I'm nearly three years in having "professionals" work on getting the body and mechanicals of my 1952 3/4 ton Chevrolet pickup rebuilt and "we're" nearly done.
But they've pretty much lost interest at this point and we're back at square one on getting the passenger side door to shut. It's "closed" now after being slammed so hard it took paint off the door frame AND there is blue sky visible from the inside between the top of the door and the frame. And it won't open. Ah well.
So . . . I've researched the threads here and there's plenty of door info but it would be nice to find a shop within a 100 miles of Woodbridge, VA that would take the time to get it right.
Any ideas?

Not sure, but i have seen some of their work on body work, seemed pretty good. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

It's certianly worth the call and or visit, I'm sure they are capable of solving your door fit troubles properly.
