I've been putting off working on this part of my restoration. The front door pillar.
Unfortunately I have to do the drivers and passengers, as well as the passengers rear pillar.
I've been preparing to do this and I think I'm almost ready to get to it.
I've sprayed rust inhibiting paint where the pillar will go, and also inside of the pillar itself. I will spray some weld-thru primer where the welding will happen.
I've read that it's recommended to use self-tapping screws to put it into place, then mount door, check for alignment, and repeat this 100x until door aligns well.
I'm wondering how many self-tapping screws are needed to be able to hold the pillar with the door?
Any other good tips?
