    I found it on Ebay - I got mine for a BIN price of $39.95 with free shipping.

    I've got this door fitting really nice and everything welded up on the bottom. Now for some grinding, smoothing, and filling and I'm ready to move onto the next one.

    Glad to see you got it fitting good.
    I know that panels and doors are tough to get just right.

    Thanks; I'm still blown away by all you did on the front end of your car. That's some serious craftsmanship.

    Thanks, Steve. You do some pretty fine work yourself. Havent done much for the past week; we've got short burst of 100 degree + temps again, plus we moved out last kid off to his college dorm this past week. It's supposed to be nice this weekend so hopefully I can get back on it. I took a week off around labor day to really hit it hard.
