His explanation of what he does is excellent, anyone who can turn a wrench could understand. That little spot welder/puller dohicky is pretty cool, I've used one with nail sized weld on studs and a slide hammer, but the keys and bridge are perfect for the slightly thicker than tinfoil that the newer stuff is made from. I can't imagine all that single wall stuff accessible from both sides too. I always had other people around to do bondo, and used 2 colors of primer over it to detect and sand out the tiny stuff. For awhile I had a shop with anchor points in the slab and a collection of steel bits to pull uniframes around, mostly did old Volvos and they were no fun at all, harder to straighten a frame than a lot of trucks. When I gave up that rental the landlord was happy to see all the concrete repair, little did he know most was from anchors I pulled out.

He's got some great tools to use. Never seen anyone tack on keys, insert a rod, and use a bridge puller to pull it out. Whomever came up with that is a genius! Unless the car was a showcar, or the owner was a rich client, most would not do such meticulous work. Instead, they'd be slathering on the Bondo (what we used to call filler in decades gone past). I've seen some places apply it pretty thick. They did a great job on the creased rocker panel! I'll never do any autobody work again, but having the right tools certainly helps! Thanks for posting that, 1dave!
