More Chevelle right door work. There was a nice rust hole under the door seal when I pulled it off. I had to cut a lot larger slot to get the wheel in the recess of the donor door and didn't want to butcher the replacement door that bad, so welded the patch on top.
Moved on to the rust hole in the rear corner patch. I had to chase it a little ways to find good metal, but I had figured I would. Turned out pretty nice.
Put the hinges on and threw it on to see how the lines were. Looked good to me, so I welded the slots I had to cut in the skin closed. The patch is now done.
Flipped it over to address the pin hole in the skin. There was a slight bubble along the edge that was there before I started working on this. I didn't want to weld or cut with that high spot and have the skin go ape crap and warp, so I tapped it down with a body hammer, but the high spot just moved inboard a few inches. I hit it with the shrinking disc and water twice and it leveled off almost completely.
Then I cut a small piece of old door skin and tapped it in behind the inner brace as a backer behind the pinhole, so it wouldn't blow out. That worked very well, as I could see the thin area of the skin dissolve in the arc, but the hole filled right in with the backer behind it.
The last thing to do to this door, is get the mirror backing plate out of the old door and into this one. I cut all the non-body guys crappy welds and pried the new AMD skin off. Then I had to drill out the 16 plug welds I had made to hold the reinforcement strip on so it would be really strong and NEVER come off...
Once the strip was off, I had to locate the 3 plug welds holding the plate to the strip. Got it off and ready to install in the new door. That's tomorrows job. I had to go mow the yard after all this.
