Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

I had some time this afternoon to get my doors pulled back off from the mock up. I had to weld some of the edges where I adjusted the gaps on both doors. The driver door had some rust areas behind the door panel, so I also cut out that and made new pieces. I also had several twisted off bolts to remove. The driver door is now ready to go get blasted and primed. The passenger door is worse on the bottom than what I previously thought. I planned to make a few small patches to repair it, but after looking at it closer, I'm going to replace part of the inner bottom with a new panel. The outer skin looks like I can patch about a quarter sized spot in the front corner and make a new lip section a few inches at the front. I can hopefully get the front clip off and taken apart tomorrow. I have a little welding to finish on the front fenders, then grind and sand the welds. After that is done, I'll have about everything else except the bed ready to get blasted and primed.
