I like the pull on the fenders, I did not have the heart to do it to my convertible, wanted to do it on my coupe but sold the car.

you can see where the body line on the door still has a sharp edge, and the 1/4 panel has allready been rounded off....the door will be shaped in the morning.

I would skin that whole door, they originally bulge out to meet the fender and 1/4 and are lower in the center, its one of those things that will really show up when the car is shiny black again

i didn't repair the door, i replaced it, the 1/4 was pulled and shaped to fit the factory door, the bulge is still there, just hard to see it the pics because of the matt finish on the filler.

the driver side looks identical to the passenger side.
