OK folks..I searched and found lots of pictures of the A-pillar repair, discussions on aligning doors etc.
What I cannot find is any reference to how to get the skin off on the edge nearest the door. I see that is it spot welded to the other side by the fender, but the door side almost appears to be simply folded over (?)
Is it spot welded also? I just need to do the lower 6" patch..not the whole pillar. The tapping plate and its structure are gonzo..I have new of both.
What I have done so far was to cut horizontally about 1/2" below where the patch will go (but not all the way through on the 'back' or door edge), drilled out the spot welds and then cut vertically down the skin about 1/2 way to remove the front 1/2 of the rusted out skin..
How to get the back half off? I'll try to post some pics of where I am later tonight..
THanks!
