11/18/21:My package from Jim Carter showed up yesterday with one new lower door replacement panel and I’m anxious to get started. I need to wait until my spot weld removal bits show up so in the meantime, I’ll continue on the passenger side door. I had previously sprayed the lower inside door with rust encapsulator, both inside and outside to treat the small pin holes of rust , applied JB Weld to plug the holes, skim coated with Bondo, sanded and primed all set for touch up paint. I also sanded and applied Rust Encapsulator on some rust spots around the upper door frame to keep them from spreading.

I gave the repaired vent window frame a few coats of gloss black and brought it inside to dry a few days before I reassemble it. I also sand blasted the window regulators and gave them a coat of paint. They look to be in good condition aside from the missing rollers that engage with the channel on the bottom of the window. I ordered a new set of rollers from the Filling station.
