Anthony Tullock (aka '40MercCoupe) [ View ] [ Email ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] Greeneville, Tennessee

Hi guys, Just been messin' around (and messing up) some of the work on my coupe. My brother-in-law, the body guy, has told me I need to try and find some doors. Long story, anyway. If anyone has some ideas as to where I might find some Mercury doors please e-mail or respond to this thread.

The Merc and Lincoln doors have stainless steel or chrome around the windows. I may be ignorant due to lack of knowledge, hence the question. What is wrong is not the skin itself but the supports inside, again showing my ignorance as I do not know the correct term. While attempting to install the poppers the supports gave way. It looked like an attempted fiberglass repair failed. Should I just try to replace the whole door or just fix what I've got? Thanks Eric but the car will not have the same interior or paint scheme when all is said and done. The stance will be the same though. I appreciate and respect any advice.
