hello world PDR coming at you here with a 2005 Subaru Outback a real nice car

for a real nice guy but it's got a collision dent I think this thing went

all the way down judging by the scratches the side of the car there's a

little bit of dented area here but obviously we're talking about the dent

that starts down here goes all the way through this thing if we analyze this

dent and good actually goes up to about here has some weird brows a little scuff

right there I buffed out some of this scuffs I got this plastic panel kind of

released out just if I need to give myself some more room I can a little bit

more Subarus are real nice like that so what I want to do is start by most

likely well start by saying I sure do appreciate everybody that clicks on this

video I really do that's that's the most important thing we you know we do this

for entertainment purposes but we're not doing this for uh you know to prove

anything or to show how cool we are we're just trying to help and show

anybody you know maybe a DIY er maybe another tech what what you're gonna do

to get a dent like this out oh no this is collision obviously hopefully you

guys can hear us okay I've got the microphone on and got the meditation

music goin the reason why I put this tape here is we are out here in the

elements it's pretty cold and I'm gonna warm this panel up and I don't have a a

heat gun plug I don't have a plug that I can plug into so I'm gonna end up doing

this and this I've done it on a few videos and then done it many many times

over the years but I would never ever suggest anybody

taking a torch to paint unless you know exactly what you're doing with it

I'm very fortunate that I have never burnt paint but see if you see what I'm

doing here when you hit something that's really cold and you see that foggy well

then you know you're in the right spot get it warm and then keep on touching it

and only give it like one half of a second worth of flaring of that so what

I'm gonna end up doing guys is I think spending some time on this one getting

it really warm tapping down this brow right here while giving it a slight tug

maybe even have my Squishy back here you notice that this flange is going if you

see this flange right here it's going down well it's got to go flat just like

all the rest of them so I've got to basically get that flange folded back up

while pulling on this get this right on in here and I don't want to just go in

here and make pushes because that would be really bad I want to kind of get some

tension on that break the tension down as as I'm keeping it warm might even

want to grab my r32 cherry tip right here and cherry tip some of this

highbrow out might even want to get it really warm and put my hands behind here

and give it a nice Yank but either way before we do that we're

gonna get it nice and warm we're gonna take the tension out of this metal and

I'm probably gonna have some more of my coffee here and it looks like a big dent

I planned about two hours for this in total and guys I don't plan for this one

to come out a hundred percent I plan for this one to come out looking good you

know what I mean the difference between the smashed and fender and an arm

smashed in fender and yes I probably will take the time and do a little bit

of this work right here cuz I can just stick my number-one tool right up

underneath it and I'm all over that fender all I got to do is put my board

on the other side now see where I'm at so I think what we'll do is we'll

transition into some speedy some other type of work but other than that we will

definitely come back to you and show more of the process and how we get this

dance looking good just a bit

okay guys we're back um we got a lot of this body line out and you can see it's

really wavy I didn't crack any paint yet no yet hopefully never right keeping it

real warm with the torch and there's this big high brow got a lot of it out

it wants to push it goes all the way into back here and I was even back here

and grab my number one sneak on back to that little area and try to get some of

that out because that's holding this dent in a little bit and that's a pretty

severe little area did a lot for it I made some weird pushes over here I was

thinking I was going to actually move this metal but I didn't so we're gonna

tap these down I thought I'd just bring you guys in for a medium to you know

almost to that finish work point I mean once I get these things all flattened

down and this line nice and straight I'm gonna be doing finish work but right now

we've got some brows still we're just going through and taking out the brows

really singing that tension and like I always say take it real slow guys this

is this is a large dented collision style danton's one of the highest level

difficulties it's a Nidoran and so I'm just trying to get it warm

like I say this torch method I wouldn't suggest to anybody unless they are very

familiar with putting a straight torch on paint

and I wouldn't say it's been super warm either just getting it up to about that

90 or 95 just under a hundred mark it's still cold to the touch not even cold to

the touch just slightly warm to the touch and I'm gonna do everything I

possibly can with squishy just to keep minima minimizing the amount of push

marks so I think where I'm gonna start is right up here and just run this line

down I know I've got some weird little pushes up here that look funky but I

have to get the tension out of that metal down here to be able to bring up

this line all the way through and it's a slow process guys this line I'm just

babying it I'm just going down the line and giving it tiny little pushes all the

way through a lot of tension in this metal but once we get this line nice and

flush we're gonna have a lot easier time tapping down those little ridges and

brows so yeah I thought I'd bring you guys in for a little bit and hopefully

you guys are enjoying this dent I am it's a nice day and then out here doing

what I love doing so yeah make sure you guys hit us up with a thumbs up and like

the video throw a positive comment down below we always like to see the comments

and I think what I'm gonna do now is

pull my board off the car we show the reels it gets really close to this with

the board so I can see that little weird area and just see if I can move any of

that metal right now my finger and my tool are right in the same spot I'm just

kind of gonna manipulate that middle out and these are some pretty hard pushes

I'm making right now but I don't want to go nutso on it because we don't want to

crack any paint and we don't want to make any push marks

so now I'm up here at the very top edge of that football just sealing it up and

it looks like if you guys are watching everything with the with the board and

everything you can see every push well so can I that's the whole point but once

we get it to the point that it's flush and we can tap down those little tiny

push marks and take the board off then it'll end up looking really nice without

without having those push marks and then we pull the board off you can hardly

even see anything so that's what we're going for I think we'll come back and

show you the end result here in just a bit but what we're going to do is keep

at it same thing I've been doing tapping the brows down moving those lows out and

getting this dent out I think it's coming out nice so we'll come back to

you and show you the end result in just a bit

okay guys we're back this is pretty much exactly what I promised the customer

like I said it's not gonna be a hundred percent perfect a little bit of waves to

it obviously the damage in the paint is gonna stay he does have the touch-up

paint not here though or he's ordered it or something like that so usually if a

customer has the touch-up paint there's a couple little tiny little scratches

I'll always do what I can to you know touch him up I have a steady hand and

you know I can use a little corner the paintbrush that they usually provide and

do that but I will let the customer do that on their own and I think we did

pretty good this was a real severe high brow I even got back here and took out

some of this part you saw we had it all torn apart and I've used the torch for a

lot of the heat work but the main goal was to get this out without breaking any

paint which we did we recreated this body line and right down here at the end

I wouldn't say it's a definite body line right here I mean I'd say I kind of

stopped because when you get right down to the end and you make those pushes on

this highly metallic paint you have a real chance of fracturing the paint no

matter how warm it is so once again we just did what we could you know I buffed

out some some scuffs wife he went and buffed the headlights made him look nice

yeah and I think the customer got their value out of this one and what we're

gonna do is just do a couple for free now cuz he's got a couple actual little

dancing we'll just go around take a couple of them out for free but other

than that this is the big one of the day so if you guys like what you see you

know sheriff's on your social medias um hit us up with a like please we sure

appreciate that and you know other than that hey I'll just say the thing this

has been PDR in the mouth piece
