Nice job regardless.
The bottom of the door was folded and hemmed, the edges were welded for ease as well as wanting to retain the factory hemmed edge with spotwelds inside the jamb. I also knew I had to do some tweaking of the gaps so in the end it was faster and easier to go that route.

I’m not exactly sure how to “end” this project thread. I didn’t want to leave people possibly hanging and wondering what the status was with no further updates.

So with that said: This project has moved past the metal repairs shown in this thread and nothing further had shown up or needed any major attention as we progressed to other panels on the vehicle.

(Edit) When I refrence “we” I’m referring to our shop. However, I only share portions that I’ve done 100% myself. Typically in our shop, one employee is tasked per vehicle (for example the ‘52 Dodge was solely my project alone). However, there are times on some projects we team up to perform more basic tasks such a body work, etc

Currently we have the majority of the body work and initial priming complete on the entire vehicle (one fender and the taillight panel remain yet)

In a nutshell, I have come to an end with any shareable updates for this project.

Thanks for following along and for the compliments. Hopefully it was enjoyable and fairly informative to read through.

Thanks for posting your work. I especially enjoy seeing how you accomplish the repairs of other previous repairs. I am glad there are still people willing to pay to have the job done the right way.
