The Doors Finally Latch Nicely (Kinda) - 1933 Ford 3 Window Coupe

One of the biggest issues with the 1933 Ford 3 Window Coupe is that the doors do not remotely come close to latching. Since Matt purchased the car last year the doors have been held closed with a ratchet strap. When the car was originally chopped it appears the doors were done last, and not matched to the roof profile. This means the doors hit the body in a few spots, and the body lines do not match. Another issue is the door hinges are bent in the wrong direction. This could have happened from the suicide door getting caught in the wind and whipping against the rear tire. After a bunch of tweaking and sanding, both doors close and the body lines closely match. This means the body does not need to be cut apart and we can start building body mounts and floors!!

Adjusting panels and doors can be a challenge but very satisfying when they fit again

@ronaldheit196 2 года назад

Absolute amazing how someone so young can have so much knowledge about this eras cars and his to repair someone else's screw ups. Matt is the Master at his craft and he has surrounded himself with a really good crew.

@jerryrosen3114 2 года назад

Looks like the B pillar on the 33 is flexing quite a bit

@ervingoertzen7233 2 года назад

What really amazes me , is you have the vast knowledge of a different era of hot rodding, the mixing of parts . And you happen to come across those old rides . Awesome videos , thank you Matt !

@pappabob29 2 года назад

New-er car or old-er car, lots of the door gap/latch alignment happens at the A-Pillar and B-Pillar mounts/shims. A 1/16" shim at the B-Pillar might make a 1/4" or 3/8" difference at the latch side. Sometimes, just tightening the bolts on the body mounts (with rubber biscuits, of course) is all that's necessary. I prefer to bend the hinges "off" the car so I'm not bending a 5/16" piece of steel strap while deforming all the sheetmetal that's trying to hold it. It means lots more on and off the car but your sheetmetal remains the correct shape.

I’m 73 years old. I’ve done bodywork all of my life. And I have restored a lot of 32 3334 and model is of course. I think you do a great job. I was always a perfectionist in fabricating my specialty was rust repair. And lining up doors and stuff like that I made him a man. There’s nothing like a 392 hemi sitting in your hot rod. They’re big and beautiful. And they pack their weight. I truly enjoy watching you build your cars

@garyhughes9199 2 года назад

Matt this was a great video ! All 3 of my old cars have door issues. You always seem to have your finger on the hotrod pulse. Keep doin what you do !

@chuckster6513 2 года назад

Hey Matt Good to see this kind of work happening on the 33. As bad as that door was sagging, To see it shut is more than just a small victory. Sure would like to hear what is happening with the engine build for this car .

@chuckstith838 2 года назад

I watched the quarter panel at the B pillar flex when you bent the hinge. Scary.

Hey Matt! Glad to see you working on the 33...be safe, God Bless!!

@RichieCat4223 2 года назад

3:29 Wouldn't you want to take the screws out first, clean the treads and lube them ? Then reinstall ? Why fight yourself ?

@mattomon1045 2 года назад

he is learning!

@chuckstith838 2 года назад

I was thinking remove the hinge and take it to the vice

@pappabob29 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing while listening to them squeal. Remove them, clean the threads, and apply some anti-seize.

@RichieCat4223 2 года назад

@@pappabob29 He has that screw turning attachment for his air hammer also. The one sold by EASTWOOD. Lol.

@alseidel5622 2 года назад

I was holding my breath that a door screw did not break off ! That would be me. Matt is a lucky guy but then luck is where perseverance and effort intersect.

@stomper2582 2 года назад

Good job getting the doors fitted, Matt. 👊😎👍

@mr.goodpliers6988 2 года назад

First, before anything else, verify that the pins are tight. Sloppy pins replaced with tight ones can reset many ancillary problems. Verify that each hinge half is tight to the mounting surface. Blocks of wood can do a lot. There's a tool that hooks on the latch post that pulls the door back up level. A specialized prybar. Check straps/links are important, make sure they are in place and functional so the doors don't get flung open and cause the same problem all over again. Inspect the area of the door and body where they mount to make sure the metal isn't fatigued and cracked.

Matt, you are just too kind when you're talking about someone else's work. The truth is that they just did a crappy job to begin with. You would never have let that car out of your shop like that. Love your videos

Great video on fixing a problem that they all have, thanks Matt

@davidmspinelli8951 2 года назад

This car is so cool I can't wait to see the next episode BUT I have to admit that I am enamored with Beautiful. I think it is the story behind it coupled with your idea of, "Hey Grandma, I fixed your car!" You have her stance nailed and you know, I have actually seen and Ardun Flathead hidden under the hood of a "stock" '32 5 window... just sayin'. I hope the whole ITC crew and their families are well and warm. Be safe, stay healthy and say hi to Moon and Elvis for me!

Just subscribed to your channel , been working on hot rods for a long time, not as talented as you guys, but do enjoy watching your videos, just sold my 56 ford, looking for another project ,have my eyes on an original 47 chevy 2 door coupe. I've watched quite a few of your videos, enjoy them all...Ralph

Thanks for the information. You explained what you were doing well. Love the videos.

@MrTRAVELER96 2 года назад

I noticed that the body is loose on the frame. In my experience it's a waste of time to adjust the doors before the body is firmly attached to the frame. Once you tighten the mounting bolts every thing will change. Then you shim the mounting bolts to align the doors.

@heatherrigby7371 2 года назад

Hi Matt. Thank you for another Awesome video. Donnie

@johnmakin4337 2 года назад

Get the line where the door meets the quarter panel perfect. And then you have to tweak the body to match the rest of it

Ah.. bending the lower hinge back will lower the front of the door. Shim between the lower hinge and the door.

@IronTrapGarage 2 года назад

This was beyond shimming. The hinge was bent in a U.

@handyhippie6548 2 года назад

if you can't shut and latch the doors from sitting in the seat, the car is not really usable. that's one of my bye bye tells for winter beaters. if the doors sag so much that you can't shut it from inside, it is time for new door pins, or a new owner, which ever is easier. since in later models the hinges are glued on, mostly it's just easier to find another beater with a heater. for those of you in the south, they are what you drive in the winter in case you have an incident, say a slide off into a ditch, or kiss something solid and wind up with a dent or two, it's not your nice vehicle so you don't have to cry about it later. in the no snow time, they nap beside the garage, or get loaned to that one person we all know who always wants to bum a ride.
