Looks great! I dont know if I would be thrilled to have to cut my own hole and drill for the mirror though. I guess since there are a couple of different spacings out there it makes sense to have the skin whole and the person can put their own holes. They probably figure if someone can weld a skin on they can cut a mirror hole. It is nice that the aftermarket is finally supporting our cars so well.   :2thumbs:

Doorskin is on. I hung the door and fender without any adjustments, in fact the fender is held on by just two bolt up top. All in all the lines are very precise, and I have doen zero fine tuning up to this point.
As you know i had problems with the front edge top curve, I will have to fill this gap in with 1/8 inch rod that I will weld in. I should be able to fill the gap nicely.

It does look if not all the holes are stamped, such as the umper door bumper and the catwiskers have to be the clip in style and not the screw in typ like my orignals. Hopefully thats what I have in my new parts inventory.

I am not the best metal worker and I am sure someone with better skills could do a better job installing the doorskin, but I am pleased so far.

i for one, think you did a fine job!!
nice and tidy so far.
what i did on a bad gap, was add a peice of .020 ga. and roll it after welding, so it looks right.
