Thanks, Listers!

You came through again.  With some some determination, and a tiny hacksaw, I
removed the bottom head of the pivot rivets.

Now about those big door screws.  Other than soaking them in WD40, which I'm
doing, any tricks on how to break them loose without stripping the screw
head?  They are on TIGHT!

The car is almost totally disassembled and this is my first real roadblock.

Thanks,
GH

(between the door and the body) seems unmovable, and I don't see anything
obvious to do with the washer-looking keeper inside the door.  I know
someone out there has taken their doors off.
