Thank you .... most of the details will be over looked by the average Joe, but I know it was done correctly! Maybe my car would be worthy of one of your sub-frames someday? It's not in the budget right now, but .....

It looks great Chief. I was just reading about door skin replacement in Chevy Hp .

Wished they had done a better job the first time .... cuz I wouldn't have to do all this damn work. Thanks for the compliment, still a long way to go!

You must be at the GG in Texas .... I am jealous. My sister lives nearby in Keller, yeah I'm jealous. I'm on the road next week, I'll find time during the day, working nights on the reservoir.

Another good garage day ..... got the garage heated up and the skins all sanded down, looks presentable now. Couldn't spray epoxy today too cold so I installed my new driver's side door latch and hung the door.

Came out pretty close for an aftermarket skin, fiddled with the hinges, placed paint sticks (3/16) in door sill for reference and tightened all down.
The rear bottom corner is a little tight, but I think I can adjust that out
Now if my AMD quarter will ever get here I will have a reference with the door and can proceed from there.

Here's some pictures ....


Both doors sanded down and ready for some epoxy!


Lining up the door!


About as close as I can get them


Fits better than I thought it would

Well, that's what I did today .... hopefully I can get the passenger side door hung and it fits this nice (crossed fingers). Gotta keep plugging away !!!!

Thanks for looking .....

Excellent work! What epoxy primer are you using?

Jeremy ..... was thinking about your alignment issues when I said to myself "I can't be this close already" She's getting there. I'll see how the pass side goes today, need to get the garage warmed up first .... we've already had SNOW!

I am using Finish One epoxy primer, I get it at Napa cuz it's cheaper than the Sherwin Williams Automotive paint place here in town. Figure if it's good enough for Pete Jackson's car (of Barrett Jackson) it's good enough for little ol me!

I wouldn't be too worried about any alignment issues. Now that you are aware of the severity of panel alignment from seeing my experiences, I feel you'll be able to have everything where you need/want it with a little tweaking. It's good that you are cognizant of the issue this early in the stage though. I think that will work in your favor

I'm sure that epoxy is plenty good. The reason I asked was I'm switching from the Dupont epoxy I had been using and going to HOK epoxy. The HOK epoxy is about the same color as what you are using. Does your's mix A/B with a 1:1 ratio or does it have a catalyst that it mixes with? The dupont I've been using has a nice sheen, which gives you the ability to see imperfections in the body and is tough as nails, but their catalyst has no shelf life.
