little dints all over them and I'm going to try!!!! and have a go at removing them, as per your video, will let you know how I get on...
hey this is great mate im in bris watching your vids are awesome.. just wish i had more data credit to watch more.. keep the vids coming do you have new ones. im doing an old 1974 car (going to do as im building th ebush shed at my father in laws place to get it out of weather and so i can start stripping it)
do you have a vid showing how to fix dents that are creased? I have a fender on my tr3 with at dent that comes to a point at the top of the fender and its creased.
Good on ya champ, you remind me of the 30 odd years I spent as a panel beater :) Your work is good, nice to see someone who doesn't use bog/poop lol. Also the copper behind a weld trick has been around for years yet not many people know of it, did your dad show you that ? Great work, keep it up champ P.S. Can't find much copper that hasn't been alloyed with something, your correct again :) All the best from OZ :)
i wish your guys practice was more communally used in america -_- theses idiot filled my mustang with body filler all over!!!! and now it looks like crap
thats amazing. I have a few old files laying around. My dad's brother was a airline mechanic and he gave some tools to my dad when he passed on, and now I have them. He made most of them, and I have yet to figure out what half of them are.
Thanks for the info - can't wait to finish my bodywork now
Spent some time with New Zealanders or Kiwi's as they are called. Many are like this fellow. Friendly, direct, open and honest. Great culture and great people.
i've been a panel beater here in the uk forever and you are spot on mate! gonna subscribe because there is always something more to learn and i'm sure you will be the man to show us!
congrats on a great clear to follow vid that'll help a lot of people interested in the trade,now i gotta go and bend my bastard!lol
Damn, you've got your skills straight (pun intended) Excellent video and training! I've added you to my favorites list on YouTube. I'm going to make it through your entire series of videos.
the file itself serves for another trick too. it prevents squishing the material too flat and then leaving high spots again in a completely new area. I hope you know what I mean, those cavities in the file allow the material to "relax" a bit when you bang it, otherwise if you have a perfectly flat tool it can cause high spots just where the edge of the tool goes as the material bursts out from too much stress.
- just doing up an old '67 lambretta li150, - some quite badly dented panels, mudguard etc. Saw your video and thought i'd have a go, - got an old file etc, and set about the mudguard which was pretty bad after someone had jemmied off the old number plates - well, you should see it now in primer, looks bloody fantastic, I am really chuffed to bits, - many thanks for the lesson/kick up the arse to do it myself - legshields next, but not that bad - cheers, keep them Lammys rollin'!
You know, iv never done panel beating before, but i am going to be starting soon. This video has actually shown me that it is simple when you know what to do!! Which i believe i do thanks to this short video!!
really good. I only have one criticism, you make this look way too easy! Ive been trying this method ever since i found out about it and i take far longer and i always end up having to use a skim of filler to finish it. keep the videos coming they are the best on youtube for this sort of thing.
Mate...you should keep uploading videos about different panel beating stylesand how to do o a car for different parts..This will be great stuff to do as Kiwi Unique styles...Once again THanks

