Finally got the door filler panels nearly done for both sides... Just a little more tweaking and then weld 'em in... Real happy with the new door alignment. Got to decide what's next up. Doors still need a little filler piece up by the fender then I need to figure out what I'll do inside the door where it faces the jamb. There is an empty space where the 1959 metal is longer than the 1998 door structure. Maybe graft in some of the 1998 door skin there... dunno yet...

Primed... some mudd next to hide my sins... I know my buddy told me about something with strands in it. What the hell was that...

Your abilities far exceed any skills I could ever hope to have. As such, I can only be impressed.
I am certainly no expert but I'm persistent. I've learned a lot over the years. For instance, I had a Jeep FC150 pickup I sold 20 years ago cuz I didn't have the skills to fix the body.... Today I could even though my body skills are still pretty rudimentary...

Made the patch for the driver's door to close up the area where it used to wrap around the 1959 windshield. As you can see, I've yet to learn how to completely finish and make the welds disappear. Mudd will be used.
