Door striker posts.

My dart convertible drivers door was torn clear off, welded, and brazed back on before I got the car. The striker was a permanent fixture. I had to cut away all the bad metal, pieced in a clean section from a 4 door clean car, then added a thick plate to the rear (don't recall the thickness but it was substantial). From the shiny side there is no difference and it works like a charm. The downfall is it is a horrible spot to try to weld from the backside to get the plate in there. When done I leaded the area so it is all metal. I was fortunate that I was doing 1/2 panels too, so I had a bit more room, but not much. Here are pics from along the way. Although I don;t have a painted photos of that area, but believe me it is near to perfect.
