Okay, I'm done complaining about the shoddy work done by Body Holly in Lubbock, TX. enough of that. Now I am going to try and document the repair process. I will show my process and progress. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to offer their suggestions.

This is the much sought after driver's door. I also got the pass. side too as the bottom of the frame in mine is a bit rusty and would need some patches. Even though they came from Pennsylvania, they were a bargain at $50 each. Also Greyhound will ship large items and they are a lot cheaper than ups or fedex as long as you don't mind driving to the bus station to pick up. The LeMans that these doors came from apparently had been sitting in this lady's driveway for about 14 years and rotting away until the city tagged it for have a "junk" car sitting outside for so long. The car had only 50k miles on it when the guy bought it for the AC parts. These doors actually weren't quite as nice as you see in the picture. The driver side had 2 rust holes in the lower corners that appeared when I touched them with a 4 in grinder to be welded up and also 2 previous dents that were bondoed up quite nicely to be straightened. The bottom of the pass door was rusted almost completely away and the surface had ALOT of rust pitting which ground out fairly well.
