Here's what we did yesterday and today. We moved the cab around to the stall we usually work out of since the doors were nearly ready for fitting.


Driver side door finished, coated with Chassis Saver and two layers of sound deadening. They don't sound like tin cans anymore!





Doors installed to check fit and rework the edges where things didn't line up.





Front edge against cowl box didn't fit the shape.





Heat shrunk to pull the edge down, then shaped with a hammer/dolly to match the shape of the cowl panel.







Back edge fit was decent already.




Bottom edge needed some straightening.




This was one of the two areas that fit terribly.




Difference between the door skin shape (red profile gauge) and the cowl edge.




Relief cuts.




Reshaped the edge, checking the shape.








Cuts welded and smoothed.




Fits flush, it looks a little off since the gaps aren't even yet.







This was the second area that fit really bad. The cab stuck out from the window frame by 3/16". Both sides were like this, tapering in towards the top.










After relief cutting the door jamb, aligning, welding, and smoothing.
