i was wondering if anyone has replaced there lower skin below the lower body line and repaired the bottom of the door frame. i am planning on doing this to my doors and i am looking for anyone that can give advice. i am doing this because i cant afford to get a set of doors. i will try to get pic of the bottom posted qlater

 

here are some pics the black lines on the 3rd pic is a rough line were id cut the old piece of the door frame off and make up a panel to replace it

 

more pics alot of the holes are from burning through it while welding to remains of frame

 

I've done it. Bought the patch panels and went to town. Other than finding a ton of bondo (like 3/8" thick) in the passenger side it wasn't that bad. Go slow when you stat tacking it in and jump around a lot. Don't be afraid to walk away for half an hour to let it cool down. The doors are big and it's easy to warp them with too much heat.

 

i also need to patch the door frame idk how hard that would be i figured out that id be replacing a 35 1/4 in long section of the bottom of the fram

 

1/2 an inch of the door panel is missing. at one point someone put bondo over the rust on the door frame to make it like like it was in good shape
