Great stuff covered in this video. Getting those fenders aligned can be a pain. Pinch welds I've always clapped a piece of angle iron to them and hammer against it. Normally flattens right out.
Man both my lower fender mounts look like that drivers side! Lol Previous owners jacking on those pinch welds does a number on them. Appreciate the vid im gonna need to tackle those soon! 👍
Great video. Sadly I was in a jam and stupidly ended up putting a jack under the fender bolt and messed up fender alignment exactly as you described on my GT. I'm going to see if I can fix it this weekend. Also can you do a video on removing or installing the side skirts?
My pinch welds have been through hell. I bent them back best I could a couple days ago with vise grips and a Cresent wrench.. just worked it a little at a time. And hit it with spray paint to help protect the bare metal were paint was chipped. Really sucks people don't know the proper lift points
Awesome👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Demonstration this something I didn’t know 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍most of these car at least 29 yrs old so should be expected for age these cars great tips
Few more tips for any of you guys. If your pinch welds are jacked up bad you can also use a bigger adjustable wrench. Something 10 inches or bigger will give you the leverage you'd need to bring em back in. Also with adjusting the fenders. You ALWAYS tighten the bolt down at the rocker first. Work your way up the door gap and then towards the headlight. Always do it in that direction and never tighten bolts until you've threaded all the bolts in to start
you don't have what you need to do this stuff?...lol....yeah ya do...lol.....your a pro already man .....you see the shine in those cars you painted ......shoot brother man .....killing it!!! in fact you can come paint my 85 one weekend man ....lol.....3 strep paint job ...murder red....
The design / engineering is the problem, who's the dumbass that thought it would be ok to lift a 3,000 lb. car on a unibody that's 14 gauge material ??? The cut-out for the scissor jack is right under the fender adjustment bolt, had to fix mine after past owner jacked it up. GREAT VIDEO BREW2L !!!!!!!!!!! ... I used angle iron for my sub-frame connectors, ROCK SOLID DESIGN !!!! I don't worry anymore concerning a jack location.
Both my fenders are jacked up from all us back in the day. Good tips!
This is the best video about this specific issue on the internet. I had no idea a punch and a hammer could make such a different on those pinch welds.
Great video. Now its got me wanting to straighten my pinch welds

Also can you do a video on removing or installing the side skirts?
Do you have a video showing how to install the upr super charger powerpipe and cutting that hole?
Great video I was thinking about a slide hammer on that hole but the strap worked well
