Got some work done on the doors. The passenger door had some dents and one small bit of rust. The driver's side had more rust though. Both doors though had large oil-canning on the bottom half. Possibly from the heat of powder coating. I got both doors roughed back into shape but they will need a skim coat of filler.

I started by cutting out the bottom channel completely.

I then cut out a strip of some 20 gage steel

Dude, really, that is very cool! And the bottom edge of the door didn't warp with all that welding? I never even thought about cutting all of that out, just thought we'd fill it in.
Great work......

Lots of tedious work has been happening... I have been focussing on finishing the bodywork for the doors and lids. I started off by sanding everything, applying an epoxy primer over any bare metal areas, and then adding filler over that. This is followed by several stages of high build primer and block sanding. They have their final stage of primer and after I finish the rest of the car, I will wet sand everything down in prep for paint. I'm not going to paint it, Chris will find someone else to do that.

I also started working on prepping the rest of the car. I sanded the underside of the floorpan and applied some epoxy. I will add seam sealer and then apply a second coat.

Are we spraying the entire car that white epoxy Doug? That white will go a long way to helping the factory yellow really pop!

Work looks great from here BTW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
