www.v8tvshow.com - In this video, we install a new set of doorskins on our 1965 Chevelle. These new, rust-free, arrow-straight skins came from OPGI, and when installed properly, are a quick and relatively easy way to renew an old set of doors. We prepped our inner structure by treating it to a complete sandblasting and a bath in PPG DP90 epoxy primer. We then did a little work to the skin to get it ready, then we used a 3M Automix doorskin adhesive to bond the skin to the inner structure. The trickiest part is working the new doorskin over the inner structure, but we used a cool tool from Dent Fix to power the flange over smoothly and quickly.
@ccubsfan94 update. just looked. the rust spot i have goes all the way through the door. even the back. i can't find a door shell anywhere. anyone know where to get a door shell for a 74 nova
sweet. i need to do this for my 74 nova. my dad had a chevelle. i forgot what year. he sold it for 500 bucks only the body. but the jackass who bought it took it with the tranny and engine too. body had no rust. my dad go rid of it cause of bad memories. his brother took it down to florida (from iowa) and was shot and killed in it. sad but it was a nice car
nice video for a beginner
very good video well explained
Videos are very informative thanks Can you please post a roof skin and drip rail installation thanks
DP refers to PPG DP90, an epoxy primer.
Sandblasted and DP'd. What is DP? I assume that it's something primer.
Informative video, thanks for posting.
watching the video again and i was thinking it would look good without the 1/4 window on the door
in australia dodge darts are rare and it looks like i am going to end up with a body that will proably need re-skinning it is great to see how the pro's do it with all there cool toys
Nice Job!
