Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
99 to Life, I am a tool junkie. I love tools. I have bought a lot of them in the past 5 years. When I need to do something I usually buy what I need. Then I have it for the next project.
Tonight I started gaping the doors. They were tight all the way around mostly except the to because when I shaved the drip rail I gaped that then. So I lined up the door and started with the back. I ground it back and then welded the edge. I like to have between 5/32 and 3/16 gap. To grind them I use a small slitter wheel with a 36 grit disc along side of it. It gives the sanding disc a backer but does not cut with the slitter wheel. Because you can not use the rubber backer because it is too thick. And grind till you are happy with the gap. A good way of checking it is with the back of a drill bit.
