Re: Door Rebuilds

helpfull hints
to line up/reinstall the doors that were removed
drill a small hole or two threw the hinge and into the body(before removing)
put a nail in this when reinstalling,to line it up,as it was

the newer vents have locks
older glass is thicker
older door rods have metal clips,newer plastic,they don't interchange
put a lock popper in the door while building,if you use it then you just put the rod in
make sure all the mirror/door supports are in there(hate driving with shakey mirrors)
