Don't try to weld under an awning on a rainy day in Washington. (The rain lasts for 10.5 months)
Do be patient. I am fixing problem this summer with a new garage. Permits are in order for new garage and work should start by August. Still need to tear old garage down first. Then I can work inside.
Seriously, what I did on my window frame was aquire 2 rusted out suburban front doors for free and use the square window frames to build the one I needed. I did a mirror image of the right rear door. My window frame isn't permanent yet since the door isn't finished.
I used one drivers door to start, one passenger door so the body line will line up and two old rusty (and I mean rusty) suburban doors for the frames only. Combine this with the inner panel from the suburban and the hinges from a F*$d and I have a door that opens suicide, the window rolls up & down and it latches on the B pillar with the original truck hardware.
Still have a long way to go to make it look good.
Have fun
