Another great episode! Keep them coming Kevin and Thank you Eastwood for making these video happen. Now go tell Matt to finish Pile House, our at least give us fans another update video.
Matt, with the help of a couple guys from our Research and Development team, is currently fabricating a tailgate for the truck. They've got some cool plans for it and the video will be released as soon as they're finished. Thanks for the interest.
Are these new replacement doors, or the original doors. Glad to see someone do this video . I have a 75 Camaro owned since 77. Getting ready to do my car.
On 1:30 the subframe end on the driver side looks like it is bent compared to the passenger side. I have the same "bent" subframe end on my trans am. Should the frame be that way from the factory or is it damaged?.
This was Great I had 1 question. After epoxy has lost 5 day window before applying filler do you need to re spray another coat or sand to metal in those spots?
I have a question. The aluminum bushings you installed. I'm on the understanding that it needs a rubber boot to keep the two metals from touching. As they will corrode quickly when in contact with moisture. Or does the anodized coating keep this from happening? ps. I would have been pissed if the host had been leaning that much on my musting
i am starting a new project in 2 months about from now. i ended up get a 79 z28 rs t top with full spoiler kit from factory o% rust then i got 2 z28 hard tops with no rust all have good bodies plus a extra front clip for a lt camaro same year . then i got a stroked 454 with the heavy duty 400 turbo with the bigger pump and heavy clutches with only 6000 miles on it .one hard top has new interior was a show car but they pulled the engine before i got it . on the t top i have all the parts to have a perfect body no dings the 2 have factory paint so i know what has been dun . this way the car will have a perfect body to start with . the best thing is i got all of it so far free even a set of nice custom wheels . the show car i help build 5 years ago i know everything that was dun to it so i mite just put it back on the road to sell it or trade for more parts
Here's a tip for you wrap 80 grit paper around a spreader card and rub your door gap down with that You can see the results with the door closed and makes gapping more precise
Hello Kevin tets in have been watching all your videos on epoxy resins, fiberglass fillers and specifically , I'm in the UK and have purchased some bodyalu filler 2k from eBay , bisides the smell it is incredibly strong, I was wondering if you have any tips on how to fill and spread with it , and also mixing tips with hardener , thanks for your clear advice in allow your videos, and your great sense of humour .
I'm putting aftermarket fenders on a '99 Dodge Ram plow truck. It seems that the front frame around the radiator is too high and the results are major gaps by the bottom of the doors. I shimmed the fenders up at the hinge, but have lost the body line. Any tips? Great channel. Thanks.
My argument is if a shopping cart hits that door hard enough to take painted filler off its gonna take paint off that metal edge. Either way that door is going into body shop. But still I like metal to edge same as him.
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks =)
question how much fender to door gap? the factory manual looks for around "gulp"1/4" anything less the door hits the fender at the top when fully open especially if i set it "flush"
Question: When you go to block the door and quarter do you do it as if this had not been done and just skim over it all? Or do you have to be careful not to block this area too much so you dont undo some if this work? Not sure if Im making myself understood. Great video though thanks!
You will block sand until it is the condition you want it. Sanding will reveal highs and lows, so there is a chance you will be into previous body work.
Question : @ 2:22 Kevin has a floor jack adapter to hold the Zed Sled car door. I cannot find this at Eastwood.com, and frankly do not know its exact name. It looks much better than a 4 wheel thing I have with a scissors jack under it. Part number?, name? source? Thanks!! PS Great Video guys , thanks for your help in the hobby

Thanks for the video Kevin . Very educational. I do have a question. I want to ask about the bracket that you had attached to your floor jack which was used to hold the door in place as you set the door up. Is this attachment bracket something that can be bought or something homemade. Looks like a winner to me! Thanks in advance..
+MsCelicagt4 Doesn't work that way. Body fit on 60's and 70's cars wasn't ever that great to begin with, and cars flex / shift with time and use or abuse.
That was one of the most valuable segments on panel gaps I have ever seen, Thank you Kevin .

Thank you! Learned so much! Can’t wait to get going
Great info Kevin. The gaps look nice all the way down now.

Eastwood you guys are AWESOME! I follow each and every one of your videos! Kevin keep up the great work!
Great video! Thanks.
Great video and nice way to explain it all.
Are these new replacement doors, or the original doors. Glad to see someone do this video . I have a 75 Camaro owned since 77. Getting ready to do my car.
One of the best videos i have watched on auto body work!😊
..except the time when no respiratory system was used when sanding the body fillers😕
On 1:30 the subframe end on the driver side looks like it is bent compared to the passenger side. I have the same "bent" subframe end on my trans am. Should the frame be that way from the factory or is it damaged?.
Nice job can`t wait for the next episode
Best company and very highend products 👍
awesome! will be doing some of this soon.
Working on same body,, it just takes time.

I was with you up to the point where you used your finishing hammer as a maul....
I love the Black finish on this as it is..I want to do my charger that colour. .Is that satin black or a kind of flat? .
It's primer
Itd called primer mate

Do you have a part number for that door dolly that goes on a jack. Thank you
I like the bodywork tips - seems like there will always be more to learn. The SEMA stuff should have been separate from the bodywork how-to though.

@Crew Karson definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
@Crew Karson Yea, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
I wish there was a youtube video showing how to fix gaps with weld and leading only and no fillers.
Really good video, thanks. Who is this guy?
Can i door spoon where the door meets the fender?
EXCELLENT !!!
So how do fill a door gap that is far apart
It's Bob ross!! Happy Lil filler. Lol
Thought I might be the only one to get that reference!
Lol
omg...where is part 8? What should I watch next?

what did you use for the floor boards did you primer then paint ? did it say or did I miss it

Good Deal!!! Thanks for the infoation and replying !! Merry Christmas!!!
Information , sorry
Well I’m glad to see it a Ford motor in a Ford makes sense to me
Anymore showing details on interior
The only concern I would have is the filler chipping as the door is opened and closed (Impact Area).
be careful
It's not like the edge is impacting anything though, just the latch inside.
If you hit something your paint will chip anyway. Why are people so braindead.

I'm not sure as to why you need to panel beat and fill a door which is manufactured originally for this car. Surely it should fit if aligned properly.
+MsCelicagt4 Doesn't work that way. Body fit on 60's and 70's cars wasn't ever that great to begin with, and cars flex / shift with time and use or abuse.
+vr6swp I see, Thanks for explanation. Didn't think of that.
Cooooooolll...
That mustang is great
so if u ever drove and it started raining u would suck water into ur intake while also destroying ur air filter.
That mustang. I a chevy guy and that mustang makes me drool. Those tire are huge . Beautiful car.
I like shitty factory 🏭 gaps
Remind me to not let Tommy work on my cars... cross threads are only signs of lazy or incompetent workers.
Crossed treads are stripped threads.
I have a habit of chasing threads with a tap, just to be sure.. does that sound excessive?
