Default Aluminum Door Channel

I just lined the inside of the body with aluminum instead of the push on plastic channel. I bought a length of 3/8 x 1/2 angle at Home Depot and heated it with a torch to anneal it. This made it dead soft and plyable like butter. Once shaped I drilled and tapped for 6/32 button heads into the fiberglass.
