Things slowed down undesirably but that's how it goes when your employer fires 3000 people in one week.
Two days after the last post, after over 8 years service, I had to start over. A little turmoil resulted.
I picked away at the project but tried not to spend any money, and partially failed.

About a month later I got an all-around way better job somewhere else....so time to get cracking again.

One door is race ready, if there is any such thing.

Ended up doing more repairs to the inner, then using a crazy combination of
acid wash and blasting to clean it, then a few coats of epoxy. The skin was more straightforward to install than I thought it would be.
I can say that AMD door skin really did fit perfectly, the prep issues that I did have were my own fault and inexperience showing.

I expect the second/left door skin to go on smoother, or at least it won't seem like a brand new thing anymore.
