Looking great Glen! The Essex is still running fine, had it on a 1000km weekend earlier this last summer and it ran flawless...[cl[cl

I can't believe how long it takes, I got the drivers door complete inside and out, I still have some plannishing to do, but happy with how it
turned out.

Sometimes we all need a little push.[ddd
Good way to stay warm for a while, all that hot metal.[ddd[;)
It looks good and straight in the pics.[;)
Keep it up, you'll be on the road by spring![cl[P[P
 
Worked all week end on the passenger door. It's all welded up and tweeked to fit. I hadn't noticed when I was fitting the door latch that the temporay bolts holding the lower hinge on had come loose, so when I tightened them up a lot of adjusting was needed. The origional hinge sized up and someone forced the door open breaking out the door and A pillar mounts, leaving me with about 6 hours of repair.

Thanks Bob, I'm hoping to use real door handles, a friend gave a real nice set of torpedo shaped ones. It's just going to take some imagineering to use them with the bear claw latches.

I'm with Tripper - looking really good.

Dozer, this is beautiful to watch!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks Bill and MM, just gotta keep moving ahead.
