Brief Description:  Half doors

Finished fitting the hinges on the left door. I had to cut spacers for the two hinges because they were being pressed against the side of the cabin when the door was fully closed. The spacers were cut from the left over hinge material.

Used a piece of all thread through both hinges to align everything which required some slight tweaking of the hinge ears so they were square to each other and the cabin brackets.

Drilled the mounting holes in the cabin and attached the hinges. Testing of the door shows smooth movement with no binding or detectable flexing in the hinges. The door fits well in the opening and only needs pulled in about 1/2' at the rear top and bottom during latching.

Taped off the right door and started prepping it for paint.
