Just get the ole hammer and dolly out Mick and tap up the edge. Hinge the door frame up on the body and adjust the length of the door skin to fit. That's what i did when i made the front door skin for my daughters EK.

that's not a bad looking rooted body sounds like a good buy with the price of H/KTG stuff, break it up and ebay it

2.78 with a gray and 3 speed

think you'll need a good supply of clutches, go a 3.55 keep the 2.78 slipery for ebay

yep say no to the 2.78
I still belive in most peoples missconceptions about greys (those that have actualy owned/driven them) is due to poor gearing

Yeah ,Ill agree with you guys.
Oh well Ill have to sell it for hun dreds on evilbay then

Or maybe I could put the 307 ,saginaw and ten bolt in,
