Door Alignment
O.K. Guys,
I really need your help!!!! I am building a '35 Five Window Coupe and it has me majorly perplexed! My problem is with the Door Alignment. I have replaced the Door Hinges and pins with the original type (Wecott's-not Hidden Hinges).
The Door gaps are fine around the front of the Door and the first half of the top of the Door. If you look at the back of the Door where the Body lines are, I have about a 1-2" sag (depending on which side you look at).
I know they talk about placing shims under the Body mounts on the '29-'34 Roadsters, but they say the Bodies on the '35's and up were more rigid, and do not recommend ships (even if they did, I can't imagine putting 2" of shims under the Body!).
Anybody out there have any experience or knowlege on this issue?
Thanks for listening and the replies,
Craig
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
