Suicide-D · 11-03-2003, 12:10 AM

I have to re-do the channels in the doors, I just wanted to see it swing. I also have to replace both inner door bottoms.

my new 72 · 11-03-2003, 12:13 AM

Hey man, looking good. Do you still need my doors, or are you going to use those? Did you get a chance to talk to Matt? Give me a call tomorrow, or now, I'll be up for a while.

**Canadian694x4** · 11-03-2003, 12:45 AM

Keep the progress pics comin'....

jay-dawg · 11-03-2003, 03:48 AM

looking good...are you planning to keep the outside door handles that way ?

jay

Suicide-D · 11-03-2003, 09:08 AM

Josh, I talked to him but the prognosis doesn't look good. Turns out his Grandmother doesn't want a bunch of people over there. I'll explain more of the situation when I talk to you. Do your doors need any work?

No, I don't plan on leaving the handles. I just didnt bother taking them off til I knew it was going to work.

Iron-Butt · 11-03-2003, 09:13 AM

Great job. They look good.

**Palf70Step** · 11-03-2003, 11:39 AM

I got confused for a minute....was looking for a thread on someone stealing Dobber's truck. Oh well it is a Monday and I hate water pumps on new vehicles!!!

Work looks great man!!

I fixed it....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-03-2003, 07:44 PM

Look's good I thought those were jeep hinge's, look's great...

rustyold69 · 11-03-2003, 07:56 PM

so the hinges are just made out of some tubing with a bolt through it?

Suicide-D · 11-03-2003, 08:26 PM

Nsane68 used the Jeep hinges... I made my own

yes I guess you could say that, it was a little more involved than that though.

I'll draw up the plans for them in Autocad for anyone who wants them.
