Hanging Doors alone.
We've all been there where we need a helping hand, but there's no one around. I'm at the stage of restoration where the doors will be on and off several times in a short period and I'm always working solo. This facilitates installation of the hinges while holding the door safely in place.

Re: Hanging Doors alone.
Great idea. I have always made do with varying thicknesses of compressible foam on the sill.

Re: Hanging Doors alone.
Nice idea... I have no idea why that car needs them-the door fit and all the rest of the body panels are absolutely perfect!

Re: Hanging Doors alone.
Thanks Gary. I was fortunate to find a car with "strong bones" above the floors, but the floors were rotten. So still a lot of work to this point. The car still retains the original outer sills.Gary Schulz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 11:21 pm Nice idea...
