well I got the third door fixed. had to sacrifice the lower door latch. cut the arm off it and then cut the top off to get at the striker bolts. picked up another yesterday at the junk yard. there was a few rocks jammed in the latch. explains why it was stuck. also took of the bug deflector. rust self tappers are no match for wd-40 and a few raps from the hammer. changing the brakes sometime today.
