A vintage Porsche RSK nose is axed clear through, straightened, gas welded (butt-weld), planished and metal finished to perfection, on camera, with no edits, a few simple hand tools, - and no fillers. Very good demonstration of fitting up for butt-welding.
(about 63 minutes)

Excellent! I learned a lot from this DVD. It clearly give me an idea and the courage to fix and repair a aluminum body. Thank you!
Almost a 5, could use a better menu and navigation. The video demonstrates in detail how to fix a major dent in an aluminum section. We actually see how the dent is made with an axe! And then he goes through the whole process of fixing it up right before our eys, where to hammer, where and how to file, how to weld it with an oxyacetylene torch, etc. (That's right, welding Aluminum with a torch)
The last 7 minutes are a small plug for his tools, and actually useful to watch too, because it gives an overview of the different tools and techniques.
The hammering technique and process is probably useful for steel too, so don't let that prevent you from renting the vid. I don't know if his welding technique can be applied to steel.
Kent White is one of my favorites.This is older, but clear and understandable. Nice to see work done by a pro, but makes it still feel within your grasp to handle it.
It was not bad -- a little outdated as far as how to do the repair, there are newer tools and ways of how to do the same thing but all in all it was informative
