49 3800

Been awhile building this one. Rebuilt drivetrain sitting in frame waiting for body. Were getting close to hanging doors and setting on frame.

Hope to put body on frame in two weeks. Body stand will be available if anyone is interested. It attaches to factory mount locations.

Re: 49 3800

Well been two weeks or better, not quite ready to set on frame. Doing glass and replacing door window track wheels. Having more problems with reproduction door latch on passengers side. Waiting on another replacement. Can't install window until replacement is in.

Re: 49 3800

I'm certain the drivers door didn't work well from day 1. We found the reinforcement plate must have slipped out of position during spot welding. You can see we drilled the spots and pushed the plate inboard and rewelded. This door works perfect now. Not so on passengers side but new latch has a bit of a drag in mechanism so we ordered another.
