Couple more rust questions...

[rusty ol ranger]

Ill keep these simple unlike the rear sill debacle...

1- My drivers side door post is rotted out, just the bottom corner where they always do. I seen bronco graveyard has patches for these on the big broncos...you think it would be close enough to make work? Its only 25bucks so gambles are ok.

2- My body perch under the drivers floorpan is...sad. When i drug rusty #1 from the field i noticed those are about new looking yet, they look a bit different then the broncos do...but you think if i cut it out at somepoint it could be welded in to replace the broncos?

Besides a few iffy sections in the rear seat area thats about all thats left to make it pretty damn solid.

There's a guy on YouTube who has a bunch of videos about making patch panels with simple tools... And some videos about how to make the simple tools. I've picked up several great tips and tricks from him, and as a bonus you get to listen to his Newfie accent. Here's one as a starting point:

Edit: maybe even better link:

When a lot of us say we did some CAD work… it’s usually Cardboard Aided Design…
