Most people have no idea how much work that is , also how time consuming . Thanks for showing your great work.

MrFireman164 yes it takes time but I'd still rather do metal work then body work, I know that I went through hours and hours of sanding but I guess that's the way it goes

this is my first time stumbling onto this page. i know nothing about body work but i am a tinkerer and have a good mechanical sense. this guy is awesome. borderline artist with this. i wish i knew how to weld and do all this stuff. looks like a pain in the ass yet really rewarding at the same time. subscribed.

Fantastic! I try to do that same job in a 69 C10 without testing first , with the fender on and frame rubber mounting , and fail aligning later. Finally found another door and replaced.

This is perfect. I am thinking, that for many old cars, it would be easier to just cut out big chunks of the car and repair or replace them, then to work with every small hole and that work with small holes would be endless and they would reappear elsewhere in small time. This whole process brought to my mind, that maybe it would be good to cut out big chunks, than clean them, cover them with a thick layer of solder through a torch (that would add thickness and reinforce them for many years and protect from rust) and then fill holes in the metal, fix any bends that would appear due to heat and reattach the chunks. This would at least save the cost of trying to get new parts.
