    Door Window Glass Channel Rock auto vs Lmc

    Has anyone used the LMC glass channel over the Rock auto one? I ordered the majority of my door parts from Rock auto because I source a lot of parts from there. But the glass channels and vent window seals, were just a horrible fit. Anyone have any experience with LMC ones before I order from...

    Door Gap

    I actually got out of the truck after my last reply and just gave it a good jolt. It's not exactly perfect. But a whole lot better. Had no idea they were that easy to bend. Thanks for that

    Door Gap

    I've had to make the holes bigger and really push the fender ahead. The hood fits excellent. Just this door don't want to cooperate. I had an old door on previous while I was painting these and it fit fine. This is a new aftermarket

    Door Gap

    The gap seems fine right around the door. I couldn't get it right on the fender first so I took it off, now I can't get right around the pillar

    Door Gap

    I've been all day trying to get this door Gap right and nothing seems to work. It's completely tight on the top, but way off just above the top hinge. I can't adjust it in on the bottomed any more, or I'm on the top hinge.

I got my buddy to pick up some gasket material. I'm gunna mount the mirrors and hopefully get my doors and hood on today. Still have...

    Chipping Paint

    I painted my new doors and installed my west coast mirrors, only to chip the paint under under the mirror brackets. What's best way to fix this or just to prevent it from rusting? Is there gasket material I should put underneath to prevent this from happening on the other side?

    Installed 2 inch body left and painted. Pretty sure I essed up the lines and position of the white stripe but what's done is done now, lol. Have new doors on order.

    12v Swap Into 87 C30

    Still using the dodge tcase for now, it's driver side drop. But I ain't got anything gm to mate to the 47rh. I had a 208 that I read should match, but spline was different
