Started suicide door.

After a long wait, Me and Doc(ih8ford)Started on the suicide door,

This is the hinge we'll be using,


http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/I...D:100000323983

Pretty crazy how all these wires where getting stripped from rubbing on the panel,


And the bolt doc stripped













Here's where we ran into a problem, The hinge was hitting in the back,

Re: Started suicide door.

Had to cut out some more metal behind the hinge and cut the back of the hinge off,






Had the trim up the back brace,



Top hinge ready to go,







It's pretty high on the door, But we should be able to get everything welded nicely..


Will update when we make more progress!



Thanks Doc!

Thats what I was thinking. Way to much cut-off wheel action for me! And I never even thought about the wire relocate when I see suicide doors.
