Most people who needed to build a pair of something for a car project would probably build them both at, or around, the same time especially if they need to match. In fact, the longer you wait to do one the harder it will be to remember how you did the first one. When Matt started building new doors for the Sweet Heart Roadster project, he started on the driver’s door and it turned out cool. So why did he wait for a whole year to start building the passenger side? Well there is no really good reason, but it is what happened and so he’s got to figure out how to duplicate the driver’s side on the passenger side now.
Video Description:
It’s been almost a year since Matt last worked on the Sweet Heart Roadster. With all the projects we have going on at once, sometimes cars sit a few months (or year) until they get worked on again. The wintertime is typically very fabrication and metalwork heavy, so the first on the list is the SHR. The whole drivers side has had extensive metal work done and is basically done, so we spun the frame table around to get started on the passenger side. Matt had Mike remove the original door off the passenger side and sell it, to help motive him to fill the empty space. The first plan of attack is to build and inner structure that swings and latches. In the next video Matt will build a door skin and install it on the inner structure. If you would like a more detailed video on the process of the driver’s side door.
