Hi Guys,
Anyone have much luck re-skinning a door? I did mine yesterday and am not really happy with it. Started with a Dynacorn skin but I don't think there's any issue with that. I used a air operated door skinning tool which did not operate as easy as they make it look in the video. Right on the tool head it says "Max Air 60#" but I had to turn my flow up to 100# to get it to start folding the flange over. At 60# it wouldn't tear a wet paper towel.
Anyway, look at the pic. The lower line on the door was rippled due to the tool and I will need to do some work there to smooth but it's not too bad. Can be fixed. I'm more worried about the gap above the rocker as it's fairly consistent all the way along but then gets really tight at the last 4 or 5 inches on hinge side. The door is up as high as possible on the hinge end and the body contours line up good on the other end.
I have not tack welded the skin yet.
Any suggestions??
Chris
