I silently cheer every time I see an update! Interesting cracks yall found, I have similar rattles that I can make stop by pressing on the door. Guess I'm going in! Good stuff as always.

Read the updates, great work so far.
Two sugestions,

1) Drill the rivets and the patch panel and use some panel adhesive on it before re-reviting it back on. Makes a much stronger repair.

2) Remove that threaded piece for the handle and re-rivet it to the inside of the door. Again will make for a much stronger repair.

1) Done. Used Goop Adhesive & Rivets.

2) Tried that. There was no way to hold the threaded piece behind the door skin; too much crap to get my hand inside there. If this fails I'll do another door-skin patch with the factory part. Good observation. George

so why the cage on the roof outside, but the rest inside? Why not all inside for a clean outside look? Maximizing interior space?

You hit the nail right on the head. There's not enough room on the inside to put such a cage, not to mention, if you do go over, you minimize the damage to the vehicle. Good question, though.
