To use FLICKR, click on the gray word "slideshow" on the right side and again, remember, you are going back in time to when I picked up the pieces.

Now, for the question... 1928 Chevy truck.

The cab frame is wood. The previous owner commissioned the Amish in our community to duplicate the top and several of the wood pieces. They do beautiful work. The truck cab pieces (wood) were stored in an old abandoned farm house. It leaked. I had to straighten the warp on the top, and duplicate three pieces of wood that were rotten. That went fine.

The cab metal facade pieces were a challenge but I learned. Now for the doors.

They are in good shape now and ready to be hung, but since the wood is new and considering the door hinges screw into that wood, there is no guide or easy way to place the doors in the opening and mark the holes to be drilled.

Now, I have installed enough hinges in my life, to know that you drill one hole for each of the three hinges, and if the door, in this case, sits properly, then you can drill the other holes and make it permanent.

My question is, with the door in place, and closed properly, how do I mark the hole to drill it? In other words, with the doors closed and in place, you cannot see the hinge holes... so how do you do it? Ideas and suggestions welcome.... thanks....
