My car's getting a much needed makeover, so far they cut out the rusty areas and patched in new metal.
This car used to be my daily driver back in the day, it's seen a few winters.
I'm kicking myself in the nuts now...

We decided to try and find a set of clean used doors before spending a lot of time rebuilding these. The bottom seams are rotted away and the skins are flapping. It's not pretty...:(

If anyone knows of some clean Regal or Cutlass doors give me a shout.:thumbsup

Yup, our winters will do that. I've seen much worse though. Good thing it's being tackled before it gets worse. Clean doors should be out there, I wouldn't bother trying to repair the rust on a bolt on part either.

Here might be one Cutlass/Regal door:

I've got a couple of sets of GM door skins, might be more $$$ than you want to spend....A friend had a few sets of doors, I'll check with him and see if he has any left.

I do have a few deck lids and some misc trim, let me know if your in need of something......

thanks man, I'm psyched for the new look.

GRNDNL, thanks but I'd rather hang doors than replace skins.
If you're friend still has those doors let me know.
thanks!
You don't have a cowl hood laying around by any chance do you?
