Re: Long Time Coming......

I still need to fit and weld in the cab corners. Before I do I needed to hang the doors so I know the cab corners will fit right. With the doors hung and fitted as best I could, I could now see the gaps and how far off they were. And this was after an hour of getting the door to fit as good as possible. And for anyone wondering, I won't finalize the gaps until I get the cab back on the chassis and bolted down solid. I'm hopeful nothing will change because I was really careful when I made this cart to have it square and flat as could be.

As you can see the door edge at the rear is basically touching.



And yet not too bad on the top of the window frame at the rear.


This was the front edge with just a little bit of grinding.


This will need to be built up some... It is too wide for me.


And finally the rear area between the door and cab after grinding and getting it to be 3/16"
It will still need a little work, but overall much much better.
