Moving to welding up my chopped 33 (5W) coupe doors and removed all of the goofy wood the previous owner tried to install. Anyone have any pics of doors with metal framing?...Just to get an idea where to begin. Need to leave room for glass/tracking..but would like the latch hardware installed so I  can "slam the doors shut"! ;D

thanks

I used 1" square tubing around the perimeter of the door. I pie-cut and bent it slightly as needed to follow the contour of the door. Then I tacked it to the door frame and welded up my pie cuts. Solid as a rock and I'm not done yet. I will post some pictures tomorrow.  Jim

I have a buddy that is building a 34 standard 3 window coupe. I have a few pics of what he has done. the man is a genius.  He has cut down his wing windows because he thought they were to large from the factory. I hope it helps.

EDNY:
