after a month of working on home projects good to be back on the REDO  ::thumbup

The lower portion of the driver door was sticking out too much when compared to the rocker panel.

Cut the bottom of the door,  attached blocks and screws to bring the lower portion of out door skin in.

Fiberglass  rage ultra  and sand

Now a nice smooth transition from the door to the rocker

After a couple long weekends and a ton of rocks, 78 post and 640 feet of fence installed.  My gal did an excellent job of signaling when the auger was out of alignment.

I think she will be glad when Im back working on the REDO. :LL:

If the REDO comes out as nice as the fence I would be happy ::usa ::salute

taking a look at the side shot of the REDO vs OEM,  The angle of the scoop seemed off.  ::toothy

cut off some material sanded, refit, cut off some more sanded etc, until the angle seem right.

Made a flange on the Qtr panel to affix scoop,

I absolutely LOVE how you document the problem and then the solution. What a great example of what can be accomplished with a little bit of courage and willingness to make it right. Great job!

Thank you!  hopefully it will be helpful to other builders out there
