been there done that
used a driver side panel from a donor to make my no door chop
nice bonus using the panel was the upper roofline/body line came with it
thats the tuff one to "re-create" and have look good
added a vert wall rib and it was done "like new"

this van i welded the 2 side doors over and when i got educated on the task
in my opinion the only bonus using the old doors was "integrity" of the wall seemed much tougher that when i used the driver side panel on the 65
but ALOT more body work to make happen using the old doors
before
