Pete (9 months late, but...), you should demand the market value and pay yourself accordingly... Only 20-percent labor (!) with 2600.00 labor in a 13,000.00 insurance job? The standard labor percentage is usually about 66-percent of the repair total for each of the dozens of general automotive shops and specialty auto repair shops that I have experience dealing with. STANDARD FORMULA (business model): Parts/materials/supplies are marked up 40-percent over what the parts stores would charge (which is already 2.5 or 3 times the amount you could find online), and the labor total is ALWAYS double the amount of the parts/materials/supplies total (never fails - check your invoice when having an outside vendor do the work for you, and that is any vendor).

THANK YOU FOR THIS REVIEW! HAVE A GREAT DAYYYYY!

Doing UA-cam is quite a job Pete

I have a brand new block looks just like your old one

That’s a good video Pete ❤

Once again, Pete, good video, but what’s up with all the goddamn haters if you don’t like it don’t fucking watch it. 1900 views and only 240 thumbs up WTF

And don't forget to lube the hinges every 6-12 months (and of course right after new bushings). Factory manual calls for engine oil, or chassis grease (wheel bearing or cv grease). Great installation video Pete.

From my experience it seems to me these GM pins and bushings wear the same regardless the weight of the door. Weather it be the heavy ass two door collenaides of the 70"s or the fairly light 4 doors of the 80"s or c10's.

cracks in the hinge area was a big problem with the 67 to 72 gm trucks also

Yes

Good one Pete 👍

Must be a another rerun, Pete wearing his winter coat.

Just discovered your UA-cam channel great video Pete 😊 I'm working on my wife's van some small rust repairs small dents thanks

Good ole Dallas Prison Yard video!

Thanks Pete. As a note, the factory pins have 2 pinched areas or raised metal on the pins bottom part. These can be filed or ground off prior to replacement. Also as a tech tip; If installing new door seals, do this before adjusting the latch. The flange these sit on can be adjusted to hold sheet paper when close. Just inspect the entire seal as it can be too tight, smashing the seal or too loose, causing wind, air noise while driving. Once even the entire opening, then adjust the “B” pillar sticker for ease of use. The older 67-72 hinges are cast iron and very difficult W/O a torch to service. If just stiff, heat them and work them until loose. I appreciate all you share with the DIY guys/gals who are learning your lessons. Thanks kindly for sharing My Friend Pete & Minnie the Body Shop Girl, young lady!

U do know that u do raise your voice above what mist would call comfortable LOL . I like the material u put in your videos but I do get amused at the angry u have about parts and suppliers . Its a battle u cannot win . The suppliers could care less about u . The goal is to receive as much profit as possible .

Hi there Pete. I have a little problem regarding what colour to paint my 68 Coronet. I'm drunk at this moment. I saw a viper yellow 68 Coronet a "Super Bee" with magnum rims on it and just loved it. A friend saw it and said it looked as gay as a hand basket. ???. The slightly darker Viper yellow In my opinion with the Super Bee stripe looks anything but gay. No offence. I know a gay guy who is a panic..funnier than hell. Nice guy. Anyway. Every damn colour I say ..No no you can't paint it that colour....Round and round it goes. Chrysler guys are terrible. "That's not correct" is the constant fraise. Black is no good. It will cost you $20000 for the body work to make the panels straight. Ya but all my panels are new. "Oh that doesn't matter" I think I'll shoot myself to shut everybody up.

How about anything GM half assed together , the door doesn't open right.

Pete! Can you show how to adjust the door hinges to get the gaps right? Without taking the fenders off…

just wondering when minnie is going to get tired of getting treated like trash and kicks you to the curb.

I wish you could show us how you sinched aligned the door straight on ....because some are hard to lift and tighten up at the same time.Thx Pete!

Had both sides replaced on the truck I've been working on for ( way too long 😢 ) another thing to check is the bushing on the catch . I believe the ones on the my truck had been missing for years because I remember asking my dad about the doors not shutting good and he bought the truck new it would rattle 😊

Nice repair Pete👍... On mopar A bodys like dart/duster the cracks show up at the rear door pillar where the striker is the solution is to weld a reinenforcing plate to the back of the pillar where the striker goes.... Most mopar hinges do not use bushings and must be drilled for bushings... Its a good idea to get drilled pins for grease zerks or drill and add them your self to extend the life of the bushings.... even just having lube passages where lubricant can get in helps a lot.

Good video

Does much really hinge on this? 2:15 I see it! Deep 🚩🚩🚩

@myfriendpete glad to see you pal 🙏🏾

Hey PETE!

Sorry about your somersault accident. Hopefully you mend soon Pete.

Thanks for all your sharing of your knowledge

Urethane primer cant be direct to metal can it? I mean it can......but its not gooing ti have any sealing properties or rust proofing or weather proofing corrcect?

My shop teacher She would make you do sentences if you didn't have your piece flat on the table, same thing if you didn't have glasses or ear wear. I still have finished projects.

Poor lady i feel sorry for her dude needs to chill out .

The best beast on Amazon is the Dewalt DCF960 period.

Hey My Friend Pete, Off subject but I can’t find an old video you and Minnie made about what brand of wipes you use to prep for paint. Could you please remind me. Thank you for everything you do. Hang in there . There are still some good people around.

Yo Pete what do you think about URE CHEM PAINT IS IT GOOD PAINT OR CHEAP PAINT??

amazon drill are crap would even take off lug nuts

As soon as you have the high cutting through to steel stop! After this point if you keep sanding you are wasting your time by making it wavy. So it will be ready for another coating of whatever you are using Just before you cut back to steel!!! No exceptions.

Sammy Salami looks like he hasn't aged a day in 13 years. You'd think that Miami sun would have turned him to leather by now.

Just use plastic media blasting to avoid all of these heat issues.

Man my wife was just asking me why I cuss so much yesterday. I was watching your video because I’m planning on painting her vette, When you slipped on your chair.. the obscenities made me LOL, I told her “see that shit?” That’s why. Shop life is always making me cuss.

LOVE THIS GUY

The fast interview i ever seen

Thank you for the instruction, I enjoy your editing work as well

And they said in the instructions 1 to 24 hrs. You didn't wait that long, I myself would have put them back in the cup for 8 more hrs. I am restoring a old car also and I will give evpo-rust a try and let you know how it turns out. THANKS my friend, your friend Dale

Hey Pete, Love your videos. I'm working on a 1966 AMC RAMBLER AMERICAN 440. This car is very solid. My question is have you ever made a fuel tank.

2o min of bullshit yapping until we see work.

It is only 2.7 SCFM at 90 psi per Vevor technical department. The ad and manual states 4.6 SCFM at 90 psi which is in error.

Fuck the haters Keep it up brother

I have a 79 corvette. The paint shop said 7000.00 for a 2 stage paint job with 2 coats of paint. I don't know if that is 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint or 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint. What do you recommend? Thank you
