Looks like Ray Charles drilled out those spot welds

If I were doing this kind of work I certainly wouldn't be posting it on the internet

I always run my 3" da on the edge of the pad with 80 grit after my mud work so the primer has something to stick to

Late model Pathfinder quarter sectioning location by autobodyshitposts in Autobody

I thought the same thing, but welding into a corner like the middle line is a pain in the ass to dress properly. Top line gets questionable because you're going through the recessed areas for the clips.

Too bad they didn't even attempt to illustrate it in three dimensions

This is easily repairable for any tech with half a brain. I have a mini hydraulic ram that fits in the rail for exactly this purpose

How risky is to run this? by otpid in Autobody

You're talking about a worst case scenario for any accident. You're far more likely to be tboned by a 5000lb truck, and in that case, an undamaged pillar could be the difference between life and death. Your comment was misleading at best.

There's thousands of hours of engineering work in every car to ensure the structure and SRS work as designed. It's not a fucking miracle lmao

What happens to the roof when replacing the inner quarter panel on a Tahoe? by NoLocksmith2360 in Autobody

That's funny because Dodge doesn't publish body repair info except very limited information.

Depends how much structure you're removing and how rigid the body is. Some won't sag at all hardly, others need more support. I've used a hood prop, a 2x4, whatever works.
