Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

Did you say why you had to replace that door skin? Looks really good man. Lot of slow welding I bet. Using .023 wire?

The bottom outside of the door had really bad pitting. Didn't want that to show up later. The bottom of the inside was tin foiled and had about a 3/4" of putty in it. I'm using .025 wire currently.
I got the inside bottom tacked in last night. The dip on the outside at the weld is a bigger valley than what I want. Not sure where to go from here. May be starting over on this door.
