Re: 59 Apache - Lifelong obsession

nice work. I am curious if your doors are as bad as mine were. the bracketry inside the door to mount the hinge is cracked in mine. I will need to reskin the bottom of the door anyway so I plan to fix it then. the broken bracket makes the door flex a lot so the fix should help with door gaps and general fitment. also the web of steel between the inner and outer skin, near the bottom edge of the vent window, is cracked as well. the door is really quite flimsy with those parts being compromised. anyway, what made me think of that is the pic of your steps. it may be good to have the door hung at some point there so the lower edge of the door can be fit properly to the rocker. also the step fitment has an affect on the lower hinge pillar location so door fitment could be different when you're done than when you started. just a heads up.
love the pics, keep them coming.
