These are photos of the driver's door, right after pulling the door card, and before cleaning it. You can see the weep slots are still intact and without rust. Even the seams from the door skin have no rust. The only issues so far is a nudge on the skin, that I think I can tap out and smooth over. It took about an hour with the heat gun to remove the vinyl stripes, and a bit of rubbing with scotch brite and some adhesive remover I had left over. It's not going to be a perfect job, so I'm not looking for the most perfect metal...but I would almost have to go back 30 years to the Ford dealer to get doors as good as these. Heck, even the original speakers are in the door...completely unmolested. Not sure if they're going to work for me, but they're there.

Apparently my old photo hosting site is no longer working, so these links will take you to the photos in my Google account
