We're going for a
very stark interior - only the seats will be upholstered. So we needed to
do the interior doors so they would look correct in a commercial vehicle.
We decided the '32 truck door would be perfect. The only problem is it's
about 5 1/2" narrower (that's after shortening the delivery door 1 1/2").
We'll just 'grow' the panel to fit the delivery doors. We'll also need to
remake the garnish moulding to fit, being the moulding is part of the
panel. |
 |
Some careful
cutting and we now have panel separated from the pickup door.
|
 |
Here's where we made the cuts - we'll add about 2 3/4" on each side of the triangle access door. This way it will stay centered.
|
 |
About half way there. Care must be taken as to not distort the metal which will just make things harder come time to paint. |
 |
We're done adding the metal, now just need to address the changes to the garnish moulding.
|
 |
It's now attached to the delivery door, we are beginning to make the access door. We'll roll a nice raised area on the access door and finish up the garnish moulding.
|
 |
Access door is done, and we've added the window and door mechanisms and handles. Should look really cool in black with the polished stainless screws and the chrome handles. |
 |
Here you can really see the
difference in the two doors. Now on to the other side...
