Got about 4 hours in yesterday. Wife is working this weekend and I am watching our 2 year old. I would have her help work on the suburban but she doesn't like loud noises.
Had to reshape the bottom of the door. The front of the rocker panel is fitted for the front curve of the door, but I used the rear part of a passenger door so the body contour is right but the curve is different on the bottom. So I had to blend the two.
Not only do I have to design the parts, I have to make them and put them together. This is the reason for the slow progress. This is the first time I have done something this custom. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I need to make a part.
Also found the original latch will fit. Tested the door skin and it lines up so the handle will work. Very tight inside. Am going to have handles together like old Lincolns. Using original truck handles.
