I just replaced both my lower doors on a 55 chevy. except I rebuilt what I had by fabricating the full lower section from flat sheets and did not pay the price they wanted for those replacement panels. I did it myself by forming the metal insections and made a jig out of wood to get the factory bends and blended them in perfectly. To me, I spent about less than $20.00 on sheet metal a whole lot of time, but they look just like original, and you can't see where I welded it. I have to admit you do great looking work.

I've learned a lot from your videos you make it look so easy I have issues welding up a patch panel to existing panels that aren't the same quality after years of running up and down the road panels too good to junk but is hard to get a good weld to stick without blowing holes any suggestions Running Hobart Handler 190 23 gauge wire set at 3 on voltage and 50 plus on wire speed 75 25 gas which is suggested settings on welder for 18 gauge do I turn down wire speed or volts or both Just wandering what you think Can't see any videos that deal with this situation everything I find is dealing with good welding stuff not really addressing this type of scenario anyway love your stuff you are a great source for the DIY person .
