I just scored 2 free doors, with good glass for my 61. The doors are junk, and really rusty, but the hardware on the doors is still good. Also all the glass is good, that is why I wanted them.

Here's the issue. How do I take the doors apart? I want to get to the assembly and save as many parts as I can.

Thanks,

Kyle

Lay them flat on your work surface, outside skin down, and go to work. Common tools are all that is needed to disassemble a door, with the exception of a "clutch-head" screw driver tip, that may be needed on some of the screws on the early '60-'63 doors.

Wow. Thanks guys! Mark thank you for the pictures and diagrams, I really need to get a proper shop manual. I was able to get a pair of doors for free from a guy at work. They are rusted to pieces, but all the glass is good and lots of hardware parts to scavenge. So I have all the parts I need, now I just need the motivation to get my butt out to work on it!!
