update
Well, I got really po'ed at myself, and one thing I did was to remove the doors without help of any kind. Not something I want to do everyday, and I will have to have something like the dolly above to reattach them when I get to that point. Need to build something to roll them around the garage too.

The ones like gow589's got would be nice if the upright post was made from an old bumper jack maybe.

Now that is an interesting idea.

I don't think you could move a door up or down a 1/16" with a bumper jack. I have never ad a problem moving the door in small increments. With the bolts snug, loosen, minor adjustment, tighten done.

E-Tek, I too have been in the business for 35 years and I find that it is no big deal at all to move a door up. How have we done it all the years before these jacks or lifts existed? I have never worked at a shop in my life including my own where I was basically a one man show, never had anything but my body to lift a door, in fact got pretty good at putting them on, and hoods and trunks by myself.
I hear were you are coming from in that it could make it easier but it certainly isn't necessary. Brian |

I am just a back yard hack, never been in the business.
By far the easiest I have ever hung doors is using an overhead crane. Put a choker around the door so it hangs in a balanced upright position. Fly it to the door opening, lower into place. A few bumps of the control buttons to align and done, ready for final alignment. Total time per door maybe 3 minutes. |

I like this idea as well. I just happen to have an electric overhead winch attached to my hoist. |

Any chance you can share the sizes on all the parts. Just bought a mig welder and I'm building a 1967 Chevy C 10 I need to replace rockers so I want to take doors off so I can get the gaps right. Thanks. Mike
