Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Passenger door had a mild crease along its full width, which is going to be hard to hammer out (though not impossible). The bottom of the door seems much more solid than the driver's door, but it's ALWAYS a better idea to pull the skin off and just re-skin it. How else are you going to be able to deal with this rust? Rust between the frame and skin becomes bubbles after its painted.





Some dry days are in the forecast, so I should be able to get it all blasted. Then make another skin.
