Default C1 complete door assembly

Hi,

I have 2 empty doors for my 1959 and all the parts that go into them. Is there a thread or set of instructions on the most efficient way of completely assembling all the door guts?

Thanks

Phil G.

There is instructions (search the threads). Basically disassembly reverse order for the installation. Plan on a lot of scratches and sore fingers. Not much room to work in there.

Do have everything you need?

Here is a list of steps from Mike Coletta, a top restorer here in Florida. He's posted them before so I don't think he'll mind.
