Derek, You do awesome work, the english wheel has become your friend. Not many people around these parts have learned how to master one, came in handy on building motorcycles! Again, great camera work, she deserves a medal.
Awesome job on the latch setup! On most of these trucks the belt line bead on the passenger door isn't aligned with the back of the cab. The back of the cab belt line is tipped down. It's a factory defect.
Yes I've seen the flush fit doors, they look very nice when done well. I was trying to stick to the 70's hot rod look on this one so I didn't go with any door mods.
As always a pleasure to watch and hear your explanations of how you approach each task. Look forward to seeing more videos in the coming weeks and months. Happy New Year from England.
Great work Derek There sure was a lot of piecing together different spots to bring it back to a whole working and fitting door times 2 ! Happy New Year to you and Ronda !!
I finally found a set of doors and they are in similar shape to what yours were.. I'm overwhelmed and not sure just where to start. I've watched your video twice already
Mike, hang them on the cab and get the inner frame of the door straight and repaired with the body first so it open s and closes. Then work on the outside skins.
@@coldstreamrodshop the inside are damaged near perfect. I hammered on them slightly but they are pretty good. The jamb on the hinge side are what's scaring me. I'm assuming someone cut the hinges out so I'm not real certain what to save and what to trim
Just found your channel from one of my subscribers. Looking forward to watching more. It’s hard to get these channels going but I’m learning. Good luck and maybe we can do a video together one day.
Phenomenal work! Thank you for showing how you did things. After seeing this, I'm thankful my doors are in great condition. I'm probably in the minority, but I'm glad you didn't chop it.
Thanks! I actually didn't want to chop it from the beginning but also I'm too tall to chop it! I have a hard time looking out the front window of my model A.
😂 these trucks have little room in them, that's mainly why I sold mine to my dad ! I must have took off my grandpa ! My families in the mid to high 5s, me 6'3 ! There tight ! 😂 but very cool !
Yes you're absolutely right, I'm 6'3" as well and it's tight. This is why we didn't chop it. It was hard to get the gas pedal positioned so I don't get leg cramps too!

Enjoyed the video. Looks like your doing a great job on your truck. Keep up the good work.
Happy New Year from FTG, Derek. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Thank you! Happy New year to you as well. All the best in the new year!
A work of art, T/Y.

Derek nice work again, also i seen some guys flush fit the doors on these old trucks and that gives it a nice clean look.

Sounds good! Yes it's hard to get this going. I guess the best thing is to be sincere, have fun and truly like what we're doing!
