JFK Reloaded offered the ability to tweak the in-game physics to a cartoonish degree, presenting the tantalising opportunity to turn the sombre events of November 22 into bloody slapstick comedy, complete with a “Chaos Meter” tracking how comically ahistorical the simulation was getting. It’s not entirely as self-serious as it sounds. Any deviation from the official record of events - like by shooting First Lady Jackie Kennedy, or one of the other cars in the motorcade - would incur a points penalty. To maximise their score, the player’s first shot had to miss its target entirely, the second had to pass through Kennedy’s neck and strike Texas Governor John Connally in the chest, and the third had to fatally wound the President’s head.

Where this door was leading into a kid’s play area, I knew I didn’t want it to be super heavy. When creating the new jamb, I made sure to factor in a 1 inch overhang on the handle side to act as a stop for the door. I had to plane the new pieces down to about 3/8 thickness, then shim every few inches to keep it level and sturdy. Once I had those, I could then build the new jamb out of primed pine. I removed the old door and jamb, then put the edge panel pieces in place as my guide. This made the door slightly smaller than what was currently there, but only by a couple of inches.
