Thanks royn! your doing a great job also!!

Now the weather has warmed up I can finish the last door to be painted. this door required a total rebuild on the bottom half. Primer this week paint next week

Putting the hinges together after painting them required i take all the paint off on the undersides of the hinge pins, talk about a tight fit?
Now i will have to keep them greased to prevent rust

Passenger door on at last a few scrapes!! but what a job this is to align the door

I like them.

Would you mind posting a link to where you got them? I’d like to go a similar route with mine someday.

Thanks royn I think the wheels look pretty good!

Door fits pretty good. still some gaps that show too much. but not much I can do for now. electric door latch opener and poppers work really well!

Engine bay bottom cover finally done and installed. All Stainless Steel

Doors are installed and working. Mirrors installed, 2 weeks from firing her up!! No fluid leaks so far has been a month since fluids installed. will see what happens when she gets warmed up?? No fuses blown either, looking good so far.
