Rusty's doors
Rusty dan was kind enough to take pity on me in my down time and entrusted me with a project for him...The mission...FJ40 half doors!Got em cut this weekend, and started to cap em off. Little more difficult that I thought it would be as the interior of the door is not flat like the outside, so it was a challenge to get the measurements right, and I had to graft in some paneling on the inside to make it work both for me and for him.Heres the start.K

aaaaand some more.FYI...rusty is going to make an interior panel to cover the inside and skin it with something, so it doesnt have to be flush with the contours.

Very nice. So does this mean there is a future "Chicago Fabworks" business in the works?

Schweet!
You got a lot done since we talked last night. I'm jazzed. 
Edit: I'll almost feel bad when I rattle can those to match the rest of the rig, they deserve better.

Put some dividers inside the door and they become a nice place to put gloves, oil, etc. and nice work.

Nice Job! When things slow down let me know Keith and maybe we can put that Anti-wrap bar on my Cruiser. If you need money up front to buy some material let me know.

We already talked about that, all my other Toyotas have a pocket there and they are very useful.

Thanks Mark.Regarding your wrap bar, the one thing I noticed with your rig, is that the exhaust is DEAD IN THE WAY of both the x member, and a good location for the wrap bar.Can you do me a favor and get some pics of the belly of the rig?From what I can remember, the exhaust location is KILLER for this project, and the only location is having it hang way down which doesnt do you much good if its gonna hang up.K

I'll be putting some kind of arm rest on top, I don't want to bust an elbow.

What are you thinking for that?
I can finish the upper part off then, or will you run it all the way up?

I'm not sure yet. It will probably only be on the flat section. I might see what I can find at P&P one day next week.

All that is left is the VERY top cap where it flattens out again and I got the template for it, so all I have to do is cut it out, weld it in and finish it.
Ill slap a little filler in the upper pieces, but leave the flat arm rest deal unless Im feeling really ambitious.

I got some work done on it. I wanted to have you look at the part that ties to the cross member before I cut to length. I used a die grinder to prep the holes I do have cut so it took a while.
When I went to install the rear springs I didn't have lock washers and they don't have the right size at HD. I'll pick then up from R&E today. Once I have the rear axle back under the rig I'll feel a lot more comfortable working under it. Plus the jack stands will be out of the way.

Dan,
Got the door all capped in.
I was wondering if you wanted to do a test fit before I fill the upper part where the arm rest will not be?
If anything needs to be tweaked...

SURE!
Ive got extra sheet metal...Ive kinda gotten the hang of welding this stuff so its not so much..."burn through...SHIT....wire wheel, grind weld...etc." Youve gotta build up the bead so you can smooth it out without taking off too much material and exposing holes/ seams, then have to go back and re fill with weld. Its still a PITA, but its getting better. I still prefer some heavier steel any day.
Ive still got one more door for Rusty, depending on what he wants to do with the one that is "finished"

We did a test fit today, without hinges. It looks better in person. I can't wait to give them a coat of Krylon Hunter Green and mount them up.
