I took those images directly from the Speedway web site. The bottom image clearly shows the piano HINGE (not latch ) under the frame/door. I would rivet the hinge to the door when starting the assembly process, will take one less hand that way.

I didn't even see that section on their website to access that - and apparently nobody in technical support at Speedway Motors knows about that either! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
.... now everyone get in their garages and prepare for another build weekend! Thank HAMB'ers!!

it annoys me when i order something and have to finish building it....but i guess that keeps the cost down.
sometimes it is better to get no instructions than wrong or confusing [bad translation] instructions. i recently got a wire harness for a truck, the wires came with number tags and two "charts", one chart gave a list of numbers and what they attached to [ex; #2=gen, #20 fuel gage] then there was a line drawing of the diagram splayed out with no colors or numbers. to make it go easy i had to transfer numbers/colors to the chart. which THEY should have done.

I have to wonder how you were able to make the hole in the floor with no instructions.

Marcus ~ Thank you for taking the time to reply to my request for assistance ~ i truly appreciate your time and knew there were HAMB'ers like yourself who are on here to help ~ not to ridicule me because I'm not as smart as they are when it comes to stuff like this. I like to do it right the first time, and not find out later that I did something wrong, so kodo's to you my HAMB friend, and to all the others who replied with suggestions worth reading. Once again, THANKS!!

Back in the day we would have made the door.

Some of you "brilliant" and professional builders aren't smart enough to answer a simple question. Some of you must get your rocks off on every opportunity to belittle someone else. Make a drama thread out of someone asking for help.

Real classy.

I spent 10 minutes cleaning up this thread...I strongly suggest you guys re-read the rules & guidelines; we don't do drama here.

The HAMB is dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to hoodlums world wide. That's right; TRADITIONAL. If you've come here to discuss anything other than Hot Rods or Customs built in a style representative of 1965 or before, you've come to the wrong forum.

Even if you have come here for all the right reasons, don't expect posting to be easy. We don't cater to new fellas unless they show a dedication to spreading this tradition of ours first. We welcome young, old, foreign, and all; but our original members and our staff expect a certain level of respect and an effort to keep things true and on topic.

Maybe you are an old fart with a past. Maybe you are one of the guys that started this tradition we cherish. We built this place for you and your posts mean the world to us. Hop on and introduce yourself. This is your board.

Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the "do's"; and "dont's"; The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting.

We have very few written rules here on the HAMB and that's the way we like it, but we won't hesitate to dump disruptive posters, ego freaks, or shit talkers. We are all here to learn and teach - please keep your other prerogatives on the sidelines.

................................

Rules:
1. No profanity in subject lines.

2. No political/religious/racial posts at all. No exceptions.

3. No Porn.

4. We cover traditional '65 and older American cars only. All other threads will be deleted. We don't cover rat rods, muscle cars, mustangs, or VWs.

5. No commercial posts.

................................

Guidelines:
1. If in doubt, don't post it.

2. Stay on-topic and relevant with your posts; OT posts aren't generally appreciated by our membership.

3. Gotta easy question? Try using the search function first.

4. While we don't require "introductions," some members do appreciate them so it might be a good idea for you to do one here. Just introduce yourself and let folks know what you are all about.

5. As mentioned throughout these guidelines, the H.A.M.B. focuses on TRADITIONAL hot rods and customs. Posts pertaining to traditionally inspired, but not quite period perfect belong on the main forum found here. Please note that we don't focus on things such as modern fuel injected motors, big-inch wheels, frame clips, after market independent suspensions, etc... at all on the H.A.M.B.. As such, posts that stray away from the "traditional inspired" will be deleted.

6. Posts about period correct hot rods should go here.

7. Posts about period correct customs should go here.

................................

Why Was My Post Deleted?
1. Did you confuse the H.A.M.B. with Facebook? That we are not... Save your personal strife for your choice of social media - it doesn't belong here.

2. Did you post a "pray for me" thread? We don't do religion here. Join this group instead.

3. Did you disrespect another user? We believe verbal battles through the internet are bullshit and as such, we delete all that we can. Further more, if you can't express an opinion without bagging someone else's, maybe you should rethink the validity of your opinion?

4. Did you disrespect the H.A.M.B. or a member of its staff? Feel lucky that all you walked away with is a deleted thread or post. This is the quickest way to get your account deleted.

5. Was your thread something that has been covered over and over again? Try searching next time. We've had countless threads through the years on bias tires vs. radials, the definition of "traditional," and many other topics. We don't need to rehash what the bulk of us already know.

And, most importantly:

6. Was your thread about something other than traditional hot rods and customs? Aside from a few "sidebar" topics that interest the staff here, we don't allow off topic posts. Your definition of "traditional" might differ from ours. That's fine. However, this is our forum and it's our definition that the forum is run off of.
