Hope yer not getting bored yet with seeing these doors, but I gottem right this time. I'm using the classic hinge that very much resemble the old Auto World hinges. I've basically applied the same upholstery to the door but it's much thinner now, I did used the foam, replaced it with a black velvet paper. In order to upholster the rest of the interior I need to install the inner wheel wells. Here's a tip for you. For preliminary fitting and locating, I use a product called Poster Putty, or Fun-Tack. It held these in place so I could test fit the body. Here's some of the back area upolstered. Looks kinda off in the photo, but the door kinda popped at that angle. Now we got some swangin doors!!!

Ah Blu-tack, is there anything it can't be used for? I have a tennis ball sized lump of it for just an occasion!

Have the fun is making these things work. I have noticed that those who are outstanding at something have the ability to make a great save. I've seen this in golf with Tiger Woods and other sports too. Same goes for car building, big and small.
Good job. Keep the pics coming.
