Driver's door or door skin

Rockcrawler · 03-06-2012, 08:43 PM

Brakes work awesome. Missed plowing the lead deer as I shut it down. The second deer, a doe tagged my door full tilt. about 5 dents, all very shallow, can reskin that door or just get a replacement..... anybody have anything?

Fender got tagged near the Z emblem too, that should PDR.

I have a set of doors but you'd have to paint to match.

You can't skin the doors either fix them or replace them.

Because????? the skins are readily available, got two quotes. Is it the bonding? or tig welding because it's AL? It's not far from being a candidate for PDR, but there is a slight crease where the door beam is.

ok, will see, I'm in aviation manufacturing, we actually make airplane doors amongst other things..... so the "how to" doesn't scare me in the least bit.... now I need to see about getting parts.
