Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England

What wasn't the same was the repair panel. Now I know pattern parts can be variable, but the drivers door inner was about 3/8" -1/2" bigger than the door and the the trim looked like it had been done with an axe..........and it cost be about $80 including shipping to the UK. I actually thought they had missed a tool out when there were making it there was the right amount of metal it was just all in the wrong place.

Nothing to do but cut it up rework it (lots) and use only the pieces I need.

When I'm working I often get so caught up in the job I often forget to take pictures at different stages

And tacked it in, I won't finish weld anything until I've had the door back on to check the fit.
