Killer two-weeks with Billy Mckinney. ⚔️

As an instructor, there are few things more rewarding than watching someone show up every day with a great attitude, an open mind, and a willingness to put in the reps. Billy did exactly that.

He stayed locked in. He asked questions. He listened. He applied what he learned. Most importantly, he understood that greatness isn’t built in one big moment—it’s built one day at a time, one lesson at a time, and one repetition at a time.

Each day built upon the last. The confidence grew. The understanding grew. The results grew.

That’s what happens when effort meets opportunity.

I’m proud of the progress he made in just two weeks, but I’m even more excited about where he’s headed from here. The skills can be taught. The mindset he brought with him is what will separate him from the crowd.

Billy, keep putting in the reps. Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep chasing excellence.

The journey is just beginning, brother.

Now WORK HARD and GO BE GREAT!

IMPROVE AND MOVE ⚔️

Today and I dropped the headliner on a brand new Toyota Forerunner and tackled a repair that had multiple shops quoting between $2,700–$3,000… with invasive repair methods, repainting, and replacement parts.

After backing out of his garage, the customer clipped the garage door with the roof rack and antenna area, mangling the metal right around the antenna opening. From the very beginning, this was one of those repairs that makes you stop and think… “Can this even be saved?”

The entire repair was at risk of oil canning the whole time. The metal was unstable. Sharp. Loaded with stored energy. But through methodical pushes, proper blending, controlled movement, and constantly re-distributing energy throughout the panel, we were able to restore the integrity and stability back into the roof while keeping the factory paint and original parts intact.

The customer rolled away relieved, excited, and proud of his vehicle again. Billy got to witness something important today too:

Not every repair is a quick “pop out.” Some repairs are like surgery. Long. Strategic. Methodical.

Today’s lesson and theme became:

IMPROVE AND MOVE.

Don’t get stuck fighting one tiny feature forever. Improve a zone… then move. Support the neighboring zone. Then come back. Because as metal changes, the surrounding structure changes with it. Stability gets rebuilt together, not one isolated spot at a time.

Push and keep the tool tip moving.Improve and move.

What a great day in the shop.

Today…door panel. ⚔️

Side panels require proper light placement, body placement, and head placement. Perspective is EVERYTHING in PDR.

I like to break the door down into 3 major sections:

1️⃣ Upper Brace / Cavity
Almost every vehicle has this section. The size and access holes may vary, but having a solid 3-piece upper brace tool set is killer. Those tools aren’t just useful for upper braces either — they’re also money in drain ports, fenders, and quarter panels. The Xcalibur sets are awesome for this.

2️⃣ Middle Section
This is where things start getting crowded. You’ve usually got your first open section followed by intrusion beams, carrier plates, window regulators, tracks, foam inserts, sound deadening, wiring… modern doors are PACKED.

Before repair even begins:
✔️ Put your window guard in
✔️ Use a wedge or double air jack
✔️ Create space
✔️ Inspect ahead with your light
✔️ Scope/camera if available

If the dent is in that sweet spot under the upper brace? Awesome. Traditional door tool behind the belt molding and get to work.

But if not? Time to disassemble.

Trim removal, carrier plate removal, glass removal… because once you open the door up completely, now you can throw the WHOLE kitchen sink at it:
🔧 Whale tails
🔧 Brace tools
🔧 Rods
🔧 Specialty tools

3️⃣ Lower Section
If the dent is below the intrusion beam, I’m already setting expectations with the customer:
➡️ Interior trim is coming apart
➡️ Extensive damage or body line damage? Door is likely coming OFF the vehicle and onto a stand

Why?

Because perspective matters THAT much. Looking flat across the panel changes everything.

is getting after it today in the shop and improving every single day. Proud of the work ethic and focus he’s bringing into this craft. 👊

Let’s have a great day today. Show me what you’re working on down in the comments 👇

And if you’re interested in in-person training, give me a shout. Let’s get you into the shop.

Week two. Day two.

And already, people walking through the shop are stopping to look at work with genuine respect. 👊

That should tell you something.

Growth happens fast when someone is coachable, disciplined, and willing to stay uncomfortable long enough to improve. Billy has been showing up every day hungry to learn, trusting the process, and stacking small wins one repair at a time.

The coolest part for me as a coach is watching that shift happen mentally. When someone goes from “I hope I can do this…” to “I KNOW this is possible.”

That confidence starts getting built through reps, breakthroughs, mistakes, corrections, patience, and discipline. One panel at a time.

Being great is no longer just a hope for him. It’s becoming his future. And that’s exciting to watch unfold in real time. Proud of this dude. He’s been doing a killer job. ⚔️

FIRST KNOCKDOWNS ⚔️

Most beginners struggle with knockdowns because they’re buying tools without understanding what each one is designed to do.

Broad movement…
Soft crowns…
Precision finishing…
Aggressive aluminum detail work…

Every tip has a purpose.

In this quick breakdown, I walk you through the knockdown spectrum and show you how to start building a foundation that actually makes sense — instead of randomly collecting tools.

The goal isn’t just buying knockdowns.

The goal is understanding CONTROL. 👊
