I will send out the template for the brothers kit, unless you ask for the one that we made up. The one we made is a little bigger at the top, that mades it fit better at the top. You just have to cut the side of your door under the latch (as seen in the video) to get the exrta room. IMO that's the best way, but alittle more fab work. Dad & I have thought about getting an old door and tape it start to finish. I know I wish someone would have for me.

alright ill be sure to get it in the mail to you.

Let me guess, the doors you want to volunteer just so happen to be the ones that go in your truck?

[GRIMSS]

I would like the doors back when done.

How long would it take to do a pair of doors start to finish? I could come down and help if interested.

[blackdiesel]

I tell you what, you can come down and your wife can christmas shop in the malls at Branson. I can get all the stuff. It will take about 3 weeks to get the glass. We can do it in around 4 hours or less. Let me know, I have to send the pattern out on a wednesday. but theres no hurry, you pick the day.

Sounds like a winner, i would like to see start to finish... Thanks for your time and sharing your tricks etc.

[twcarman]

Count me in. I would like to do this to my truck.

[renegade6]

I'm also interested.

[KLINGER]

I got my templates thank you blackdiesel!! i'll be keeping my eye out for the install.

[Sal's '55 Chevy]

I got the templates, Thanks Blackdiesel hopefully the weather doesn't get to bad in Texas to where i can work on my truck haha

[KLINGER]

let us know what weatherstripping you guys are using as well and where we could get it. thanks.

[Sal's '55 Chevy]

has anyone tryed to start the door without blackdiesel showing us how?

[blackdiesel]

Grimss is coming over today in about 8 hours. we'll get the install filmed and burned on dvd's. along with whats needed for installation. stay tuned lol

[Sal's '55 Chevy]

thats perfect whenever its done are you going to post a video or just dvd's? If your doing just dvd's you know my address send me one my way if you could man this is a great deal your doing for everyone.

[blackdiesel]

If we (or someone) can put it on the web, somewhere that would be great. Every time I try I have to down side it so much and it takes so long to down load, it's not worth watching. We got it done earliey grimss took some pix also, he should be home before long. He might be to tierd to post tonight though.

[Sal's '55 Chevy]

o okay well i wish i could man it would be something that would benefit everyone so im guessing it don't take long to do then just a little talent would get the job done.

[GRIMSS]

Just made it home. 4hrs I'm beat. I'll see how my pics turned out later. Had a great time. The process is pretty easy once you see what has to be done.

Great work.

When cutting the area behind the latch, do you just cut a slot out to allow the track to push further towards the rear of the door?
Do you have to modify the latch at all?

You should start selling these kits, I would probably buy one.
