Its a decent video but he didnt finish it.this type of video should be at least 10minutes long to give good detail.
Expert Village uh, a tape measure? How about the measuring system sitting underneath the vehicle. Probably not even used by their "quality body / frame men".
If the frame was bent the insurance company would total the vehicle anyways there would be no point in trying to fix it
Not enough body mechanics have proper I-Car training in repair procedures in North America. Cars are butchered and high-strength steels are rendered useless by improper heating and pulling creating weak points.
once the frame is bent, the car is shit, it will never be the same no matter how much you tape measure, you don't know the headaches i've endured trying to align a car that had a front end collision and the frame was "straightened"
uni body ftw
Autobody instructor here and everyone should know, frames and unitized bodies can be straightened easily and correctly but like with most things, their are correct procedures and processes to do it. With a proper frame staightener and devices, any frame can be put back to factory specs, like it never happened. I've done it 100's of times but knowledge is critical and you don't do it by hooking the car to a tree and measure with a tape measure.
OK. Some pretty harsh comments. In my defense, I had no control over the editing. This was filmed as almost one long sequence, and was cut by Expert Village where ever they saw fit. I did discuss advance measuring techniques, but it was cut out. FYI, I did not receive any money for this video. Any measuring system is only as good as the technican using it. I have seen frames ruined even when jigs were used! I also have seen metal men move from one shop to another with great frequency. Also for FYI, I have managed several body shops, and seen thousands of repairs, both good and bad. If you polled all of the body shops in America, you will find that only a small percentage has advance measuring systems. Technology is great if you can afford it, but only if the person using it has sufficent skill! To make issues worse, there are very few schools turnng out highly skilled bodymen! But I admit, if I had control over the video, it would have been very different! God Bless You All!
P.S. I'm down to 215lbs now. Thought you would like o know!
