Question; You know whats better than doing body work? Answer; watching someone else do it. Keep up the good work.

One of the few channels that I hit the like button before the video even starts. Always great content. My days of whole car work has passed but I am going to tackle rockers this summer on my daily driver. Thanks

Excellent tutorial Jon! This will help a lot DIYers and absolutely helped me with low spots.

Great introduction/foundation for intermediate experienced DIYers, showing some good behavior and tips, some that I have forgotten after 100 years in the business.

I still guide coat EVERYTHING. I trust my hands, but rely on my eyes. Your long block never lies.

Great work, as always Jon

really good info passed on Jon! I love body work! your approach and techniques are spot on and I really like the tip about locking in the door with the left over filler. Gonna add that to my bag of tricks. Thanks for sharing brother

As a guy who's doing bodywork for the first time, I struggle with feeling out the low spots. That tip for using a microfiber towel works like a charm!
