You need to get to a metal shop and run that door through a roller. If you lived in NJ I'd hook you up.

X2 Rob, it's funny that you said that because I was thinking the exact same thing. My friend owns Paterson Sheet Metal and has a roller that could straighten that out in less time than it takes to talk about it..... or... he could make a brand new one out of stainless for that really classy look.

If only my hands could do it. I already welded a brace on the back, atatched it to a table, and put 2 pipe wrenches on it and hung from them to try and tweak it, but it wasn't enough pressure(guess that 60 pounds I lost actually hurt me for a change). Haven't been able to work on it for a week now as I got sick on Thanksgiving with the flu. And if that wasn't bad enough, my 2 year old got sick within an hour of me getting sick. So all weekend my poor wife had to take care of me because my fever got so bad I couldn't stand up because I was dizzy, but she also had to help out with our 2 year old being just as sick. Fortunately about all he wanted to do was lay down and sleep on my chest on the couch, so at least we were together and she didn't have to go across the house. Just now getting better, but my son is still down.

Holy Toledo, I feel for all of you.
Black Cloud Hangs over us too--Thanksgiving Day was OK, mealtime was nice and I even landed a few redfish in the afternoon. All turned south that evening when my 82 yr old dad went to sleep and couldn't catch his breath. Congestive Heart Failure complicated by a bad chest cold/bronchitis. Off to the ER in Gainesville at 12:45 am Friday, Black Friday no less and the main entrance to the Oaks Mall on Newberry Rd. just so happens to share the same stoplight as North Florida Regional Medical Center... I could watch the frackus from my dad's hospital room.
Thankfully they were able to dry him out and he was released Sunday morning. The entire time my mom has been fighting off the same chest cold and with her COPD and other breathing issues I was just as concerned with her as I was my dad. Back and forth from Suwannee to Gainesville is a trek and I didn't sleep much. But it really wasn't about me-- could have been worse, we still counted the many blessings bestowed upon us..we are family and I was glad to be there to help for a change.. They are both resting at home this morning and expected to make a full recovery.
