Re: 1953 3100 "Honey-do"
Thanks everyone for the reply's. I'm certainly not a Metal Magician. I've seen a lot of metal artist on here and other forums that surpass my skills, but I appreciate the compliment.
The last couple of weeks have been cleaning up some little things, welding in the latch pockets and extra holes in the doors, correcting the strikers, rebuilding the passenger door hinges, and starting on the door bottoms.
I solved the mystery of the missing striker. I forgot that I pulled the striker from the Escalade's liftgate. I thought it was for the doors, but it wasn't.
So I ended up re-working the striker area of the door jambs and making a recessed pockets out of 16 gauge 1x2" tube. Then I repeated the process on the driver side.
The mounting holes are oversize to allow the striker to move up/down and in/out to final adjustment of the door.
