doors:
i wanted power windows without spending a lot of money.
a friend gave me a set of new (in 06) dodge durango power scissor regulators.
it took a bit of figuring before i cut the door and cut i did, a big ol hole.
i mocked up the regulator on a piece of wood to figure out where to mount and the travel required.
i ended up mounting the regulator on the door panel, all the access holes are for reaching screws.
mock up down
mock up up with door panel mount
door cut out
door assembled
i have shaved door handles. problem with a task force truck is the door glass is very close to the inner door skin. this makes positioning the solenoid difficult. i looked at placing it down low on the door and decided to make it easy by locating the solenoid on the outside of the door. i used new original style door latches.
then i started on door panels by cutting some 1/4'' luan plywood
make a frame work to fiberglass to
and some fiberglass, a smucking of filler and a lot of sanding...
add a little vinyl
some carpet, speakers and an armrest pad
some wheres in the middle of all this, i looked at rebuild my vent windows.
the wings and frames were rusty, it would have been $800 to replace the frames.
brothers one-piece-windows kit was on sale for $189, so i change to one-piece windows.
