Scott,
Yes there are some how to's floating around. There have been several articles
written for the club's magazine. You can purchase back issues of the magazine
from the club. It's not a job for the faint at hart! There is a lot
of black magic
in fitting the doors. Some of the info. can be told to you, some of
it is trial
and error, an expert feel.
If the doors were have been rebuilt, you won't see the additional
reinforcements.
The are located under the door skin on the inside of the door frame. Again
several pieces about this in the forumn and in the magazine.
