Door Fixture

In the process of rebuilding the doors off my 62 Flare side after painting. I was worried about how to work on them by myself without damaging the paint. Searched and found some ideas here on the Ford Forum and made one in about 20 minutes. Now I can work it alone, move it back and forth and do not have to worry about damaging the paint.

Ooh. I like it. I bet you could adapt an engine stand to work as well

The paint is a single stage urethane intermix from Eastwood. The color is Ruby Red Metallic and it has metallic and pearl in it. Here is the link:
