I purchased used pewter colored interior parts (bezels) for my BMW 645ci. The only problem is that someone before me broke the tabs! The guy at the used parts place sold me the part in question for $10 so I jumped on it. I was able to repair it after seeing this video!!! The cheapest complete Pewter bezel parts on ebay now is $144. I walked out paying $48! Thanks for making this video!!!
I’d like to try this on my vinyl/pvc spindles on my railing. I wonder if it would work. I don’t have a spare to practice on. Would it discolor the white?
This was my problem! Seriously night and day difference! The bushing was basically completely gone, i cannot believe how much a 10 minute $10 job made a difference! Thanks a ton!
@ohio171 I totally agree. I price check all the stuff I buy and for the past couple of years they haven't come close and it's taken me forever to get parts
I have a chipped off cargo light cover on my Nissan frontier, that has about an inch missing of the black plastic. I’d like to send it to you for repair if you’re conducting a plastic repair business. I did a search for plastic welders in my area and we have none. The part is expensive and prefer to get it repaired. Thank you.
@chrisn5079 could be the plug for the A/C compressor. I'd look to see if it's unplugged or cracked or if one of the wires is broken. Also check the fuse.
I use old aluminum window screen and a wood burning tool with a flat paddle, just make sure your plastics are from the same family. Check the recycling number if available.
When my mechanic told me that plastic fuel tank fill neck was welded onto the tank I thought he was trying to pull a fast one over me. Now I guess he was right.
Also, your headlight is $200?? That's rare nowadays. Mine would be over $1000 for one without any bulbs in it, so account for another $500 for both sides.(I'm not replacing a housing without new bulbs and I'm not replacing one housing at a time) So you could potentially have saved someone in my position $2500 + labor. 👏👏👏
Sir, monkey see, monkey do. You can't do it bare handed, then tell people to wear gloves. It's unprofessional. Just wear gloves. Lead by example. Great video!
Bought a plastic weld kit for a headlight bucket. It's $600 from the manufacturer... But the truck is a 1984 model and the bucket is discontinued and not even made. But with a quick plastic weld it's up and running as good as ever
I am preparing to replace cab corners and one rocker on my 72 GMC. As this is a first for me, I was looking for a good video tutorial. Well, I found a great one! You explain very well! Thank you!
So glad I happened upon this video! I recently acquired a '74 C10 that is in really good shape overall, but when I pulled out the carpet yesterday I found lots of old repairs along with some painted-over rot in the floorboards and inner rocker panels. I have yet to go over all the sheet metal in the area, but I'm sure I'll find more that needs attention. Thanks for all the helpful instruction!
Make sure you hit that subscribe button. I have a ton of other restoration/hotrod stuff coming. Don't be scared of those floors. The sheet metal is cheap and they're pretty easy to replace.
@@youbreakityoufixit9594 in my truck, the outer rocker panels are good, but the inner panels are rusted out. Any advice on how to go about replacing the inner rockers without wrecking the outer panels? I'm trying to avoid having to repaint the truck, but that may not be possible.
@@ronjennings7533 is the floor rusted out too? you can just cut out the rust spots and make panels just big enough to cover the area and be as conservative with cutting as possible. If the floor and the hinge pillar aren't rotted you could just leave it and repair it when it absolutely needs to be. No sense in taking a truck off the road that doesn't need to be.
@@youbreakityoufixit9594 the floor WAS rusted out, but it was "repaired" using an old real estate sign from the 70s. I wish I could post a pic with this comment, because it's really amusing. It seems the previous owner replaced some of the exterior body panels, but simply painted the inner parts with rust converter. The rocker panels are only 50-60% there. I can probably leave it for the time being, then address it when I'm ready to repaint it. That won't be for a year or two yet, and I'd rather be able to drive it between now and then.
