Nice job, why didnt you oxy (Henrob) the outer panel?

[Desertrodder]

@toranacar ....Yes I could have , but chose not to as I did not want to chase any warpage with shrinking etc. As it was in the corner this should have been ok but it is only on my truck so I wasn't too fussed with it .

Should I remove the windows before I do that or they are strong enough to resist the cutting disk vibration and hammering?? Also, is a blue welding rod good for this job?

[Desertrodder]

@nic12344 ........I would remove the windows for two reasons. No. 1 you don't want to risk breaking them, but in saying that if you have them wound up as in the closed position this will stop them from cracking, which is no different than driving on a rough road.

No.2 which is the most important you don't want to have a hot splatter of weld drop onto them as this will put burnt marks in the glass and you will never remove them. The blue arc welding rod can be used if you remove the blue coat.

Nice job, I see one problem or you did not say. The new metal why you would not coat it with some type or primer, Corrosion coating, weld through coating etc...

[Desertrodder]

@Ricky8036 ....... The whole doors were stripped of the paint then primed the following week.

Beautiful work! I learned a lot! Thanks for sharing from Ontario, Canada

@Desertrodder No worries. That paint striping technique is pretty cool.

That is a really good job you did on that! Can't wait to start on my body work. Im in the process of building my new engine and restoring the chassis first.
