yeah...driver's door gets used the most - always first to fail. Great car you have. I'm an FE fan from long ago - I ran a 390/401hp in a 46 Merc coupe many years ago. It was a screamer with 3.90s in a 57 SW rear end. I currently have one of Shelby's finest, had it for years and I still wring it out once in awhile.

Keep having fun with that car - your engine is just about bulletproof.
