    When aligning a Model A doors at the belt line, the top of door is not parallel to the drip rail. This gives the appearance of a sagging door. A simple fix is to add a spear shaped section to the top of the door which follows the drip rail. Easy fix, great improvement to the look.

    That really cleans up the look, I haven't seen that done before.

    That's one of those details most folks won't notice but end up making all the difference. Well done.
