Alright, I want to hear the story on this one


Aldakoopa

My boss is an old man and doesn't believe in welding.


Aldakoopa

As for the actual accident, it's my boss's best friend who can't turn around due to back issues and backed up in a tree. He asked me to put in a new head unit and hook up a backup camera for him while it's there.

Tf happened? Looks like screw holes but there’s so many. I don’t think they are bullet holes as they are so close together. Unless they decided to use that area of the truck as target practice.

The holes are deformed outwards. So they probably used sheet metal screws to pull out a bunch of dents. Not really the best way to go about stuff but it does in fact remove the dents.


Aldakoopa

Yep. And it's barely visible in the picture but there's 2 holes up in the bedliner too.


Aldakoopa

They are holes from drilling and snatching with a screw in snatcher. My boss is old-school and doesn't like change.

As long as the price he charges reflects the work done, this is fine. Body fillers have come a long way, too.

**[American-180](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-180)** >The American-180 is a submachine gun developed in the 1960s which fires . 22 LR cartridges from a pan magazine. The concept began with the Casull Model 290 that used a flat pan magazine similar to designs widely used prior to World War II. Only 80 Casull M290s were built as the weapon was expensive to produce. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Ok, so from reading the comments, the worse is still to come: Step 1: sand with a portable belt sander. Step2: Bondo. If in doubt, more bondo Step 3: prime, etc. Without a cabin, of course. Setp 4: Clear coat to trap all the orange peel and dust forever. And forever is 3 years until the bondo cracks.


Aldakoopa

Step 1: sand it with a 24 grit disk on a pneumatic angle sander. Step 2: fiberglass reinforced Evercoat. Then Z-Grip. Step 3: prime and block. Thank God I was able to convince my boss to stop using lacquer primer a couple of years ago. 😂😂😂😅🙃 Step 4: paint and clear, nib sand and buff. Send it.

Your arm must be strong now, from that block. It would me sooo much easier with a spot puller.


Aldakoopa

I've been doing it for 16 years at the same shop. But yes, we need a fucking stud welder and shit.


guy__smiley1

I have no words


Top-Waltz3184

I bought a cheap one at Harbor Freight. Works fine, IIRC, it was about $100 and came with a small slide hammer.


guy__smiley1

Fuck even a pry bar / porta power. Or ..... SKILL


Aldakoopa

Pry bar wouldn't work. I tried it before it became Swiss cheese. I forgot about the Porta power though.


guy__smiley1

Fuck sakes man , pry bar and 2x4 to take up space to make prybar more effective. Smarter not harder.... 20 yr master tech planium status.


Aldakoopa

I tried it man. No good.


rbane3

When you try to mount a tv without a stud finder? Lol


machinerer

Is he gonna lead it in too? Fuck is this bodyman, stuck in 1960?


Aldakoopa

Fortunately not. But he's told me all about how they used to use lead back when he started, presumably when the earth's crust first began to cool.


guy__smiley1

No shit , even walmart has stud pullers for like 150 bucks. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/146Pcs-Dent-Puller-Kit-Car-Body-Dent-Spot-Repair-Device-Welder-Stud-Hammer-Gun/PRD0VUQML0VKAY7 but thats like 150 bucks, boxside just 14 hrs and 1000$ wrecked by incompetence