wow, im 17 and worked in panel beaters and airbrushers before but havnt done much panel work...but this video is really helpful and i got the tools so ill be sure to get a panel to practice on soon, and help my drifting mates fix there guards :) you should be like a teacher at a school like TAFE
hi restolad brilliant videos my friend :) im just wondering what size bastard file is your slap stick ? im going to buy one and make myself thanks for all the brilliant videos
Superb. I have just done my first panel job on a Supra front guard, hardest steel I have ever seen. Got it done but ended up with lots of little marks from the hammer and dolly. I wish I had seen this slap stick before I started. Thanks its an excellent video.
You make it look easy mate... and I learned something. I have a couple dents on one fender on my 57 chevy truck that I'm going to try this on... Thanks for the technique...
In 1975 in New Zealand bondo was considered poor workmanship, even by insurance companies. If an insurance rep came by the shop and saw bondo shavings on the floor, there would be trouble. What did they use instead. Body shaping tools and then lead solder. Even during automotive manufacturing they used lead to touch up imperfections.
Lol, "deent". Great video man, keep up the good work. I've been wanting to learn to do this kind of work for a while. I just picked up a '92 Subaru SVX and it needs some work. It's previous owner was a high school girl (which speaks for itself), and no car should go through that kind of torture.
Great Video mate, I'm a kiwi as well, it's nice to see someone creating their own tools with the same number 8 wire approach I know so many of us grew up with. Great lesson, keep up the good work.
Well done mate, thanks for posting this. Brilliant. Keep up the good work... Great. It is hard to find a panel beater in Oz as most car body shops have panel fitters. I've got a 1975 XB and collected a 'roo some time back and cant find someone to repair. They said they can repair it if I can locate a new guard, but these are now like not so common... Thanks again, will have a go myself.... Got nothing to lose... Cheers.
Hey bro, your videos are great . Many people around the whole world are using your explanations, including me. I was looking for some tips and tecniques to make my own restoration on my Ford F100. You help me to do this thing at all. thanks for that.
yup morts LOL Its a file, Its flat,(not half round or a rat tail,) and the cut is called bastard. and that word is stamped on the file . isnt the English language a F%#ked up thing ?
I am new to panel work and dent repair and after reviewing your videos decided to give your slap stick dent removal techniques on a mini clubbie a go , after paint removal on the roof and excess bog, it was covered in dents large and small, so after approx 15 hrs off slapping, the roof is almost back to original condition, as i have a phobia about to much bog and want to repair with a light cover and your techniques are great and have worked a treat. Keep up the excellent videos
i love traditiona skills and quality workman ship like this, i am a mechanic but this has inspired me to try some body repair work. I was surprised when i first saw that mudguard, recongised it straight away, my dad has 15 odd Lambrettas,
check out with your hand, just like the pros do:D he he, thank you for thid video im fixing a dent on my fathers van today and this really was a nice fix of knowledge and a nice mental preparation:D
Wow, what a great guide to panel beating, Im a novice myself, but have had heaps of practice over the years using scaffold pipes on blocked urea lines. Keep up the great work Restolad, do you offer unit standards?
Thanks a pantload!!! I have never worked metal, and I was hesitant. Now, I'm going to give it a go. I've got a beat-up old scoot, and the front fender is going to be the first part under the slapstick.

Great video! Went home and made a slap stick out of an old file. Bought a cheap set of dolly blocks one shaped like what you used, worked great! Removed lots of dents from old tractor hood. Very happy with the results and all thanks to watching this video. First time I ever tried anything like this. Thank you sir, much appreciated! Tulsa, Oklahoma.
mwahahaha! I just had to give you a thumbs up for making me laugh so much trying to read your comment in an aussie accent like you've spelt it (I'm from england). Joking aside - this is a great tutorial. A+++
Hi Mate, really appreciate your Vespa and Lambretta panel beating info - would certainly welcome more. You may end up with your own TV show one day! Cheers!
Great Video Restolad. Very well organized, Simple and to the point! I really like the Idea of making a File into a Slapper. Here in the States we don't do that, normaly we use an old leaf spring because they have the shape already in them. The File leaves a mark and that's especially Helpful.
Best of Luck with all your metal Shaping Projects! Keep the Videos coming.
THANKS! Restolad, that was mighty awesome! Truly an excellent video, complete with background on tools, dent theory, and, of course, getting the dent out. Plus it looks like you had fun while you were at it! I'm gonna make a kiwi slap stick and learn how to use it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge-- please give us some more! Sincerely, Bob.
I love this guy . Showed me , that I have been doing dent repairs incorrectly . Would like to see more from him . Maybe a series on public television .
Excellent video restolad. You clearly know what you're doing (and enjoy it too). You also presented the information in a well thought out manner, and you explain it well.
That could easily be an item on a TV show. Please make more. I'm subscribing.

Convex or a return sweep panel, can be planished,

You can also hammer on to the dolly from the inside of the panel. My dad and the older repair men would usually lead over the dent

mwahahaha! I just had to give you a thumbs up for making me laugh so much trying to read your comment in an aussie accent like you've spelt it (I'm from england). Joking aside - this is a great tutorial. A+++

Great Video Restolad. Very well organized, Simple and to the point! I really like the Idea of making a File into a Slapper. Here in the States we don't do that, normaly we use an old leaf spring because they have the shape already in them. The File leaves a mark and that's especially Helpful.
Best of Luck with all your metal Shaping Projects! Keep the Videos coming.

THANKS! Restolad, that was mighty awesome! Truly an excellent video, complete with background on tools, dent theory, and, of course, getting the dent out. Plus it looks like you had fun while you were at it! I'm gonna make a kiwi slap stick and learn how to use it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge-- please give us some more! Sincerely, Bob.

Excellent video restolad. You clearly know what you're doing (and enjoy it too). You also presented the information in a well thought out manner, and you explain it well.
That could easily be an item on a TV show. Please make more. I'm subscribing.
