Excuse me while I go back to changing oil and cleaning spark plugs.  

That's exactly what I was thinking. I feel so inadequate!

It’s like grade 3 and making macaroni art for Mother’s Day and Michelangelo is the kid in your class wrecking the curve...

Haha!! Exactly!

I sometimes think I can do some stuff. And then I watch threads like this.     

Very nice Mike

I am missing the Tabco issue?

The outer rockers don't line up very well with the fender or the lower front edge of the door.  I am told this is a common problem with "later" TABCO pressings.

More Contour SCT testing - passenger door ....

Again this door was repaired and heavily mudded by the PO.  I have better doors but let's see if this one is salvageable .... 

 

5 minutes in ...

10 minutes.. tops ...another passing grade for the Contour SCT ...

 

 

It turns out to be a very solid door.  I would guess most of the damage is from the PO's prior Bondo repair ...

Not sure if I will end up using this door, but it would be a shame  to throw it out.  I might have a paintless dent repair guy look at it ... 

For now I am going to bolt it up to check my work on the passenger side ....

 

Way better than what I started with!

Hmmm - good to know!  I'll look back through your thread to see how you handled it!

That door is almost ready to paint! Very nice.

Thanks!  Our mutual friend "G"suggested that I get all the panels to primer and then have a mobile PDR (paintless dent repair) guy go over the whole car to minimize the amount of filler needed.  So I might give that a try ...still a few weeks away....

I recommend the Valspar DTM Primer and Sealer. More money than the dominion brand but sprays and sands way better.
