Has anyone ever "thickened" up the studs so the nuts will fit tight on them? I know they make repro doors, I would prefer to reuse my existing one

I would not use regular JB Weld Chris, The JB weld MARINE epoxy is pretty much on par with the POR-15 putty performance wise/spec wise for finish harness, just that the JB Marine takes a good day or 2 to fully harden, the POR is ready to go in about 12 hrs Mike

I've used both on projects, but IMHO the MARINE version seems to offer a better bond to surfaces

I got rid of some of the roughness with emery without sanding down the residual stud. After that I took some thin wall brass tubing from the hobby shop of the "just" right id to fit over the stud and epoxied it on. after all set up I thinned down the od of the tubing just a bit with emery and slightly enlarged the id of the self threading nuts with an awl and ran them on.
