Hello all. Simple question here. Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket door shells? Not just the skin but an entire replacement door.
I had a body man come by my house to look at my project and he mentioned that even though the doors didn't look terribly bad, he'd still need to put more work on them then they're worth. His suggestion was to buy a new pair, or find a good pair of used doors.
Looking at the prices for new doors I could get a pair for 700 shipping included. Not bad. But my experience with aftermarket panels hasnt been good. I bought a pair of front fenders which I quickly turned around and sold after I test fitted them and found they were 1/2" shorter than the originals ( i fixed the originals instead).
Any help, suggestions, directions would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Stan
