64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"

My current plan is to make some wooden pucks that match the profile of the two outer areas I need patches for. Make some patches and then trace them out over the damaged area cut out and weld in the patches. I don't really want to replace the whole door skin. I found a tool online that I might be able to use to push the crease out from the inside.

If you can't push them out I can help you with the door skin. I replaced my right side on my 62 and it only took a day. Before I did it I went to talk to an old body man and he showed me an easy way to do it. It's really easy.

Thanks for the offer John. I really don't want to replace the whole skin. Will see how I do on it.

Couple of rounds of high build and blocking on the back and she will be ready for some paint.
