    Really pretty workmanship. The details are what make a car interesting to look at, and this one has lots of them.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Don't let your boy see this............it may add another year or two to his build time. You know he's got the skill and interest!!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Nice.. since I don't have that kinda skill and the equipment, would cost more than my house if I had to pay someone to do it.

    yes ok but ? still think it would need less crown? if not just think it may been easer to go in to the front or back of ther skin and off set the cut .but the crown would stay the same in the mid point or roll out a new skin for less crown but he
    did it and it did look geat .i justget a bit jumpy welding thru the center of a door skin not slaming him.i have not did any work on any 32 doors in some time

    From the looks of the body work, he cut the door in the middle to narrow it - to correspond with lengthening the area behind the door. He said it was to give it a more commercial look.
