Trying to wrap up the passenger door rust repair so I can get some paint on it and hang it. This door had on both bottom corners with the front one being the worst. Rusted through on both sides, luckly the area was just contained to the corners and not anywhere else. I marked out where I wanted to cut out the rust and then made a template of the area so I can match the new metal to the door. I welded in the exterior side first on both corners then proceeded with the front inside corner. Again everything was cleaned out good and treated with rust reformer and weld through primer. I proceeded with scouring the rest of the paint with gray scotch bright after I wiped it down with wax and grease remover. Then followed with a squirt of self etching primer. Will follow up with a coat or two of primer and sand it ready for paint.

I will paint to just under the trim line. I am not going to go crazy with trying to get a perfectly painted door. It is a "Fix and Sale" project not a show truck. Does not mean I dont try to the best I can, just means I will not spend a week on getting it perfect. Anyways here are a few pictures, one before, during and the will be more after it gets the paint.

Last but not least i went to look a two truck deal this morning. Two 68 trucks one running and one not. This will possible be my next project after the 4x4. More to follow!
