Thread: '37 Dodge sedan

The new drip rails left a bit of a gap at the tops of the doors, which wasn't very pleasing to the eye. So, I decided to cut off the door tops and put some extra material in there to fill out the door frames better.

The gap in question

Scribe a line to follow when cutting (don't use sharpie, the line will disappear from the heat of cutting)

Just a little off the top, file the edges smooth and clean all soon to be welded surfaces.

I tacked some straps in place on the back of the door to use for alignment purposes, they'll be removed later.

Fuzzy picture, but it gives a good idea of how much cleaner this area will look when I'm done.
