Yes. The doors hinges were worn out as well as the doors themselves. Rust in the bottoms, etc. Someone had put quarter skins in at one time and overlapped them. They were cracked along the seam.
Like I said, I couldn't figure his logic. He had me go to all that trouble on the engine compartment and underside but didn't make a strike on the body.
Car would fly though. I would say a solid high 11 second car.

The owner started fitting up the subframe and engine today. I tell you, I can't figure these guys out. The body work is 50% done and he is mounting the subframe and engine. He is going to shrink wrap everything and then finish the body work and paint the car.
I asked him why doesn't he paint the car and then put everything together? His excuse is that he will stay motivated if he keeps seeing it go together.

Went out and helped the owner get the engine and trans. installed. Also fitted the doors and aluminum front end.
