The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Door repair

I replaced the bottom 3 inches of the doors on my 39, I clamped the new metal to a piece of angle to begin forming the edges that wrap around the door structure and finished bending them around with light blows slowly working untill i had a nice lip. I then cut the old section of door skin out smaller than the new patch, placed the patch in place and marked the exact cut line using the patch as the template. Butt welded them up they came out great. I am at no means a bodyman, however this was fairly easy. The one thing i would do different in the future would be to make the patch a little bigger to make hammer and dolly work easier. Good luck..........Dale
