WANTED!!! measurements from a 57 chevy more door
I you know of a buddy/club member or someone with an old body repair book (that a body shop might have had) I need this measurements If someone is willing to take the time
side of car fender edge door end from half way door the door straight back to the 1/4 at rear door.
so using the edge of the fender and 1/4 not the doors
then need pillar that holds the back door ("B" pillar) to striker area for door with the measurement midway in the depth of the pillar and the 1/4 striker area(where the door fits in between them so if pillar is 4" thick outside to inside half way in, and same at 1/4
one measurement at halfway down door and one near the rocker but higher than the curve where the pillar/rocker meet and 1/4 and rocker meet..
lastly roof to rocker measured from where the door glass sits in roof (opening) to rocker at the 1/4 but before the rocker curves up to the 1/4
looking at a car that the owner did work on the car and replaced rockers and striker area at 1/4 (where the 1/4 folds in and striker for do is.. no idea why he didn't do a full 1/4, but that's here,nor there.. if this description isn't clear enough. please p.m. me and I'll call you. and explain it.. doors are not hung and we want to make sure the reason it's for sale isn't the replacement metal repair and doors not fitting.. well, more like if they don't fit and it needs to be redone, to make offer accordingly . redoing it not an issue, for the person looking to own it (retired bodyman) but wants to know if the work is correct before he starts with an offer.. Yes it be easier to grab the rear doors and bolt them on, and that's what I'd have done. but for some reason , it wasn't. and it seems at least from the buyers end the seller isn't willing to be bothered hanging the door, so he'll go back once the guy digs out all the trim/glass/etc and then look it over again.. and measure the car and go from there, I guess the doors are not near the car, or something.. I think because the guy couldn't find the title, he didn't bother carrying the doors over to car and slapping them on. but I doubt that.. think the parts where to far away to carry them "to" the car.. Dads not as strong as he used to be, PLEASE help if you can, I'm trying to get him from the dark side and into a chevy
sorry ford guys, the ford he really really wants a skyliner is way out of reach pricewise for anything not past being parted.. he's looked for the better part of 20 years.. and either found one but didn't move fast enough, they where basket cases, and having seen what he has brought back from the dead, these most of been total rotted p.o.s. or to much money..
Thanks for reading and if you can help please p.m. me..
