Again, Im definately IN!!!! Please keep me informed.

I do have 3 original rear passenger doors that I don't know what to do with? It won't let me post a picture on here! The plastic is dried up and cracked. But the hardware is good!

I will be at Tower Park Friday the 20th September!

Hey John, I somehow missed you at Tower Park. Russ and I put our heads together on the door project, and it's moving forward, hardware first. I'm going to make 8 sets, hope to show some progress by the spring meet.

Hinrik,
I think there's 5 or 6 sets spoken for. Nothing is firm besides me and Russ getting a set each. There has been interest here, and that is what I am basing the quantity on. However I don't want to get ahead of ourselves until we have something to show, not to mention a price. I am hoping that by April I will be able to do that, and for the lack of anything else, this thread will act as the list.
Thanks for your interest, Tim

Hinrik,
Yes I would love to see photos of the doors, and if possible determine if the hinge castings are cast iron or brass. I have found both. A magnet will tell.
Thanks, Tim

These are the first rough casting to come back from the foundry. I think they'll clean up nicely.Image
