well, did some more work on the doors, and i have both of them "done". by "done", i mean solid, and acceptable enough for me. lol, its a truck, not a trailer queen. so hey.

thought i'd show off some pictures of the drivers side door.

first, i'd like to mention that my passenger side is a '69, and my drivers side is a '67, due to the fact that these were the better doors out of the 6 i have access to out behind the barn. hah.

also, i would like to mention that i am using the following tools:

-Lincoln 110 wire feed, with .030 flux core (yes, it CAN be done...it's just not pretty)
-your average angle grinder
-chunks of copper to use as a "welding spoon", thanks to arnswine.
-hammer
-bigger hammer
-even bigger hammer...heh.

but, alas. the pics!
