Does anyone know of a site that will give me help in repairing the door jams on my 1974 Bronco Ranger? They have completely rotted through and I need help. According to my wife I need help for buying this Bronco

As the wise Yoda would say......Patience you will need.....yeeesssss. Just a couple of bits of experience. #1 Take before measurements from points that won't move when you start cutting stuff apart. #2 Drill all spot welds, and use a chisel to seperate those that you cant drill. Don't sawzall, it really doesn't save that much time, and makes comparisons impossible. #3 Tack that booger on and check, measure, check, and did I say check for fit again. ONLY when you feel you have obtained as close to Broncfection as is possible should you stitch that baby on. Remember, no aftermarket piece is perfect, so you will have to play with it to get the fit the way you want it. Good luck and post pics, it makes us feel better about our projects.
