Thank you. When you cut through the body, did you fold the outer skin in? I'm just wondering how you closed off the outer and inner skin.

I had a friend of mine measure and have some sheet metal bent/ formed for the open edges on the body and door.
Its kindof hard to see but one the door there are U shaped channels of sheet metal that just slipped over the door skin and I welded them inplace.

The wires are for the tail/brake lights in that door. The oridional wiring ran down the roof into the door so I needed to extend them temporarily so i can open the door and still have lights. I will comeup with a better solution eventually but it works for now.
