I just realized that my driver side door is starting to sag a little bit. Is there any known way to correct this at all???

 

replace the hinge bushings. its a big pita

 

Ugh I was afraid of that

 

I would make sure the hinge isn't pulling away from the panel. If it is, you'll need to weld it up before it gets real bad. My door doesn't line up at all because some moron welded the hinge a quarter inch away from the panel. In the summer, I'm removing the doors, cutting off the hinge, and welding a new one on the right way.

 

Well luckily that's ok because I checked that and it wasnt the case

 

Then I guess you got it easy this time At least I have a reason to go doorless now. I'll probably fab up some tube doors anyway. With my newly undercoated floors, it gets pretty hot in there so going doorless should let some of that unwanted heat out.

 

Good logic lol how the rust repair go?

 

It went pretty good. After 3 days of rust inhalation, I was coughing up rust filled phlegm, though. I used my rust repair to start up a build thread. I still need to do the cargo area, but the front is done and it's pretty solid. After all is said and done, I'm gonna put some bedliner over the thin coat of undercoating I put down. Maybe if the bedliner is thick enough, the heat won't pass through as easy, but it's a long shot.

 

Well hopefully that works lol I've seen some of that heat shield spray before. I think VHT makes it for exhaust manifolds. It works like a heat wrap to keep the heat from the rest of the engine bay. Maybe something like that will help the floors.

 

I'll have to look into that. I don't think any local stores would have it though. I'll see how it is after I bedline everything.

 

I know pep boys on route 18 normally has it

 

I'll have to check it out. Those people that work there are so damn stupid, haha. I asked the one guy where they would have door edge molding and he told me they have nothing of that sort. So I walked down the aisle and picked it up and went to show him, but he walked in the back They need to get more helpful employees there, because there were many times where I asked about something that I had seen there before and they told me they didn't have it. I work right around there so I'll have to stop on my way home one of these days.

 

Hahahaha I know just what you mean
