Happy Saturday!
Hey Fordnut - that's unbelievable the guy wanted that old Ranchero crushed! It looks way too solid to throw away, glad you decided to keep it.

Nice save on the Ranchero there. I always hate when decent old vehicles are crushed. Save that for the stripped down rusted ones.
Rob, yes I could order a 30" door, but they are pricey. The way my old door looked, I really wasn't sure what I was going to find. I even had two other guys look at it because I originally was going to hire it out, and they said the same thing. So, I didn't want to special order one and then have it not work or something. I wanted to see If I could do a little more work and get a 32" door to fit. That's the cut off for nicer "in stock" doors. Well, the cheap plain 30" door is in and it does look and work much better than my old one, and now I know what to expect if I ever have to redo it.
Today, it's cleaning the carpets time. Hope you guys are staying cool down there. It's about 90 up here.

Take your age and subtract 10. Where you smart back then? No, you weren't....you were a blank blank idiot. Truth is, you are still a blank blank idiot today only it will take you 10 more years to realize this.......
