Spit listers (pilots?),
Just finished the interior, looks pretty good for an amateur, I think. The
radio goes in Thursday, if I can figure out a way to mount it. And the
driver door is the last item, but that's the problem. The door straps,
catches, the thingies that stop the door from opening too wide !! Any
ingenious way to repair. This one has several problems, the strap itself is
ok, the inside door part is missing. The part that locks the strap in place
inside the door. I was thinking of pinning the strap on both sides of the
door frame. Also there are supposed to be two guide bars inside the body
that the strap slides in between, and the springs latch onto when the door
is fully opened, the lower guide bar is gone. Sure hope this makes some
sense...
If this problem can be solved, should be able to fire it up this weekend !!
TIA...Ken C
