Door shell painting

Here is a shot of the door before blasting














I just finished sandblasting the left door shell and cleaned it up for some rust preventative maintinence. I just applied a coat of POR15 silver to the entire door. Sure looks better than that
rust that was there.

After sandblasting:













Here is after the POR15 silver has been applied.














The next step is to get the door skin aligned and ready to glue to the shell. I'm hoping to get this done by the end of the week and then try to get the hinges back on.

I'm having a PITA of a time trying to get the new hinges to align properly. The lower detent cam is not aligning with the roller assembly. I need to either bend the hinge or the tab to get it centered.

I have also been measure the front end to make sure all the damage is fixed from the idiot who crashed this car long ago. The front left firewall is caved in and needs to be pulled. I'll either have to get a stud welding gun or use a BIG hammer.

Later.....Rustalicous.
