Re: 1976 CCSB Duramax Project #trucknamedsue

Thanks guys.

here some pics of working on the door shells. These are all the pics I have currently uploaded for the door repair. I may have some more, there was a ton more work than shown here.

the drivers door was very rusted out on the bottom. I cut the skin off before I had it blasted. After blast, I fixed the rust and put a new skin on.

some before pics-





I made my own patches as I could get them to fit better easier than working with aftermarket stampings. Also I worked very carefully around the stock drain holes in the door, to ensure they looked as stock as possible. The aftermarket stamps are not even close to OE.

fixing the front corner.









after both corners were fixed, I cut the rust out the bottom and put the bottom in.



final door bottom. Looks like some adjusting still after this.








before the skins went on, I setup for the mirrors and panel bonded heavy 'washers' to the backsides of the skins. To try and stabilize the mirrors and prevent sheetmetal cracks.



skin set on door shell. The only exterior body mod on the truck is shaved door locks in the front doors. The skins were shaved prior to installed, ground flush front and back.





passenger inner door was hacked to hell from the previous owner. A member here was kind enough to send me a filler piece. so I was able to install that. You'll never see it, but we all know its fixed.









final inner primer pics of the rear doors in the booth- with the small door panels this truck essentially has 8 doors. 4 inners and 4 outers. The doors and their body work and such were definitely one of the largest challenges and time consumers.
