'36 update

Some progress has been made on the '36 over the last several weeks.  The passenger side door is mostly roughed in and all of the rust, bondo and lead is all gone.  The driver's side door has also been started only to realize what I originally thought was going to be the easy side was in reality not much better than the previous one...

It appeared that there have been several attempts at repairing this door over the years.  The door didn't really have the correct shape nor did it fit all to well.  However, once I cut away all of the previous repairs, it relieved itself of the internal stresses and laid like it was suppose to.  It is interesting to note that the patch panels must be made of a much softer material that the door skin itself as I have to spend more time straightening them out than I do with the original material.





Oh boy.....on to the driver's side...
