Hi guys
I gathered up a few more photos. The lower hinge pockets were rusted due to leaves and seeds going down the fresh air vent. I didn't even look for repair panels I just made my own. It required alot of pieces and many hours of trimming & tig welding.

In an earlier post I mentioned that the doors will be lengthened by 4 inches so that meant that the reproduction step wells would be short by 4 inches so I made dies for my pullmax machine, and made new steps. Also made dies for the rocker panel portion, as I will needd to make the rockers longer and also needthat shape at the bottom of the cab extention.

I made dies to reproduce the original shape of the drip rails/door jamb tops.
It's a little more work but I'm seperating the panels at the factory seams where ever possible.

My goal is to make it look like a factory built version.
