Dave,
You have not killed me with pictures. Rather, I am more convinced that my doors need the same treatment. I have fuzzies, new glass etc. So, I will follow your lead and fill holes and fix the stress cracks. (Once I get gas for the welder. Some dumb arse (me) left the valve on). Oh yeah, have not welded for years so I must practice on some scraps first
.
Thanks for taking the time to upload and post the pictures.
