The interior side of the door is 99% done. Still have some bodywork to do on the outside skin where I grafted it together.
I ended up having a major debacle with the skin that I am not going to share but I found a solution even though it caused me a lot more work.
Outer skin welded in.

After 3 days of cutting, welding and grinding inside the shed it was a mess and disorganized so I had to stop this morning and do some major cleaning and organizing.

I built this quick and dirty pegboard organizer to get stuff off the bench and just using it this afternoon has been so much easier to stay organized and clean.
