One advantage to having scavenged the replacement used inner door panel from the wrecker... I now had an original jamb to harvest the "telephone receiver". Recall the quarter which was cut off was a replacement GM panel with only half a receiver as with the replacement NOS GM panel I was now putting on. Well, we can fix that detail.
I tig welded the receiver in only because I wanted to practice with the tig.
Because of the previous jamb and inner door panel damage, It was best to also attach the jamb/striker reinforcement to the panel first. That way the quarter can be perfectly aligned and welded to the inner panel afterwards.
