Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
Been working periodically finishing up the drivers side door bottom and skin. I wanted to protect the inner flange to guard against future rust before I spot welded the door skin but I didnt have access to the spray equipment at the shop up north (had the doors at my house) so I had a local paint shop mix up single stage 510 medium blue in a rattle can, also picked up 521 white and hoped for the best. Primed flange with SEM etch and then SEM high build and sprayed the color. Match was great, and its just the interior door bottoms anyway. The skins will not be rattle canned haha. Came out pretty good. The skins went on very easy, picked up a door skin hammer/dolly at harbor freight and went to town. Drilled holes every 6-8 inches for spot welds. Left enough "wiggle room" on the skin to move it around a little if needed when fitting before I weld it.
Also sprayed the window frame white and match was excellent. If it doesn't exactly match white cab I'll strip it and spray at the shop.
