Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

We didn't end up going to the truck pull we were going to go to in Mo on Sat, so in between rain showers I started blasting my doors. Man was it hot, muggy and misreable. I just acted like there were hot chicks in the distance so I could get through it. All in all the doors cleaned up really well. The RH door had some rust through in the lower front corner, and the inners of both corners had holes in them. The LH door had 2 cracks in the window opening and some holes on the inner door skin from where the door was hitting the rocker panel. I was really surprised how little rust holes these actually had.





Here are repair pics. Seeing how I'm strapped for time on this truck, I decided that on the inner panels I would just use my valvoline epoxy and not cut and weld new metal in seeing how I'm in a hurry.
