CHEVROLET METAL DOORS (1936)
On some Standard 1936 Chevrolet Bodies, All Metal Doors
are being used. In the following paragraphs a description of
this Door is given together with Illustrations showing its
inner construction. Although this metal Door, minus Hardware,
Trim and Glass, is serviced as a unit, there are however
two principal parts in the construction as follows:
2. Door Inner Panel
This stamping comprises the inner framework of the Door
and includes such portions formerly known as the Door Hinge
Pillar, Door Lock Pillar, Door Bottom Bar, and Regulator
Board. The part of this panel that is used as the Regulator
Board is perforated and pressed with offsets for the accommodation
of the Door Mechanical Hardware, and is also
insulated across its center with Sound Silencer Felt.
1. Door Outer Panel
This is a one-piece steel stamping comprising the Outside
Panel of the Door. The inner surface of this panel is insulated
with Sound Silencer Felt and is reinforced at its center
by a vertical metal strainer or stiffener which is spotwelded
to the bottom and also to the belt of the panel, directly below
the Window Opening.
In the Assembly of the Door Outer and Door Inner Panel,
the edges of the Outer Panel are formed over and spotwelded
to the flanges of the Inner Panel. At various points in the
Window Opening additional metal reinforcements are used to
bridge the Panels together at this point. To this Door unit
the Door Mechanical Hardware Parts including the Door
Trim Pad, Ventilator Assembly and Door Glass are added.
(See the description of these parts on pages 57, 58 and 59.)
