      The car in the video is mine. And NO Frank wasn't joking. But look at the finished product and I think you'll agree it worked!!

      Makes perfect sense if you think about it. I'm only guessing but I am betting the curvature of the fender was wrong. So you have to change the whole radius. It is pretty funny though if you have no idea just how bad repo body panels can be. It's going to look a lot worst before it looks better

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Oh, that is a insult if there ever was one! Here I do a serious technical HOW TO video and what do I get? Don't come cryin to me when you have a inside out fender! It took a lot of years to perfect this process. And it took at least 100 cars before I figured it out!

      I prefer a 10LB sledge, 12LB is a bit to heavy! And use Pressure Treated Pine (no oak as it is to grainy), pressure treated pine has a chemical which adds a lubrication that helps prevent scuffs.

      Truth be known, the hardest part is finding someone brave enough (or dumb enough) to hold the board while you swing a sledge at him!

      Matt, our brave bodyman in the video, was a little worried about bodily damage. I am just not sure if he was worried about damage to the cars or his own body

      Does the brand of hammer matter?
