Default Door corners anyone?

1969 passenger door lower left

Lower left corner passengers side of my 69 Vette. I've been doing this frame off for about 4 years and finally getting around to exterior body work. Notice how it is rounded off with a nice fillet? I placed blue tape behind it to show where I'm thinking it should be. Can anyone tell me how to shape them?

Default ?

what I'm asking is can someone take a picture of this area or confirm that the corner should not have a radius?

Hi C69,
Here you go.
Both the front and rear lower door corners had precise angles. Many rear for corners have been rounded off from opening the door into a concrete curb.
Regards,
Alan

He just needs to hire a "ghost writer" and provide him/her with his photos. He should contract for a decent percentage of the GROSS sales BEFORE signing any contract or providing the photos.

It would be an easy process and the book would help thousands of folks.
