Since I had the doors off to fab up the window channels I decided to patch up some holes in them. None are done to high standards as they won't be seen. My intention was to get them done and move on to other repairs. Made a lower door inner patch. Used 18ga steel in the bead roller with a tipping die then straightened it with the shrinker/stretcher. Was going to do a second lip but decided to weld directly to the doors edge. No one will ever see it. Patched some holes in the door made by the PO. Also discovered a potential rattle that would have drove me crazy. Seems whdn the the doors were converted to suicide someone took a short cut by grinding the door lock flush and welding over it leaving the cylinder and rod free to make unpopular music.
