The driver's door on my 52 Pacemaker 2 dr. coupe is in sad shape. Does anyone fabricate just the skin?

    Jak, nobody does it on a production basis. I'm sure there are folks who have had it done on an as needed basis, but I'm guessing you are looking for a commercially available product.

    Sadly no...

    Seet metal reproduction parts are nearly non-existant for these cars...other than the floorpan Ken Amman makes.

    Someone may have a decent door that you could buy - but otherwise you or someone else will need to fabricate the piece(s) needed.

    I had this dilemna on my Jet. Both the bottom halves of the doors on the passenger side of the car were in bad shape. By the time you hunt down what you think is a good door , get hit with reality (realizing these doors, too, are 50 plus years old and have a surprise lurking) and get them up to par, you can be done fabricating and know that you have a solid piece of metal. I went the fabrication route and am pleased with the results. We also had to fabricate new rocker panels, so it's one of those things where once you're into a project that becomes more extensive than originally thought, might as well do it right. Sorry, I don't have a picture to include.

    Sarah......Thanks for your insight into matter of another used door vs. fabrication of the present one. Good luck into your continued restoration.
