Default Door replacement

I am considering replacing the doors on my 65 due to rust issues. Can you recommend a place to pick up OEM NOS door shells and skins, or a reputable good fit repo manufacturer? I'm reluctant to get a used door because of the inability to see inside the doors and be back to square one if there is unseen rust. Thanks!

Used doors are ok. Remove the panel and look inside, you can see of theres any rust. Nothing like the originals.

I've used both used doors and repo skins. I had a door sent from Florida and it was terrific. I also reskinned doors with repro door skins and found it easy and excellent in appearence. Either way works.

Another choice is to cut out the cancer on your current doors and replace with new metal. That's what most restoration places do.

yeah i would have went that rout but my rust was in the grain of the interior not the exterior[&:]

and about 3 weeks after i bought the door i got 2 65-66 dorrs that were very nice for 5$ a piece, a 66 under dash ac unit for 5$ and a 65-66 coupe trunk lid for 5$ it was a great deal
