Re: My Build - 1955 2nd Series Short Bed Stepside
More progress!!!!
After reviewing the modifications required to install the one-piece window kit, I decided to just take the vent window setup from my spare doors and install it in my doors. After the paint cured I installed the door window hardware from the old door... It will probably be swapped out later with newer glass/frames but I wanted to get the glass in so I can install the doors.
Bear in mind that my poor iPhone had a very difficult time with the light contrast on the black doors...
Doors with window hardware, all primed up on the exterior, painted on the interior
Then I installed new Doors with new hinges
After I installed the doors, I put new locks in the door handles and installed them
Then I test-fit the door panels
and figured I would throw the door handles on as well
And I didn't take much of the exterior, so here is the one photo I have off hand of how the passenger door looks from the exterior
Now I can finish fitting the front end and worry about the brake light wiring... almost time to go cruising!
Thanks for looking...
