A little light entertainment: 1939 Ford 1 ton Utility restoration

Thanks Cliff.

Now for the doors. I pulled them apart awhile ago and got them sandblasted.

I left one intact as it was not too badly dented even though the bottom is rusted out. I took the skin off the other mainly so I could access the dents and straighten it out. It too is rusted out in the bottom.

But that was before I had a really really good look at them.

Both look like they have been let go in the wind without the check straps attached and have gone past the limit of the door hinges. They have also had hits in the lock end of the doors resulting in inner frames that are somewhat no longer straight.

A lot of hammering with big and little hammers and a bit of porter power improvision eventually got the inner frames sorted out.
