Re: 66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap
After a bunch of knocking around and a relief cut I got my door skin to fit. Drilled the spot welds out and removed the door handle backing plate from the old skin. Blasted it, primer and welded onto the new skin. Put a layer of Kilmat on the inside and got it all fit up. Tacked it up and then switched to Tig to try and minimize the amount of heat I was putting into the door skin. It will still need a bit of filler to smooth it out but I am happy with how it turned out.
        Moved on to the door bottom. Cut the old bottom off and started fitting up the patch panel. It fits as good as all the other ones. Lots of hammering and relief cuts so far. It's tough to fit up because I can"t reach to use the panel clamps.
