back
well i finally returned from deployment late Wednesday, and i haven't stopped working since i have been back!! first thing i did was i made a run to schucks to pick up a set of spectre fabbed valvecovers and valve cover gaskets, my gas tank and sending unit for my 60, and a trans filter and gasket set for my 72. then my door started to sag just enough to mis-align the drivers door latches(both in the pillar and the door itself). so when i changed the pan, gasket and filter i noticed that the bottom part of the forward door pillar was pretty much rotted away, allowing the door to sag and cause the misalignment of the door latches. does anyone have any idea on how much it would cost to have all of that repaired/replaced?

Re: back
It`s not that big of a deal.I can`t say what it would cost,though.

Re: back
The picture is a little close to determine exactly where it's located but they make patch panels for most of the front door pillar area. If you want a temp patch you should be able to hammer out and weld up a useable patch from sheet metal.
