    Well if they're using the full skins that are already available on them, they should be a good fit.
    I have a pair and they fit the aperture very well with all the swage lines good. Just hope the hinges on the new ones are in the correct place or that'll f---k up the whole fit.

    I have them in stock and I must say excellent quality, hinges may need shimming to suit your shell.

    So are the hinges not welded to the door?

    i would imagine they are but tim is saying you might need to use some washers to adjust the height of the doors

    i think its just a general disclaimer for anyone who thinks you can buy a new panel for a 40 yr old car and it will 100% fit, every car every time.

    They are welded to the door, but as above may need shimming to get perfect alignment and this can vary from one shell to another.
