I finally found the seal material for the roof lights so I have completed the mock up of the lights and tested them. They work. After some decompression on the work on my doors I have continued with them. They have been patched, smoothed, end received a good coat of epoxy. I got the new hinge pins and bushings so the hinges have been rebuilt. I installed the Honda door seals and I've been working on aligning the doors. I found that I had 2 main hinge bolts on the drivers door were stripped, Ugh. It was actually the nuts in the body panel that were stripped, but upon closer inspection I found that rust was not the reason they stripped. the nuts looked clean. I decided that before doing anything radical that I would try tapping them out to a 5/8" bolt from the 9/16". I used a 3/8" drill bit and drilled out the old threads. I also enlarged the oval hole in the body so the larger bolt could move freely. I then tapped the hole. It worked perfectly. I will enlarge the oval hole in the hinge so the bolt will move freely there also. This is a matter of removing 1/32" from each side. So I hope to get the door back on today and continue the alignment. I'll post up some pictures later today
