Default door jambin'

finished up the front of door to fender and the bottom less some fine tuning when I remove the door again after working the aft to quarter gap/mismatch.

when you remove a door just once maybe twice, the door hinge and door adjustment seems overwhelming. but after r&r multiple times I find it actually to be no big deal at all.

I had an area at the bottom of the drivers side quarter panel that I knew I would have to rework after welding on the full quarter cut to quarter skin. it had an inward twist to it at that spot out of the box, plus I welded it up to fast warping it in.

so I cut it, opened it up to match the door, welded in some gap closing wire. in the process was able to nicely straighten it out. I have finally learned to go slowly and I air cooled my welds as I went. grinded the welds as I went also. still have to finish the aft end gap now.

this is not difficult, seen other DIY's skip this part. its just adding steel and filing it to contour. piece-o-cake.
