Anybody have any insight on the doors on our old ponys?
I've had to take both doors off in the prep-for-paint process, and fitting them back on seems much more difficult than logic would tell me it should be. First of all, I know it complicates things that my hinges are pretty badly worn, but new hinges aren't on the horizon for a while. In the mean time, I'd like to get some sort of decent fit. So far, if I have the door hung so that it shuts well, and is reasonably aligned in relation to the top of the door at the 1/4 panel, the clearance is really tight at the bottom edge where it lines up with the 1/4 panel/door jamb area, and the gap at the fender is huge, with no adjustment room left. What a pain!
If there are no good solutions or mystery answers, it might suffice to hear your own horror stories. My misery would love some company.
