For the driver's side, is the general practice to remove the P-brake handle resting post or relieve the Engman panel and leave the post in place?
Also, I've read a couple opinions about how much "spread" to introduce to the door way to allow for shrinkage after the tub cools down--and to compensate for sag in the body once it's back on its wheels. What's my best strategy? |

I took both doors off (damn things weigh a ton), made braces for the doors out of 1 inch square tubing and welded brackets to the tubing to bolt in the doorway so the body didn't flex. I also drilled all the holes out to 5/8 inch to make stronger welds. I think it's a great idea to do this. It is a very good kit, takes a little massaging to get it fit up right but you will be pleased with the results.
Cheers, Elliot Attached thumbnail(s)
