Thank you, Fleet. Best of luck to you as well. I'm on the 5 year plan, too. 1 year gone and I'm still fixing rust. Ugh.
Tonight I began tacking that door panel in place. It's amazing how things seem to move all on their own. I swear, before I took my little cold weather break, that the patch fit a lot better than it did tonight. Well I had to re-finesse the panel to get it as close as possible. In hindsight, I probably should have cut the door patch a little higher up as it is going to be a bear to hammer and dolly effectively. Wish me luck.
PS- I also ordered new inner tie rods, trailing arm bushing, panhard bar bushings, upper and lower front control arm bushings. I'm excited for that stuff to come in. I can take a break from metal work!
