cab 11 door reskinning......
The door frames are being given the last clean up....... 18 gauge sheet metal being cut and readied for the reskinning process.
Everything will be cleaned with acetone where the new skin will mate with the door frame as I am considering a few spot welds to absolutely hold the skin in place during the crimping process of the edges.
The curved section of the door that fits above the front fender will be more difficult as we will probably need to use heat to stretch the sheet metal to a near perfect curve.
We will document our trials and tribulation with photos for future MLU restorers.
The last few days of mild weather has rekindled our spirits....
Cheers
PS.... the tire bead breaker will be at the barn by the week end....stay tuned for "How it works..." on the installation thread.
