Advice please...

I have a hole in the door of my truck about the size of a 12 guage slug. I've heard a few ideas on how to repair it but I'm not feeling confident that any will work. I don't even want a ripple in the door when I'm finished if I can avoid it. Help?

Sorry to be off topic here, but there are no 69 Velles in that print [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] , otherwise it's sharp.

Yeah and what's with all these vinyl roof '70's?

Just so you two dudes don't think I'm biased at all, here's a picture of me from my brother-in-law's wedding back in 1971. I was probably a little trimmer then and had much more hair [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

Ah yes. Champagne Gold, C.I, Uniroyals and "pasties" on the caps! She's ready to party.
And if you'll notice, this is my "69"th post. Especially for you, Don!

Don awesome pic!! Do you have any others of your car? Was it an SS 454 or 396?

I could look at these vintage pics all day. I wish I was around back then!

Dennis - you made that post just for me? Ah shucks [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

Frank - I just came across that picture about two years ago, found it in the bottom of a dresser drawer. It was an L34 396 by the way.

SierraClassic,
Let me take a shot at it (no pun intended!)

1. weld in a patch panel
2. replace the door skin
3. replace the door
or
4. cut off the VIN, drive another truck under it, and re-rivet the VIN. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Seriously, if you are concerned about a patch panel, replace either the door skin or the entire door.
