Dropped the GTX off at my painter's shop today,and we were discussing the hinges being weak,and the door/quarter panel not lining up very well. My question to you guys is..who sells a quality pin & bushings kit..at a reasonable price, to replace the worn out originals? Also..I'd like to thank Mike Rafferty(Mr. P-Body)for taking the time to help me deliver it...and the use of his truck,as well! Thanks,Raff! Brador's

I just drilled the hinges oversize and used bolts with lock nuts. But mine is a race car even though the doors are still steel.

sounds like you may have some body flex going on.

be driven in.... some have little junk things that
you push in with your thumb

NAPA carries a variety:

You just need to know what length and diameter you need.

Thanks,Wilson! I'll have to check the HELP section out at Advance or O'Reilly's out this week! BTW..looking at that rust-encrusted hinge that Dave Young's installing new bushings in..wouldn't you think he would have at least sand-blasted and painted them? Just sayin'!

Al,to answer your COLOR question...I've decided to keep it the factory F-5 GREEN. It is a nice green,especially with gold metal flake in it! My X was 3 shades of green,with the only NICE representation of the color being the driver side rear quarter! Also,it was only a single-stage paint job...hastily done just to sell it,I'm sure! FINALLY,the GTX will get the paint job it deserves....after ALL these years!
