It has been a long time but I finally jumped back in on this truck. Tonight I took the doors to my friend's shop and I blasted the doors. Unfortunately, more Swiss cheese metal showed its face and I have more work to do to get these doors back up to par. Areas which I thought were fine were blown open by the blaster, despite having a shallow angle of attack. The area that blew through was also an area that I cut open and had full view of. It really surprised me that it blew through in that location.

I have no pictures yet but will update soon.

Tonight I mixed some epoxy primer sealer and I painted the inside of the left door before I start to weld out the lower patch panels.

One of the photos shows the new pin holes that appeared while blasting. I coated the inside of the door pretty thoroughly and it should be good for at least another 50 years.
