And Jeff doesn't do it like GoDad did but that's OK---like I told him there is more than one way to get to the same end and as long as he's happy with how he arrived at the destination that's all that matters :)

Brilliant and gutsy, Godad. I have alway learned to tackle problems at the source. For the life of me I don’t understand why FFR doesn’t correct what appears to be a pretty simple mold modification.

Not at all, Steve. A man's just got to know his limits and when it comes to body work, that's way beyond mine. I applaud you for taking on the challenge and not being afraid to give it a GoDadGo!
Dave
I admire you guys that do your own bodywork. Not for me, but I do recall my body guy saying the doors were a real pain in the arse to get right! Now I know why.
Here is my solution that truly fixes the driver's side door.

Very interesting approach. I'm not sure I understand it all (I know basically zero about fiberglass...), but interesting nevertheless!

Dang Gang,
This must be a very common issue because YOUTUBE sent me a notification that we are over 200 Hits on this How To Video!

Some of us know how to paint cars while others only know how to repossess them.
I'm just learning the painting part of that equation.
Also, Great Response Mr. Da-Bat.

Da Bat had no problems with my doors and they came out great. At least he never said so. Of course that was 18 years ago, back when Da Bat was less ornery, and maybe not even Da Bat yet.

I think a bottle of rum is the da bats equivalent of a farmers pair of pliers and baling wire. :cool: A farmer can fix almost anything with those two items. :rolleyes:
