Door Top Frames

Carrying on with the cab area, we need to get the door shuts right, and the alignment right, so we need to fit the door top frames on to check that these all line up properly.

Sadly, the original door frames were a bit worse for wear.....

 The entire bottom edge of the 1/4 light frame is rusted out.

And a bit of magic later and the nice shiney new metal is in place.

The 1/4 light frame has been repaired too and the piano-hinge 1/4 light now opens and shuts perfectly.

Piano-hinge 1/4 lights were used on barndoors upto chassis number 20-041711 (basically upto December 1952).

These frameworks can now go off to be blasted ready for trial fitting.
