I belong to Wild West Corvettes, and they usually announce it at the meetings. We would like to see Tom's do a cruise night again. That one kind of died.

No, the one on Bear Valley. It was on Wednesday nights.

Finally got some work done on the truck. I filled the hole in the door and fit the Impala door handles.

I had a badly damage hood from a 50 Chevy Truck that I used part of for the fill panel. The curvature was perfect as it was the same as the doors shape.
Just to remind you this is what I started with.



I made a templet from some thin cardboard, then duplicated it with the panel I cut from the damaged hood.

Here's the hood that I cut.





I cut a hole on the metal using the handle gasket as a templet. I used a level to make sure the handle will sit correctly.

Then I trimmed the panel smaller, and kept everything level. This is it after I gave it a few tack welds. If I do too many tacks at a time I'll warp the skin around the handle.



Then I did a final fit with the handle.





This is it from the inside. Now I have to finish the tack welds, and make some linkage.
