Well got interrupted this week with having some do some actual job work but got a little done.
The doors on this thing are as hacked up shitty wok as the rest of it so I thought I should get them sorted out before I installed the rockers. This was the sweet job the previous owner did at lengthening the doors.
The bottoms are all rusted out and then filled with fiberglass resin.
The flat section that extends from the door jamb was in better shape (less rust)on the original jamb than on the tacked on one so I drilled the spots out of both and then cut the end off the original inner panel and moved it to the outside edge. I then started making some filler pieces to go between the two. I also angled the indent part at the door up so I could get a straight shot between the two panels.
Filler pieces made and tacked in place. The metal finishing is a little hacky in places but I decided I wasn't going to waste a ton of time finessing inner door panels that no one will ever see.
Now I have to fix all the other rust along the bottom. Not exactly sure how I am going to tackle that as I am not sue how much I will have to cut out.
