You probably know this already , get a spot weld drill bit saves a lot of stress and cheaper in the long run

Holly cow! Talk about a heart attack, I watched my buddy pull the door trim on the other door. I was screaming the whole time to my self as I trust him. He used two putty knifes and a body hammer with a touch of heat. ? Now he is playing with my practice parts that I messed up awhile back on metal finishing them and light sanding a polishing them to fix the last 49 years of damage and scratches

Heat was to loosen up the glue, the putty knives were to spread out the force when prying. It's amazing how easy a good body man makes it look.

Started to strip hood the whole thing was skimmed with bondo looks like three or four different repairs Can't believe no one dug this out before me Here is one of the three big dents that I got out had to heat shrink Now the fun begins in the front lip area We popped up about a dozen little dings with heat and filed them down over all not to bad except the front that is rusted

I have used it several times now, I sat on it to pull my car off the trailer and also to stand on to reach across the roof area lol
