Sealik Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Have a 69 4DR 510 that had the rear doors welded shut. I'm taking the 510 down to the neighbours tomorrow to get the rockers/quarters repaired.....nothing fancy. The problem with welded rear doors is that the water accumulates on the inside and eventually.....rusting out, as seen in pic. 3 options.....repair then cut the factory gap back in the bottom (only) of the rear doors, so the water that comes in from the window drains out the bottom of the door....than out. Or......after the repairs, drill a couple of drain holes in the door sill....but that would have to go right through the rocker I believe... :huh: Or....after the repairs....slather the shit out of the inside with some tar/urethane and never let it see water/rain again.... ;) Or??????? I'm leaning towards the 3rd option... :) Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 . If the rear doors aren't gutted... they should be removable and re-useable ... . just grind off the paint where you think the door seam is and cut-off wheel the door seam neatly ... .. There's alot of air space for water to get trapped in... after a few more years outside the rear doors will open anyways ... :lol: it's going to be hard to fix the rockers right with the rear doors on,,, so 3-4 years and you should be done,, :lol: , or get some Henry's wet patch roof cement and drive it for a few more years Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Put a couple 2 1/2 inch scupper valves in there, an pump the water out like a fishing boat. 1 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 scupper ...lol....how bout option three go back to a four door... Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Forgot to mention ...there are fiberglass flares....which I'm assuming are 'mudded' over the rear doors I think 'we'll' cut the factory slot/gap back in on the bottom and spray/slather the void with paint......then 'wax oil' Hopefully the drains in the bottom of the door are still open.....which I'll confirm and or 'address' Oh...... and scuppers are self draining....no need for pump.... :P Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's what we jokingly call a Tudor - a 4-door with the back doors covered over. JR just texted me and said why are horns mounted so low down? Quote Link to comment
