Door work

I had to drill a couple of access holes to get at the back of the big dent. I then put a short piece of wood with piece of scrap steel on top and used a long punch and maul to bang out the dent somewhat.

I ground everything off the dents and then used rust converter on the remaining rusty pits.

Next I fibreglassed over the four unwanted trim holes in the bottom of the door.

I was planning to install the rear vent windows that I picked up at Gary Payne’s Studebaker salvage yard before it was closed down. However, they need new rubbers and no one makes them. So I’ll leave the door seals in place as they are passable and just sand and paint the inner door edges with the final car colour which is Corvette opulent blue.

Next; more door work
