Now see this is what happens when you don't pay attention to the gap on the door as you tape it, to the body, for finale placement: as a friend suggested, file the tubes down as they do butt up to the corner of the dog leg, or, use plastic sheet to fill the gap:  |

The interior madness, must now begin, I didn't like it so now I'm gonna change it, it will have a kusom center console, that wraps around the back seats, from the dash:  First order of business, lose the back seat, I scribe'd and saw'd my way thru:  Rebuilt the floor, and some of the side pannel's, using just some .010 sheet plastic:   Now here it is with the seats mock'd up, will clean up the seam's so they look one piece, I got them from a mustang kit, don't know which one, just that they were in a box, mark'd Mustang:   |

Ok we had som issues, but we got past them , here is a shot of the kustom consule:  Broke the post at the windshield and roof line, so we replaced it with the '59 convert, frame, it is stronger anyway:   As you will also notice, we add'd some lower body support just under the door opening:  Here is what it looks like with, the new frame, some minor touch up and it will look like part of the car:   |

Yeah I know, not much of an update, but its 4 am and im KOOKING BABY!!!!!!!, where the hell did I leave that FREAKING SAW!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, now that, that is all done, we move on, here you will cut, or well scribe out the door panels, PLEASE BE CAREFUL, take your time, and let the tool do the work for you, you see some nasty, tight curves here at the top of the door, at the front, just fallow the line, slow and easy, here are some shot's of what you want, you will not need that bottom lip at the bottom of the door, but keep them on the front and back panels:   You see i have already put the rear panel onto the interior bucket, you need to do this, and the front panel too, you will be using them to line up the door panel, once those are dry enough.... |

TOTALLY SICK MAN, SUPER COOL...ANYWHERE ON HERE I CAN SEE YOUR EXPLANATION OF CUTTING THE DOORS OUT PERFECT, LIKE YOU DID THESE ? OK, here goes, the tool I use'd to do all the cut's was a dental pick, now, you can use what they call a scribing tool, or you can use the back of a brand new # 11 Exato blade, angle whatever you use, ahhhh, about 45 degree's away from you, but straight with the body, drag the tool, go slow and easy, you can tell your getting somewhere, when at the end there is cork screw of plastic, I repeat tho slow and easy, you don't need allot of pressure, We had a minor misshap and I had to go look for another door, good thing I had 4 of them, yeah try'd to change directions, and my brain went an skid', total wipe out, anyway back on track will update soon..... |
