Hi Everyone -- I hope some folks are still following along patiently with the metal work on this poor goat.

In the end - the passenger door could not be brought up to Cam's standards. He fought the compound damage and the previous attempts at "repair" - but some of it was intractable. So he fabricated a partial door skin for it. Here are some views of this process.









Here is both doors nearly finished. The passenger door still needs hemmed to the structure a bit and the cleaco holes filled/final planish.



Amazing isn't it? Starting with a flat sheet of metal and ending up with most of a door skin. Not to mention the results of welding it in.

The work has moved on to repairing the radiator support. This will allow us to assemble and gap the doors to the car. The edge of the door can then be finished account for the spacing.

Thanks everyone for checking out the work. I hope folks are enjoying the process.
