Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Gremlin body or metal parts needed

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Replacing the pillar section is a big job that requires exact measuring
and cutting the car's pillar and the replacement part. I have been a
welder and fabricator and ran a body shop for 40 years so this job was
not a problem for me. The door bolted back on and only needed a minor
adjustment to fit. I did this job 5 years ago and it is still fine.

The worst rust is located around the door hinge area. The door hinges
themselves are almost rusted in two. I have another set of doors and
hinges to go on the car. I was hoping that there was a better way to
repair this area, but I think the metal will give way if I patch it. I
will check in Sioux City junkyards and see if they have any cars with
good bodies. I think I may just go ahead and get the A frame too as
there are some nasty areas on there as well.
When you replaced your pillar, was it difficult to re-align the door?
