    Nope. I'd bet those dump right behind the cab.

    Those style of hangers do allow some flex and such (at least in the one direction).

    That area had some spot welds to a bracket/gusset on the hinge support that lives on the front of the door. Oddly this B1 door (red) did not have that support bracket/gusset like the B2 door on the passenger side (yellow). Can see below where I had to add back panel material for the front window channel once the door was flexed into its new shape.

    bearclaws not installed yet those were only on the passenger side where I had to gain some space and took out a 1/16" or so. might need to look at the side view of the panneger side for a bigger hint...

    I woudl think that you shoudl have a wood "candy store" somewhere nearby for local woodworkers? A stop and chat at the nearest construction supply store manager might get a few names if nothing else.

    Just to be clear: no offers of engines to be bought, sold or aquired should be on the main forum. Several posts in this tread have been reported for doing so. Keep it to potential vendors for repairs, helpin understanding the proper path and such. If in need of an engine, please post to the classifieds adds as the site owner has requested. Thanks much. Hope things work out for you.

    IMO if kept dry, no problem. In a wet environment....lots of surface area on the flat braided versions with no protection...

    good for you! I ended jumping a few years back...total of about 2800 jumps, 30 night jumps, 2 reserve rides and one broken leg (stupid mistake trying to be "cool"). I miss it dearly. Thay plne was my favorite, big, fast and a nice door. Even got to take the controls for a while once.

    notice the suicide hinge pocket....well it's kinda in the way and I have no recourse.....it's mostly for air flow anyway. AS longas they open! not even tracking on this build...I just know it'll be more than I thought and les than it could be!

    I have so many scape wood chunks laying around....my great nephew comes and takes home loads of "nice pieces of wood".

    its a special new type of tint...."wood grain" for high security one way viewing only

    It now goes up and down with power!
  21. ggdad1951
    Sounds like you shouldjust put a permanent 220V outlet in the shop....

    Working on the rear window(s). I can get the "glass" in and it slides with ease...next up the power unit. Now if my RAD would just show up... 5316.mp4

    For the truck side there are about 4 or 5 (that I know of) FB groups that generally everyone is a member of and when a question is asked on one, they ask it in all of them. Lots of redundancy, but it DOES trick out a few unique replies. But in general, as JB said, it a one shot looking for quick answers or parts.
