    Adhesive for door patches

     



    011 Rt Rr Door.jpg
    I've read some interesting discussions on using adhesives to patch panels and would like to consider this for repairs on my 1937 Buick Roadmaster.
    The driver side rear door that is most rusted.
    If it is possible to do these repairs in this manner it would save me a lot of time and money because I do not own a welder and will have to learn to weld.
    I have lot's of experience using adhesive.
    1) Will this method work well for bottom of the doors?
    2) Is it better to:
    a) make a larger patch first and glue it to the back side, and then glue a close fitting patch on the outside surface or
    b) Make a flanged patch that fits on the back side with the front flush with the outside?
    3) Can anyone recommend a source for bottom patches that have bend that would match the 1937 Buick Roadmaster doors?
    Thanks
