Then I started work on the driver door. Started by cutting along the bottom of where the door panel goes, then went straight to the skin on the back side. I left the original door hinge area on the front of the door because I didn't want to reinstall all of the inner supports and realign the hinge, etc. Then I used my cut off wheel and an air chisel to break off the spot welds for the inner braces.

Found that the window channel was bent from whatever caused the dent in the door. I straightened it out some.
