Yep. It's a real pain, but worth it in the end.
I over worked the hands monday, so got back at it today. Ground the rear of the door off to get the correct gap, sheetmetal goes nuts when the lip goes away.
Got it welded back up. Welded some clothes line wire on the top corner to add some material. Then me and my big Mill Bastard file got way to well acquainted, but got it all filed down. I like a nice tight 1/8" door gap, so I use a wooden paint stir stick to get the correct gap.
Now I can clean up all the weld/ grinding dust up and call it a day!!

That looks nice, Sammons. Good idea with the coat hanger. I spent a ton of time on my doors, I don't know why I didn't spend more time on door gaps.....now I'm getting mad at myself!

Some one been getting after their project.... taking time and doing it right pays off in the end
Spent 3 more hours on the drivers fender welded and build the torn piece that attaches to the front splash apron had very little to go by but it should be close.... this was after I spent 2 hours blocking fender out on repaired area and other dents

Thanks fellas, I just wish I could keep at it all the time. I just hope my body is solid enough (I think it is because all the body panels and structure are tied into cage) to keep the 1/8" door gaps from biteing me in the ass!

Decided to go after the left door hinge screws today. Really had my doubts about the door side screws, somebody had used a large drill bit to start to drill them out. Looks like they give up after taking most if not all of the screw slot. I hammered on it till I got a bit of a slot banged back in them before turning on the handle. They all 12 came right out. My ears are ringing and hands are buzzing, but that's done!
If you guy's don't have one of these, you need to make one. Dad built this years ago. I had fogot about it till I was cleaning up stuff at the shop a couple years ago. I broke the socket when I did my right door so I had to replace it this morn. Looked through Google and found a drawing I sent to my brother some time back.

Guys the little trick to this thing working good is let the air hammer do the work. No real need to pre-spray with rust buster type penetrants as the vibration seems to knock the rust to dust. These old screws seem to be soft, and as you can see from the pic, the one screw had nothing but the crater in it. Keeping firm pressure on the air hammer, the bit(Titan) made it's own slot. Then slowly work the handle back and forth. Keep hammering and working the handle till it is out by 1/16-1/8". Then the it almost comes out with your fingers.
The socket that I broke was old and worn and dad had welded it direct. As in the pic I posted earlier, when I cut it off I welded a broken 1/4" extention on it. That way I could change sockets out in the future. Hope it works for you guys, sure beats drilling them out!
Oh, Titan Brand is the assortment bit set. My neighbour got me this for X-mas years ago, they seem like high quality hardened bits.

Jerry @The Filling Station just called me back. We believe the part is #70-1159. He is sending them out to me. Great guy to deal with!
Thanks Mike, i'll see how these work as soon as they get here.
Ed i'll give you a holler when they get here if correct. The p.u.ones were quite a bit smaller. He had a '47 Ford that was closer in size.

Steve...Were these the correct bumpers for the doors ? needing to place an order with the Filling Station and thought might as well order these if they are the correct ones
