There Comes a time in every un keep 1st owner car where the owner sells it toa teenager...... me. A 6 months down the line of owning his 83 Berlieneeta Camaro he relalizes he needs new floor boards and rocker panels..... as well as door skins.

I'd probably say that you're better off getting a full set of used doors instead of screwing with skins. I've fooled with a lot of rotten thirdgen doors, and most of the time the inner piece that the skin wraps around is rotten too, which means that you've got nothing for the skin to attach to. I'd say hit the junk yards and see what you can get for good doors.

i've never done any of this with my camaro, but i used to had a dodge daytona, that needed fender and door repair when i bought it. i found out that it was not only easier, but it was much cheaper to buy a used door from a junkyard than to buy a new door skin.
