1933 Ford coupe opening doors

[ScaleModelRestoration]

Doing a 1933 ford coupe older issue (was still sealed when i received it)
I am opening the doors and adding door jambs. will all i will be doing, but thought hey! why not share it! so i hope you dont mind.....


(Disclaimer) This wont be finished by me..

I have alot of the work just about finished up on this.......
The door panels have been installed on doors,had to box them on 4 sides..........also have the door stops in so the doors dont open all the way up (just wouldnt look right if that happened)



The start of the door jambs

YES they open way to much!!!not any more tho LOL

Here is a shot of the door panel and some of the door hinge i made


Continued in the next post.............

Round two on photos........

Ok here's another view........ cant see em but i have the door stops in place here........

Can almost make out the drip rail on the passenger side.....man was these brittle! they kept chipping off.........

Now you can see the little strip which is the new drip rail

Here's the door opening lip i put in.....

Here's the driver side half of the lips are done.......



More in next post
