ok, did a little bit more to it today....
the bottom of my doors are so rusted, the pinch weld is gone, so the door stuck out about 2-3 inches more than it should...
so i cut and bent homemade brackets out of the sheet metal...have it going from door, down, and bent up under to the inner panaling. bondoed it in place, and now the door shuts flush with the rocker panal...and with the rocker panal done, shes starting to look mighty good.
NEXT:
Im going to cut a piece of sheet metal from the first lip on the door, down, and bondo it in place. then ill make a piece that will go on the underside of the door, to cover those rust holes, then its the cab corner...once i bondo everything in place, ill rivit it in (holes already drilled) then rhinoline all of it.
seriously im really trying to get pics, ill ask peeps at work tomorrow if they'll let me borrow one...

lol....i cant afford to buy one until after the moose hunt....which is now 2 days away then vacation for 10 days...so excited....
but the project like i said wont be done for a while...ill probably have the drivers side done by the time i get a camera..
soooo im going to wait to do the pass. side until i get a camera so everyone can see all the steps im taking to make this work.....and trust me, this is very cost friendly and fun IMO...
so far this is what ive bought:
piece of sheet metal: $8.50
Bondo: $8.99
Sheet metal cutters: $7.00
so its cost $24.49 so far...not to shabby since it actually looks bada$$
Ive done rocker panal, brackets for door, and from moldings; down on door, and i still have some sheet metal left....
