cut the doors down today







i cut the doors down today and i removed the windshield frame from the hinges. the door cut down was pretty straight forward. go slow, always be aware of the angle that your blade is it thru the whole piece you are cutting. the blade tends to jam up during the process. they turned out very good and i'm happy with all but one cut, but i can make it work. really it's just slightly off, no biggie! the windshield frame was a bitch! there are 3 small flathead screws on each side of the outside of the frame that hold the frame to the hinges. i used a center punch in the center of each screw to locate a point to drill a starter hole. then i used a 1/4" drill to get the rest of the head out of the hole. i did not drill any deeper than i had to for the head to just fall out and then the frame falls away from the hinges. i could not do this while the top was still lying on the pillars, so i pulled the whole top off and laid it upside down in the grass to drill them out. i also cut the doors down while the top was in the grass or it would have surely fallen from all the shaking created by the saw. i'm done for the weekend kids. have a great saturday and sunday. i'll update this week. mike in k.c.
