This Insane FENDER Is The ENTIRE SIDE Of The Chevy SILVERADO *$800 Fix*

I bought a 2010 Chevy Silverado that runs and drives for $2,800. Now I've replaced the headlights, the oil pressure sender, the radio, the failed TPMS sensors, the 6L80e transmission, and now it's time to finish the body. I'm replacing the driver front fender that ended up being the entire side of the truck. Just these body parts and paint cost $789 which puts me at nearly $7,000 in the truck!

Love your videos! I’ve owned my quick jacks for a few years now. For saftey reasons, the jacks are to have the locking bars on the outside. So you have yours reversed. This is just so if you happen to reach your arm inside to unlock the bar and the jack for some reason fails.. you won’t get your arm injured.

[@jacobyo99]

I seriously admire you so much! There’s almost nothing related to cars that you don’t know how to do, or figure it out quickly!

[@terrylessmann2274]

The key color test is how does the fender look just before sunset? The flop is hard to match at that time of day. When I was in college, my dad painted a qtr on our '82 Escort that was a similar color. He must have painted it at least 5 times trying to get it right. Don't think he ever did get an exact match with the sunset test so he always made sure it was in the garage before the sun went down. 🤦‍♂️

[@idontlikecops1]

It's very hard to panel match. Thats why everyone does color blending onto neighboring panels

[@bikeman1x11]

for this project he should have rattle canned and clear coated the fender- this isnt a show car and wont sell for a kings ransom

[@garykuhn1921]

The only person that ever cared that much about an 82 escort. Much respect to your father.

[@vernmiller3584]

That's because all paint colors have different VARIATIONS, even if it is the same color. NO way to tell if you have Dupont, SW, or PPG FACTORY PAINT.

Replaced a few front fenders, doors, deck lids, etc in my day. Quick way to make a slightly damaged car look nice again. Helps if you get lucky and find the right color. I always buy used myself as older cars that are a popular color tend to have some decent matches at u pullit. Newer cars are getting ridiculous in how difficult it is to deal with things like this.

[@chrisnorton2837]

Feels so good to put new panels on, even if they are a lot of work! Nice.

[@RichieRouge206]

Gabe is awesome 🤩 great job there - some manufacturers (like Ford) weld the wings (fenders) on so a bolt on one definitely makes it possible Diy

[@sejembalm]

What is the easiest fender to replace? A friend replaced the fender on his old Mazda truck in a few minutes. Said old Ford trucks were just as easy. But in the 1970s, Ford was notorious for having many different kinds and sizes of bolts holding everything together, making repair work a pain (if a distributor in a '70s Ford/Lincoln/etc. had 3 bolts connecting it to the engine or body, you could be sure they were all different sizes). For a Toyota Camry, just grab a 10mm and go at it, its like 5-8 10mm bolts and the fender's off. I had a 1999 Saturn SL and replacing the plastic fender (hit a suicidal freeway deer) reportedly only took a few minutes. The hardest? The old VW Karmann Ghia had no fenders (as opposed to the Beetle's easy bolt-on fenders), so any damage around the fender area meant repairing or replacing the body (minus the hoods and doors). 1971 VW Super Beetle - Front Fender Removal kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYXZe2iCmbqqZpI

The plier-style trim tool is best for those 2-piece trim clips. Their jaws slot into the molded portion of the clip base and are tapered to work the push-pin part upwards as you clamp down. Have you tried those?

Reminds me of swapping the fender on an old Grand Cherokee. Everything was fine up to that last bolt, which had to be undone from behind the fender.

[@pizzamon795]

Reminds me of my 06 accord. You have to take the bumper and fender completely off to replace the headlights. Its like 20 fasteners for each fender, 4 fasteners/18 body clips for the bumper, 10 more clips for weather guard, 4 clips/2 fasteners for each wheel well weather guard. Only 4 fasteners for each headlight. Holy cow, that's too much for a couple headlights.
