With the edge cut out, the door frame underneath is in perfect condition. New piece was cut to fit nice, and I'm using a damp cool rag next to the weld to help prevent warping.

MTCK · 04-13-2019, 02:23 PM

Nice work. Looks like it came that way.

Jaysonb · 04-13-2019, 03:26 PM

Thanks Marcus, so far it's working pretty good, the weld area sucked down just a touch, but the cool rag prevented any warping out in the middle of the panel, and that's what I was worried about. I hammered over the edge, and I'm more than happy with the progress so far.

Jaysonb · 04-14-2019, 02:14 AM

I got the door all fixed up, did a round of body work on it, and shot some epoxy and high build primer on it. It turned out pretty nice, and I'm glad I took the time to fix it.

**Dads79GMC** · 04-14-2019, 06:59 AM

Looked great in person today and looks great now!! Awesome work!!

**Dads79GMC** · 04-23-2019, 04:04 PM

On the nice hot humid MN summer days, it'll straighten out. Lol!

Jaysonb · 04-24-2019, 07:44 AM

Finished up a round of blocking out the doors, and they got some epoxy, and high build primer. I will plan on blocking them out again this evening, and probably try to get the inner fenders and cowl prepped for primer as well.

Low Elco · 04-24-2019, 12:56 PM

some nice lookin' work! Dang I wish I worked that fast.

**Dads79GMC** · 04-24-2019, 03:40 PM

Boom! Awesome work once again Jayson.

Jaysonb · 04-24-2019, 09:31 PM

I scuffed up, primed, and painted the inner fenders. They are satin black, but are still wet in the picture so they look glossy.

Jaysonb · 04-26-2019, 04:55 AM

Today I got new bushings and pins installed in the hinges, blasted and primered them, finished blocking out the doors, and got the doors and hinges painted up.

Looks awesome Master!!!

Low Elco · 04-26-2019, 08:02 AM

Man, I need one of those door racks. Doors look good!

Jaysonb · 04-26-2019, 03:47 PM

Thanks guys! The door/fender paint rack is awesome, they are made by innovative tools. They are a little on the expensive side, but they are pretty sturdy, and have a ton of adjustability. I have 2 of the door/fender racks, and 1 of the ultra racks for hoods, tailgates, liftgates, ect... They are worth the price in my opinion.

Jaysonb · 04-29-2019, 07:32 AM

Got home from work early this morning, so I spent a little time in the garage and got the doors hung. On my next days off I'm going to spend some time sanding and buffing what I have done so far, and get it moving under its own power, so I can back it out of the shop while I'm painting the rest. Even wrapped tight in plastic, some dust seems to find its way in!

Jaysonb · 05-02-2019, 03:09 AM

I finished getting the few last things hooked up to the engine, and got it running and in tune, and picked up a windshield today, and got that and the rear window installed, and have a good start on the sanding and polishing. This is the drivers door.

Jaysonb · 05-02-2019, 03:13 AM

The rear slider was a real pain in the butt! I thought about putting a solid rear glass in, but the slider is on the spid, so I figured I'll leave it for now.

Greenlee · 05-02-2019, 07:56 AM

Looking good! Nice work.

**Dads79GMC** · 05-02-2019, 11:09 AM

bling bling!!

BIGglaSS · 05-03-2019, 03:35 PM

Nice! Is that SPI black? Single stage or base/clear?

The black is summit racing single stage, with 3 coats of summit racing high solids clear over it.

BIGglaSS · 05-03-2019, 04:31 PM

Oops, thought I saw in another post that you were using SPI... My bad. Either way, it looks good!

Im using SPI universal clear coat on the other truck I'm working on, and I also used the universal clear on the truck before that. On this truck I'm using up products that I have left over from previous projects. The grey is 2 diffrent pewter colors, charcoal grey, and black all mixed together. The spi clear is hard to beat, I haven't tried there single stage black, but it gets rave reviews.

BIGglaSS · 05-03-2019, 04:59 PM

OK, so I'm not quite crazy.

I have been following SPI for a decade, and been using their epoxy. This summer I will be painting my Dad's car with single stage black. My 57 pickup will get black base / universal clear. (the reason I asked..)

**Dads79GMC** · 05-03-2019, 06:37 PM

BIGglaSS, you're not crazy.
