Finally received a good, undented sheet of cold rolled steel. The first sheet arrived and it looked like they dragged it to Ottawa from Montreal. With the premium I paid to get a 5' x 10' sheet of 18 gauge steel, it should have been gold plated.
Cut the pieces out and started bending yesterday and now its all cut, fitted and ready to weld up the seams. I fabricated a skin for the entire door and wrapped it back into the window seals. The rear window was also wrapped and returned an 1" on the underside. I'm trying to make it seamless so I don't have to install the trim moldings that were used. The top will be covered over with the leather roof covering. I am going to make a sun visor for the front .
My buds in the sheet metal department bent and shaped the rear panel, my welder buddy and I bent all the door skins. Great bunch of guys, staying late on a holiday weekend to help out.
Closer and closer to being ready to paint the skins.
