Brief Description:  More doors

Spent some significant time working on the doors. I switched to regular body filler as it hardens much quicker allowing me to work with it in about an hour. Once the main filler work was done I didn't have a problem switching to it as it will do just fine. The down side is the stuff sets up in about 5 minutes so I had to work fast and in small batches. So I got them near a final state. I've spent a lot of time trying toi figure out what I could use to get a nice consistent gap that wouldn't be too big and I remembered today that I had a bunch of permagrit tools including one that was a piece of angle about 3/16ths thick. This turned out to be perfect to use for gapping the doors. I just got them to a rough point and then forced the permagrit angle in and worked the tool until it moved without a lot of resistance. Next up I need to get some of the door seal material and some mini nutplates and I can set the door seal gap and nut plate the door hinge which will allow me to cover the hinges providing a nice seal.
