11/23/21: I finished welding in the drivers side lower inner door panel. Things went pretty well except while cutting out the patch. one part of the seam got a bit wide requiring a bit more welding and allot more grinding. I ended up grinding the edge where the outer and inner panels meet, to separate the panels, because the lip of the outer panel that wraps over the inner panel was way to rusted to open the fold. I added the lip and just welded the edge where the three pieces meet.

Overall, I am very pleased with the way it came out and anxious to start reassembling the door. I’m only touching up the the door in the areas that I messed with, so I’m having trouble with getting a color match with a spray can, it doesn’t have to be perfect but just close enough so It doesn’t look too amateurish. It’s somewhere between almond and ivory (I’ve tried both). If I could mix the two cans together, it would be a perfect match. Probably Not! LOL!
