Has anybody ever bought the doors before the rest of the finish kit?

I would like to get started on the doors but don't want to spend all the money for the finish kit yet. Does anybody know if this is possible?  [/b]

Since shipping alone for the finish kit was $990.00, I recommend you save

the wasted extra shipping charge and get the whole kit.

Hey MDS,



Maybe I've missed the point of your question, but everyone (us included) needs to have the canopy installed so that when you put the inner and outer shells of the doors together they conform to the exact curve of the canopy ...?  Bounce back if that doesn't address your issue.



Later, - Lew

Already have the canopy fitted and want to work on the doors. I figure the doors will take up a good share of my summer before I need the rest of the kit. When I'm done with the doors than I can start to make molds for interior trim panels.

OK, I get it now.  Sure, pick them up if it's that convenient.  I think I fit the doors in a couple of long weekends, then fiddling with the latch mechanisms, hinges, opener shocks, etc. was fun -- but then I tend to get obsessed.  Still, I doubt if you can spend a whole summer on them!  I just did the 45> on the edges, but next time I'll probably go with the tape/build up edges trick described here earlier.  



Get the windows as well, since that can really firm the doors up and change the fit (so put them in with the doors closed and latched).  And don't try to saw the plexi -- the cut off die grinder worked great for me.



Later, - Lew

Thanks for the advice. I have a perfection problem from my days of building corvettes for shows and won't stop until every line and gap is perfect. Also door seal crush will be exact. This illness takes a lot of time and money to get relief.
