| Update #: 1297, Date: 2011-10-21 04:10:12 | | Title: pin for door latch | | Keywords: | | I've decided to use bear claw door latches, and I've been trying to install a pin in the jamb of the driver's door. The mounting bracket for the pin doesn't sit flush with the surface of the door. I've been building a recessed surface to fix that.

| Update #: 1301, Date: 2012-01-01 05:01:06 | | Title: building a door | | Keywords: body | | Today I used my new wooden mallet (which I made from a branch the neighbor trimmed off his oak tree)
to bend the flange at the bottom of the sheet metal for the door skin. (The entire bending rig was some scrap angle iron, a length of tube, and some clamps.)
It fit's pretty well.
I was especially happy with the way it fit around the door hinge....that's much better than on the first door.

This is, BTW, the last major exterior panel....still need to cut and bend the metal for the floor, transmission tunnel, and back seat area. (...and mount the firewall) |

| Update #: 1304, Date: 2012-01-16 01:01:17 | | Title: sheet metal for the back seat | | Keywords: body | | Well, I thoght about the door and stared at it for a while. I am pretty sure that fixing
cutting the horizontal tubes and rewelding them to shorten the door. I did not feel that ambitious, so I worked on the sheet metal for the back seat area. there is a little trimming left to do, and I will need to add some tubes to give the sheet metal a little some support |
