If you can wait a month I should have done mine and do a 'How to' on it

Otherwise look up Lindsey Porters Restoration Book and the UK Miniforum has a "How to" but the internal hinge type. - or look on this forum I've ask a few questions about it as well.

I scored some top tips for doing A panels that make the job faster, easier (to weld) and neater to finish, I'll be doing some within the month also and might do pics to go along with them, if Wombat doesn't beat me to it
