Tonight I removed the door so I could work more on the edge I was building up.

This was where I left off a few weeks ago.


The basic shape had been formed but it still needed a little work. So I filled in some of the low spots with additional weld to better blend in the edge.


The back side wasn't accessible until I removed the door, the back edge needed grinding and smoothing also.


Since I should be finished welding I can start on re-assembling the door. The first step was to add some Eastwood Thermo-Coustic Sound Deadener Material. These inner door shots were made by sticking the camera in the door, shooting several shots and hoping some of them would be OK. The sound deadener made a big difference. The door makes a dull thud when you hit it. Before adding the deadener, hitting the door made a loud ringing sound.


I ordered new clips and the cloth cover. The cloth cover is newly released and is available from Inline tube.




The white cord at the back is where the second cloth cover fell part way through an open hole.


My next challenge will be to re-install the vent window assembly.
