Well, yesterday I made a shortened rear door, cut 10" out of a spare rear door, welded it back together, actually looks really good considering I only had about 2 hours to spare after the wife had me gardening all weekend !
I had mole-gripped the b/c post in place 10" further back and hung the new shorter door on it, and it all pretty much lines up.
Don't worry, the idea isn't to force rear seat passengers to squeeze in through a 16" door opening ! The idea is to now weld the shortened door onto the end of the rear wing, creating a long rear wing.
I have some photos which I'll post later.
Next I need to make a new sill section to make the outer sill top section reach back to the b/c post, I'm going to make a more complete section to add strength to the sill, the standard section is really just a filler to give you something to bolt the outer sill to.
