Door skins are pretty easy to do. First, you'll have to take your door off. Then grind the outter edge of the skin off. Once you have done that, the skin should lift on (depending on make and model of car, there may be a few spots welds). Once you get the skin off, clean and grind any glue that might be left. Then, apply a layer of 3M Auto Mix Panel Bonding adhesive. Lay the skin back on the door frame. Now, you'll have to use a hammer (either a body hammer or a door skin hammer) to fold down the flange around the door frame. Use either a block of wood, a dolly, or a bead bag when tapping down the flange. The first time around, don't try to fold the skin all the way...if you do..your skin may end up crooked. So, go around the door maybe 3 times. Then fit the door to the car to make sure it fits. Thats usually the way i do them...I'm sure other people might do them a little different. As far as where to get the 82-92 Camaro skins...I don't really know..maybe The Paddock..

Re: door skins

Buy the outside from a dealer! I got a set from classic industries and am having a VERY hard time getting them to fit, now i have to drill holes into the door and they still don't look very good, im very disappointed, definitively go with GM
