Default Doors

The original doors on this truck were mounted as "suicide" but some time during service were changed around to the standard opening style.
I wanted the doors as they originally were fitted.

The original doors are wood framed with a steel sheet cover, like the rest of the rear section. I copied the originals and made them out of Tasmanian Oak and the weight difference is about half. The lock holding block was a test in woodwork skill.

The original hinges needed a bit of work but turned out well.
Running real low on brass wood screws now
