I knew the issue immediately was the car construction as I've miscalculated too. Too many cars have doors that are wrapped around a wheel well and don't open far enough as the hinge has a stop.
Sorry about your day Ken, Things can only get better from here
Yep tomorrow should be better. @BarberDave @Dave in KY @NurseDave
I appreciate all of your comments and well wishes. Who would've thought that my "optimism" was a bad thing.
Was trying to save gas. As the car gets waaay better mileage than my truck.

Okay well today went like I had planned. Which is a good thing. Got the door on. Key cylinder swapped over. Door panel swapped over. The window motor/regulator works fine. So now I have a spare Of that (regulator/motor. As well as all the guts of the door= latch, handle, mirror etc. It's white and dang close to the color of the car. But the misses says not close enough. So gonna get ahold of my buddy that I've known for a loooong time. He has a very good body shop. And is good people. We'll see what magic he can do getting this new door to match.
Good shave. Always are with my Fili's and the CBL 1508.5 soap doing "the business".
Hope you all had a good Tuesday. On the docket for tomorrow. Mulch spreading with my dad. Yay
Have a good one guys.

Very productive day, sir!
See, a day later and all is well
It seems as though you may have some time to kill, there @NurseDave . Fear not or should I say fear knot. There will be a video tomorrow. To introduce a new brush. As well as recap the debacle and goings on. Surrounding the acquisition of the car door. Besides you can re-watch @BarberDave 's first SV video. It's 25+ minutes.
When I watched it. There was only one problem that I saw with the Tundra Artica soap. Patchouli.... no es algo bueno for this Hombre. Two things I can't abide. Patchouli and goats. There are many other SV products that will wind up in my den though.
Stronk work, Fluffy. If the color being a little off is the only problem, I'd call that a great day.
Yea Ben even the same paint code year to year. Is going to be slightly different enough to necessitate some blending/matching. If it was my car I would let it ride. But she is being fussy about it. 
Good shave tonight/last night. Just got done the Zoom call with the guys and gals. And finished my Oreo's off. Mucho fun lots of laughs and a newly minted member was initiated live and in real time. Great stories shared among the group. And even one member showing off his singing talent. Some insider info on the fires going on in @BarberDave and @uacowboy 's neck of the woods/desert. I got some important info on the brush group buy. And some racy topics with strange kinks were revealed. NSFW but one member handled the dicey situation with aplomb even face timing his boss during the Zoom. Multitasking on a whole new level. I highly recommend getting involved on the next Zoom call. They are a great escape.
Video of the shave posted. If you want to know how a guy named Lafayette wound up working in junk yard in Pennsylvania. Check out my video. Burn 25 minutes of your time. Sorry no refunds folks. You get what you pay for.

Glad you are enjoying the brush. I got it last year straight from China but never really clicked with it, although I did send me down the brush rabbit hole a bit. I’ll have to ask my wife where she put the package that you sent my way in the morning. I wouldn’t be surprised it my daughter got a hold of it and tucked it away somewhere with the rest of her toys somewhere.
Can't abide an aphrodisiac and a mammal with way cool eyes?
It's only 10AM here. And I already have had a couple noteworthy things transpire. As you can see from the time stamps above. I was active into the wee hours. Kind of like when you're at a sleepover. You just get amped up. I eventually went to bed at 0300. I have today off so no problem'o , right. Wrong! At 0800 one of @Cvargo 's cousins. Fired up his zero turn mower. And in case you didn't know. The "zero" in the name also means zero chance of me sleeping in. The dog starts fussing. So now I gotta roll my sorry ass outta bed.
Get dressed. Get downstairs and head out the door with my four legged amigo Bandit. With full intentions of giving Hector Manuel Vargo. My new nemesis. The patented Fluffy early morning scowl. As me and the dog are walking out into his favorite deuce dropping zone. Here comes Hector. Proudly piloting his ticket to the American dream. It is then that I notice something. That changes my attitude toward him. There on his upper lip and chin. Is a very sad and depressing example of a mustache and soul patch. I am no longer angry at this young intrepid landscaper.
And I give him a comforting smile and wave as he passes by. For he is obviously afflicted by the "Vargo Curse" A rare condition that effects some individuals ability to grow thick lustrous facial hair. Poor guy.
Once back in the house. I make my first cup of coffee and join my wife on the couch. First question. "Why did you come to bed so late?" "How can you spend so much time talking about shaving? How do you respond to that? It is a legitimate question. So I proceed to give her some of the highlights from last nights zoom call. Ending with the subject of the monumental event. Of a new girl joining our gang. At this point I realize that she is only half listening. Just to test this theory. I mentioned that I was encouraging "her " @mvargo to start posting "shaving videos".
The reaction was swift and immediate. "What exactly did you ask to see her do?" Nothing like having to tell your wife to get her mind out of the gutter.
Then tell her if you want to know what goes on here. "All you have to do is join up" Don't hold your breath though.
Have a good day guys.

Well Bruce all I can say is. Sense of smell is very subjective. And those goat eyes staring into your soul. And trying to suck all the joy and life out of you. That's a "Hard No" from me.
The next time I come across a stray goat. Or some guy liquidating his stockpile of incense. I'll give em your contact info.
