Choppinczech , are you trying to say i'm articulate ? Thanks for your compliment. I think you are an amazing fiberglass fabricator. I can't hold a candle to you. Here's some more progress photos : 
This is the driver's door. I've already completed the passenger's door & it's temporarily installed on the t bucket body. I'm going to cut a slot for the striker , then the latch will sit lower in the recessed area ( driver's door ).

MORE PHOTOS :
MORTILE is clay like ; I use it to dam up areas to prevent resin seepage into unwanted areas. I have to glass the fiberglass piece labeled " save " on to the backside of the cupholder/storage space insert. This will prevent objects from falling into the door behind the cupholder / storage space.

More photos :
The tongue depressors hold the cupholder ' storage space insert at the right height. Level with the door frame upholstery strip. In the future all of the framed areas ( around the door latch , cupholder/storage space insert & the border around the door ) will be used for attaching the upholstery door panels.

Your glass work is getting better and better. Keep up the good work.

I like your outside door handles. I considered adding some to my bucket but the latches are very easily accessible by simply reaching inside, so I passed. Keep up the good work. I wish I had some of your energy so I could finish mine.

Indycars ; my project has a removable hardtop & will have side panels with clear sliding lexan panels or clear hinged lexan panels. I am building a 24/7 all year round vehicle. Do some of my fellow forum members think I'm trying to lock an open air convertible roofed car ? That would be totally whack. My project goals are to build a closed coupe / sedan.

I've posted my future goals in past posts ( more than once ). My closed car concept seems to not be grasped by a few forum members. I'm NOT angry at you because i tend to also be uninformed ( i'm 74 years old ). I wish you well my friend. I've also been challenged for wanting to install a heater/defroster & windshield wipers in my future closed car. This is normal equipment for a closed car. NOT normal for an open car. Just trying to explain my unique situation. Hope you don't get offended. I'm looking forward to future positive correspondence.

It's hard to keep up with all the info on three forums and who is doing what.

I totally agree Indycars. It's hard to keep up even with ONE forum. Neshkoro ; I don't think anyone is picking one me either. I think this forum has a great group of guys & gals. All of them are willing to give a helping hand to a fellow forum member in need. A person couldn't ask for anything better. Moving forward ; I'm still working on the driver's door striker plate ( just about finished with the task ). I'll do a couple more mods to the door well to convert the passenger's side door well ( which is what i'm using ) to a driver's side door well.

Now that I find out you are 74 years old and are getting so much done I really feel like a slacker for using age for the excuse for not getting stuff done! Way to go pal! Lol

Oldroundfart ; you also need to factor in a person's health into the equation. My health is pretty good , so far. Arthritis can dampen a person's spirits ( you can be plagued with that @ any age ). Don't forget cataracts also. Have a good day ORF , in spite of life's depressing realities.
