We're now into late 2018. Recall, I only bring the project car home for winter. Getting started into the LH Quarter.
Doors were home for the summer, stripped, rough body worked and Epoxy primed DP90. Everything was stripped to bare using 8" orbital 36 grit (slow RPM) where it would fit, 6" 36 Grit (slow RPM) where it would fit and a wire wheel on a drill for the tough spots... which was most of the jambs. Slow agonizing work. Doors were VERY solid replacements I had bought many years earlier. A couple small patches on the outer corners but the inners and skin seams were beautiful.
Hinges rebuilt, Door hung and aligned, happy with the rear fit and away we go. Front gap was a little tight but that front corner had evidence of a little bump so we'll fix that with the fenders when I get there.
So.. unlike the RH side, no ugly surprises.
