tr6bill, have you seen the one where a guy brings home his new shelby mustang and lets his 10 year old son sit in it with the car keys?, the kid got it in gear and drove through the garage and out the back,friends neighbors and relatives standing around watching, poor guy had the new car home for about 10 minutes,:cr check it out on utube..."kid drives mustang through garage". sorry i dont know how to post it here, funny in a tragic kinda way.

Thank god for the terminally clueless, providing work for others the world over.
Amen to that!

anthony....is that the top section of the door with glass in each frame?
 
tony, that one is the very bottom section, her bumper distroyed the two lower most panels they use 1/4" masonite to fill the frame, just that one nice new piece of clear pine you see running across the top cost $127.82, i had to hand modify a router bit to get the correct profile so the rails and styles would fit perfectly, most of these companys have differing cutting heads and some even patent thier design. :savewave:
 
And they WILL NOT sell a PIECE of a door.
 
doc, how true!!,heres what it looks like as an hour ago, bits of the original frame are rough with missing splinter chunks etc, but i think i got the profile right...

Anthony;
Looks like an older panel... that entire door must be quite heavy.
 
babakahawa, your correct especialy now with the maysonite in place, the owner said the doors are original fron the 1970's, its going to be fun hanging them again. :whistle:
 
Nice work, Anthony....too bad you're so far away - I could keep you busy in the GarageMahal!
