    Striker plate is in place ,had to extend the plate forward so went behind the front fender to close the opening & be a splash guard.
    Also got the drivers door hinge pocket in place .
    Was going to do just one door as like the look of swinging opposed, but just can't stop the fabing! :cool:

    Not marine speakers,German made horns,not loud enough ,so installed a train horn behind the bumper!
    And in regards to the hinges & rear hinge bucket,all photo's are posted ,look through the whole post!
    Stock hinges,from oppose sides of the doors & the end panels. Custom made rear hinge bucket,used chrome-molly.
    Swings like stock doors,door tucks into the body,same as it did @ the front! Not outside the body ,or to 90 degrees! :cool:
