NOS LH door skin wanted

Believe you will be better off by simply looking for a good used door instead of a skin. NOS parts are just service replacement pieces, hardly ever held to the same quality standard as assembly line parts.

Thanks, Charles for your reply and imput!
My next question is can a '66's door be drilled out and re-tapped for the larger bolts that are used on a '65?? has anyone done this?
-
Have never tried that, but I suppose it's possible. With a rare car like a K code convertible, I would be hunting for a good parts car with a VIN(unit number) close to the K.

If mrmory serves me correctly, all you need to replace is the metal adjustment brackets at the front of the door to attach the hinges to. They are held in place with a crude cage that can easily be opened up to replace with the plate you need for you specific bolts.
