camaro doors? re skin or not

[tellyv]

I would fix the doors, most door skins are ill fitting and you'll have more mud in them and 3x's the time in getting your gaps correct!!!!

Goes back to who is doing the work

I guess a pic of the doors would help, but in my coarse of life these aftermarket door skins are ****, and Ive bought them from everone, for one there not straight, too long, too short, just plain junk if the doors are fairly decent I would fix them. But if there's alot of rust or a big crease yes your better off skining them just make sure you fit them after you skin them before you do any body work.

Although, my sheetmetal is NOS. My doors were dipped, so it was bare metal during the repair. The bad section metal was cut out and then a new piece was welded back in. There is some photos on my site, that show you a correct door gap. http://www.kodakgallery.com/67rscamaro/main/8-10-2008
