Re: off it goes
we finally got the doors and the one piece windows where we want them...
when glass was up, it had a small gap at the front of the door so we corrected that problem    next issue, window didn't roll all the way down in the door, so we trimmed the stops

I say go for that fake patina look, yeah, my vote is for rusty looking fake patina, that should complement all the nice metal work, and those perfect gaps |

Re: off it goes
When you removed the bracket on the firewall for the steering and brakes, did you do anything inside the cab to reinforce it?
