yea, they were rotten on both sides, so it all had to go, yea the lines aren't too bad, but I still had a terrible gap on the passenger door, the door is pulled back as far is it can go too, I still remember it was the same even before I skined the door, so I am certian it was nothing I did, I may shim it later and see if that helps at all.




Well it took me forever to clean up the area for me to work, my dad has this great habbit of piling everything up, or using a tools and not returning them, nothing worse then concentrating on the task at hand, then spending 20 minutes looking for a 9/16 socket. Now that I have my own shop, my life expectancy will go back up.
did only a few things on the chassis, as cleaning took half the day.

$500 for such small headman headers, and they still can't even finish them properly, thats a leak waiting to happen!
