We have the bed prepped for epoxy so we started on the doors. The top of the passenger door was pretty beat so we finally decided to cut the whole skin off to get to the damage better.





Checking the damage with a straight edge.






Skin off, more rust than expected. This would have come through in a few more years if not addressed now. We blasted the frame and welded up the pin holes.









The new emblem studs were slightly off from the original holes, and slightly larger. I stuck the emblems on and marked where the holes needed enlarging to make them fit properly.








Checking the fit of the clips.




Inside of door blasted and painted with Chassis Saver.






Door skin before straightening.





Finding the high/low spots by block sanding.





Door skin straightened above the body line.





Marking the location of the sunk in areas on the bottom skin.




Rolling on an english wheel to bring the skin up.





Sound deadener inside the door frame.




Ready to start on the driver's door next week.
