    Default Does anyone make full Door Skins for the early foxes?

    I just pulled the passenger door apart on my 1982 GT (because the latch broke). Inside the door I see bondo that has seeped through a bunch of holes someone drilled to pull out dent right at the line where the door molding goes . Since my car is a manual window car, it is kind of hard to find a replacement (and my car is a Texas car so it is not rusty). Does anyone make full door skins for these cars? I can only find partial ones so far (they are for the bottom half of the door).

    I don't believe anyone offers a full skin at this time. IMHO, it will be easier to replace the door with a good used one rather than skin your original. Should be easy enough to find in Texas too.

    Best of Luck!

    Thanks. .I was afraid of that. I'll start watching for a door. In college my roommate was re-doing a 69 Mach one and I talked him into replacing the door skins because we had just done 70 Camaro door in Auto Body. After we ground the skins off we found out no one made them yet. Don't want to make that mistake again.

    You can swap all of your manual window parts to a power door.

    Thanks - I was wondering that. I figured that because I found manual regulators for the 1988 GT I got my seats from (it was an acquaintance from the Mustang board).
