I learned that red Pex water line works amazingly well as a door striker bushing on my '92. The ones from the Help section were too thick.

I went through this same thing hanging the doors on my ‘66 Mustang. I set the door up empty and then had to re-align them once I got the glass in.

door preload is a good idea. i just swapped the doors on my 86 capri t-top car. i put 87 convertible doors on it and they don not fit the same as the 86 doors. im going to go ahead repair the factory doors and reuse them. the driver door may not be repairable. we'll see.

Have you ever hung a GT Convertible door bu yourself? Would you be able to guesstimate the weight of the door fully dressed? The tip about the dorman hinge pins is great. Do you have video of the door being removed with 1 person? Ty so much for the content - I just stumbled on your channel and am thankful for it.

Another great video, my passenger door sticks out just a hair when shut even with the striker all the way in. I might try the 2x4 trick, like I said it’s really close just off enough to annoy someone with OCD like me 😂

Move the door up, down, forward... But what about in and out? I've got my fender and jambs MINT but there's like a 1/4 where windshield/roof meet. You guys shim the bottom out or something?

Before removing doors is it best to drill an alignment hole through the hinge into body so that you can reinstall with proper alignment…. I am about to remove mine as part of a total rebuild and paint job

I dont do that, mainly because you are going to replace the Bushings. So won't go back in the same place anyway, and that leaves you with a hole in your a pillars

A impact screw driver that you smack with a hammer will take those screws out of the latch mechanism every time. Probably buy one for 20 dollars or less.
