    hmm as in on the actual door itself? I have not, good idea! Because the door itself actually sits inside the frame quite nicely when its not bolted down. Can you recommend a good window urethane? Or just any black urethane from home depot? for putting the glass in, think those orange...

    The front door ends up wanting to hit the roof area when closing it with the hinges tightened down. I knew this woudl happen becuase no matter that i tried to the the A pillar relatively in line in a vertical plane and have the cowl/windshield area measure out properly it would lay 2 degrees...

    Hope these work. Ill be back in the shop on sunday morning hopefully get this bitch welded up. i think mocking the doors up will be best way to make sure everything is good. You can see thenissue at the rear door drip rail how they cave in together. I know the c pillar roof...

    you are probably right, didnt think of that. Just as low as you can to get a straight line. THe masking tape you put up was a huge help as well. I got really frustrated last night and this morning working on it as the measuremtns for the A and B pillar wernre lining up, the cowl has a 2" gap...

    The good news from all this is: it forced me to pull my dash and I can replace the floor/deforst vacuum motor because the arm broke off my old one, robbed the whole box from the donor cab. I will have floor heat finally!!

    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    even after a bunch of pulling the A pillar was still 2 degrees out, so i decided to jsut cut the whole deal out and weld in new. I have to remake the upper windshield mounting area because the donor was rusted out but thats not a big deal. Put in 3 hours last two nights and an hour before work...

    The pic with teh red door on is before we pulled straight on the A pillar again. THe gap is almost perfect along the door to a pillar area now. The roof is a bit popped out, figure woudl porbably best for all sealing surfaces and aesthetics to jsut replace the panel.

    Runaway Diesels Do's And Don'ts

    dont put it in exhaust, 1) soot 2) the engine will still be able to climb the revs and build some pressure in the exhaust. It may die or it may blow something off and continue running away. Or it may hang the valves open and damage the engine. Putting it in the intake will not let the...
