1961 Cooper Type 53
Even if it’s not typical to see a racecar come into your shop for dent repairs, it does stand to reason that these types of cars would offer work for a PDR technician. As they say, “Rubbin’ is racin’.” And unless the car slammed into the wall at 200 miles per hour, or ended up at the bottom of a 10-car pileup, then chances are that common dents or dings will occur quite a bit.
In this 1961 Cooper, Michael was asked to remove a crease in the hood panel, and found the work to be quite easy thanks to the large access points at the wheels. The bigger challenge was with the paint, as it was fairly brittle and could have cracked easily if not careful. The metal on some of these classic bodies can be quite sensitive as well.
Great care was taken on this repair, and another satisfied customer is running around in circles once again.
