Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
I like what you are doing with the door. The only thing is now you would have the RARE 3 door that everyone talks about. LOL Good luck on your move maybe I will see you in colorado before you move. the family and I are going to cruz the burb out in 2 weeks and spend some time with a buddy near loveland then hit the diesel drags then back home. If you need any parts let me know I may have them.

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
For anyone with the capabilities, a jig or fixture on a table would be perfect. I fit it against the other door so many times when I was fitting it and tacking! I am within a 32nd of an inch from where I want to be. I have some tweaking to do because the shape of the bends is just 1/32 of an inch different!

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
are you keeping track of the countless hours this door is taking so you know what to charge when you start selling door kits?

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
I'm back, and back at it! welding this frame up took a whole lot of time. The frames were slightly different in size, and the heat would pull the pieces every which way. A jig would be so nice! I may just have to build one! I am having a hard time getting into the sides of the inside of the window channel. I'm not sure how i am going to weld those up yet. Any suggestions? I just cant get a good angle on them. I really want to get them welded all the way around, so I am open to suggestions!

Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family
What about brazing the inside seam after the outer is done? Might be easier to get a small oxy/acet tip and some brass rod in there than a mig.

I have mad a little progress so far today. The handle on the right rear door got replaced with the one from the donor right truck door. and the new front of the left rear door got rough cut! I'm watching the kids today and giving Momma a break so progress may be off and on. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-z...0/DSCN5939.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D...0/DSCN5940.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m...0/DSCN5941.JPG |
