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

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.

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!
