Welded and polished up.

You got that right. The worst thing is I do sheet metal for a living and fold hems regularly. D'OH!

....might want to hammer/dolly that welded edge a bit - stretch out the shrink from welding.
Yep, done this before.
I use a deep reach double-face hammer for a solid swat.
I go evenly-paced down 3 inches - whack-whack-whack, same even spacing, same amount of hit .... and then check with straight-edge....
Calibrate your whacks.

Thanks Kent.

I did hammer and dolly it some already and it's actually better than the pic shows now, but still needs more. I like to post these side effects for fellas following along to learn from my misery.


Seems all a guy sees online is a fella adding rod to edges and then afterwards a perfectly smooth panel as though this stuff doesn't happen to them.


I've moved on to the DS door to get away from the frustration for now.

Hi pugsy
WOW you are sure putting tons of hours into your car!
The results are fantastic.
I was wondering how you were planishing out the welds on the door skins, now the secret is out, the skin is only connected at the top.
Thanks for all your posting and pictures.
