dear miguel
you will require a metal crimping bender tool that operates by air and
creates an edge on the old skin to set the replacement skin into
then you can weld ... if it were wod it would be called a rabbit plane and
the set back would be called a rabbit ...(think wood door jamb)
notice how the door sits into the frame and looks smooth on the outside ...
anyway there is a really nifty tool for creating this bend
i just cant recall the name of it ...
but as i said in the earlier post ... hammer and dolly should get most of
the wrinkles out
straiten the door post at local body shop where 4 x 4 s are repaired after
weekend dirt fest
ok thats the extent of my knowledge ...
only a couple of successful body repairs under my belt ...
one 68 type 2
and one 89 chrysler lebaron convertible
the rest of my forays have had moderate success to complete failure
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
