    I received my 71 Cheville r. fender last week from = Jeggs = AMD. bottom of front of fender was rolled under 4 inches, right in the middle of the bodyline was a dent about 1/4 inch deep about the size of 1 1/2 of my hand... then 5 inches down , from the top of the sharp top edge there was a dent right on the edge next to the door , about 1/2 inch in and anout the size of my hand. I have been an auto body man since 73 full time ... this is the worst part , out of hundreds I have received new in a box. Still waiting on the L fender some time in June !!!!!!!! I start from the front because I 'm also welding in rear quarters last lining the deck last..

    • @turboflush

      Size tap depends on size of stud. This why they didn't say.
      Patience is key when removing a stud. Heat and penetrant oil couple bumps.. let it soak in.

    Might have had a better chance to remove the stud if you heat it, and quench it with water rapidly 2 or 3 times, then move onto your Visegrips.

    @salvageman1983 3 роки тому +1

    I've was in the auto salvage business for 50 years and removed countless broken exhaust manifold bolts. You did that all wrong. I always heat the manifold cherry red keeping the heat off the stud. Any heat on the stud softens the metal and it will twist the broken stud just as you did. After I heat the manifold I then put the vice grips on the stud. I've never had to drill one out if there was enough to get ahold with the vice grips.

    when removing that rusty old broken exhaust stud ,,, try putting a second pair of vice grips on forming a T handle ,,, if there 's enough stud sticking out this will make the job almost twice as easy and keep you from twisting it off like Tommy mentioned

      @turboflush 4 роки тому

      Door on my c10 is all out of alignment. Replaced hinges (spring was also broke) hoping to fix the alignment at that point.
      Without removing fender... Not impossible but close to it.
      It's better but the door still sits funny. Bottom back corner is sunk in almost 1/4".
      I think maybe aftermarket door and or twisted.

    • @jamessheets9205
      @jamessheets9205 5 років тому +1

      @Morning star Garage Depending on how bad you want it the challenger and cuda were both built on the e-body platform. I know there are differences in some parts other than body panels. But maybe you could buy a new reproduction 70's challenger body (which I think is available now) and put cuda doors, hood, quarters, deck lid, taillight panel, and valances? I have a 1970 barracuda and by the time I'm done replacing body panels and and doing body work it doesn't make one of these new bodies look too bad price wise.

    O jobber panels don't fit the good that easy believe me I've yet to ever have a jobber panel fit good with tweeks some are so terrible they were either sent back or used to section and repair OEM damaged or rusted panel's. I've seen jobber doors with gaps up to a inch your best to do fix your OEM by all means necessary unless you like crap door jamb gaps and body lines that don't line up. I understand AMD fits Oka but on muscle cars I've bin told to stay the hell away from Dynacorn.

      @@cuzz63 Believe me your better off repairing OEM body panels then going Tiwan Jobber crap. After all that work rebuilding the OEM body panels that fit and finish will be worth it. Some times ya these restamps fit to the point we're there they can be manipulated to OEM easily but most of the time not all the time but most of the time these Jobber panels fit like complete shit anyone with enough paint and body experience will agree. But if you're dead set on new panels don't scrap your old ones sell them there worth something even with rust or damage sometimes for that perfect fit and finish it takes building one good panel out of a couple used one's and go buy your new Tiwan Jobber crap. If you go Tiwan Jobber crap go AMD they still don't fit perfect but they fit alot better then the rest of that Jobber crap.

You go through all that work spend all the money you want OEM if not better fit and finish when your done or what's the point. I had one guy bring me a 80s chev truck he told me it's all new panels its ready for paint so I look at it yup all new panels but I could stick my thumb into some of the body panel gaps and the body lines were off I told the guy the only way I'm interested in touching it is we source out OEM body panels and rebuild them. He claimed no bondo I told him bondo done CORRECTLY AND DONE RIGHT WILL OUT LAST THE PAINT. He disagreed and his truck from what I've bin told is still sitting in his garage un painted year's later I'm going to assume cause once a really body man See's the them gaps and missalinged body lines they say NOPE!
