  1. You guys have gotten a way better fender than I did. Or got to pick through them. I've done a bunch, and never seen one fit that easily. Love the show regardless. Lol

  2. Putting the sheet metal back on my
    Grandmother's 66 chevy two Nova, it take a lot of patience, & help that has
    Your goals into mind, hell working by
    Your self, four eyes better than two

  3. This is OK wish there was more detail on how many screws/ bolts etc to remove & install Q panel location of all. Be nice if there was some detail on this sort of stuff for us non auto geeks/ first timers.

  4. 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.

  5. 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..

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. Big lol when he made poor factory panel gap sound like a feature to reduce wind noise and provide door clearance – which meant he didn't have to fix it either…
