BigDaddy Oct 10th, 99, 5:57 AM I need to replace the right door skin on my 67 Chevelle SS. Are the reproduction skins as good as the original? Has anyone had a good expierience with a reproduction skin? Does anyone have OEM skins? Any of your help would be appreciated. Shawn Oct 10th, 99, 3:20 PM I've never done any sheetmetal work before but I would guess that they're pretty close to the original with the exception of some waves that need to be sanded and filled in but other than that it should fit fine. ------------------ 1970 Chevy Custom El Camino aka Kaileigh Green Mist & Silver w/Green Vinyl Top 350ci/300HP 4bbl & Factory Dual Exhaust Non-SS with Factory Rallies!

Got mine from Ground Up. Good luck Tom P.S. If you go this way and get yours on in the next couple of months let me know how they fit. I'm not going to do mine until I get the rest of my Sheet Metal. ------------------ Tom Belleville, IL 67SS Yellow right now:( Member #409 mr409 Dec 27th, 99, 5:03 AM You might want to test fit the door handle. I heard somewhere that the hole needs to be enlarged on some or all and you don't want to do that after it's painted. ------------------ Bob (Pa.) 1963 Impala 283 1966 Chevelle SS 409 1969 Malibu 307 1972 Malibu 307 1969 Chevy stepside 350 Bob's 409 Chevy Page http://members.spree.com/entertainment/mr409/bob_s_409_chevy_page_index.html MR454SS Dec 27th, 99, 1:11 PM I know several pretty good body men in my area and they say door skins are one of the hardest things to do, pretty involved,they recommend getting rust free doors out of the west,rather than reskinning.Here is a number out of Hemmings motor news if you are interested in going this route.

I would much rather do door skins than hang rear quarters. Grind off the old skin,about 20 minutes and bang on the new, about 1 hour. If you haven't done it before , the second one will be much better than the first. ------------------ Harley 69 461 El Camino Nitrous Model(water Logged), 69 Chevelle coupe 70 El Camino,71 SS Camaro 79 Corvette Kerrville,Tx.
