Just buy the tools from the same people you bought the skin from. Almost every mustang restoration company sells them, one tool removes the old skin, one tool crimps it back down. Kinda helps to have two extra hands until you get a few crimps set so the skin does not try to pull out of positions. I always just use a deap throat welding clamps to get the skin set and then crimp it down.

Like mike said, here's a direct link:

It's very much what you have to do to put a new skin on your door. The only differences will be the spot weld locations that you have to drill out, and i don't think you have to remove the top support like how i had to do with my 72.

Here's a M&F article for doorskins on a 65:
