Still not sure Norm. The only thing I don't like about the Cragers is the 16" in the rear. I wish they were all 15".

I belong to Wild West Corvettes, and they usually announce it at the meetings. We would like to see Tom's do a cruise night again. That one kind of died.

No, the one on Bear Valley. It was on Wednesday nights.

Strodder · 01-29-2011, 09:51 PM

Finally got some work done on the truck. I filled the hole in the door and fit the Impala door handles.

I had a badly damage hood from a 50 Chevy Truck that I used part of for the fill panel. The curvature was perfect as it was the same as the doors shape.
Just to remind you this is what I started with.

I made a templet from some thin cardboard, then duplicated it with the panel I cut from the damaged hood.

juanz1947 · 01-29-2011, 11:01 PM

Dang look good

66-PMD-GMC · 01-30-2011, 12:58 AM

Nice mend work. Its so much like art... oh yeah, it IS art...

Strodder · 01-30-2011, 11:11 AM

Your right it is like art. You have to have an imagination. Then make it happen. Then cross your fingers and hope it works. If this didn't work I was just going to shave the door, and install solenoids. Looks like it's going to work. The linkage is the only challenge left. I have a plan.

watahyahknow · 01-30-2011, 11:33 AM

i seen a combination of the two once , he mounted a microswitch behind the knob inside the door so the handle triggered it and triggered the solenoid that pulled the lock to open it you have more choice where to place the inside handle too
if you screen the solenoidlock combo inside the door with a metal plate and hook a relay for the power to a wireless alarm it will be verry hard to open the car or truck without you knowing about it with regulair tools of the thief trade

Strodder · 01-30-2011, 11:59 AM

I also thought of something on that line, but I want it to be all mechanical and not rely on electrical. But if my plan doesn't work, that's the next thing I'll think about.

Alan's Classic · 01-30-2011, 08:53 PM

Very nice you posting whore.

Really, nice work!!

Strodder · 01-30-2011, 10:31 PM

I finished welding the rest of the door patch, and also finished the bear claw latch install. I had to fill where the door jam wasn't flat. This made it look a lot cleaner. While I was at it I fixed the gap in between the door and body near the post. I also twisted the door so the top and bottom would fit flush. Now just a skim coat of Bondo. Then do the other side.

I almost forgot. I made linkage from the handle to the latch. Works perfect. I'll take pictures after I make brackets to secure the handle from the inside.

ruffrida2005 · 01-30-2011, 10:26 PM

I really like that way that look Dennis. something some people just wont know that it doesn't belong
