Doors. Pics. 'Nuff said.

So maybe everyone will pipe down now...?

With the GRACIOUS help of MAch1ne (Skip) & S281SC (Bob)[from the VMF] - and Bob future son-in-law, we were able to get the doors back on.

I won't go into bloody details. But one thing I can say is that the weather seals don't let the doors close worth a crud... how long for those mugs to soften up?

Nice photoshop work getting those doors on there..... :rofl :hide

 

[Starfury]

I agree, must've been a PITA to get the door gaps right in Photoshop

In all seriousness, that car looks awesome. I want. And the door gaps really do look good

Notice that he took his hood, cut it up, reshaped each half, and produced two doors. :boo Nice job!

Now be honest: was this easier to do with the fenders on or with them off?

 

[70_Fastback]

It took extra tape and a bit more time with the fender on. Might have added a "1" to the difficulty level. But trial and error was minimal to each door as well. Like I Said, they had been on there before with the fenders, etc on the car. This was just an excercise is rebolting them back on.

But the F'ing weather strips are a different story now... They are pushing the doors out a bit at the bottom. You can kind of see it in the top picture above.

What's the hold up on installing the hood?

 

[70_Fastback]

Lacking 2 extra hands. BUT... Skip is coming back over tonight to help get that bolted on!

I installed new hood hinges and new hood springs as well. So I'm sure I'll have some aligning to do.

 

[daveSanborn]

If I waited for 2 extra hands to show up everytime they were needed, I'd never get anything done.

Place a couple folded up bath towels along the cowl/fender edge, lay the hood onto them, temporarily prop the hood up with a stick of wood, install hinge bolts/springs, align and done.

 

[70_Fastback]

I already did my doors the "hard" way... so I think I'll take the easy route on this one :nice

I hear Aaron is on his way.
