  1. I think I agree. After sandblasting, I think I feel safe leaving all but the one corner as-is.
  2. That'll be a nice addition. Only thing that worries me about a special part like this is the availability... I guess a stock one would work in a pinch.
  3. A bunch of scrap steel landed in my lap for free. Guess it's going to be a flatbed for a while
  4. I keep seeing these advertised on FB. At a glance, there's not much tech on their website to inspire me... Someone should tear one down
  5. I tacked-in a makeshift angle iron brace when I had the floors and firewall all cut-up. Not sure if it made a difference
  6. Looks promising!
  7. I lack the time, willpower, and storage space to go hunting down more parts. I'll make these work
  8. Resurrecting this because of the 4 doors in my garage, only one of these didn't break during removal... Is there no new replacement available?
  9. The FSM excerpt I have calls out seam sealer there, but I'm not sure I see any evidence of it on these particular ones. You make a compelling case for at least peeling it apart to investigate. Now I just need to figure out how to reach in there...
  10. I should clarify - the goal is another rust-free 20 years on the road as a daily. This is a full "resto mod" and I'm making every reasonable effort towards that. No band-aids or halfway repairs - particuarlly regarding metal or body work.
  11. How do you propose I reach both sides with this approach?
  12. I already bought doors and I noticed this minor rust after the fact, but they're in way better shape than my originals so whatever. Ultimately, I'd rather spend the time and effort fixing these, and I have my doubts that many local salvage doors won't have this issue brewing anyway. Painting is not an issue.
  13. Anyone done this? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kpt-0482-171l
  14. Hard to believe I've missed this thread. Excellent work!
  15. Well, the 2K tubes went a lot farther than I anticipated. Lots of lessons learned when applying them - most of which I'm sure I'll forget by the next time I do this on something
  16. Rockers were one of the initial reasons this truck went under the knife - then they end up being the LAST thing buttoned up before primer. Strange how things go like that.
  17. 1st coat of SPI 2k epoxy is on. Goal is to have seam sealer and LizzardSkin applied within the 7-day window for no-sand application.
