Few steps further along.  Thinking this is how the top "corner" will be.  Gaps will all have to be "normailzed" with weld wire welded to the door edges at some point.  Next steps will be to skin the doors and build up the inside.

been a while...but made SOME progress this weekend.  What took me 2 days should have taken 4 hours.  Working a little slow after last weekend's highway speed collision we hobbled away from.

Thanks guys, a few hundredths of a second the wrong way and you'd be looking for a new moderator likely (I'm sure a few here wouldn't shed a tear) and this thread would just.....end.

WOW I missed that post, Just amazes me the construction of cars today. The safety that is built into them.

I imagine if the same accident happened in one of our old cars/trucks We would be dead.

I am glad you are ok & did not happen in a older vehicle ... not enough of them left as it is  :P

 

Nice work on the build  :)

Rear doors look great mate. Glad to see you’re still moving forward.

Also glad to see that you’re ok after the crash…. someone is looking over you. ?Might have been some of those pesky wanted parts requests in the wrong place if you weren’t here anymore ?

Keep moving forward my forum brother?

So another door made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday....but I like how the look is coming on this.  I have too many doors laying around, might as well use them instead of them just sitting.

Realized I forgot to post the driver side work from last week.  Second time around is easier, and WAY faster.
