Hello Jeff, the door on our 66 Overlander suffered a similar accident and
equally bad repair.  I took the door off the hinge, removed the interior
skin and sawed the bad weld.  I then refitted the door and heliarced the cut
with aluminum rod.  I now fits very tightly.  Perhaps you can find a local
welding shop to do it for you.  One has to be carful not to overheat the
skin. Gerald S.
