ok so i had some more time yesterday and today. got the hinge pockets welded in and the door swinging. my only concern is that i might not have tightened the bolts enough cause when i opened the door it dropped a tad. i have picked up on the door and have also been shaking it. nothing seems to be weak. the only issue with it is when i pick it up at the end there seems to be some "slack" at the hinge where it bolts into the pocket. i made sure the brass spacers where in the there but who knows. the door does shake back and forth when you shake it but i just blame it on my hinges being close together. Dave....oh Dave, maybe some input over here brother...lol well heres a pic

It sounds like you just need to fine tune the hinges angle of the dangle. Looks hot! I can't wait to see that beauty laid out on the green, door open wide. ...Check your PM for gettin tilted too. -ED

ok so i went back outside and fiddled with it again. did some pulling, tugging, and twisting and got it almost aligned up to my liking. i need to loosen the lower hinge and tilt the door upwards but i need some more hands to do that. now its on to the latches. this is beginning to be a pain in the dick.

its cold outside, door still sags. work has been busy (thank god!). i pulled it off and threw another door on it for now (good to have extra shit laying around...lol). gonna do some bracing in the door and the cab, stick it on and see what it looks like from there.
