It looked like at the 15:30 mark, you had the hinge assembled backwards, then a few seconds later, you had already corrected it for the next shot, but you never mentioned it. You should discuss those things, because I'm sure a lot of people assemble them backwards the first time :).

Hey now lookie here y'all, Jeff Ford and body professional Larry always do an excellent job with explainin' and such, showing us how to do things around the cars. • This here video is another fine example of great instruction and an important lesson in doing it easy, doing it right, and having fun as usual. • Mm-hmm, mighty nice. > QUESTION: Could y'all have replaced the pins and bushings without removing the hinge?
We recon that you was tryin' to E-ffect a southern accent. It's purdy good. That is sometimes a bit harder than just removing the whole hinge. Plus if you are replacing the hinge, you now know how to! =) ummm ya'll..
Hi Dennis, I have done one top hinge on the car but seems to increase the chance of a scratch. I would think that with having to drill the original hole out that removal would be necessary. These guys work together so good. I really think they have too much fun at times. Have a great day.
I suspect my pins could benefit from a bushing/pin replacement. But my Door Hinge Detent Arm & Rivet Kits (both sides) need to be replaced b/c the door does not stay open. The little ledges have worn down where it is supposed to stay open all the way and part way. If parked on a decline those heavy doors can do a little damage to unsuspecting passengers that are not used to holding the door open. I would guess that the springs probably need to be replaced too.
Less show and more go, the camera should of been aiming at the hinge removal and install, the pin must of been wrong if you had to cut it you also could of pre cut it and grind a point on it, you mention punch marks that someone prior did to increase the hole but it would actually shrink the hole because your spreading the metal.
Come on in! We are always looking for folk with both camera and editing skills. Pay sucks, but hey, it is great experience. Oh and this episode is 177...we're up at 520 now. We were learning. But please, come and show us how to do.
Seeing how the door alignment/adjustment tool is used will be fun to watch. And I am talking about using it one a car. Great show gentlemen.,
We are planning to do a Fast Break on the tool soon. And yes, we'll show the correct use of it. =)
gotta love the dude napping on the fender lol

Jeff here, I didn't realize that Larry had flipped it, otherwise I would have had him mention it. Good eye!
Great video guys! Naturally I have to do this to my Cosmo (stupid 40 year old hinge bushings) so it was nice to see the procedure.
Glad you like it! Love your stuff too!
Fun to see aaroncake in the wild!

@@superduty4556 It is still always weird to be recognized.
i needed to see how you adjusted the hinges ???
I'm pretty sure youo didn't watch the whole video since we start on the adjustments at 16:00 ish minutes.

+Christian Nelson In a case like that we'd recommend complete replacement.
Did you guys have to put the shims back behind the hinge or were you able to get the adjustment out of the hinge?
We did. And off camera Larry used the alignment tool. We'll do a special on that tool alone.
someday i hope my 1979 camaro looks that good.
Us too TLC!
It won’t because it’s a 79 lol
