ok, so I missed my deadline but like a spoiled brat I have MANY EXCUSES.
the first is the title work on the new place popped into place and we got a 24hr notice of closing.
next, I was tired of fiddling with the drivers door, the fit was AWFUL, it kept grabbing the front edge of the door and it was in the jamb really crooked. I guess if someone banged me around for 20-30 years I wouldnt fit really well either. I suspected my repaired upper hinge was part of the problem so I visited the shop and stole a hinge off the next truck "BAM"
and found a door in the pile that looked ok
with those parts it fit and shut better than a weeks worth of fiddling with the other door.
but it didnt match really well so I scritched and scratched and used some young rodder tips and some new tips I will share later and made it look pretty close. even the red dot!
I need to switch over the glass and new felts, good thing I didnt glue em in!
more in the next post
