Four Doors and a Running Board

I know it has been awhile and we still have some catching up to do, but we do have four doors now! Unlike the front doors the back doors are curved to match the fender. As you have read in previous posts, this took a lot of maneuvering, cutting, sanding, and fitting to make it all fit together. The rest of the door is the exact same as the front door. Here are a few pictures...



This picture is without the curve piece and the plywood insert. The hard part about this curve is that you have to make sure that the bottom piece is just big enough to fit between the door pillar and the fender. So you have to cut grooves in and curve it to match the curve to match the fender to match the gap...you can see how it gets complicated fast.



This is what it looks like on the car. I really need to get a picture with the trim on it. But if you look real hard you can picture the trim and almost the car done hahaha.


This might be harder to see but there is a groove that is on the back side of the curve so that the door matches with the other curve piece that goes over the fender. There is basically a door stop on the curve of the fender. 

I am really excited that we have four doors now! So basically the whole outside of the car is complete. So stay tuned for more updates.
