Cliff's 33 Hot Rod Build in Virginia

[colsen23153]

There are some good videos on you-tube for the door install. Four parts if I remember correctly.

The videos I found were for Gen 1 and the hardware and procedures are way different. Also a template, worth it's weight in gold, is in the kit to drill the door and body for the hinges. The general information was good and I'll follow that. I like the idea of trimming the door just to "fit" at this point and set the gaps later after it's completely installed. I started today putting the hinges in. Took 3 hours. If that is any indication of how things are going to go I should be working through the night tomorrow night putting in the drivers door.

I have spent a lot of hours on the doors and I feel there are still a bunch more to be spent. Adding washers so the beam twists is a big help. Still is a lot of trial and error with way too many adjustments available. I have final fitting to go but just had had enough bodywork and went on to the chassis. The hood, sides, and radiator fit are another learning experience. Lots of options for learning how to sand, cut, and use fiberglass and resin. Not all bad, but takes a while when you are learning it all new.
