Door issues
I put on some new used doors on my 79 F350, i noticed the passenger door pops in real easy, I can pop it back out from inside the door. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

The metal has been stretched. You can fix it with a pick hammer and a dolly. Hold the dolly on the back side of the door, and starting on the "outside" of the area that pops in, you need to pound with the pick end of the hammer. Work your way around the area that dents or pops in. I like to work in a counter clockwise direction starting at the outside working your way into the center of the area. These small dimples will shrink the metal and you will find after a bit of working the metal it will no longer pop in.
