|
|
I need to replace the drivers door pretty urgent, it's falling apart. Passenger door is better but would need to be replaced in a near future as well.
What year models fit, preferably off the shelf or with small modifications?
I plan to keep the skin since it has the right look (rat), color and model. Will use only the "pressed" back of the door (is this possible/feasible?). I'm pointing this just in case this fact increases the model range that fits my bus.
Also I have repro window frame with piano hinges so I will use just the back part of the door. Thanks in advance.
PS: is the inner part only of the early bd door available new from klassic fab? searched their website to no avail _________________ Buy the best. Cry once.

i believe this is what you need to change though a 1951 could be a completely different beast.
anyone? Bueller?

eddiemoney, thanks for your reply but it is not what I am searching.
this is what is falling apart, the whole inner frame of the door, the outer skin is ok. The red square shows what I probably have to modify if i use a later non BD door. So, everything you see in the pic must be replaced in my door, in other words the complete door except for the outer skin.

klassic fabs website has a small part of the inner frame.
KF323 LOWER FRONT DOOR INNER FRAME RIGHT SIDE ALL YEARS
(although I need left side, klassic fab has only right hand side pic)
wonder if they make the complete inner frame, that's what I need

Still looking for drivers door inner frame (new) to fix door.
As far as I understand Klassic Fab still has only the
KF323 LOWER FRONT DOOR INNER FRAME RIGHT SIDE ALL YEARS
as stated aboe in this thread.
Any tips (link) or hints on where to buy other sections of the inner frame (drivers door, new) would be highly appreciated. _________________ Buy the best. Cry once.
