Almost Finished the Great Dale Door

By /

I suspected that the outside door was deep and would hit the interior sliding panel when closed,  but couldn’t verify this because the car interior was getting worked on while I worked on the door.  The old metal door didn’t have a recess, but it was a piece of crap so who cares. I will have to go with plan B for the sliding panel but wanted to get it installed for this weekend.

Here is is installed:
