    Hey guys, I went to a holiday party this weekend and when I came out, some no-integrity #&!@*...., hit my van. They got the rear side door pretty good. Do you guys know where a person can find one? Preferably in good/non rusted shape?
    I don't have windows but I would take one that does.
    Thanks in advance!!
    I appreciate your time!

    Hey Chaz I make replacement skins for $200 each if you'd like to go that route.

    Hey man, Thanks!!!! I may take you up on that. I have a welding shop so that could be the way to go. How are the edges finished?
    I will be starting on the body in the near future and if something else doesn't show up, I'll take'em.
    Thanks again!!!

    the flanges are 5/8 tipped 90 degrees. You strip the old skin, place this over the inner structure then finish hemming all 4 sides. The flange is best seen in this photo.

    Hey Thanks Dan! Tell your friends! I love making these door skins. So much potential for folks to really straighten some crap out on their vans without making a lot of patches and body working them to death, or worse HAVING WINDOWS! Very Happy
