Thanks. I used my 5" random orbit disk sander with 80 grit. Then did a little sanding by blocks and 120 grit. These doors are in extremely good condition on the outside. I will be media blasting the insides and after I cut the bottom inside rust out I will media blast the insides before patching things back up. I really prefer to large panels by hand rather than media blasting. I can get a better feel for any problem areas as I strip them. As for the gas fill, I had some left over steel from my cab corner patch that I was able to form the bends with a little tweaking here and there and a light skim coat of filler.
