Re: Another Crewcab build

Ok, here's the rear door. I'm starting to get better at window frames. So I decide to start there. Quick nip and tuck at the top, and the bottom swung back into place. I braced the top to the inside first so it wouldn't move around. The window frame is pretty floppy when its cut loose.


The door curves in for the front 4 inches or so. I split the door jam, and clamped the outter skin to a piece of angle iron to hold it straigh, then filled in the gap left. There's still lots to be done to get the inside jam to line up. The front pillar is definatly thinner than the rear. I'm still not sure what to do about it. The window channel is 3/4 wide just like the rear, so I can't just split the jam, and widen it. I either have to split it inside & out, and widen both sides, or live with a slight misalignment on the inside.


Well, time to quit for the weekend. Here it is clamped to the front door. There is still some work to do to line them up, but I'm feelin like its doable.
