box doors

Since we got her, this has been a problem, the driver’s door that shuts, can be locked, but never looks closed. That’s as closed as it gets. Who can rectify this, a body shop, or someone different. Is it the hinges bent out of shape by age, or could a collision knock the frame out of whack?

I can't remember how these clips go when installing the door panels. Can someone shed some light or a photo showing how these go on please? One side goes in a hole (door or panel?). the other side is a tab. I'm getting too old.... :) Tony

Figured I’d post how I repaired my drivers side door lock pawl. The ball broke off of the pawl and remained inside the hardened plastic socket on the door lock arm. I have fixed this problem before, so I figured I’d try it again. I went to my local hobby shop and purchased this heavy duty ball...

Overwhelmed at the task of trying to figure out where the cable needs to run in a dark, space with little room to move without loosing skin on hands. Anyone had the same problem in getting window to run smoothly up and down. New runners, some lubricant. Haynes workshop manual not much help...

I am thinking about attempting to build door cards for Gary’s ‘86. I will use the old cards as a template for the holes and cut outs. They look pretty straight forward. I am wanting to use a material like nylon or something that will not break at the door card clips. Something that will last...

Installing different passenger door. Going well but I have just a giant snarl of window winding cable. Is there a step by step instructional to do this?

If any of you have removed the door handles, you may be familiar with some of the problems that can happen. Broken pushrod ends, bent linkages, and the dreaded broken pawl. On my 78, the pushrod ends practically disintegrated on one side and on the other they were holding on quite robustly. I...

Re-keying door locks/ swapping lock cylinders??? UPDATE Hey All, I want to re-key a new set of door handles to the existing keys for the current door locks (which match the trunk/engine lock and glove box lock). I thought I had this figured out as being an easy swap of the barrels/cylinders...
