Here's why I almost turned this car down

I got tired of looking at it. It was easy to remove but working it is time consuming. I removed the paint where it seats and started trimming it down. I've also re-bent some of the shapes. He tweaked it to fit. Me I'm using a compass and numerous vice grips to hold it in place while trying to avoid any interruption to that outer shell

I guess he planned on duct taping this one.

I'm certain he was dedicated to structural integrity since this is the part the heavy driver's side door is going to batter constantly.

You don't need a compass to compare sides, to see that the panel wasn't going to fit. Those holes are spaced about an 1" too far apart. Notice he even bent the top to fit. He was going to drill a new hole right through and ruin the panel along with it.

Quality Ford craftsmanship w/ paint still on it. I think he was trying to preserve the decal

He must have gave up trying to get it to fit inside and let it overlap to the outside.... starting with a blow hole on a perfect 3 dimensional shape.

Those are blow through tacs because he had to raise the freak'n heat range to burn through the paint. None of the multiple layers of paint were removed. Look at the Vangogh this craftsman created trying to duplicate the cuts.

1st off the idiot ruined a perfectly good body line for no reason. Run a die grinder over the edge, find the low spots and drill them out. Those are factory spot welds. He really botched this big time !

Oh boy, The reason I almost insulted the guy and walked away from this deal. He took it upon himself to fix this door jam. I almost opened my mouth, instead figured I'd remove it & fix it. The day has come.
