67-68 door shells

I have seen these listed, anyone have any experience with em?

No, but can you imagine the effort required to put all of the internals in the door? I had five cuts trying to put a clip on the lock rod! Not to mention the adjustment required for the window. I am debating on buying one of these, but if I do, I can guarantee you I would cut the shell off the old door to see how everything worked.

I had one of the repo doors for my old 66 and it flat out SUCKED!!! Buy a nice original or a Ford tooling one!

I am not sure if I understand what you are saying, but the new doors are not complete, just the shell. You would have to pull all the internals out and change them over. And yeah, done it several times on my car. Not too bad, but getting the sissor assembly back in is just the worst when you cannot remember how you did it the last time.

I also dont think there is a ford tooling door for 67-68 yet. they just started doing the door shells a few years ago. The ones I am seeing are $360ish.
