That looks great so far! What is your plan for the doors?

 

[taco_shellter]

Thanks, going to use vintage tech doors on the sides. Still thinking about the rear.

looks great

I am eager to see the next video on when you do the trim and the door sill

I'm also curious how you're going to do the rear door.

Looks like we are designing our door frame the same way except for the top. If you mentioned why you didn't use angle there I missed it. Maybe you will discuss in the next video when you add the hinge?

It is looking good.

You're doing a great job, as you well know.

You mention in your video that you will be using a plastic hinge for your door. I used one from McMaster-Carr for a tongue box once. The description listed it as "UV resistant."

It failed after three years.

I replaced it with a hurricane hinge.

I don't mean to add a conundrum to your build. I understand how much thought and planning goes into these projects.
