February 19, 2012: Doors

Before Picture of the Door

 
 
 
 
Work begins on the driver side door. Both the main window and the vent window work off of a crank. 
 
The third handle you see is the remote door lever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Driver Side Door Stripped

 
 
 
Started by removing the interior window molding.  Noticed that the two screws at the top of the molding were phillips heads. Not period authentic!  Also, all the screws were missing the finish collars.
 
Notice on the door the welding marks?  Looks like the door was pulled apart so the window glass could be replaced.  Integrity is still good so we will just clean it up.
 
 
 
 

Passenger Side Door Stripped

 
 
 
Same for the passenger door.  Pulled the handles, molding, and pannel off.  In the center of the door is where you will see the stamp from the previous post.
 
We removed the wind lace that surrounds the door opening.
