I may do a little work to the motor but nothing much.

Driveway Dreams · 01-23-2010, 07:34 PM

Looking good man!

ratty 46 · 01-23-2010, 11:13 PM

That was a very good alternative ...... most, if any, would not have thought to do that.

Good choice.

Thanks, it seemed to be the easiest option to go with.

How Long did it take you to weld the the window channel in? That looks like a lot of work to keep it cool? What gauge filler did you use? Looks smooth and correct. Glad you chose the door mod over larger vent window. The roof looks clean and original.

To widen the pillar only took about an hour. The filler is 22ga which is a little thinner than stock but it is all I have access to locally.

squareshane33 · 01-28-2010, 10:08 PM

dv8customs · 01-29-2010, 11:23 AM

Thanks guys, going to be a bit before I have any updates. I am going to be helping a buddy suicide the rear doors on his crew cab the next couple of weekends.

Driveway Dreams · 01-29-2010, 11:43 AM

dv8customs · 02-06-2010, 07:19 PM

Haven't had much time to work on the truck but today I got the inner part of the door moved over to match the outside

jrsmith_2010 · 02-06-2010, 07:32 PM

dv8customs · 02-06-2010, 07:34 PM

dv8customs · 02-08-2010, 07:24 PM

He ran short on time so it will be after the end of the month now before we get on it.

Driveway Dreams · 02-08-2010, 08:01 PM

I just thought of something looking at your pictures. Did you move your lock hole? It looks like you cut around it. It would be easy enough to get the lock rod lined up and a hole drilled for it but it made me wonder.

dv8customs · 02-08-2010, 08:14 PM

I did move it but it won't matter since my doors are shaved....

Driveway Dreams · 02-08-2010, 10:21 PM

Very true. So what are you gonna do for door panels? Build em?
