Re: Grinched door?

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes the door will stick to the weatherstripping, when stored for 
long periods.
Get inside the car, and using your shoulder, try busting down the door, 
like they do in the movies.
Careful now. You're not twenty five anymore.
That's easier than taking the door panel off and working on the door to 
open , to no avail.
If that doesn't work, go to another plan.
I went through all of that with the passenger door on my 65.
It apparently hadn't been opened for years, and when I started 
dis-mantling it, I couldn't open it either.
After taking the door panel off, and it still wouldn't open, I tried 
"busting in" using my shoulder.
Presto!
