Didn't expect it to be super extensive, so in that sense I was certainly not let down. He goes into how to use a hammer and dolly to get dents and such out more than anything else, with a little bit of info on using body filler. He seems to be fairly knowledgeable on basic bodywork, but certainly no expert. I was really hoping he would cover a few more things, but overall a decent video for beginners only who really know nothing. If you've ever done body work at all, don't bother.

I really cannot honestly recommend this video to anyone. His first one was OK, but this one isn't anything like the first and really isn't very good. The first half hour or so is merely an advertisement for some automotive store down where he lives, where he gives you a tour of it and pretty much plugs it. Next 10-15 minutes is another advertisement of sorts where he visits a chemical dipping shop where he looks at cars in various stages of cleaning. Note: this is COMPLETELY counter-intuitive to the purpose of these videos, to do it yourself. After that, he has someone else cut off and weld on a new rear quarter, because as he says himself, he isn't very good at that. A few long scenes showing some minor bodywork, a little bit more body filler, and him priming parts of the car WITHOUT any protection at all. NOT recommended, especially for beginners. Get a good book or find an actual person to teach you, you will learn so much more than this video.
