Purple?
How big is the round steel you are using for your upper door frames?

I'm using half inch round bar. With the door gasket installed it wanted to push the upper portion of the door away so I screwed the inner door as tight as I wanted it to be in the end before shaping the inner structure, this way once the screws are removed it should create a tight seal every time I close the door.

Nice job on that frame, just make sure that there is no air gap between the frame and the fiberglass where the hinge and door latch go.  Fill those areas with Kitty Hair or Duraglass so that it will be rock solid.

That's the plan, thanks for the heads up!  ::wave

Inner frame on the passenger door is mostly complete and ready to be fiberglassed to the door. This has given the door lots of strength, should be rock solid once glassed in and the hinge reinforced (some of the flex appears to be in the hinge support)

No inner structure but with the latch and hinge in place I have 1 door that goes up like it should!

Gorgeous!!

Thank you Sir!

I made some blocks to weld to my existing frame with tapped holes so I can keep these rocker supports removable.

Finally got the passenger side sitting pretty, going to start creating as many mounting points as possible to keep everything where I want! Driver's side is loosely fitted once this side is reinforced I will replicate it on the driver's side!

Very nice!!Are you selling these? And do you still sell gas caps?

Unfortunately I do not have plans to make more. I can still do the caps, it may be awhile before I can do one as I don't have any resin at this time. I will let you know when I get more, the short shelf life makes it tough to purchase for 1 item.
