Adjusting an aftermarket fender to get the hood gap right.

- Here is quick trick to adjust your hood if there is no adjustment and the rear needs to come up a little. Aftermarket parts don't always fit perfect but with a little work, they can look like they did. #shorts
That isnt an aftermarket fender, its a junkyard used fender.
So, if I put an aftermarket fender on a car, it becomes used and is no longer aftermarket? That was the case with this one. Good to know in your world, aftermarket parts stop being aftermarket upon installation. I guess I can just claim all my parts are used then. LMAO
@@vehcor might as well quit your job. There's a new body man in town. 😅🤣🤣
@@vehcor actually, I spent my time in the body shop and im quite a fine painter. Aftermarket parts are new reproduction parts made for a particular vehicle but not made on the same jigs and stamping/forming tools the OEM parts were made from. Thus, ill fitting parts, misaligned and tampered door and hood gaps and the like. If you needed to bed the hinge or the area it bolts up to to make a part align to a fender, it isnt the fenders problem. That fender you got from a junk yard, its dented and rusted, id be pissed if it were sold to me as aftermarket.
I am aware of what an aftermarket fender fits like. Hence why I had to adjust it to fit. Yes, it was used, it was an aftermarket replacement from the first time the junkyard truck was wrecked, not OEM. To say a used part cannot be aftermarket is just ignorance and nothing else. Had it been an OEM replacement or the original fender, it would have fit much better. Now that you have all the info, you should see why you are wrong. The cause of the bad fitment was not that it was used but that it was aftermarket. I hope you learned something.
That's called plug and play. You PLUG it in and PLAY with it until it works. Thanks for the video, Scott!
The applause caught me off guard 😆
Scared the shit out of me
😂😂
Long ago a boss ordered a Fairmont station wagon. The hatch didn't shut right and seemed to leak. He took it back to the dealer and the body guy came out to the parking lot carrying a 6 ft 2x4, opened the hatch put the 2x4 across the opening near the top and pulled the hatch down, saying "every damn one these need adjustment". 2 pulls all was well.
I love your content i just finished repairing my 99 Silverado after hydroplaning into a dumptruck and your videos helped a ton
I’m starting to enjoy the midweek clips thanks Scott
Available at Scott’s GM Emporium.
And that's how a good body man fits a fender.Thanks for the refresher course🤗😎😎🤗
Most likely How General Motors Adjusted it During The Original Manufacturing Process!
Is that a snap on tool? What’s the part number? 😂
Your a Funny Man🤣🤣
Is this tool available in your Amazon store?
the best thing is, I refuse to believe that cheer was sound effect. I'm 100% sure those were noises from happy gnomes
The body shop I took my 06 Tahoe to tried to install an aftermarket fender (RF) that I provided. It hit the door and there was no way to adjust it that much. I then purchased an OEM fender and it went right on with great lines all around except for the hood sitting too high at the hinge area as before. BTW, it wasn't even a CAPA fender if that makes any difference. But, my hood sat too high on both sides even though the minor collision damage was down lower on the RF and the hood not affected. I ended up getting a new OEM hood, and again, it lined right up great all around.
As our freightliner body guy says. Smoke and mirrors with some tweaking...lol
After watching your videos I keep on getting tempted to send you a pizza one of these days it's going to happen lol
Good old flinstone collision body repairs
The only thing that aftermarket parts fit is the box they came in.
Well done Sir😂
😄
Love the applause
Doesn't help me but the cheering cracked me up!
Hey, I have lots of body adjustment tools like that!
Ah nice I've done this with doors for years👍
That brings back so many old memories Thank you could you finish there is still a bow And the gap is still wrong You're killing me here I'm a 60-year-old retired body man please I beg of you please. I was doing everything you do before it was cool on TH-cam right down to measuring everything Don't leave me hanging...
Genius that was awesome
Lol as soon as I saw the fixed hinge I knew a block of wood was coming out!! 😂
Awesome video can you do one to show how to do the same thing for the door to fender gap?
Ford assembly nj did that phenolic block trick 40 years ago I saw it.
That fit good for aftermarket!! Usually you have a gap big enough to drive a Buick in between..or there crooked as hell or to short ..to long.. floppy thin metal .. they sick outback by the door..show the 4times you put it on and off ..hog out the holes.. bent into submission!!😁..all for the same 2.3hr flat rate time as an OEM..lol
Very nice trick of the trade. Do you have a video of adjusting a door like that?
Unique, and Monique ...
brilliant, I have different size pieces of adjusting system pieces for exactly jobs like this, I wonder if you would be interested in stocking them for your amazon shop, I could offer prices you wooden find elsewhere and free plasters with every sale 😃
that's a 1980s factory Chrysler adjustment tool
Perfect job
The handclaps lol
Nice back on the plow truck.
wow 👏
You are talented..
Couldn't you have shimmed up the lower hood hinge bracket?
I learned that trick from watching body shop guys many years ago
Awesome 👍
I heard back in the 80s Chrysler use this on their doors for the k-cars
This dude's cool af. 👍👍😃
Mine need to be low on this exact side what could I do??
My gap it too high I need it to go down any idea thank you !
Love the shorts!
How do you adjust the trunk mine is a little off now , from opening and closing it over the years the trunk has struts there's no Spring.. It's off by may be a few millimeters ,,, closer on the left side then on the right side.. a Mazda six When I bought it wasn't like that.. I did add foam insulation to damp in the vibration of the stereo speakers but I think that made the difference it's from opening and closing it so much I do it maybe three or four times a day sometimes more
You should have went to Brother for body panels
Perfect 👌👍😁👏👏
👉🇧🇷👍
Yup did that for year as a body guy . Cheaper fenders cost more in labor. Lol
you are so awesome always
What if it needs to come down?
Was this truck ever finished
What happened to the gap at the front? Did it magically align?
shhhh.... We don't talk about that
@@calholli Probably filed hole out a little Lol
Can’t wait to see this truck. Might actually want to buy it.
Is 2b a shop truck
I bet if he doesn't keep it someone has already bought it
You sound suspiciously like Eric O. from South Main Auto 🤔
Must be snap on wood block
I know someone who worked on the assembly line of one of the Big 3 he said they would do that in their quality control so chances are someone took a prybar and block of wood to your brand new car.
Everybody! Do the twist!
How do you fix a hood that’s too high in the back? Same kind of truck
If you figure it out lmk. Struggling with the same issue.
making fun...
Gaps so big I thought it was a Tesla for a sec

