65/6 repo doors

[no_3]

My doors are Swiss Cheese, is there anybody who has used the repo doors out there? What do you think of the quality and fit

Humm, I ask a tech question on a tech forum which nobody answers. But you all rush in with comments on Wilson old fart cr@p song glad he's dead picket.

I've been here a long time and don't remember anyone using them. That being said, I've read that they recently improved the doors for better fit and correctness. I think the reason most people haven't tried them is due to the fact you would have to transfer all of the internals to the new door;glass, tracks,rollers,lock rods,etc... and that is not an easy task.

Maybe you didn't get an answer in the time that you wanted because no one has any experience with repo doors or those who did didn't see your post. You need to stop acting like a juvenile.

Well, d@mn, with a response like that, youi must be about 12, and 12 year olds can't afford even the bad repop doors. Have some respect damnit, the man just died. There is such a thing as good repop doors, but damned if I'll give you the answer.

man...everyone bitching...

anyways, I ahve a set of 65-66 repop doors. Fitment is ok but they need bondo work. THe metal is not flat like it should be. Sucks transferring everything but it wasnt worth trying to fix the doors on my project.

Repro Doors

My 65 convertible was just restored using the repro doors. The body man hated them. He had to add metal to get the lines straight. He says he won't use them again. However, he did a great job and the car is awesome.

Hey I've said things on Mustang forums, I now wish I hadent. With that in mind.

I'm currently trying a passengers door, From PonderosaMustang, Matt 850-857-1084. The door is a Golden Legion brand, $270+$25 shipping. The VMF guys rave about how well these doors fit. Though fitment looks pretty good I havent been able to mount it, yet. Door is drilled for 66 size bolts (1/2" head) Mine is a 65 & uses 9/16 headed bolts. I'd never heard of the difference till now. Propper bolts should arrive today.

Most repop panels are made offshore with thinner guage material resulting in tighter creased body lines that don't match the smooth radius of the original body lines. Good body who want the cars lines straight would rather repair original panels or use original-tooled panels than spend hours making cheap panels look original.

And if you want quick answers, don't post when everyone else is counting sheep.

Tubo3, post when you mount those puppies to let us know. Is there more than one company making these? You mentioned the Golden Legion brand. I can't imagine more than one company tooling up for a small market(cost of tooling alone would mean they need to sell everybody that has a Mustang one).

 

[Tubo(2-bo)]

From what Matt has told me there are at least two mfgrs of the earliest model repop doors. The Golden Legion is supposed to be using tooling formerly owned by a U.S.Company that now does exclusively GM repros.
From my own experience, The GL repop is much better than a repop I bought from John's Mustang, in Houston, 4 years ago.
Just talked to Matt, I wont have the bolts till Monday, BUMMER. I will post results, & photos. After the camera gets back from repair. I left it on top of the car & bounced it offf of the asphalt. Just another senior moment.
