Worked on the inside door panel today, used my vice and some random pieces of flat and round stock to get the right bends for the replacement piece and got it fit pretty good. Tacked it in then finished it up in rounds with time and air to cool to slow down the warping. It wasn’t perfectly straight to start but it’s good enough now. Plan to sand down the whole inside, prime it and maybe a little filler before moving onto some paint.

I also put some white grease on the passenger door latch and worked it in, it works much better now. Done for today hopefully more tomorrow!
