MTFCA Forum

Hey guys, new to the forum and new to model T's so first off thanks for allowing me to join. I acquired a model TT cab and got some doors in decent condition and hung them, however I can't get them to shut all the way. The doors are little too tall towards the b pillar and hitting. Any suggestions on door alignment? Heat and bend hinges?

Pictures of your cab and doors would help. Model T bodies and frames are very flexible. Is your cab mounted on a frame now? Make sure the frame is level, flat, and square and the cab mounts are level and square. If it is not on a frame now, you still need to have the mounting pads or brackets level, flat, and square before trying to make the doors fit. If the doors are hitting on the top (roof) and not the "B" pillar, I would first try shimming the upper hinge at the "A" pillar before bending anything. Use paper, cardboard, pieces of aluminum can, anything for trial fit. Shimming the upper hinge will lower the rear top edge and move the rear edge closer to the "B" pillar. While shimming, only work with the top and bottom hinges with and others not bolted up.
