I got through grinding all the remaining welds on the body today--job done!

And then a short interlude, to remove the grill from the engine lid. Note the custom location for the model and engine numbers. (The PO installed a reflector across the rear panel)

And now on to the final job before sending the car to the paint shop: doors.
Here are the good doors, including a donor for the left side. Attached thumbnail(s)

Here's the original left door. When I peeked inside months ago, I found some wrinkly metal. So more bondo.

And the botched repair led to some rust along the bottom edge.

QUOTE(bkrantz @ Jun 1 2020, 10:47 PM)  QUOTE(Lilchopshop @ Jun 1 2020, 01:04 PM) I notice you’re using an electric die grinder with carbide burrs. How do you like this setup for grinding welds? I’ve been alternating between using a 4.5 inch angle grinder and a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel for grinding welds. The dremel tool is great for precise control, but it’s very slow. Been contemplating buying the same tools you show in your pictures. Thanks, I like it very much. It cuts quicker (beware!) and reaches into corners. Of course, it also leaves a more irregular surface unless I am VERY patient and careful. Thank you. I ordered my electric die grinder and set of carbide burrs this morning. Hopefully they will lessen the chore of weld grinding a little bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Pferd makes a set of wheels called CC-GRIND for your angle grinder. For weld grinding, these things are pretty amazing. Turned a task I dread into one I can tolerate.

I got the right door stripped down today, removing the glass, frame and guides, the winding mechanism, and the lock. Amazing how little the bare door weighs.

This door has a bit of surface rust in the weatherstrip channel along the bottom, but nothing significant.

The only work to do is fixing the mirror holes. The PO had aftermarket mirrors (cheap Vitaloni copies). I need to weld the forward hole, and rescue the stock rear hole with internal nut. (And open up the other stock hole.)

Looks good, great work. That electric die grinder looks pretty handy - as someone who doesn't have a compressor big enough to run air tools. Will have to look into that. Keep it up!

I also have compressor limitations. And I bought the big electric die grinder after burning out multiple Dremel tools.

I got the left door stripped today. This is a donor door to replace the original, which has to much collision damage and rust.

This door has the internal collision beam. The original doors did not (October 1972 build date). BTW the beam adds about 14 lbs to the door shell, 35 lbs vs. 21 lbs.

The donor door also has a pretty thick undercoat layer. I assume this was not factory.

And this door has some rust along the bottom channel seam. Have to decide how to fix this.

All the doors I've seen had that undercoating. I think it was sprayed in as a sound deadener but don't quote me on that.
