Or would they rather see someone turn it into a functional and esthetically pleasing vehicle that comes from the same heart they had?

    I guess any of those commenters claiming the doors won't work have never seen a car from 1938 through 1950 when pretty much EVERY car door looked like that and yet through brute force and ignorance.... still managed to open.
    Or, maybe car doors didn't open for a decade plus..... I don't know....

    That is fantastic, mate! What a fantastic look and such a logical way of taking care of a problem with the door opening. Might have taken a fair bit of extra time to sort out, but the result speaks for itself and is so much simpler in the long run. Love the profile template trick too, so will look up that channel you mentioned and add it to my watchlist.
    That project is going to come along so quick once the logistics of building the styling panels have been sorted. This is fascinating stuff as I would not have had any clue whatsoever in regard to how to even start making them! Even with the partial recreation using the old door panel just suddenly brought the whole finished truck to life in a new way for me, so to see it doing what it is meant to do when things open and close is just fantastic!

    Hey Kyle, It’s Georgina here, Steve’s wife - suffering from a censurable ‘Western Canadian Dialect’ issue myself ;) Hail from the ‘Peg, and almost always worked with men, around planes, and on construction crews, sorta rubbed off. Anyhow, we watch a lot of channels together and have recently got onto yours. We’re close to opening a channel of our own soon, about cars, cooking and the crasy places we drive our old cars to see other cars or eat food. You’ve done an admirable F/=]ing Great job of it!!! We 100 % support your hands on approach to the challenge of getting your doors on the truck to open and look classy and slick all at the same time. No need to cramp your brain with some design program you’d hardly ever use. You’re not a scientist, you’re true an artist and an entertainer. That’s what car customiser folks are. Customizing is not about keeping cars ‘out of the box’, ‘Concours’ or ‘matching the door plate codes’. GO for it! Also appreciate your dry wit and classical music over the sped up fabrication parts. So BRAVO to you and your technique. Can’t wait to see how this all works out. BTW kudos on butchering the rusty, bent, hacked up louvres out of that door. Woo Hoo!
