I finally found a guy who is willing to take on a very tough paintless dent removal job on the door of my original paint 1984 Monte Carlo SS. This all started back in 2019 when my neighbor's SUV rolled square into the door of my SS on Thanksgiving morning. Since then I've been looking for an exact door to match or even a donor car, with no luck. I even spoke to several other PDR companies, sent them pictures and NONE were even willing to try. PDR is an art which takes much skill to "pop" out dents and creases, and Tom and team we're willing to try their best on the SS. I was nervous as the paint is original, and the process or working the metal back out was going to be a long and tedious job due to the age and condition of the patina'd GM lacquer paint from 1984. Watch to see how Tom and crew did after a ton of hours of PDR on my SS. And stay tuned for part 2 of this mini series to see what troubles I encountered that evening...To be continued......

Definitely impressive. Especially considering he could glue pull anything. Most guys would want nothing to do with that job, as you found out. Glad he was able to make it presentable again.

Personally I would probably become that guys best salesman from that experience.

Agreed. Tom has shared the video and several car buddies have already inquired with him. He's and honest guy and put forth some amazing effort most wouldn't have even attempted.
Its not perfect but I wasn't expecting perfect. I wanted better and Tom delivered well beyond my expectations.

I was watching a Jay Leno video of the Chrslyer Jet car from the early 60s. It had original paint also and he discussed using a PDR guy to fix it up. Car looks great.

Here is the follow-up video to my last PDR video.


PART 2 after getting the driver's door repaired with paintless dent repair. What me and my Son, Enzo thought was going to be calm relaxing ride home turned into a drama filled evening. It all began with losing oil pressure on the highway home... You'll find out the issue and how we repaired it, kind of.....
