This guy's using a big pipe.

Why whould he use a pipe and a hammer instead of just a hammer? Doesn't the hammer have a smoother surface hitting the panel?

I thought it was odd that in the one BFH "mod" video on youtube, the guy was being pretty pro in it.

REAL pros smoke a cigar or pipe while doing this. Cigarettes are for amatures.

Try a heavy hammer. Also the smaller the hammer the worse your wheel well will look because the striking surface is small so it will leave many small circles. Use a big hammer and swing it like a man. The guy in the video would be better of holding the hammer at the end of the handle. It takes less effort to swing and you can do more work.

I heard you can wedge a baseball bat in between the tire and fender and you have someone slowly push the car foward to roll the fender.
