Okay, I think I may have been had... I bought a pair of fiberglass doors, unused from a guy... he said they are the heavier-duty doors from us body source. Anyway, I got 'em and I can't see how they would support the weight of themselves at the hinges.. the fiberglass is kinda flimsy it seems. He also told me that I will be able to put all of my original hardware back on... true or not? Please help me out, I only have a month to finish my doors before I go back to school!
Gracias amigos

I think your right.The company you mentioned does not have a good reputation and their parts seem to be only good for race cars,where fit is not real important.The seller probably dicovered this and figured he could unload them and cut his losses.

AHHHH CRAP!!! I hate it when stuff like this happens... Well, Maybe I will just look for new metal doors... or just bondo the hell out of the ones I have now... Man, you just can't trust people you don't know these days... they do look pretty low quality... The guy also gave me one fiberglass fender though. The fender looks really good, unlike the doors. I think that the doors are not from the same company because the fender has a nice thick gelcoat on it and the doors have some crappy coating. I would rather nt spend the time making the doors useable, so I guess I will just try to sell them for how much I paid for them. Anyone need fiberglass doors???

Why dont you just have your original doors reskinned.New skins are only about $120 each.

The skins are really not so bad, it is the panel on the inside that is rusty... By the bottom corners rust has completely eaten through the metal. Also, I don't think that I have the skills to reskin the doors just yet. Thanks though, I will keep that in mind.
