No problem Racer John.

Thanks Kent. I'm tightening my fit up and getting more fusion welds so less grinding.

I started out trying to weld and shape the "C" post to bring the window ledge into a single plane from the door to the rear of the opera window. After unfolding some of the door skin and fitting in pieces from the rear door skin I still did not have a straight ledge. So for the lower I bent a piece of skin to a dogleg and tightened the angles with the shopdog. That gave a straight ledge for the glass. I formed a small radius on the sill to match and welded it in at the ends. Then with the airsaw I cut the new sill and the skin at the same time with a bevel that gave a flush fit.
For the upper I made a mess trying to bend the radius in one piece so made a three piece sill and after shrinking and stretching the legs welded the arcs together to match the bottom of the opera window.
