Re: Question for the hammer and dolly gods

Why not just do a full door skin? That way you dont have to weld a seem shut done the length of the door and have to deal with the distortion that WILL come from welding.
IMO, a full skin would be best, you can also then have access to blast and epoxy prime the entire shell making a 100% rust free door.

If you do go the patch panel route it will be best to install the patch about 1in away from the lower body line. That line will help hold the panel in shape and lessen the amount of warpage...Eric
