Metal Shop Tech: Working Panels Straight With An HTP Stud Gun Video V8TV

In the old days, one could pull dents by drilling holes in panels and yanking them out with a slide hammer. Today, tools like the HTP Stud Setter allow you to not only pull dents without leaving holes in them, but also to shrink metal and install trim studs with the same tool. (Anyone restoring a muscle car knows what a pain replacing those welded-on trim studs can be!) Here, Nathan Newberry takes us through the process of fixing some dings in a hood structure with the HTP tool.

Nice to see that you guys are working on the S71.

I used to do body work long ago when we had to drill holes.

This tool alone makes me want to get back in to the business.

I know that is not related to this particular video but I want you to ask, what is your opinion on engine balancing, it is worth it? I mean is something that you feel the difference afterward or is only for engine longevity?. Thanks
