I am in Lake Wales Fl. Those are not fun to hook in. I did figure a way with a wrench to help put them in but at my age can't remember now. LOL. Good luck

My ignition key does not work my door lock either. Have new door handles and lock tumblers. After putting my car back together one day the driver side would not unlock. Pulled the door panel and found one of the links was missing. All new clips and brackets. But one had rusted off and let a...

The only thing I could not get to rebuild my hinges where the plastic parts that hold the door open. The rest is sold in a lot of places.

Darn something always goes wrong when we are trying to make it better. Grate job though.

Just to add I used the yellow tape bought through my auto paint supplier. The hardware stores do not sell it. Used the 3m window plastic for tape off areas that you do not want painted. Had to watch out for after paint dries the plastic will want to shed the paint. So had to change it often...

one too one on the base coat. That is what Matrix paint says on the can. One part thinner and one part paint. Do not reduce the clear. That stuff was expensive enough. But tried to buy the best on the market. PPG paint.

I agree if you get two gallons of color then mix them together to have the same color overall. Base coat is equal to two gallons when thinned. I used Matrix paint on my car. Three coats of clear was sprayed after base coat. Base coat should dry for about five hours after spraying before you...

Nice job. Good luck with the project. Keep us posted on your progress.

This is one job I hope never ever have to do again. LOL.

Live in central Fl. Jacked my car up and blocked it high enough so I could use a creeper and rolled under with putty knife and a heat gun. Takes a while keep heat on the knife blade and it will come off. Slow but messy. Then go back and wire brush on a right-angle grinder to finish the job. I...

I bought that vent window frame for both sides. Cheap product. Had to neural the mounting holes out with a step bit to make it line up right. Think it cost me almost 500 hundred for the set of them. Was able to use my original glass in them use RVT black to set the glass. The chrome on them is...

Vent window frame pulls out in one piece. After door glass is out. Should find bolt on inner front of door behind the plastic plugs. Adjuster at bottom of door with a black plug there. Should pull inner door trim to get at the rest. If not, wrong back quarter glass is glued to a frame that holds...

Be gentle with her. I use that darn heat gun on a lot of stuff to get bolts and other frozen on stuff to loosen up. On glass would use wood to pry with and not metal tools. If I am not wrong lay it on a bench covered with a packing blanket or such heat up the trim and gently start tapping on it...

Post pics. Have you tried a heat gun to loosen up the trim. Sure, someone here has had to do the same thing.

Worst of the worst Sh-----t happens. We are men so what do you expect just ware it off. I have used paint thinner to take it off my hands and arms paint that is. Not sure about the pro. Have heard bad thing on it in the past that it just did not stick to metal. One of my buddy's said he was...

The small hole is to hold the retaining clip for window trim. Large hole like stated is to hold gasket and is a drain hole.

Remove the under coating with stiff putty knife and heat gun aimed at the putty knife end. Need a fan to move the fumes away from you. Then used a wire wheel on my die grinder to finish the clean-up. I used bed liner to recoat. In place of the under coating. Take your time if you don't have and...

Not many chrome shops left. Had my taillight bezels done and it took a while. Here in Fl. They were not busy when first searching for a shop. Then Covid hit and everyone had time off from work and flooded the shop with bumpers and parts from their boats. Also had my shifter done and it took...

Why can't you cut out that area and put metal back in. Fiber mesh or tiger hair fiber glass works well. Seen it all when growing up buying whatever car I could afford at the time. The worst thing with a ding in the fender they would drill a bunch of holes to make the Bondo stick. Under stand...

I agree on fit issues on AMD parts. Had to add metal to my drop down's where they were to mate up with the wheel well's. Not right on trunk pane either had to cut off one side and add to the other side to make it look like it should. But think that is the reason it takes a body shop longer to...
