Re: 55 make over

nice work. thanks for posting pics too. I also use paint sticks for gap checks and use the same kinda procedure for setting up the hinges. it's great that these trucks have the hinge bolts accessible when the door is closed. I also use tape and a sharpie to mark thngs like hinge set points when I am doing the door on, door off thing when I get it right I usually drill a 1/8 hole through the parts so after dissassembly and paint it is easier to line stuff up like it was during mock up. a roll pin set in place there can help too.
