You have got to be the most ambitious person I have ever seen. Personally, I think you only did this for the attention... lol (nice work as usual)

Thanks for all the good words guys. I've gone back and added comments between the pics.

IvelDesigns · 10-21-2008, 12:55 AM

wow man. there's no way i'd could even plan out something like this, let alone actually do it.

great work on this. I envision many more magazine spreads in your future....

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-21-2008, 01:04 AM

Frizzle, I have been watching every update you have made on this. I was wondering when you were going to get to the doors. Looking sharp, good luck with the progress. Trevor

What the...

Only having fun, don't take offense anyone

Looking great... can't wait to see how you tackle the B pillar and front of the door...

Rokcrln · 10-21-2008, 07:47 PM

The front of the door is his B pillar

that is weird....
I was looking at work...er...i mean on a "different computer" and there was a grey bar across the pic, now I'm home and it isn't there

Frizzle Fry · 10-22-2008, 02:57 AM

You guys can't be left alone for five minutes

The B-Pillar will be part of the rear door as Rok mentioned. Like this (pillarless):

mosesburb · 10-22-2008, 03:23 AM

I stayed up waaaay too late last night going back to start at page one and re-reading the entire thread again. I had been keeping up with it by reading the updates, but by going back to the beginning it put it back into the amazing category that it should be in. Your determination, skill, vision and planning are awe inspiring

. At times I think my project is alot of work requiring much forethought, but compared to what you have going on, there is no comparison.

Thanks for the fantastic detailed photos and write-ups!! Seeing the process of transformation is way beyond cool.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2008, 07:39 AM

Ooops, misunderstood...

Thanks guys. I do it all for you

mosesburb, your cummins project is nothing to scoff at.

I don’t think I ever posted this pic in this thread: This is what it looked like when I brought it home from eBay (eastern Oregon). There's my old 69 stepper in the background. Within a week the Burb raped the stepside of all the suspension goodies (5-lug, discs, drop spindles, springs, lowering blocks, 17" wheels...). Factory big block, 2wd, 1/2 ton.

Rokcrln · 10-23-2008, 02:05 AM

yeah thats great and all but we all want more 4th door build pics!!!!!!!!!!!

Frizzle Fry · 10-23-2008, 02:12 AM

Here’s the latest. Lot’s of work with not much to show for it. I've been working on the inner structure of the door. To give it some rigidity I'm using the stamped piece that normally resides in the front of a PS front door for the DS rear and the piece from the DS front will go in the PS rear. These are spot welded in place with about 25 welds each. So good drill bits are a must just to free them from the donor doors.

Since the rear of the doors are just a shell they do not provide a good mounting point for hinges, let alone a single hinge set-up. So these will provide a second layer and added support for the hinge mount.

Another victim:

Not so fun…

It took some fitting and trimming to get it to work on the opposite side of the door. Here’s a test fit:
