How were the door skins quality-wise? The doors look good in your pics.
The skins were pretty good. Where the inner and outer are welded together inside the door, I had to rebend that tab to line up better but that was easy. What I should have looked at before test fitting the door was the lower front corner - I should have hammered the edges over with a little more inward force. The corners stuck out a little bit and hit the rocker at the front edge when you open the door. I had to grind the first couple inches and reweld it to get the gap right. But the skins fit the contour of the inner structure well and they seem to have good EDP on them so I'm happy with them.
