Door Rust at Inner Bottom Edge
Does anyone make Patch Pannels for the inner door bottoms where the door rests against the weather strip?
My 51 F-1 has rust through on one door about an inch up from the bottom of the door, on the inside.
Looks as though flat sheet metal could be cut but may need to match the bend at the bottom of the door.
Haven't sent the doors and the cab to media blast yet so there may be more damage than I think.
I can find all kinds of patch pannels for the cab and the floor but nothing for the bottom of the doors.
There was a guy that posted a while back indicating that he wanted to know what patch pannels were not available.
I think he was going into business making patch pannels.
Can't remember his name.
I would normally search for his post but I have parts to sell and need 25 posts to place parts for sale - so, am building up my posts.
Thanks
Dan

Board member Reamer was making patch panels for the bottom of the doors for '48-52s. I don't know if he's still making them. You could try to PM or email him but you'll need a minimum of 25 posts to do so through the FTE system.
