(We did not build this car body, chassis or door skins) The project for us is: Build dash, build inner door structure, build structure inside car around doors including reinforced A-Pillars/Hinge mounts, B-Pillars latch assemblies, inner door panels and mount doors. So, lets get to planning and metal shaping!
Metal shape inner door pan pieces.
Fit pieces in place then TIG weld solid and grind smooth. Garnish molding fits great.
