I want to raise my rear wheel wells to fit the rear tires and also want to flush fit my doors. I would appreciate any picture of your method for the doors and the rear wells, and any advise you can add. I'm still working on the floor framing and reskinning my doors right now, but the flush fit is the next step.[ATTACH]
Sounds like a nice build, lookin forward to seeing some more picks
Its bben along time when I moved the fender wells up I think I did 2". I marked it about 1" above the body line, cut rolled on offsett bead( with eastwood tool, tacked the welded. As far as the doors go, never again
Lots of work, suicide, flushed, radiused, bear claws(small). Cut the hinges off because they were to rusted, welded up openings, cut the back and top of door openings, about 1\8 gap all around, mounted hinges. Pulled off doors. I bent some the offsett lip up on a brake for the door to sit in, but, to many curves didnt work. I used flat sheet, and 1/2 sq. tubeing to make the step for the door sit in. The front of the door was already done, just top and back to do. Too much work Not perfect bad as a hobby builder I dont think its badd. Look at my picks in the other pages. The only reason I flushed I could not get any body lines to match up.I had a ruff beat up body I all lines up now Still got alot of work to do before paint
