Thanks for the help.

(sold it) The answer I got was that it could be done but was a big pain in the butt. I sold the door and found me two good 52 doors and moved on. Maybe someone else has actually done it and will chime in later. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 | thanks for the help....heres the problem I am faced with. My 50 has wing window doors on it, that are rotten at the bottoms. A while back, I got all the patch panels to make my doors nice again. In the meantime, a real nice non-wing window door has "landed" in my parts pile, with no rustout anywhere. So I dont know which direction to go.

Some of the bracket inside are spot welded on and removal and replacement is going to drive you batty. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | The wingless doors are more attractive. I would use them as they came,
