A Frame Off Restoration

Restoration Passenger Side

Next the passenger side door
Having completed the driver side door, now we turn our restoration activity to the passenger side. First we removed all the hardware, widow frame and braces. Having the experience with the driver side door helped a lot. We new how it came apart by the trial and error of the first one. Isn't experience great!

Phase II Restore

With the easy part behind us it' was time to start restoring or replacing parts. This took the longest time because each piece had to be cleaned, inspected, refurbished or replaced. It was fun to learn about each component and gratifying to see each part repaired and ready to install.