So I’m truly not asking this to be a jerk, I’m actually curious, because My car repair skills peaked with replacing my in-cabin air filter. If the fender doesn’t fit right, and the hood is adjusted to the height of the fender edge, doesn’t that throw off the other parts that do fit right?
No, hood is only four points square
@@ZEPRATGERNODT try saying that on a Saturday night😄
I stay away from anything aftermarket like the plague😆
So you don't like money.. that's cool
As far as collision damage, I absolutely agree with you. I purchased an 06 Tahoe with minor right front collision damage. I inspected on a lift, etc. with service people before purchasing. Nothing fit right. I finally just did everything OEM (RF fender, bumper, bumper brackets and hood) and everything fit great. So glad that part is over so I can enjoy driving it and fix up other things.
sometimes needs must terry, I'm sure non of us like Taiwan copies but beggers sometimes can't be choosers
hey what happened to this build?
I wanna know too
👍
Get rubber stops or get a 2500 hood
Metal bends????
wuh?
Hey mister Scott
I love your channel, but I absolutely HATE the "shorts" format.
I hate the format but do like it for the easy to make videos that have no effect on the performance of my other videos. I wish they could be filmed like a normal video, but they are meant for a phone so....
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

No shims on hand lol
Wasn't looking. Thought it was a guitar.
so i have to bend this hood. okay bet
Shit, the GM ones don’t fit for shit on the 99-07’s
Otherwise known as a " Persuader".
Thats a used fender and aftermarket or not this is standard when doing bodywork
Butcher !
Redneck science
Absolutely hate those style GM fenders and hood. You can adjust the hinge a little but those fenders dont move haha
