Driver's door repair pt2...

Using the hole in the door skin as a guide I marked up the new metal for cuting, folding and swage lines. We swaged the top and sides, I than cut the lower corners out the allow it to fold around the lower edge.

I folded the lower edge 90˚ and clamped it into place. We needed to a different combination of arms on the welder due to the access holes.

We started along the face of the lower edge and then the top edge as far as we could reached. I will need to finish it off with the mig welder.

I then flatten the lower edge flange using a hammer and dolly. We also patched the hole on the end from the old removed red door light.

Again a far amount of finishing to do, but good metal to work with.
