Cool video Dennis.  Those for few drives are always the best.

Couple of notes....

First, I would leave the front fenders on when you hang the doors.  You need
them in place to get the door alignment correct.  You do have to be very
careful with the doors to not ding them on the fenders...especially the
first few times you close them until you get the alignment close.  I would
personally have the rear fenders bolted on too....since they set up the
alignment for the rear edge of the door.

Second....it would be very cool to see this car at the next Invasion in
Rochester, NY in 2014.  Hint hint...

Well first thanks I will consider doing the doors that way but the way our
body class is doing this it took them 2 months to get the hood, fenders, and
deck lid done. They have had the doors for a month and a half so those
should be done in about 2 or 3 weeks and they really haven't started on the
quarters so we just have to take them as they come. Second I will make every
effort to be there but I'm still a little scared to take a 41 by then 42
year old car 916.12 miles according to map quest but I'm thinking about it.
How dose everybody keep cool in these cars in the summer? I weighed 90 lbs
less last time I drove it in the summer LOL (I know I need to lose a few by
looking at the video).  I guess we will see how it comes along in the next
year or so.
