Some more pics of the door top.

I also had to fix the upper fender where it meets the cowel.

And then there is the repair where I rounded off the door at the cowel.
The last pic shows what I am contemplating doing to the top rear of the door. This is what happens when you have to much time on your hands and stare at things.

I say go for it Kim on the upper door corners. It's mods like those that make it "yours". Nice and subtle that only an individual who knows anything about this vintage year would recognize. Good Job.

I'm going to do it. It's just a matter of getting through the first cut and then there's no turning back.

Its a 54 foad. Belongs to my brother. He doesn't have the space at his place so I'm giving him a hand with it.

I say go for the curve up top and you can fix the door spacing while you do that. Its the little things that make it look awesome.

I like looking at your build because you show all the little steps to get where you are now. Thanks!! It really looks nice and can't wait to see more progress.

I was given a new set of Dolphin gauges minus the tach. I'm looking for a nice billet bezel to install them in and I will run a Sun tach.

Well just messin around with photo shop. How does this look?

[Spackle100]

I like it, it seems like it could have come off the production floor that way.

Here you go Kim, I took this pic at a Brothers Truck Show about 4 years ago. I have a folder on my computer for all the mods I like.

[Kim57]

That's what I'm looking for guys. I've actually been trying to come up with a radius I like.
Those two look good.
Thanks
Kim

Doors and gaps looking great. Glad to see your making progress.

[Kim57]

Well I bit the bullet and rounded off the rear of the door at the top.
I had to make a template because of the shape of the door. A little cutting and bending and I had something to use so I could make sure both doors matched. I was able to use the outer piece to make the filler pieces for the cab.

[Kim57]

A little more cutting, bending and welding and it starts to come together.
Kim

[Kim57]

A couple more to show where it's at now. I little filler and it should look O.K.

Kim that looks very good! What gauge of metal did you use to do that?

Thanks Mike.
I used 16 gauge. I find it a lot easier to work with than anything thinner.
