Hi all,
I had posted earlier about how a friend and I had welded in a reinforcement kit on the rockers. Our welding got overzealous and now the doors stick. I ordered the kit from tangerine racing, and followed instructions. Basically cut piece of kit out on each side and used tools to push opening back to original. Weld metal strips underneath each door opening. Worked until car was set back down and doors are a little better but still too tight. I think I am at the point where I am going to have to cut out the kit. After I do that I will use tangerines kit again to stretch door openings. From there I am looking for advice from the gurus as far as the best way to keep the rockers and door openings the same. This is what I do know. Welded too much with too much heat. I won't make that mistake again. I appreciate all suggestions and advice. Thanks much, Gary |
