Couple steps closer tonight. I got the splice welded up and started fitting the bottom of the door to the rocker. I decided my easiest route was to weld a stiff wire to the edge so that the edge will not be as much filler which would chip out easier. I feel like getting nicer panels might have been worth it at this point but I've got too much time invested in these to scrap them now. I'm determined to make these work!
