i decided to give his stuff a try i replaced the lower section both inside and outside. when the pieces arrived they looked great. the inner panel is an amazing repro the outside one is good but it lacks th bow of the orginal door, in other words its dead flat and th door isnt. if i did i again i wouldnt use th flange that comes stamped on the piece (the one that slides under the upper door shell) i'd cut it off which maybe would allow the piece to match up better.
if you decide to use these parts be prepared for ALOT o final fit work an be sure your coniden that you can adjust the door after the new pieces are on (it can be a real pain) in retrospect i dont think i'd change both pieces at the same time. i dont think i'd ever change the inner panel again, and as i think about it more i really didnt save any money i could have bought a door and had it shipped here for bout the same money and a hell of a lot less headach so all in all i wont do it again i'll buy a good set and ship
