- Hey, this is Donny Smith and welcome
to another Eastwood video series.
In this video series, we're working on a Mustang
and we're showing you the steps that we're taking
and we're using a lot of the Eastwood products.
You can visit our friends with Eastwood
by clicking right here.
Now in this video we're going to show you a tool that we use
and this is a tool that can be used, it's not a PDR method
but if you are painting the car, it works great for like
hail damage, you know, something that's too deep to just
apply body-filler on top of,
or door dings, things like that.
Works really well and we're gonna show you how to use it.
Now, in a lot of the videos it's one person,
it's me showing you the steps.
This is a little bit harder 'cause we got several people
working on this car so it's hard to go through each step
from start to finish, so we've got several things going on.
In this video we're just gonna go to different things.
The main focus is how to use this tool
for dents, hail damage, and stuff like that.
We have different things going on and we have
one of the students, Sam, he's gonna kinda be narrating
part of this and he's doing the camera while we all work.
We're not professional video editors,
but I do think you'll enjoy the video so just bear with us.
Alright, well let's get started.
I think you'll agree that this is a cool tool
that you may want to try yourself.
- [Sam] Here's an overview of the work that we've done
from start to finish on this beautiful '03 Mustang.
It's in a kind of rough state right now
but it will soon be better.
Working away like busy little bees.
- [Donny] Okay, now Becca's removing the paint using a DA.
All the paint has to remove so we that can use
a stud welder gun, now there was a little spot
in the center that the DA couldn't get to,
so I'm just gonna use some sandpaper by hand
to remove that paint.
Put a nail right in the center here, the center of it.
Put it on for about a second and a half
then we'll put that on the nail
and just raise it slightly.
'Cause this has to touch the metal and so does this,
this is like the ground right here.
We're gonna get the center of the nail
right in the center there and touch that
and then hit that button about that long.
- [Becca] Okay.
- Put it on there, don't put it on there too hard
so we can take it off easy, now this just slides
on top of here, and then you just raise it slightly.
Okay, that's probably enough.
Now we have another dent that Becca is pulling out,
this is on the other side, and she puts a stud nail
in the center of that dent,
it's gonna use this tool to raise it.
- [Becca] Is it...?
- [Donny] Did you give it a little pressure?
- [Becca] Yeah.
- [Donny] That's probably enough, none of them take a lot.
- [Becca] I can see it pulling out, I shouldn't a--
- [Donny] I think that's good.
I think we're gonna get that one off.
- Now if the stud doesn't twist off
like I've showed you in other videos,
you can use a grinder to grind the remaining portion of the
stub. - [Sam] What's the process
of taking off the hood?
How many bolts are holding it on?
- Two bolts on either side.
- I just got done pulling the deck lift off of this...
(electric power tools buzzing)
Now I'm pulling the hydraulic lid assistors.
- [Donny] And why are you doing that?
- So that we can paint it all separately.
See all these dents right in here?
We gotta paint all those too, and we gotta paint all along,
so we gotta have the deck lid off so we can get to it easier
- [Donny] Where are you going to put it?
- We're putting body putty on to
cover the small dents, seal 'em up,
and then we'll sand that down and we'll weld it out.
- [Sam] Donny, what are you doing?
- See this door? Gonna start taking this door off.
The door stand you can use with a jack makes it
a lot simpler, you can jack it up,
adjust this from here, then you can roll the door off.
- [Sam] Alright, Logan, tell me what you're doing.
- I'm not doing anything right now.
- [Sam] That's nothing new.
(mechanics discussing the car)
- [Sam] Alright Logan, what are you doing here?
- Taking the door off.
That's really all I'm doing, I'm taking the...
There's four bolts on the hinges, two on each hinge
that you have to take out, use a--
use a 13-millimeter socket.
- I'm using their...
- [Sam] Who's it by?
- Eastwood.
- I am Scotch-Briting some dirt out of these.
You want them to see? Sorry it's kinda rough in here.
We've got Eastwood Wax & Grease Remover for our paint prep
in there, and trying to loosen up some of
the grease and dirt while we Scotch-Brite it.
- [Sam] Is it working?
- [Logan] It is working excellent.
- [Donny] Got a flashlight?
This car didn't have a plug for the wiring
so we're having to remove every plug individually.
Well, that wraps it up for this video.
I know we had different things going on,
different students doing different jobs,
kinda had multiple things going on at the same time
but the main focus of this video
is just to show you that tool and how that works,
how it raises that dent out, and it's really neat.
I think that's maybe something that you wanna try.
Like I mentioned, it's not a PDR tool.
It does have to be ground to metal or sanded to metal
because you have to use a stud welder gun
to weld one of those studs on there.
But it raises the dent really nice
and it's not a new tool, it's been out there for a long time
and if you've used one, I'm sure you'd agree
that you do like using this tool.
And if you haven't seen it?
Well, that's what this is all about,
showing you some of the things that we use
that works well.
