The confidence you give me, while working on my own project, is unmatchable. Thanks Fitz!

I was working at a Chevy dealer back in 78. A guy came in with his brand new Silverado. The door was sagging a little and wanted if we could correct it. I said sure pull it in. You should have seen his face when I went to my box and came back with my 2lb hammer!😮😂 I sprung the bottom hinge and it fixed right up! He was sweating it at first!😂 Great memories!😊

I enjoy watching a man that knows his trade and shares his tricks and tips. This ole car come a long long way since you've been working on it. Just taking care of the body lines themselves and the gaps makes the car not look like an ugly duckling anymore, now it's starting to look like a pretty decent cruiser.

Old car is looking better all the time. The inspector approves also.

Sometimes the biggest battle is just trying to figure out how to do 2 man jobs by yourself, a guys really got to get creative sometimes to get stuff done 👍

[@thegarageetc]

the progess is incredible, from where that car was to now....I can't imagine the owner of the car seeing his car in the video and getting exited with the progress, it must be an amazing feeling. Thanks Fitz for another amazing video.

Great video! Looks excellent….you make it look so easy. I know you have to adjust door to 1/4 first as the 1/4 ain’t moving, but, on something like this you had to make your 1/4 lip and then fit the door…….fantastic approach to a tough repair.

[@thistlelee]

A lot going on adjusting doors . As an ameteur builder, I fell into all the traps you mentioned when building my '68 Chevelle. I learned a lot here, Tony.

Hi Tony. Nice work getting the door, fender and quarter panel aligned! You make it look easy!

[@mrgrumps3062]

So easy when you break it down like that your a good teacher Fitzee.

[@buannajim8091]

It's always such a pleasure to watch how your mind works with making these repairs, Tony. Thanks for the tips!

[@jgwilliams5951]

Always a good evening when I can watch and learn from your tips and experience . Now I just need to work on my memory .

[@carlosmontoya8658]

Mr. Fitzgerald, your mechanical mind melding with metal manipulation meets many men's manifest machinations. Whew, that was tough!

[@spamwagon]

An issue like this can be a bit confusing as far as in what sequence you address the fitment of the door & fender. I have the same issues on my '49 Styleline, so this has been very informative for me. Thanks for posting! New subscriber.

The great start to the weekend. A vid from Tony. 😊

[@Pancho-villa666]

I say , 40 + years of know how here. No 20 something body guy could match your expertise . VERY WELL DONE !!

[@glenmiller3783]

Fixing other peoples messes can be real challenging. Nice job Tony

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was amazing to watch the gaps come right into where you want them.Thanks for the tip on the door hinge. I have to remember that one.

[@michaelvandenhoy1021]
