Then onto the passengers door. I cut off the bottom of the door and have the bottom inner welded in. Should have the outer on Friday afternoon. I always have to laugh when I work on something someone else did. The standard overlay right over the rusty hole riden panel. Plus can't let out the brazing too.

Shannon great work on the doors, as always you make this stuff look easy! Do you overlap your new panels and weld them on or butt them together? also I heard you mention 'glue'? what adhesives do you use, can this been done for the panels instead of welding or in addition to the welds?

Also what is the shrinking disk tool you mention? got a pic or p/n?

Thanks so much - about to embark on this myself and need all the help I can get.
