never had such a hard time getting the doors off a car 1 man shop problems as the title says ... mild chop on a beautiful late 31 coupe with no patch panels in the body !
Made up this piece so it's like a 32 styled insert since the visor was welded on ages ago Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
still some work to go cleaning up the chop a hair and adding fasteners to the walden insert so it will be removable
Another very happy customer coommmin up......shear craftsmanship. Great work @Flop. Thanks for sharing your metalsmithing adventures.
Some years ago Cad-Lasalle came over to my house with a couple of other buddies to do a 4 inch chop on my A coupe. Cad-Lasalle hammer welded as much as he could and it came out beautiful. After it was all done we measured it and it came out to 3 15/16. We still laugh about it.
I just noticed that you weld lumps onto the door to cowl hinge screw "heads / slots", then weld nuts to the lumps... very... very good idea... consider it stolen ! thanks

Great work, I've been thinking about using a Walden insert for a removable top. Will be watching this thread closely.
Those are all things good! Well done, looking forward to seeing more Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
